ADOPTS RULES DE SIGNED TO STOP FRAUDS. * A CITY 9N THE WAVES 0 Crowfla Watch Arrival in New York of the Latest Queen of the Sea ! Is Claimed to be Accident Proof Bat the Fate of the Titanic Hangs like a Ghost Over its Safety. Navigation In North River, between lower New York and Hoboken, stood still Thursday while' the Va'.erland, biggest ship atloat, 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. For more than three hours the tugs pull ed and hauled at the gigantic liner without success. Once si.e was almost ready to tie up when the tide gripped her and dragged her out of the slip. Ferry boats and small craft scurried to safety as the leviathlan floated broad side down the river, with twenty tugs circling frantically around. She floated a mile before the tugs got her straightened out, and then she re turned under her own steam. Three thousand persons aboard. Impatient to land, watched the man- oeuvers, without showing any alarm, although there were moments when the steamer narrowly missed crump ling the end of a pier. The fourth attempt to dock the ship proved suc cessful. She is the largest ship in the world, having a tonnage of 58,000. She is 950 feet long and 100 feet beam. Her tonnage*, is 5,000 feet greater than that of the Imperator. Her forged steel rudder weighs 50.5 tons. Being of the balanced type, a consid erable part of it extends forward of the rudder posft This style offers a greater steering surface than does the usual shape, and U is also much more sensitive". The rudder shaft is •early three feet through. It is upward of a fifth of a mile (four New York city blocks from) : the pilot house to the big rudder, but it is very obedient, so obedient, in fact, that the pressure of a child’s finger on a spoke of the little wheel in the wheelhouse will make it '*mlnd". Her blades remind one of a windmilL Each of her four pro pellers has a diameter of -19 feet 7 Inches and weighs nearly 15 tons. They revolve 1 fin Httim a. mlmitq, They are 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 Imperator, her hull has been constructed with a wonderful inner skin carried high 'above the water line, 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 sufficient to accommodate all on board, while her powerful wireless equipment enables the vessel to keep 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 o^her three great fun nels divides in the form of the letter "Y" at a point beneath the lowest passenger deck and Joins again in a single tube which rises above her uppermost deck. The space occupied by the ordinary funnels passing through the middle of the decks is thus clear and there will be no ob structions in the public cabins. The grand dining room of this giant steamship seats 800 persons comfortably. The old swivel chairs fastened to the deck of the ordinary steamships are dispensed with on the Vaterland and movable chairs are us ed. In addition to the dining room, the Vaterland has an elaborate Ritz- Carlton restaurant, grill room and palm garden. The 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 Is richly carved, whil the walls are panelled with rare tapestries and is set with statues. A fully equipped stage is one of the leading features of the social hall. The elaborate- swimming pool of the Vaterland and her various elec tric therapeutics and other baths, lend to her the attractions of a great sea or bathing resort. The pool, which reproduces a Roman bath, ex tends through three decks. It con sists of three large rooms,-and en trance hall, with hard painted walls and a floor of ornamental mosaics, an ante-chamber roofed with glass, and the pool. The roof is supported by ten marble pillars, and arranged a{es g-theL-sl<le» ere-twenty^lgbt-bath- eabins. In connection with the peel, a barbership and hair dressing parlor have been provided for use of the use of the passengers. , The smoking room on the upper Would be Governors Are to Begin Action in Sumter-—.Senatorial Can dida tee at St. Matthews. The county-to-county canvass for United States Senator will open’ at St. Matthews on June 17, and the canvass for Governor and other State officials at Snmter on the same day, this action being decided on by the State Democratic executive committee at a meeting late Thursday afternoon following the adjournment of the con vention at Columbia. The Itinerary of the two campaigns will be arranged by a sub-committee, of which Gen. Wllle Jone, of Colum bia, is chairman. Pledges for all State offleals and the candidates for United States Senate must be field with the State chairman before noon of June 16. The assessment of can didates for United States senator was fixed at $300, of candidates for con gress 1^50, for governor $100, for railroad commissioner $75 and for all other State offices and solicitors .$50 each. The candidates for United States senator have a separate campaign itinerary from that of governor and the other State officials, this being provided by the rules. The only en trants so far in the Senate race are United States Senator E. D. Smith, who is seeking re-election, and Gov. Cole L. Blease. Nearly the full membership of the State committee was present, Chair man John Gary Evans presiding. Gov. Evans was re-elected State chairman by the convention Thurs day afternoon by acclamation. Mr. Christie Benet of Columbia, was re elected treasurer. The committee ad journed subject to the call of the chairman. ‘ MAJBIIITYf AS OVER 200 By Veto ef MS te 50 Party Roles Are Changed Requiring Two Yews Residence In the State, Six Months* in the Connty and Sixty Days In the Clnb District. LADY BREAKS NECK. Aiken Woman Jumps From Runaway Boggy With Fatal Results. Jumping from a buggy when the horse her husband was driving early Thursday afternoon became frighten ed and ran away, Mrs. Lonnie Redd, who Uvea near Aiken, was Instantly killed. Her head struck the ground and her neck was broken. Mrs. Redd had been to Aiken" with her husband and when their shopping was done they atarted to return home. Just below the city they passed friend in another vnggy and playful ly'Mr. Redd struck at him with the buggy whip. ^ Mr. Redd’a horse be came frightened at the awlah of the whip and started to run. Mr. Redd was nnable to control the animal for the reason that the bridle bits broke I^e told Mrs. Redd to Jump, and aa she did so she was thrown heavily to the ground. Death waa instaneous. ing place. It has been decorated sumptuously with rich panelling and carving. A deep fireplace and several recessed seats and cosy corners lend a homelike appearance to the great room. Writing rooms for men open Into the smoking room. The state rooms are commodious and the equip ment of each is exceptionally com plete. In every stateroom artistic bedsteads replace the berth common to most steamships. Each room is provided with a marble washstand with hot and cold water. The ar rangements for light and air are ex ceptionally complete. The suites vary from two to twelve rooms, all furnished In a variety of decorative styles »and color schemes to satisfy the most aesthetic taste. Nearly all the suites have private bathrooms and the other baths are so distributed as to be convenient to every stateroom. The more elaborate of these suites, known as the Impe rial suites, include bedrooms, suitting room, breakfast room, two baths, ser vants’ room and private deck. One of the most Important innova tions in the equipment of the Vater land is the fire department, compos ed of experienced fire fighters, re cruited fro mthe fire department of German cities. A large cabin, cen trally located, has been set aside as the fire headquarters, and here are the various signalling devices and in dicators, running to all parts of the steamship. The special equipment includes & chemical fire engine, smoke helmets and other fire appara tus. The firemen patrol the Vater land day and night. Another feature Is the automatic sprinkling apparatus with which the steamship has been equipped. The steerage passengers on the Vaterland are assured of greater com fort than was enjoyed by the passen gers of a first class steamships a gen eration ago. They occupy separate rooms for from two to six persons, instead of the dormitories formerly in use. , Sweeping in the changes In the rales and constitution to safeguard and reform the prhn^jfy'flections were passed by the State Democratic convention, which adjourned sine die late Thursday afternoon, after a se slon lasting two days. The convention worked steadily throughont the day and all during the afternoon, refusing to recess for dinner. The_ determination of the convention to carry through the re port of the overwhelming majority of the committee on constitution and rules was shown in the steady man ner which it proceeded to reject amendments after amendments which were rained in following the tabling of the minority report of the committee. The main fight of the minority was made on the report of the major ity of the committee, which called for personal enrollment, and providing for a residence of two years in the State, six months in the county and sixty days in the voting precinct aa qualifications to establish residence before being eligible to participate in the primaries. Strenuous efforts of the minority to knock out the personal enrollment were unsuccessful, as heavy majori- tles were recorded time and again in favor of the majority report. All amendment by Senator Clifton, al lowing the voter to enroll by either applying to the secretary of his clnb in person or on written application, signed by a' witness, waa rejected by a vote of 256 to 55. It waa notable that not a single speech yaa made In the convention In favor of leaving, the rales of the party to stand as adopted In 1$12. The questiona raised were simply what changes should be made to safe guard primary elections effectively. There was a sharp division be tween the reports of the majority and minority of the committee on constitution and rules, the latter In sisting on briefer terms ef residence in State and county as one qualifi-^ cation for voting and opposing the rule presented that voters should sign the club rolls in persons. Despite the- terrific onslaughts made by a small minority the Demo cratic State convention voted down the minority report of tho committee on constitution and rules, which which would eliminate the personal enrollment of voters for the primary and cutting down the residence nec essary for qualification from two years to one year in the State, and from one year ta six months in the county, which was lated adopted as an amendment to the majority report. The overwhelming vote, 268 to 50, came on the motion of T. M. Raysor to table the minority report, and the amendment offered by Senator Clif ton. TMe vote’ by counties follows, the ayes favoring the majority report, which-called for personal enrollment and the residence in the State two years, county six months and polling precinct thirty days: Ayes.

If a negro, applicant must have voted for Hamp- toe In 1876. \ Applicants for enrollment la a Democratic club shall present them selves in person before the secretary 'and sign therroll or make their mark, if they are unable to write, giving their age, occupation and poet office address, or their.street number where such designations exist in the clnb district where they reside. The county committee ihall furnish suit able and uniform books of enroll ment to the secretaries, such books to he provided by the State committee. The clnb rolls shall be closed on the second Tuesday in July of each elec tion year. Secretaries of clubs shall file the rolls, properly certified, with copies, with the clerks of courts of the various counties, where they shall be open for Inspection. County com mittees shall purge the rolls, giving due notice by mail to all citizens the legality of whose enrollmen is ques tioned. State committee shall arrange for two separate campaign meetings In each connty, one to be addressed by candidates for State offices and the other by candidates for United States senator. Chairmen of county committees In the same congressional districts and judicial circuits shall arrange for sep arate meetings for candidates for congress and solicitor. Polls are to remain open on elec tion day from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m., ex cept in Charleston, where they shall remain open from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. All existing club rolls are declar ed null and void, as a, special provi sion Mr 1914. This will require a new enrollment of all Democrats for the 1914 primary on the last Tuesday in August. Special Roles for Charleston. Special provisions and stringent regulations were mads for Charles ton to guard against-any possibility of fraud or irregularity. The Char leston regulations call for the hooks to be closed sixty days before the first primary and be filed with the clerk of court. In Charleston books of enrollment are to open on the third Thursday in May, and each applicant to enroll mast first sign an applica tion blank properly witnessed, which sets forth that he is a citizen of the United States and has resided In Charleston one year, giving residence and street number, age and height The secretary of each club Is to en ter the name of the applicant on the club roll withlif forty-eight hours after he applied, provided he is sat isfied the application is boua fide and the signature Is genuine. If the sec retary is satisfied the applcant is not regular he shall forward the applica tion to the county committee, who shall publish the list of such appli cants with witnesses and set a fixed hour for them to appear and show cause why they should be enrolled Names which the executive committee decide should be enrolled are to be sent back, to the secretaries of the clubs for this purpose. Ample opportunity must be given by »the executive, committee within the sixty days for the hearing of pro tests of4hoes not entitled to vote in the primary. JThe names complained of the witness'!to the application and the party complaining shall all be printed in a daily newspaper of the city, which must not be within three days of the hearing. The power Is given to use the Aus tralian secret ballot within the city of Charleston If the county committee deems It advisable. This is thought to be an almost absolute safeguard against any possible irregularities, and if the committee deems it advis able to use the Australian ballot in the city to insure an honest and fair election they can do so under the new rules adopted. Another feature of the new rules calls for a voter to place bis name only on one club and that at w iich he For 8al^—Ear corn at $1 per bushel. J. K: Mayfield, Denmark, 8,'C.
