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

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.

rules, as there is no check on the applicant
but the word and memory of
the witness, and a corrupt enrolling
officer can multiply 'marks' and
fradulent voters.
"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."

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.?

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.
