RULES FOR ENROLLMENT 1 McMAHAN STRESSES CERTAIN POINTS OF IMPORTANCE. Secretaries Who Would Be "OMig- s v ing" Are Recommended to v C Read Rules Carefully. A 1 John J. McMahan has given out t the following interview in regard to I ( the new rules of the Democratic party j t governing enrollment for the pri- j maries: iT \ "The new rules of the Democratic < party prescribe as follows: 'Books of ( enrollment for voting in primary elec- . tions shall be opened by the secretary of each club or by the enrollment v committee as hereinafter provided on or before me second Tuesday in ^ June. ? " 'Each applicant for enrollment s shall in person write upon the club ( roll his full name and immediately thereafter his age, occupation and postoffice address, and if in a city or t town shall write the name of the ( street and the number of the house in whiQh he resides, if such designa- , tion exists in said city or town. t " 'If the name be illegible the sec- t retary 6hall write the name beneath j the signature of the applicant. ( " 'In the event of the inability of ( the applicant to write, he may make t whifh shall His mars uyuu iuc .. be witnessed by the secretary or other j person then having the custody there- , of, and the secretary shall fill in the t other requirements t " 'That the county committee shall t appoint for each club an en- u rollment committee of three, which t T may consist of the secretary and j county committeeman from the said j club and a third member to be des- f ignated by the county committee, by whom such enrollment shall be con- ( ducted. | " 'The enrollment book shall be t kept in the custody of the secretary j or at such place as shall be designat- ^ ed by the enrollment committee. " 'The club roll shall be open to ( inspection by any member of the ( party.' ( Self-I>isfranchi sed. 1 "The State committee has prepared s and sent out the prescribed books of enrollment, 'uniform throughout the ] State.' The signing of the club rolls < will begin on or before June 9. s "Special attention should be direct- < ed to the details of the new provis- 1 v ions, and everybody should be warn- ] ed against disregarding them. Neg- 1 lect to conform to the specific requirements will cause the rolls to be thrown out by the county committee. \ In other words, a man who disregards the rules runs the risk of dis- : franchising himself. "To help start things right, I re state the meaning or tne provisions , ., quoted above. " 'The book for each club roll shall * be kept in the custody of the secre- ( tarv or at such place as shall be designated by the enrollment committee.' "The secretary or other enrolling officer can take the book to a sick or infirm person or to any place for the convenience of those who should en\ roll. | "The would-be voter must himself r 1 write his own name in full on the book or make his mark on the book. "This forbids enrollment by proxy. Heretofore the secretary was expected to put on the roll every name that anybody reported to him. Candidates and others would bring lists and 1 names were often duplicated and er- ' rors were made in spelling or in initials or in residence. Sometimes the secretary failed to insert the name, r though requested to do so. For these errors of commission and ommission there was no redress. A man came | to Columbia from Hendersonville in order to vote and found his name not on the roll, although his friend had given it in or thought he had. "This provision enables a man to ( know, to a certainty, whether his j name is on the roll or not. ( "But its special value is that it lessens the opportunity for fradulent ; enrollment. A man's signature is his ( identification. If he comes up twice , and is not recognized by the enrolling officer he forges a false name and false occupation and residence in his . own handwriting and may be caught up with later and punished. "When a man presents himself to : the managers of the election and offers to vote under a certain name, he i can be challenged and required to L * identify himself with the bearer of i I that name by signing the name be- ! fore the managers, to be compared : with the signature on the book. Thus ' if he is an imposter he will be discovered and can be prosecuted. "This is the real safeguard in the new rules, and any one should readily _? ' see why the convention refused to substitute the minority's plan of enrollment by written applications? such applications being easily forged and multiplied indefinitely, and not readily preserved and referred to on election day for comparison of signatures. "The name must be written in full 1 ELECTROCUTED IX SAILBOAT. lYagetly Occurs When CYaft Drifts Against Pole. Charleston, June S.?George Joseph. a laborer, who is also knotfn as Mosey," was electrocuted yesterday ifternoon between 5 and 6 o'clock vhile aboard a sloop in the Cooper *iver ak the result of coming in conact with the heavily charged cable j ? - - ' ? 1 )f the Charleston isie 01 rauus nation Company. Death was instant, jut dilligent efforts were made to esuscitate the unfortunate man. Toroner Mansfield investigated the ase and was satisfied that Joseph's ieath was accidental and that he was ilectrocuted by coining in contact vith the cable. There was another man and two vomen in the boat at the time of the tccident. One of the women was a sister to Joseph. The trio will be jailed upon this morning to testify it the official inquest. From what could be learned yeserday Joseph and three others were injoying an outing in the smack 'Little Rebecca." Tide was high md the boat floated nearer the shore ;han is usually the case. In passing he Consolidated Company's power louse, which supplies the current for ;ables, the sloop moved to the inside )f two poles on which rests the cable hat enters from the power house. The sloop ran against one of the joles, it is said, and Joseph got up tnd walked toward the pole to push he boat away. The guy wire of the * ^ ^ he sloop, running irom uie ?.w > he side of the boat, struck the cable. \s Joseph is said to have touched :he pole upon which the cable rested lis body was seen to jerk, and he :'ell back. On investigation he was ?ound dead. By the presence of mind of the ithers, however, in not touching the iody or anything about the boat un;il it had moved away from both poles and cable, by the current of water, no one else was hurt. The sloop was docked at the foot if Calhoun street and a physician jailed. The pulmotor of the Consolilated Company was also brought into ise. but was of no assistance as Joseph had been killed outright. The news of the accident spread rapidly and hundreds of people gathered about the landing place of the sloop to see the man. They were iispersed by policemen. The body was then removed to the Roper Hospital, where further fruitless efforts were made to resuscitate it. A safety vault was the scene of a secret wedding of a divorced couple n Denver. ?another safeguard against duplication and forgery, 'J. S. Jones,' is not as definite as 'John Samuel Jones' or James Stuart Jones,' or jaKe sauniers Jones.' "Moreover, as handwriting goes, J. S. Jones' might pass for I. L. Tones,' etc. "The applicant must, in his own hand, write on the book his age, occupation, postoffice address, and, if there is such, his street and house lumber. He must write these statements himself, so that if they are afterwards proved to be untrue he can not set up the defense that the secretary misunderstood him and vrote the information down wrong. "If unable to write he must make his mark, and the secretary or enrolling officer writes the full name and other facts, given him by the applicant, and signs his own name as vitness to the mark and the statement of name and other facts.

"But there is provision for scrutinizing and purging the rolls by the :ounty committee; and there are ample statutes to punish for fradulent enrollment. "As to the hardship on the voter, tie is required to do no more than the dispensary law has always required of every person that buys a half pint of liquor. "Already I have heard of a secretary who said he would save all this trouble by just copying his old club roll into the new boow. It is to be feared that we have a number of secretaries who would connive at this sort of thing. But let every voter remember that if his name gets on the club roll In any other way except by his own personal signature of full name or mark, he can not legally vote, and he commits a crime in offering to vote. "Secretaries who try to be obliging by taking care of their friends in disregard of the rules, will be liable to criminal prosecution, and their en-1 tire club lists may be thrown out. "If the signature is not plainly legible, the secretary or other enrolling officer should rewrite the name just beneath the signature. Many signatures are illegible to a stranger?and some signatures are practically hieroglyphics." NEW BUILDING FOB DEAF. 1 Cedar Springs Institute to Have $25,000 Addition.

IS A WONDERFUL ROAD. J That From Vera (Yuz to Mexico City ] Was Built by Cortez. j The good roads movement was be- < gun in Mexico by the Conquistator j Cortez. He and his followers and the 1 Indians he impressed into his service } built the bowler-paved highway that is crossed and recrossed by the modern railways and connecting Vera Cruz and the capital city. So well . did they build that long sections of ' this road have always since been traversable and during the stage- ( coach era it was kept in excellent condition. Travel in tnose aays uegan with daylight and ended with dusk, for there were brigands abroad then as well as now. Fifteen years ago a remarkable trip was made from the city of Pueblo in an automobile over this paved way with very little trouble. Here and there the mountain torrents have washed out portions but so well was the route chosen that many miles of practically undisturbed paving exists, with a straight and "plum" retaining wall. Of course these famous Spanish mansions had the advantage of Indian trails that had been used for centuries before. 1 Narrow winding paths they were, < tacking in and out of the little canyons, but always climbing higher in the great gorge that led up between < the mountains of the range that had to be crossed after leaving the low, hot country knd before entering the high-hung valley of Mexico. In recent years, in response to the I world-wide demand for good roads for automobiles, parts of this and other old Spanish roads in Mexico have been rebuilt according to the most approved modern methods, but the traveler to-day may look out of his Pullman window and see little bands of laden burros being driven by Indians wending their way along the Cortez road, the same broad highway that has borne the traffic of cen turies. The Cortez road is twice as wide as the famous Appian way of Rome, and as well constructed as the old -Roman roads of England. Indeed, is has been said that the Spanish should be called the pioneer road builder of America, as the Roman is of Europe. ' | Many of the Mexican Indians still look with fear and suspicion upon railroad travel and many cannot af! ford to pay the price of a Journey [ ever so short so they traverse many miles barefooted over the mountain | trails that lead into the Cortez road | and the railroad that has now outj rivaled it. The writer once saw a caravan of Indians descending a steep ! mountain path, each carrying upon his back a mahogany railroad tie, which he would sell to the Mexican ! railway for the munificent sum of six cents. But even those portions j of the railroad that were laid upon ! solid mahogany will be worn to dust, I while the old Cortez road, paved with torrent washed cobbles, will endure, perhaps, another 400" years.? Kansas City Times. Easy Cure. | "Any more out in the surgery John?" asked the tired East End doctor, at the close of a hard even| ing's work, according to the New York Journal. "One woman with a baby, sir." "Show her in, then." A lady of ample proportions, who together with her offspring, evinced | a great antipathy to soap, entered. "Oh. doctor, the baby do seem so queer, like!" she said, holding the small specimen of humanity up for inspection. 1 Silently the doctor gazed at the i youngster. "Seems to me," he said quickly, 1 "that the child is suffering from dirt- 1 fobia extremis." < "Oh. doctor," exclaimed the ' alarmed woman, "whatever shall I ! do?" "Wash its face, my good woman," ' was the terse reply. ^ "Wash its face? Wash its face, indeed!" said the indignant mother, as she hastily gathered up the infant. "What next, I'd like to know, sir?" "Wash your own, madam!" came the cutting remark. 1785 1914 COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON South Carolina's Oldest College 130th Year lie gins Sept. 25.
