We wish to thank the friend who,

copied the following epitaph from the

Of The Courier who would appreciate
a copy:
James Louis Petigru. Born at
Abbeville May 10, 1899; died at
Charleston March 9th, 1868. Jurist,
orator, statesman, patriot Future
times will hardly know how great
a life this simple stone commence
rates. The tradition Of. his elo-
quence, his wisdom and his wit may
fade; but he lived for ends more
durable than fame. His eloquence
was the protection Of the poor and
wronged; his living Illuminated the
principles Of law. In the admiration
of his peers, in respect of his people,
in the affection Of his family, his
was the highest place-the lust
need Of his kindness and forbear-
ance, his dignity and simplicity, his
brilliant genius and his unwearied
nv os|F' Oud"ed ny opinion, un-
seduced by flattery. undismayed by
disaster, he confronted life by an
tique courage and death with Chris
tian hope
In the great Civil War he with
stood his people for his country; but
his people did homage to the man
who held his conscience higher than
their praise, and his country heaped
her honors on the grave of the pa
triot, to whom, living, his own
righteous self-respect suficed alike
for motive and reward"

Eel Paso, Texas, April 24.--It was
learned this morning that If there
should be need Of longer period
than five days in which to conclude
peace In Mexico, the armistice signed
yesterday between Gen. Navarro, Of
the Federal forces, and Gen. Madero,
VIII be extended from next Friday,
when the five days agreed upon ex-
pires at noon.
Negotiations for peace establish
ment had extended just far enough
to put each side in possession of the
outlines of the others demands. Gen.
Madero has known and sacredly
guarded for two weeks information
as to what the government will grant.
He telegraphed Mexico City yester-
day the nature Of his own basic de-
mands. Following this, long tele-
gram was received from the Mexican
capital, but no Indication OF its coz
tents leaked out. o..
TO Appoint Envoys.
The negotiations were at this STAGE
to-day when they were resumed.
Yesterdays experiences demon
strated that negotiations by tele-
graph, with most of the lines in Mex
leo out Of commission, are too slow
and tedious, especially where hun
| dreds Of words Of code must be used.
For this reason both parties wish
to appoint ENJOYS with full power to
act. The naming of the ENJOYS. the
selection OF meeting place and
travelling to it, 1t is thought, will re-
quire more than the four days re-
manning of the truce and hence the
| determination to extend it's duration
| If necessary.
| member OF the commission to-
day described the negotiations as be-
ing In very delicate stage, where an
undiplomatic slip might spoil every
thing. However," he added, 1--WE
have gone so far now ! am certain
that no matter what bitches may oc-
cur, basis Of peace will be reached"
Americans to Quit Madero.
! Nearly all of the Americans with
Madero, feeling that the fighting is
over, are preparing to quit the paths
OF war for the walks Of peace Many
MeXicans, Of the same opinion, have
already made tentative applications
for work in this country Scores Of
rebels up to this time had never been
out Of their native mountains. They
gaze with awe at the tall buildings Of
.El Paso and are ambitious to secure

New York, April 25.-President
| Diaz, OF Mexico, has addressed the
following dispatch to the Associated
Press:
| :" Mexico City, April 25, 1911.--In
reply to your message, in which you
ask me concerning the actual situa-

again that this would be the best thing

attention has been called TO the propo-
sition. In fact. it is known that the
subject has been under consideration
for the past several days by the gen
eral manager of the Santa Fe at To-

advantages in the construction of
union depots wherever possible. ad-
