Vic- ! toriano Huerta tacitly refused anight j to accede to the demands of the i United States expressed in an ultima- j turn, sent to him by President Wilson's personal representative, John Lind. Gen. Huerta eariy today was notified that unless he returned an answer at 6 o'clock this evening to the effect that he would prevent the newly elected congress from convening - and, furthermore, make this action -vn.n fi-, momhorc- rvf thp fHnlfl ^ ALLU V> II LU t'll^ luv/iuvvA^ v*. WMV x?>^ matic corps by mif*i\ight, the United States would have no further parleying with the Mexican government. Mr. Lind waited until 6 o'clock and received no answer. He then made arrangements for his departure on the train leaving for Vera Cruz at 8 o'clock. It was announced, however, ^ that Gen. Huerta had one more' & chance?(that if he took the action dej manded by midnight the fact that he I failed to reply to Mr. Lind within the L time specified wouM be overlooked, ft Mr. Lind could see ^o good reason to p suppose that Hueria intended to ac| cede. O'Shauerhnessy Delivers It. Nelson O'Shaugnessy, the charge d'affaires, was the messenger who de i. TT. iiverea tne ultimatum. ne was uuauic to get into personal +ouch with Gen. Huerta, but left the message at the president's office." It was intimatd tonight at the palV ace that Gen. Huerta had not received ] the note in time to give it full consideration. This, however, did not appear to Mr. Lind a valid excuse for procrastination. The prevention of the convening of congress has been one of the essential points in the negotiations con ducted by Mr. Lind; this for two reasons?first, it was Relieved that the A new congress would lose no time in f passing measures having to do with the oil concessions, and, second, because the convening of congress would give an air of legality to Huerta's government. A Tense Day. Not since the recent revolution began has the feeling in the Mexican ^capital been as tense as it was today. The most categorical denials by the P American charge. Nelson O'Shaughr nessy, and Mr. Lind of knowledge of L any development on which this feel* ing could be based, helped to disabuse the minds of some people that the next 24 hours would see a decisive move on the part of Washington.

Many Rumor's Ourmt, All sorts of rumors were current Many persons, who were contemplating leaving the country in the near future, made hurried prepara tions and caught the night train to ^/Vera Ctuz, preferring to wait there! | until they can procure stteamer accommoda :ions to remaining in the !

The uneasiness was accentuated through the receipt by several persons of messages from relatives and f friends in the United States urging their immediate departure from MexiI CO. * " Evans-Bi'ooKer.

The brilliant scene was complete with 'ts softly shaded lights and exquisitely gowned guests. The color scheme of ; green and \vh;;te was used through- j i out the drawing rooms, with tall vases j of huge white chrysanthemums. The j dining room was a scene of loveli- j ness with its decorations of pink and | green, having baskets tied with bows j of pink satin ribbon and lall vases or Killarney roses e.s its chief color effects. The altar of palms, huge ferns, and white chrysanthemums, made a | splendid bridal setting in the South j i drawing room. A white passageway ! was made from the upper landing of i the stairs to this, upon which the ! bridal party approached the alr.ar. | The Rev. W. P.

Rembert made nis Jast ! political speech when he announced ! his candidacy for governor May 5 of this year. I Knowing his ill-health, and with re- ; gard for the unforeseen, he qualified i his announcement with the statement -that "unless something unforeseen happens, I shall be in the race for governor next year." What possibly was then unexpected by him so soon has occurred, the unforeseen has happened, and George R. Rembert will not make the race for governor. To be the duly qualified governor of South Carolina was the height of his ambition, as he was frank to state to his intimate personal and political ! friends. Mr. Rembert's announcement of his candidacy, made to the public on the mornins: of May 5. is as follows. "I consider it rather too soon to ! make a definite announcement, but' my friends from all over the State' have urged me to let them know what j I intend to do; therefore, I will say; that unless something rnfore?een j tionnQiio 1 chall ho in the ; fnr ! k A C*. ?J f-r xi-o, 1 UIIMU MV AAi V"V/ ^ 1 governor next year.

Reform on Taxes. "I shall fight as I have fought in the legislature for a reform in our j tax system. We have about the most j inequitable system in the United States.

The beautiful Indian summer we have been enjoying for several weeks recalls the old discusion as to what is, and whence derived, the term. According to the best authorities the expression, Indian summer, does not occur- anywnere in print or manuscript prior to the year 1794, but that at that time it was in use throughout the Atlantic States of America. Tiie prevalent belief that it had its ori gin among tne maians 01 America does not seem to be verified by any investigations along that line. Neither this term nor anything correspond- , ing to it has been found in any In- j dian language. The term, it is said, Was introduced into England from ' America. The same kind of weather is found j in Germany, where it is called "Old - - ~ ..... i Woman's Summer," ana "saint jLUKe g Summer," and in England it is known j as "Saint Martin's Summer," or "All 1 Hallow Summer." Similar weather is said to be found in China and Siam. Indian summer is a short season in October or November in the Atlantic States characterized by an almost cloudless sky, calm and light airs, a hazy atmosphere, mild temperature in day time and a little cool at night. 1 The barometer stands above normal. Leaves and most plants dry away, and turn to a reddish brown tint. Such flowers as bloom are of the golden hue. All nature seems to be prepar- ! ing for the winter's sleep. The Indian summer is perhaps tin most glorious of all the year. The Komance of Mafeng Money. In the November American Maga- ! zine E. Albert Apple writes a stotry ' entitled ^Andy Reagan Successful j Failure," in which he makes the fol- i lowing comment on the romance of making money: "Year by year, the romance of mak- j mg money in America is creeping farther west. Already it has crossed the Mississippi, and wealth-corrallng ! in the East is a coldly analytical game j of cost system, efficiency experts, ad- j vertising campaigns, and the charts of ' business forecasts.

Oci URGE M'LAUKIN TO RECONSIDER. Senator McLaurin is Congratulated If? x i . __ m?i? on ms nepij 10 ^enaior 1111iuau. Columbia, Nov. 7.?That certain elements of the Administration supporters, hitherto uncompromising j opponents or any suggestion looking , putting up Senator -Tonn L.

O *17 I i epi v iu ocuaiui Aiiixiia.ix aiiu aic iiu ? urging the Marlboro senator to enter che race is known. Information received in Columbia j from Spartanburg is to the effect that | yesterday several telegrams went from Blease leaders there to Senator McLaurin congratulating him on his ! reply to Senator Tillman and urging him to come out for Governor. They told the Senator in their telegrams j that the.people would back him, they j speaking, of course, of their own j political vews. Senator McLaurin retired from the race after the chilly reception his candidacy met with at the hands of :he 1 Blease conference, held here during. Fair week, but it would not surprise 'those in touch with affairs if the Senator would reconsider and re-enter the race. If he comes back in and the J Blease organization would swing! around to him it will add confusion to the already chaotic outlook in next year's gubernatorial race. Friends of Major John G. Richards, Jr., the chairman of *.he railroad com- I mission, and candidate for Governor, profess to feel confident at the way matters are developing in the race for Governor and state that they believe' Major Richards is gathering strength. This same view is taken by practically all of the candidates and the field is still open for guess and speculation.

"Pit Hole, the world's first oil town, ' where twenty thousand boomers built a mushroom city, of which nothing remains today but tradition and one house; Coal Oil Johnny, the first great get-rich-quick, plunger, and spendthrift; and Pipe Line Dan O'Day, who ran the first pipe lines through the country; all these have been taken j from him. The individual producer i has been nearly blotted out by Stand- ! ard Oil. Oil is a corporation proposition; and the only person who sees romance around a corporation is the stenographer." Newspaper Fating, Much interest will be felt among newspaper men in the announcement of a "bureau of accuracy and fair j play," inaugurated by a New York newspaper. The purpose of this department is to check carelessness, avoid needless libel suits, to promote fair play, and stamp out fakes and fakers. | The public sometimes laughs at the smaller newspapers as collections of curbstone gossip, and looks with a certain awe at great metropolitan i journals with their enormous cir-1, culations as institutions dealing with | j great national issues on which a high 1 ] standard of accuracy and truth tell- ! j ing is required. In actual practice the situation is reversed. The smaller papers, those j that are close to a small city or vil- 1 lage constituency, are held down very rigidly to high standards of ac- ! curate reporting. If some ones initial is printed wrong, they will hear i about it next day. The most offhand remark is often accepted as con-1 taining deep and poisonous innuendo, j, On the other hand, even the best1 of the big metropolitan papers print: news on mere hearsay, affecting the most important and delicate interests of business and government. The next day the whole thing is riddled by the people who know about j it, error is admitted, and every" one forgets about the incident except :hose who are injured. The smaller city daily and the country weekly realize fully the folly of all this. It sells papers for the moment,' but produces a hornet's nest for the ; next day. In the long run it hurts newspaper circulation and disgus.s j the public. It places irritations and i obstacles in the way of the true newspaper man who is working every minute to find the truth and give it to the public. The New York newspaper has taken a step in the right direction in establishing a bureau of accuracy that might with many good results be emulated by some newspapers in most all the large cities of the country and one here and there in : the smaller communities. Sensational ' journalism with red ink attachment encompasses a multitude of sins that in the Inng run will not be tolerated : by a disci imjnating public. Silk Hose Sliower.
