faction of the insurrectos and the Diaz
-government in -Mexico —co-operating
to end the revolution —were taken to
day.
AA’hi-le the belief is strong in El Paso
and Juarez that a peace pact will re

this treaty will go toward ending -hos

d-ero is not sanguine that a peace pact
between -his faction and the Mexican
government will effect a cessation of
hostilities in Central and Southern
Mexico.
In view of the menacing movements
of the rebels toward Mexico City, the
Diaz peace commissioners have -been
a(><i to hasten their negotiations in
the hope that a treaty would have a
racral effect on the insurrectos, -not
actually bound to General Aladero.

Diaz commission, announced that he
was ready to begin negotiations at

! colony of South Carolinians, who have
invested in farming lands-here, is still
the Mecca of other investors seeking
I homes in this -land of promise—ana
pay. Not only do the Carolinians flock
|to Sumlter, but are buying in other
(South Georgia counties as well. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have
been invested in this section in re
cent months, and the golden stream
l i-s still flowing. During the past week
I South Carolinians bought a farm in
I (Sumter county for $19,200; a plant a
tion in Terrell county for $30,000, and
(wo farms in Houston county for $32,-
000 and $23,175 respectively. In addi
tion to those actual sales, one hundred I
thousand dollars was offered by a
South Carolinian for one of the finest
farms in Sumter, a splendid tract a
few miles out of Americus, but the
tempting offer was declined by the
owner. The purchase money was in
readiness to be paid over, -but even
SIOO,OOO was not enough for this model
Sumter county plantation, and the deal
was not consummated.
