fe . 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.
Not Standing But Rearing.
Marse Henry informs the country
that "R'ar hack on ver hind legs" is
the generic vernacular and proper
expression, and not "Stand up on
your hind legs."?Richmond TimesDispatch.

STATE CONVENTION
(Continued from page 2, column 3)
looks back with pride to the unceasing
efforts of the courts and the
State and county officials to promote
justice in South Carolina and to secure
law and order. 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.
The result of the ballot was as

LIEUTENANT WILKES.
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.
