MONITOR AGAIN IN FAVOR. jajjlft t " ? ^rpe of Vessel Used in Civil War Re- . vived by British. Mi , The idea of the monitor is not new. It dates from the war of secession in the American States, where the H:;. States of the north employed vessels i sitting very close to the water, showing only a low, aripored hull, above which rose a single turret carrying a powerful gun. This model was successful, and the FVench navy thought that it should possess some examples. We see at Cherbourg, therefore, about 1880, two of these monitors that had been purchased from the United Spates un;.; y der the name of Rochambeau and Onondaga. Since this time, however, ^. we have had no monitors. Now they are in style again, and i? A.' v their strange aspect is thus describ|p ed in picturesque terms, on October gpu 20, 1915, by Ashmead Bartlettj , jfe "The arrival of these vessels at,the D&rdanelles on the 3rd made a sen?amnn? thft ftnemv. tWUUU| UUV V/mj ww?.0 T , tout also among our own troops. One W['. ( afternoon, a floating object of extraordinary aspect appeared at the en*?$M' trance of the port of Kefhalos. It seemed that instead of proceeding in IS a straight line, it reached its anchorf age in zigzag lines, dancing about like * great goose. At a certain distance < v it was impossible to say whether one IVf V wa^ looking at it from the side, the bow 05 the stern, so completely round did it appear. Its parapets sustained v \ a bridge, above which nothing was v visible but a very large turrett, from || r which protruded the muzzles of two ilfW huge guns. 5 , ' In the centre of the bridge rose Hke a giant of some California forest a tripod mast bearing at its end ||? a kind of oblong jewel box?an exact r replica, on a very large scale, of the ; box wherein the Dalai Lama carries with him the ashes of his pre vious incarnation. "Our first astonishment was Mv; I lowed by another, when the crew pre'0-.,pared to take a bath. It seemed as ||||': 1 if they were all able to walk on the Ifey water. * After having descended a Ife#, V ladder, instead of getting into the sea theyN proceeded to walk in single ; ; ^. file the length of their ship, and then, lj\, standing elbow to elbow, they all ' dived, to reappear shortly at the surface. ? "We went out in a boat to exam ine this odd phenomenon and found |J; that just below the water the sides 1 of the ship bulged out slightly for about ten feet, then curving inward ppf,, toward'the keel, and thus forming an exterior platform just awash. "Here lies the secret and the mysgt . tery of these vessels. In this bulg j||;\ ^ ing, the builder has concentrated his ingenuity to beat the submarine. If fc* a torpedo strikes the hull it will explode amid a variety of substances whose nature is unknown to me, but which protect the hull against any |a serious injury; "Later, three other large monitors arrived, which gave us eight fourteen-inch guns, besides a large number of smaller monitors of all shapes and sizes. "The construction of these monitors was undertaken to meet a new need?that of vessels of powerful armament, but practically safe from submarine attack. It is to the credit of the English navy to note that only six months were required to draw the plans of these ships and bring them to the spot where they fired their first shots."?La Nature.

It commends the officials who have aided in this *_ worK. "The verdicts of juries have been the bulwark of American liberty, and should not be lightly set aside, but should be upheld by all honest and law-abiding men, in order that the evil-doers might fear the courts and honest men abide by its decree. "We pledge the Democratic party to a continuance of strict law enforcement. Excellent Laws. "The Democratic party reviews with pride and gratification the advances made in South Carolina in the matter of social and economic legislation, with machinery for enforcement, designed to protect the human machine and better the condition of men, women and children laborers of the State, including such statutory amendments as the factory inspection act, the act for seats for women and regulation of hours of labor for women in mercantile establishments, the sixty-hour per week act in factories, the weekly pay roll act, the acts regulating hours of labor on street and interurban railways, the act protecting child labor and raising the age limit to 14 years, the act providing for a board of arbitration and conciliation of labor disputes, the acts regulating the payment and docking of wages ana tne act proiwiing messenger boys, pledges itself to a further programme of safe and sane legislation.' "We believe that the continued happiness and prosperity of our people demand the renomination and reelection of Woodrow Wilson as president of the United States and of Thomas R. Marshall as vice president, and our delegation to the national convention is hereby instructed to vote first, last and all the time for the accomplishment of this end. "We commend to our legislature for its earnest consideration the question of equal suffrage for women, and request that this matter be submitted to people by proper act of resolution for the decision." The platform was adopted by the convention amid applause. Convention Called to Order. State Chairman John Gary Evans called the convention to order at noon. The Rev. William Way, of Charleston, offered prayer. Candidates for temporary president were called for. Mr. J. J. McSwain, of Greenville, nominated *rnos. r. uoinran, of Greenville. This nomination was seconded by D. S. Henderson, of Aiken. Mr. Fred H. Dominick, of Newberry, nominated A. J. A. Perritt, of Lamar. Senator O'Dell, of Pickens, and Speaker Hoyt, of Richland, seconded the nomination of Mr. Cothran. On motion of Ex^Governor Ansel each delegation was called and the chairman of each delegation announced the vote of his delegation. The vote was: Total vote, 335; necessary to a choice, 168, of which Cothran received 262 and Perritt 73, thereupon Chairman Evans announced the election of Mr. Cothran as temporary president, and Mr. Dominick and Mr. McSwain were appointed to escort Mr. Cothran to the chair. He thanked the convention for the honor and called for nominations for temporary secretary. On motion of' Senator Nicholson, of Edgefield, the convention decided to elect two temporary secretaries. J. Wilson Gibbes, of Columbia; John K. Aull, of New-; berry, and A. E. Hutchinson, of Rock Hill, were nominated. The roll of the convention was called by counties.

An American Pioneer in ther- Antarctic. Mawson's work was along the coast of that part of the Antarctic which is south of Australia and is known on our maps as Wilkes Land, says the American Review of Reviews. Lieut. Wilkes, of the United States expedition of 1840, sailed along this coast between 95 degrees and 158 degrees east longtitude. He won the distinction of changing: the popular con ception that the Antarctic was an ocean by proving that it was a continent; and his name should be permanently attached to the wjiole coast line he revealed. | Some foreigners have tried to wrest this honor from him. Mawson, however, pays high tribute to the work of Wilkes. He found, to be sure, that some of the landfalls reported by Wilkes do not exist, but this is not surprising in a region where both land and sea, are covered by ice and snow; and Wilkes skirted this coast in a leaky sail vessel where terrific gales are frequent even in summer. Mawson testifies that Wilkes's work was of much value and will be remembered as a great achievement. "What's the difference," inquired the landlady, "between a turkey, dinner and a mess of stewed prunes?" "I don't know," said the solemn j boarder. "In that case," she continued, "Ij might as well save money and serve prunes."?Louisville Courier-Journal. * ! follows: Total number of votes, 331;! necessary to a choice, 162, of which Gibbes received 304, Aull 134, Hutchinson 225, whereupon Gibbes and moved that the naming of a committee on credentials be dispensed with and to allow each of the contesting delegations from Beaufort be allowed thirty minutes each to state their side before the convention. This was offered as an amendment to a motion by R. M. Mixson, of Barnwell, to appoint a committee on credentials to pass upon the Beaufort contest and the lists of delegates to the convention. Mayor Olin Sawyer, of Georgetown, suggested that both of the Beaufort delegations be seated with one-half vote each, as was done in the Georgetown -case a few years ago. f W. P. Pollock, of Cheraw, wanted to know of the Beaufort delegations if this would be agreeable to them. Mr. Beckett, of the Christensen delegation, said the Beaufort fight involved the question of Democratic supremacy and he opposed the suggestion to seat both delegations with half a vote each. He asked that the contest go before the committee on credentials. Mr. McSwain, of Greenville, moved that the roll of delegates from all counties from which there are no contests be accepted as the permanent roll of the convention, and that the Beaufort contest go before a committee of credentials to consist of one from each county, and tl}is committee report back to the convention at 3 o'clock, and thic was ndnnt.ed. The roll of counties was then called and the member of the credentials committee named along with the changes in the delegations. The credentials committee retired at 1:15 p. m., and the convention recessed to 4 p. m., to await their report. Eight delegates at large to the national Democratic convention at St. Louis, with one-half vote each, were elected to night as follows: Governor R. I. Manning, United States Senators Tillman and Sipith, State Chairman John Gary Evans, W. P. Pollock, L. D. Jennings, John G. Clink scales and Mayor T. T. Hyde, of Charleston. The delegation was instructed for Woodrow Wilson. \ ;ry of p th and 6th, Matins i - i* . .1 [mention ot our country, tne con ay to avoid these conseqences Tuesday, June 6, Matinee at 4:30 Tuesd< 3s to the destruction of New York City.
