DEMOCRATS MEET 'Mp08mTG4r?fWjV6flf L[MiniNj)Wmc/i Brc'DE ??w rifoiim ^ '"Z. " 'UCh Connnlttec ? i*rtm? ? ? S-r- * Tho Stato Democratic convention met at noon Wednesday with former Qov. John Gary Evans, chalman of tho Slate Democratic committee, In the chair. The bossIoub of the con vention are being hold In the hall of tho House of Representatives, which had been especially arranged for the occasion. As on tho opening day of tho general assembly, Sergeant-at Arms Wilson had marked off the delegations in various parts of the hall, showing where each county's representatives should tako their places. The two United States senators were absent from tho convention. Senator Tillman Indicated several days ago that he could not attend and Tuesday night's dispatches gave as his reason consideration In the Senate of tho agricultural appropria tion bill. No member of tho South Carolina delegation in congress at tended tho convention. Jas. A. Hoyt of Columbia, nominat ed by Christie Benet, was unanimous ly selected temprorary president of tho convention. Mr. Hayt, escorted to tho chair, named M. M. Mann of St. Matthews, R. 11, Sloan and R. E. Carwllo of Columbia as temporary secretaries. The llrBt business before tho con vention was tho calling of tho roll of delegates from the uncontested coun ties. The counties were thon called alphabetically and tho delegates an nounced, substitutions being made whore necesBary when delegates had not come to tho convention. When Charleston county was reached Mayor Graco handed up a roll of delegates. Chairman Hoyt announced ho would not recognize any dolegale from Charleston as tho delegation was contested. This was apparently in response to Mr. Grace'B statement that he was not Bure whether his delegation or the other would be called the contested dele gation from Charleston. Mr. L. J. Williams of Aiken moved that the Georgetown credentials be referred to the committee on creden tials as there were twelve votes with half a vote each. Georgetown coun ty, after years of division, had gotten together at tho recent county conven tion on a sort of compromise plan ?y agreeing to send to the Stato con vention a split delegation, each en titled to a half vote. This question comes before tho credentials com mittee later. At 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon the credentials committee mot to consider '.he Charleston contest and the Georgetown "split" delegation situation. Thomas M.' Raysor of Orangeburg was named chairman of the commit tee on credentials. The Georgetown "split" delegation was seated by the credentials com mittee of the State convention, the 12 delegates being given places in the convention with six votes, but not more than one member is to serve on any one committee. After the appointment of the cre Up.ntlal* committee the convention r?r?ssed until eight o'clock last night. The credentials committee met at three-thirty and began hearing testi mony in the Charleston contest. Both the Barnwoll and Grace representa tives introduced much testimony and submitted many affidavits. The cre dentials commltteo unanimously vot ed to seat the Barnwell delegation after hearing tho testimony. Delegates to tho State convention poured Into Columbia Tuesday and the hotolB became alive with tho hum and bustle of politics. Many politicians not members of the con vention are there also, and little knots and groups constantly congre gate In tho lobbies and discuss tho probablo action which the convention will tako on the all-Important ques tion of reforming the primary. Tho main foaturo of the prollml narlos was tho caucus of thoso favor ing primary reform. Tho caucuB took place in tho big auditorium of the Jefferson Hotel and lastod sev eral hours. The nowspaper men wore not invltod to tho caucus, but it Is known that the matter of primary re form was gone over with. Advocates and opponents of tho Richland plan to rostrlct tho primary to registered voters took part In tho caucus, and various and sundry suggestions as to the most feasible plan wero throshod out. Tho convention was called to order noon Wednesday in tho hall of tho House of Reprosontatlves by John Gary Evans, chairman of tho Stato Democratic exeputlvo commlttoe. Af ter the preliminary organization was perfected the first matter to come up was tho contest from Charleston county, which was sent to the com mittee on credentials. This contest was to be disposed of before tho con vention could form permanent or ganisation and get down to tho work In hand. Neither Gov. Blease, Attorney Gen eral Peoples, Senator John I#. MoLau rin, Mr. C. C. Blmms, Messrs. 8. J. Nichols, C. 0. Wyoho and O. N. flapp a 'ft members of the convention. Mr. B. Frank Kelly of Bishopvllle, Dr. Olin Sawyer of Georgetown, Mr. W. O. Irby Jr. of Laurens, are among the best known of the Blease minority whloh sat in the convention.

Bdgar B'ibank*, the Laurens mill operative rttot by Johd Cunningham al 01 In ton aied Monday In a Utfmi ARMY IS TO STAY UNTIL THE SETTLEMENT OP THE' MEXICAN SITUATION. Reported That Huerta Has Advised His Representatives to Withdraw Him if Necessary. President Wilson Monday told the American commissioners, who left Tuesday for the mediation conference at Niagara Falls, Ont.. that the Unit ed 8tates government regards the set tlement of the Mexican problem In a definite form as a prerequisite to the withdrawal of the American forces from Vera Cruz. The president gave the American commissioners no specific Instruc tions. He told thom to place them selves In a receptive mood and wait proposals from the three South Amer ican mediators. But at the same time he outlined to his representa tives that peace In Mexico seemed to him to bo conditioned on the elimi nation of the Huerta administration and the establishment In its place of a strong provisional government, which would conduct an election giv ing fair treatment to all factions and parties and guaranteeing, moreover, a solution of the agrarian problem and other International difficulties which have caused revolution In the Southern republic during the last throe years. The president wishes tho Mexican question settled on comprehensive lines that will take into account tho economic principles for which Zapata, in tho south, as well as Carranza, In the north, have been fighting, and at the same tlmo will conserve tho right ful Interests of tho people In tho ter ritory now controlled by tho Huerta government. During Monday a dispatch came to ono of the foreign diplomats from a diplomatic source In Mexico City stat ing that Gen. Huerta Was ready to resign and would permit his repre sentatives at tho mediation to elimi nate him if It should become abso lutely necessary. Intimations that havo como from tho three Huerta delegates since their visit to this country showed that they had realiz ed Huerta's elimination was regarded as eseentlal to a setttloment. Tho Huerta delegates, too, It Is learned from persons who havo talked with them, understood thoroughly that tho scope of mediation now comprises the entire Mexican problem. They are said to bo ready to recom mend Huertn's retirement, but only on the condition that a definite un derstanding is reached on the kind of government that Is to follow. Presi dent Wilson, in his final talk with tho American commissioners, nt which Secretary Bryan also was pres ent, spoke hopefully of tho media tion, indicating that every power and legitimate influence at tho disposal of the American government would bo exerted to make It succeed. Although tho rebels liavo not yot agreed to take part In tho mediation, one high administration oflicial held out hopes that tho ultimate participa tion, saving a misunderstanding, which might bo remedied in a short time, was largely responsible for their failure to be represented at Niagara Falls. The president laid before the commissioners the entire Mexican problem as ho saw it, emphasizing that the duty of the United States was to seek unselfishly to assist Mexico to see set up a constitutional govern ment which could bo accorded recog nition by the world. The Huerta delegates have confid ed privately to their friends that In ternational phases of the Mexican question are closely interwoven In tho Internal affairs of their country. ?The mediators have taken a similar position In thoit communication to Gen. Cararnza, sr.yng that Interna tional and Internal questions wero In separable; in fact, they have worked out In a general way a plan which they will submit to all factions. One feature of It became known definite ly. It seeks to eradicate the per plexing agrarian question by prescrib ing a division of lands in a way that will be satisfactory to tho masses, but its details liavo not been reveal ed. Economic questions, however, will not be submitted until a satisfac tory agreement is reached. All the suggestions and plans are to come from tho mediators to the two parties represented at tho nego tiations, and there is high authority for the prediction that when plans reach a tangible form they will bo Bubmlttod to Carranza as well ns those who aro bolioved to havo in fluence with Zapata. Tho president gavo his representa tives autograph letters to presont to tho mediators. Theso lotters refer to tho unofficial character of the rep resentative, and lndloato clearly that final decision on all questions pro pounded so far as the United Statos is concerned will bo mado by tho gov ernment at Washington. Tho mediation conferonco is expect ed to a roach a climax In a short time. The president does not look for pro tracted negotiations, but bollovos be fore many days some definite idea of tho concessions which Qen. lluerta Is roady to make will be obtained. If tho Huerta delegates aro conciliatory and show thomsolvos amenable to tho I planif'proposed by the mediators and acceptable to tho United Htates, an (effort to dra# tho constitutionalists Into the agreemont undoubtedly will bo made by tho American government tho mediation. i In Constitutionalist quarters the talk of a eompromlso arrangement by which Huerta would rely In favor of a neutral person and cabinet who would oonduet an oloctlon and guar antee certain Immediate reforms has not yfet made much of an appeal. Constitutionalist reports say that In another month they will havo sottlod the Mexican question by forcibly tak-j Ing possession of Mexico City. As to mediation, they Insist that the mediators never havo answored Gen. Carransa's last telegram, In which he sought to know tho exact purposes of the mediation before ?ending a representative to Niagara Falls. The last word from the media tore to Carraijta was that, In yliif of hie refusal to suspend hostllltlei.jjjMth Huerta, th*y withdraw fhefr Invitation for.

I Large Crowd on Education, Its Tendencies and Value*? Plead* for Students to Carry Their Ideals Throughout Their life. Ono of the largest audiences that has ever attended commencement ex ercises of a Institution of learning, says The Charleston News and Cour ier, gathered at the Hibernian Hall Tuesday night for the annual formal closing of the College of Charleston, at which the commencement address was delivered by the Hon. Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Nary. Ev ery available seat In the capacious j hall was taken and many stood In the rotunda outside of the door. The addresB by Mr. Danlela made a splen did Impression upon his hearers, as was evidenced by the frequent ap plause with which his address was Interrupted. The secretary gracefully delivered a ringing address, which was punc tuated with applause. In a humorous vein ho made a happy Introduction to the more serious portion of his talk, and putting his audience In higb good humor by his first words. Mr. Daniels Bpoke of the close and friendly feeling that has always ex isted between the States of North Carolina and South Carolina, and de clared that ho, being a native of the old North State, had a great respect and liking for this State and her peo ple. The city of Charleston, he said, wuB to be particularly congratulated on her magnificent historical record and on the brightness of her outlook for the future. Mr. Daniels said that when the de partment issued a call Admiral Helm and his officers at the Charleston navy yard stood ready and preparer! to act at short notice and with the boat results. Ho said that the navy boasted two of its best features at Charleston and Port Royal and that the department was mindful of the excellent results achieved. He made mention of Charleston's superior har bor advantages. He cited the splen did work done by Victor Blue and other South Carolinians for the navy of their country. Mri-Daniels asserted that the schol arship that was not used for the up lift and betterment of the people Is a mere ornament; that' If college men do not take an active part In politics and put thlr talents and accomplish ments to proper account for the pub lic affairs fall into the hands of graft ers and men unfitted to occupy high station. He Btresed the fact that no man had the right to hold office who had not learned first of all to control himself. "I heard a man Bay that he would despise himself If his patriotism was so narrow that he did not love one part of this country as much as any other part. I would he ashamed of my patriotism If I didn't love the piece of land on which I was born more than any other place on earth. Patriotism must begin at home. A man must love his home If he expects his patriotism to broaden. AfTectlon prows by exercise. If you love your homo town you can love your country better, and then you can love your State better, and your love for your State will strengthen your love for your country, and make It possible for It to burgeon into the national spirit that makes ub Americans unde nil circumstances." "So, young gentlemen." said the speaker, "you will go out Into the larger life, and an yo\j enter new neighborhoods and larger cities you will be temptod to feel that the old environments was too narrow and that you must have bigger tasks Put yoto must carry with you Into your now field the same principles nud convictions that guided you In your old home community among people who love God. "I sometimes think that tl.e trou hlo with this country Is that we place too much emphasis on convention ami not enough on conviction. The men who are true to their convic tions are the only men who aro re membered after they have passed nwny. And unless a man Is true to his belief ho doosn't amount to much In his life hero." "Tn every time and In every coun try In the world except ours thero has always been a privileged class, snld the spoakor, but those prlvllegos always carried responsibility ? the doctrine that nobility compels. Paint ing a picture of knighthood he re minded his hearers that the knights did not spend all tholr time on their chargers or about the round table. Kvory true knight, ho said, was rl?jy orously trained for knighthood and tn him was thoroughly Ingrained the doctrlno of noblesse oblige. That doctrine Is Just as compelling now upon the men who have enjoyed op portunities, the noorotary nald, as It was In the days of King Arthur. Provllego always entails obligations and responsibilities. Somo yours ago It seemed as If thero would arise a privileged class [In this country, an aristocracy of wealth, but the mombers wore al ways too few to constitute a largo class, and too many of those hud spent themselves so freely In acquir ing wealth that they did not acquire the sense of noblesse oblige. They had no sense of responsibility and hence could never be looked up to as a nobility. More recently, how evor, such men have come to feel the sense of trusteeship and have given liberally to ameliorate wrongful con ditions. But the only privileged class to-day in America la one that any man may enter, and the key that unlocka the door of that elasa is knowledge. Any man may enter it who masters his studies and uses his knowledge for the uplift of his fel lows.

Report Says Five Thousand Were Defeated b j Villa Who Took Eight Hundred Prisoners. Desperate fighting is in progress before Saltillo, b?lt the wires direct from the front, silent, it is believed, under the order of Gen. Francisco Villa, have brought no details of the engagaments. Whether Villa has fought his way through the outer de fenses of the federal stronghold and is knocking on the gates of Saltllic itself or whether a desperate defense of the positions north of the town have sufficed to check the Constitu tionalist advance, was uncertain from the little news that came through. The only direct information reach ing El Paso, Tex., was In a dispatch from Isldro Fabela, acting minister iOf foreign affairs In the Constitution alist government, which informed the Constitutionalist Junta that Villa had defeatet a force of 5,000 federals at Paredon, inflicting heavy casualties, capturing 8 00 prisoners, and much ammunition and other valuable muni tions of war. Two federal generals were among those said to have been killed. Neither the time nor date of the engagement was specified in Fabela's ! dispatch, which was sent from Du rango. Gen. Carranza and his staff, among whom was Senor Fabola, re turned to Durango lato Tuesday night from Sombrerete, Zacatecas. It Is regarded as possible that the news contained In the dispatch may have been sent in a wiro from tho front some days ago. Tho mention of tho engagement of 5,000 troops at Paredon, 45 miles from the federal base, has proven a puzzle to men who have followed tho campaign closely. The first serious engagement of the campaign was re ported to have occurred near that point Friday when 300 men of tho Zaragonza brigade, under Gen. Raoul Madero, surprised and scattered a federal force of 400. This is the last direct news of the campaign to reach El Paso from the front although other minor skir mishes wore rumored. If the Du rango dispatch Is correct and the en gagement took placo after tho defeat administered to tho federal force by Gen. Madero, It may indlcato that tho federals have advanced in force from Saltillo. KNOCKED OUT GRACE. (Continued from page one.) still had a majority of the delegates In the convention. He said that Mayor Grace had bolted and had re fused to enter the convention and file a protest. Ho thought that tho lat ter course would have been better. In one of the wards, It was charg ed by Mr. Barnwell, the Grace fac tion had changed the meeting place from Hibernian hall and the new meeting place, had not been properly advertised. Mayor Grace submitted affidavits and contended that the meeting had been properly advertis ed. This was Ward 1,'Club 1. There were many counter charges in con nection with thlB meeting. The charges in connection with all of the other wards were reviewed by tho committee. Mr. Barnwell, says The News and Courier account, focused the Ibsuo on the one point that the county con vention did the right thing In stick ing to the prima facie clnb rolls as made up by the county executive committee, and that the Grace fac tion should have remained in the county convention at least until there was a show by tho convention ltBelf that It would give his side no justice, and that without a test there was no way of his knowing that he and li 1h friends would not have gotten a fair deal. If they had not, then and then only should an appeal have been made. Mr. Barnwell and his assistant, Mr. Arthur Young, kept on hammer ing on the point that Mr. Grace had absolutely no right to assume that he and his friends would not have gotten a square deal In tho convon tlbn. It was admitted that on tho prima facie club roll the Barnwell delegates were In a majority, and Mr. Barnwell's Insistence was that the only correct proceeding was to have accopted the prima facie' roll of un contested delegations and referred the contesting delegations to the com mittee on credentials. Ab the Issue was finally settled, It was by the unanimous vote of tho committee that the Barnwell delega tion bo recognized and seated, subse quently confirmed "by the convention Itself.

Navigation In North River, betwee:-. lower New York and Hoboken. stood still Thursday while tho Va'.erland. biggest ship afloat, defied all efforts to dock her, and swept broadside down the stream for more than a mile. When the liner arrived at her pier after her maiden voyage, her great length and a strong ebb tide proved too strong a combination for the fleet of willing little tugs that urged her toward her berth. Tor more than three hours the tugs pull ed and hauled at tho gigantic liner without success. Once b>i e was almost ready to tie up when the tldo gripped her and dragged her out of the slip. Ferry boats and small craft scurried to safety as the levlathlnn floated broad side down the river, with twenty tu>:s circling frantically around. She floated a mile before the tugs got her straightened out, and then sho re turned tinder her own steam. Three thousand persons aboard. Impatient to lr\nd, watched the man oeuvers, without showing anv alarm, although there were moments when the steamer narrowly missed crump ling tho end* of a pier. Tho fourth attempt to dock tho ship proved suc cessful. She is the largest ship In the world, having a tonnage of .IS. 000. She Is 050 feet long and 100 foot beam. Her tonnage Is 5,000 feet greater than that of tho Imperator. Iler forged steel rudder weighs 50.5 tons. Being of tho balanced type, a consid erable part of it extends forward of the rudder post. This style offers a greater steering surface than does tho usual shape, and it is also much more sensitive". The rudder shaft Is nearly three feet through. It is upward of a fifth of a mile (four New York city blocks from) the pilot houso to the big rudder, but It Is very obedient, so obedient, in fact, that tho pressuro of a child's finger on a spoke of the little wheel In tho wheelhouso will make It "mind". Her blades remind one of a windmill. Each of her four pro pellers has a diameter of -19 foot 7 Inches and weighs nearly 1 "> tons. They revolve 1f>0 times a minute. They aro of manganese bronze, forg ed. Her anchor, the biggest on the seas, weighs 11.8 tons. The star board bower weighs 10.5 tons. As in the case of the Imporntor, her hull has been constructed with a wonderfnl inner skin carrlod high above the water lino, making her a vessel within a vessel. She is pro vided with both longitudinal and transverse bulkheads, giving her a cellular construction, and rendering her proof against collisions and sim ilar accidents of the sea. She car ries lifeboats more than sufllrlcnt to accommodate all on board, while her poworful wireless equipment enables the vessel to koep continuously in touch with the land. She is the first steamship ever built with funnels which do not pass directly through the center of the decks. Each of her threa great fun nels divides in the form of the letter "Y" at a point beneath tho lowest passenger deck and joins again in n single tube which risos abovo her uppermost deck. The space occupied by the ordinary funnels passing through tho middle of tho docks is thus clear and there will bo no ob structions in the public cabins. Tho grand dining room of this giant steamship seats 800 persons comfortably. Tho old swivel chalrB fastened to tho deck of the ordinary steamships are dispensed with on the Vaterland and movable chairs aro us ed. In addition to tho dining room, the Vatorland has an elaborato Itlt:'. Carlton restaurant, grill room and palm garden. Tho great social hall is the largest ever built on board a vessel. It is roofed with stained glass and Illuminated by concealed lights. The woodwork throughout I* richly carved, whll tho walls are panelled with raro tapestries and set with statuos. A fully oqulpped stage Is ono of tho leading features of tho social hall. Tho elaborato swimming pool of tho Vaterland and her various elec tric therapeutics and other baths, lend to her the attractions of a great soa or bathing rosort. Tho pool, which reproduces a Iloman bath, ex tends through tlireo docks. It con sists of throo largo rooms, and en trance hall, with hard painted walls and a floor of ornamental mosaics, an ante-chamber roofed with glass,, and tho pool. Tho roof Is supported by ten marblo pillars, and arranged along tho sides aro twenty-eight bath cabins. In connection with tho pool, a barbership and hair dressing parlor havo boon provided for use of the uno or tho passengers. Tho smoking room on tho upper dflck forward Is a luxurious loung ing placo. It has been ^decorated sumptuously with rich pnnolllng and carving. A doop fireplace and several recessed seats nnd cosy corners lend a homelike appearance to tho great room.

Smith said: I "I did this beTitfe tho farmers who sell their cotton are at t'"1 p^tcv j of the hover as to what t-r ado th^'r 'cotton is .and at the mercv o f t,,o i buyer as to the value of each grade] as compared with tho ot'ior ?? -a de.4 With a set of these st-ndai d'/od sam- | pies each farmer who cor? to a mar ket can compare h'^ own cotton vlth . tho sampler furnNhod hv the ??o-.-.-rn-! nmnt and determine what i* rr.de hoi has. Ho can then refer to tho \ '??!>? ! made from the cade t'>at H < ritli'ii | happens to ho. r> n d ?'"tormino if-; ativo value to the other grades, ]M | other word?, this a^pronriaMon villi I furnish him with the same kno - ]edg'> I that every mill man and every huyo- j I ha?. and therefore, put him on an ' I equal foot'ng vith the-n. With thl>:i knowlodco ho should demand the full value of every pr ide of his cotton. "Several yea*s ago a bill w<? pa?=s- i ed hv congress to rtnndardl'e thoi I crades of cotton. When I came to I the Senate I found that these stand I f.rd prados were lyincr very serenely in tho agricultural department. Tho Now Orleans market had adopted : these grades, but had added other ! grnd<*s, both abovo and below. Now ! York had paid no attention to them, j I had an appropriation made to test the relative spinning value of tiiese j j different grades and the result of this j test I have sent broadcast over the ! Stnte. With my amendment, which passed to-day, the legislation is now almost complete, so far as tho cotton ' farmer is concerned. "I promised the farmers of the State when I came to the Senate that i T would attempt to relieve tho b;:r- ! dens of this cotton problem. If the) farmer does not now pet tho full ' value of every grade of his cotton, lw' is alone to blame, for tho knowledge] ir. furnished him. It wan very flat- 1 toring to me and very gratifvinu that the vote in the Senate appropriating this $ 1 on.riOO was more than thr< " to one in favor of it.
