Vote in Election Last Saturday Was All One Way. Tlie vote cast last Saturday In re gard to the matter of changing the form of county government was overwhelmingly In favor of letting matters stand as at present, the ac tual figures being: Against township Commissioners, 155; for township comimssioners, 0; against extra one mill levy, 147; for extra one-mill levy, 8. The Vote hy Townships. Following is the showing made by the returns as received from the va rious townships, and certified to by the county officials: Commissioners. Township- For. Against. Center .- 51 Chattooga. - 52 Keowee .- 12 Pulaski.- 2? Whitewater.- ll Total. - 156 Extra Levy. Township- For. Against. Center. 3 48 Chattooga. 5 4 7 Keowee.- 12 Pulaski.- 29 Whitewater. - ll Total. 8 147 In the three townships of Wage rer, Seneca and Tugaloo no election was held. Total vote cast, 155. N. Phillips, County Supervisor, H. W. Grubbs, County Auditor. While the above showing is by no means a numerically representative vote, still it serves to show very con clusively that the general sentiment is opposed to the change of county government at this time. A major ity of our people, however, we feel sure, favor a change of system, but the time was inopportune, and the proposed change had not the possi bility o? giving the relief that the people desire.

Wo wish to thank the friend who, on a recent visit to (marleston, copied the following epitaph from the grave-stone of a distint ? ished son of Carolina. There are many renders of The Courier who would appreciate a copy: "James Louis Petigru. Horn at Abbeville May 10. 1789; died at Charleston March 9th, 1803. Jurist, orator, statesman, patriot. Future times will hardly know how great ti life this simple stone commemo 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 tho admiration of his peers, in respect of his people, in the affection of his family, his was the highest place-the just meed of bia kindness and forbear ance, his dignity and .simplicity, his brilliant genius and his unwearied industry. Gnawed by opinion, un seduced by flattery, undismayed by disaster, lie 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 Gian their praise, and his country heaped her honors on tho grave of tho pa triot, to whom, living, his own righteous self-respect sufficed alike for motive anti reward."

Washington, April 24.-Dr. Vas quez Gomez, hoad of the confidential agency of the Mexican revolutionists here, to-day received instructions from (len. Francisco I. Madero, Jr., to proceed immediately to Juarez to participate in thc peace parley thero. Dr. Gomez will start In two or three days. El Paso, Texas, April 24.-lt was learned this morning thal If there should be need of a longer period than live days in which to conclude peace in Mexico, tho armistice signed yesterday between Gen. Navarro, of the Federal forces, and Gen. Madero, will be extended from next Friday, when the five days agreed upon ex pires nt noon. Negotiations for peace establish ment had extended just far enough to put each sido In possession of the outlines of the other's demands. Gen. Madero has known nYul 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, a long tele gram was received from the Mexican capital, but no Indication of Its Pori tents leaked out. To Appoint Envoys. The negotiations were at this alano to-day when they wore resumed. Yesterdays experiences demon strated that negotiations by tele graph, with most of tho lines in Mex ico 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 envoys with full power to act. The naming of the envoys, the selection of a meeting place and traveling to it, lt lo thought, will re quire more than the four days re maining of the truce and hence the determination to extend its duration If necessary. A member of the commission to day described tho negotiations as be ing in a very delicate stage, whore an undiplomatic slip might spoil every thing. "Howevor," he added, "wo have gone so far now I am certain that no matter what hitches may oc cur, a basis of peace will be roached." Americans to Quit Madero. Nearly all of the Americans with Madero, feeling that the fighting is over, are preparing to quit tho paths of war for the walks of peace. Many Mexicans, of tho same opinion, have already made tentative applications for work tn 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 arc ambitious to secure work on this sido of tho border. There Is plenty of it for them In the railroad construction camps. Believes Peace will Return. New York, April 25.-President Diaz, of Mexico, has addressed tho 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 tion in this country, 1 nm convinced that conditions of pence, interrupted for .the moment, will return to Mex ico, and that all Mexicans will unite with the single purpose of further ing the development and progress of the country.
