Huerta Accepts Mediation.-Gen

Huerta Accepts Mediation.-Gen-
eral Huerta last night accepted the
proposal that there be no further
hostilities between the United States
and Mexico pending the efforts of the
ENJOYS of Argentina. Brazil and Chile
to bring an amicable settlement Of
difficulties between the countries.
This was announced, says a Wash
ington dispatch, by Secretary Bryan,
after he had been in conference for
two hours with the South American
diplomats at the Argentina Legation.
At the same time Mr.. Bryan said he
already formally had notified the
mediators that the American gov
ernment took it for granted that
there would be no hostilities during
the mediation proceedings and had
intended no further acts of aggres-
sion while the conferences were be-
ing held" With these replies before
them, the ENJOYS were prepared to go
as the United States and Huerta gov
ernment are concerned. No word had
come from General CarranZa, how
ever, concerning a proposed armistice
between the Constitutionalists and
Federals in Mexico. On the rebel
chiefs answer depends largely the
plans of the mediators for undertake
ing a peaceful settlement of the Mex
lean problem, internal strife as well
as differences between the United
States and the Huerta government.
News from Mexico that General
CarranZa and General Villa were
pushing ahead their southwark move
ment and preparing for a general at
tack on Tampico threw q damper up
on hopes for peace between the war
ring Mexican factions.
Secretary Bryan left the legation
shortly before midnight and the three
mediators continued their conference.

Among the Yorkville homes that
would be open to summer boarders,
are many that are equal in every re-
spect to the best that are to be found
in the larger summer resort towns and
cities, and we believe that there are
thousands of good people in Charles
ton, Savannah, Jacksonville, Augusta,
New Orleans and other southern
points as we'll as many northerners
who would be glad indeed to come to
this place to spend their summers II
they only had a fair idea of what
they would find here at reasonable
cost
But Yorkville will never become a
we'll patronized summer resort, as the
result Of ordinary local talk, nor will
1t develop very much along that line
even as the result Of casual mention in
railroad time table folders or hotel di-
rectories Other places have not been
able to build up summer patronage in
that way, and neither will Yorkville.
II 1t is really desired to get sum-
mer boarders for this place. it will be
necessary to go into the matter in a
business like way. AS the first move
in that direction. there should be con-
certed action on the part Of all the
people most directly interested. Every
boarding house proprietor, and every
householder who desires to keep board
ers should go about getting together
in concentration Of effort. Each and
every one should submit to assessment
for advertising and amusement pur-
poses, put their interests in proper
hands, and see to it that the accom-
modations they have to offer are made
known to the people who seek those
accommodations.
Judicious advertising in the Char
lesion, Savannah, Augusta, Jackson
vile and Columbia papers will pay
and this may be backed up by folders
giving information about the town and
vicinity, the people who offer accom-
modations and the rates at which ac-
cOmmodations are to be had.
And 1t is just as well for the people
who are interested or who think they
are interested to get 1t into their heads
that the whole proposition involves
nothing but business. To get the de-
sired information to the people in
wolves dollars and cents intelligently
used, and those dollars and cents must
be furnished by the people who expect
to take care of the boarders.
It is not to be understood, Of course.
that the boarding house people are the
only ones to be benefited by the COM
ing Of summer boarders. Among the
people who spend their summers
away from home are thousands Of
folks of wealth and energy, who are
not content to sleep away even their
vacations. Get people to coming here
and among them will be those who see
opportunities our own people do not
see, and who will develop those oppor-
tunities. They will help the town in
many ways, just as they have helped
other towns.

SUMMER BOARDERS

There has been talk from time to
time of the advantages Of the town Of
Yorkville as a summer resort. and the
subject is again under considerations
but as heretofore the activities in that
direction are still confined to talk,
That Yorkville has many advan-
tages over numerous towns that en-
tertain many summer boarders, there
is no question, For one thing the
town has very fair elevation. very
nearly 500 feet. 1t has good water,
fresh air. highly cultured and refin-
ed population, and Is surrounded by u
splendid farming country, peopled by
as good folks az are to be found In the
town Itself or anywhere else. Social
conditions generally rank high, and
there are plenty Of churches presided
over by pastors who measure up to
every reasonable requirement.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION

AS to whether there will be any fric-
ton in the county Democratic conven-
ton next Monday, remains to be seen.
One can never tell beforehand. But II
there is friction. it will be the first for
number Of years.
The usual procedure is the calling
Of the convention to order by the
chairman, w. w. Lewis, ESQ.,, of York
Vile, now holding this office. and after
that the next step Ii to effect tenn
porary organization by the election of
a temporary chairman and f. tempor-
ary secretary.
The election Of temporary officers is
usually followed by the appointment of
a committee on credentials consisting
Of one member from each club, and
this committee Is always appointed
without friction unless there are con-
testing delegations and in that event,
both sets Of delegates are showed aside
until the credentials committee can
report on their respective claims.

Yaquis Will Fight With United
States.-Infiuenced by generous treat
ment they had received from Ameri-
cans in Mexico, 1,400 Yaqui Indians,
who recently deserted the rebels near
Guaymas and took to the hills, on
Wednesday sent a courier to the Unit
ed States troops at Nogales, Arizona
with message saying the Yaqui
tribe 'is ready to join the American
soldiers"
A careful hearing Of the message
brought by the courier and an inquiry
as to the condition Of the Yaquis fol-
lowed the arrival Of the courier.
"All Yaqui tribes ready to join pale
face" was the laconic statement Of the
Indian who had Stunned the railroad
and reached the border after days Of
walking over the desert hills. The
messenger said the Indians had de-
serted the rebels as soon as news
reached them Of the taking Of Vera
Cruz by the American marines. He
said many more than 1,400 were
waiting for the Americans to come"
With their bows and long arrows the
Yaquis always have been an important
factor in Mexican revolutions. They
are reputed to be fearless and usually
spread terror among those against
whom they are arrayed. Their being
armed recently with modern arms
robbed them of some Of their pictur-
esque aspects.

stewardship of the Southern railway,
Besides the people Of my state are
directly interested in getting cheap
coal for fuel, both for consumption In
their homes and to run their fac
tories with; and as the Southern rail-
way penetrates the coal fields, it
ought to serve our people by bringing
us cheap coal; but it is not allowed to
do so because it is not managed for
the interests of the stockholders.
If coal is shipped to Norfolk, 1t can
not go TO New York at all, or any IN
termediate port or point. There Is no
free trade in coal within the area
embracing the states Of New York
Pennsylvania. New Jersey, Delaware
and Maryland, nor in the South AL,
lantic states, and the navy and naval
stations on the Atlantic coast are
completely at the mercy Of the coal
trust. both as to the supply and the
price of their COAL

Roosevelt's Explorers.-Col. Roose

Roosevelt's ExpIorers.-Col. Roose-
Welt and Kermit have arrived safely
in Manaos, Brazil, according to a
brief cablegram received by Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Jr., at his office in
New York, yesterday. The message
made no mention of the other mem
bers of the exploring party, but stat
ed that the trio was unusually sue
cessful Mr.. Roosevelt declined to give
out the text of the message. He said
he expected further word from his
father.
The announcement from Rio Jani-
ro that the colonel had discovered a
new tribe of Indians in the wilds OF
Brazil, had been repudiated by scien-
fists, according to astrological au-
thorities of the American museum
of natural history. Charles w. Meade
assistant curator Of the department
Of anthropology, said it was not sur
prising in view Of the fact that only
about one-fourth Of the entire terri
tory from northern Argentine and the
Caribbean sea has been explored. II
Is believed that fully 500 different
dialects are spoken in that vast area.

went on with the Psalm as II nothing

the standpipe. The new court house
will abut against the law range struc-

There are no contests in this county
so far as The Enquirer has informa-
ton, and consequently there will be no
friction or delay in completing the
temporary organization.
Upon the report Of the committee on
credentials which report will be
adopted, the next step will be the cleo
ton Of permanent chairman and sec
retary of the convention. Those off,
GERS, especially the chairman, when
there is division, are very important;
but their service is confined solely to
the routine proceedings Of the day.
Usually the first item Of business
after the organization is the election
Of delegates to the state convention
two delegates for each Of the county's
representatives in the general assem-
bly,. There is no fixed rule Of proceed
ure in the selection Of delegates, but
as a common thing there is a motion
for the appointment by the chair for
committee on nominations. The chair
according to circumstances appoints
this committee at random, or names
men previously agreed upon in eau
Gus, one from each township-and the
committee on returning, reports back
ten nominees-two from each town.
ship and one at large, also previously
agreed upon in caucus This report is
accepted or not, according to the re-
lative strength Of the opposing inter-
ests in the convention. II there is no
opposition the nominees are elected.
Otherwise there are nominations from
the floor either Of complete ticket or
of individual candidates and a major
ity of the delegates voting determine
who shall and who shall not be elect
ed.
The convention also selects a county
chairman. who is chairman Of the
executive committee. 1t also elects a
member Of the state executive COM
mittee. Usually these officials are
nominated from the floor and elected
by ballot.
Such resolutions as members desire
to offer come up usually after the
election of delegates to the state con-
vention; but there Is no fixed order for
new business, which may be consider
ed at any time the chairman is willing
to recognize a motion after the per-
manent organization.
After the adjournment Of the con-
vention, the new executive committee
takes charge and manages the routine
of the campaign. Among other things
the executive committee arranges a
schedule of assessments for the vari-
Gus candidates, fixes the itinerary Of
the county campaign, takes the pledges
of the candidates, provides ballots and
appoints managers for the primary
election. The custom heretofore has
been for each executive committee
man to appoint the manager at his
own precinct.

Death Of Mr.. w. p. Good.

Columbia special Of April 20, to
the News and Courier: In my opin-
ion divorced people are not legally ca
pacitated to marry in South Carolina
and If license were to be issued the
marriage would be bigamous and
void" said Attorney General Peoples
in a letter to Judge Of Probate w. w.
Johnson Of Union county. Mr., John
son had written the attorney general
that these questions some times came
up for decision by him through people
applying for marriage licenses. He
wanted to know if people who had
been divorced in other states applied
for marriage licenses in South Caro-
lima could be granted such. The Union
official also asked If a couple were di-
vorced In some other state and one
party was given the right to remarry
and the other not, II the latter could
get a license to marry In South Caro-
lima. To all Of these questions the at
torney general answers mo" South
Carolina does not allow divorces to be
granted In this state under the Con-
stitution, and 1t has been clearly decid-
ed In the case Of McCreery vs.. Davis
"A 8. C.,-195. that this state will not
recognize divorces granted In other
states" says the attorney general.

The Coming Out of Candidates.-Ir

the Piedmont's conception, the ideal
candidate is the man who takes a
deep and intelligent interest in public
affairs and. without urging, Is willing
to make sacrifices in order to serve
the state, hoping by good service to
win applause and reputation. No man
Is worth sending to the legislature
who can go there without it's being
more or less of a sacrifice for him to
do 80. We have never been much i'm
pressed with the quality of service
rendered by the good man who has to
be begged to make the sacrifice neces-
sary to his service in the legislature.
His heart is seldom in the work. 1t
is generally back home with the in
terests he feels he Is neglecting.
Again. he gets an exaggerated idea OF
his own Importance, which is the

If the Mexicans are really going or

full confidence in the integrity of the
officers of the United States army
That such confidence is fully warrant

the matter is that the Mexicans
should also understand it. 1t is quite

columns of The Enquirer for political

If we should do away with the count,

If we should do away with the county
to county campaign meetings it would
would be only a short time until we
got back to the convention plan OF
making nominations. There are those
who claim that the convention plar
gives us better men," In the oninior
of The Enquirer that is not true. Un-
der the convention plan there always
develops shrewd manipulators who fol
a time become invincibles and who
treat the people with contempt be-
cause they have no way Of helping
themselves. Under the primary plan
every nominee becomes the servant OF
the people. He may or may not be
the right man in the right place; but
if he is not the right man, the people
eventually find him out.
