PUN FOR REGISTRATION to carry oi*t provisions of selective draft service act. Work to lie Carried on I'mler Federal Authority. Each Person Engaged Being Empowered to Act. Columbia. May 20.?Machinery for the registration of all South Carolinians under the provisions of the selective draft service act of congress and in accordance with the proclamation of President Wilson was set in motion yesterday throughout the State by Gov. .Manning. The registration will be carried on under federal authority, each person engaged in such registration being clothed with powers to carry out the provisions of the act. The county feds eral boards of registration and con! scription through their registrars in every precinct in the State will register every male citizen, white and negro, between the ages of 21 and 30, both inclusive.- on Tuesday, June 5. Gov. Manning by virtue of the provisions of the act will have charge of the registration throughout the State. State headquarters will be the office of the governor. In each county there is a county federal board of registration and conscription, which consists of three men?one representative citizen, who , \ is chairman; the cierK or court ana the judge of probate. This board is charged also with the duty of conveying necessary information and orders to the registrars in each pre cinct in its respective county so that the required registrations can be made on the day appointed. This plan of registration and selection was adopted at a meeting of jthe county chairmen of the board 1 of registration and conscription in the supreme court room Monday night, April 30. On assembling Monday night the organization was perfected by the ; election of Senator Alan Johnstone as chairman and the election of John Elliott Puckett, of Columbia, private secretary to Gov. Manning, as secretary.-. The meeting lasted for four i hours and was attended in person by all but four county chairmen. Gov. Manning issued the following proclamation: "Whereas, the president of the United States, by proclamation, has fixed Tuesday, June 5, as registration day for all male citizens between the ages of 21 and 30, both inclusive. "Now, therefore. I, Richard I. Manning, governor of the State of South Carolina, pursuant to the provisions in said proclamation, and the duties* and responsibilities imposed thereby: and further, by virtue of the power and authority vested in me as governor of the State of South Carolina, do hereby likewise proclaim Tuesday, June 5, as the day on which all male citizens in South Carolina, both white and colored, between the ages of 21 and 30, both inclusive, shall, between the hours of 7 a. m. and 9 p. m. present themselves in person and register at the places now designated by the county boards of registration and conscription of the several counties and by the said boards of registration and conscription for the cities of Charleston and Columbia. "For this purpose I have appointed in ?etch county of the State a registration and a conscription board, consisting of a representative citizen, who shall act as chairman, the clerk of court of common pleas, and the judge of probate of said county. I have likewise appointed with similar powders, a like board for the cities of Charleston and Columbia, with the mayor of each city as chairman, and two representative citizens as members. "By virtue of authority vested in me. by section of the act of congress, approved by the president May 18, and more specifically referred to in his proclamation. I hereby clothe and vest these several boards with full authority, federal and State, and do appoint them, and each of them, as agents for their respective counties, i for the execution of the said act and / the duties imposed thereby, subject to further orcers from the president of the United States, the provost marshal general of the United States, and from me as governor of the State of South Carolina. Any person failing to serve in any capacity to which he is now, or may hereafter be, appointed under the provisions of the said act, and any male person who comes within the ages of 21 to 20, both inclusive. both white and colored, who shall fail to register 011 the day and between the hours named, will suffer penalty of the federal law. "I hereby call upon all courts of the State, now in session: the churches, the colleges, the schools, the press of the State and upon all good and patriotic citizens and all other agencies of publicity, to read, post and spread abroad throughout j South Carolina* this and the other necessary information, so that each and every man between tiie ages of! 21 and 20. both inclusive, both white and colored, shall be informed of his SINKING FASTI-: 11 TM.W 1U IIJMXG Why Government Has lieen Driven to Guild Fleet of Wooden Vessels. Washington. .May 20.?Chairman Denman. of the shipping hoard, issued a vigorous denial tonight of reports, widely circulated and- repeated on the floor of the senate, of differences between members of the board of Gen. Goethals. manager of the Emergency Corporation. Statements that the board has abandoned its wooden ship building programme at the instance of Gen. Goethals drew from Mr. Denman the declaration that already contracts have been let for twenty-six wooden ships and that scores of others will be let in the near future. "The shipping board." said Mr. Denman. "has never wanted to build wooden ships, but has been driven to it by necessity. The wooden vessel has an economic value that is not entirely negligible, but were it not for the war it is not conceivable that we would have built one of them. Couldn't Get Steel Ships. "Before entering into the wooden shipbuilding project the board .canvassed the steel shipbuilding ^industry and found that it could get no contracts for the building of steel vessels in any large numbers for the government account. We afterwards discovered that the reason for this was that the British government had contracted for nearly all the available.space in American yards. "It should be noted that if the world produces all of the steel ships that it now can build?or that can be built in the next eighteen months? and in addition all the wooden ships which can be built in that time, it will not equal one-half the rate of destruction established by the German submarines in the month of April, of this year. Germany's Chances. "The men at the head of the steel Droducins industries realized late in April that unless the .production of tonnage was stimulated there was a good chance of the Germans, winning the war. They promised to supply us with a very large amount of steel for shipbuilding within the period of a^ few months, increasing gradually from the present time to a maximum to be reached about October. "Gen. Goethals thereupon began I upon a plan of organization of the steel shipbuilding industry, which through standardization of construeI tion, would enormously increase the output of steel vessels. This plan would require taking over of all vessels under contract in the shipbuilding yards whose date of completion can be hastened by increased labor and more rapid supply of material and equipment." PASTORS' RELIEF UNDERTAKEN. Southern Baptists Take First Definite , S*eps. ? New Orleans, La., May 19.?The 1918 convention of the Southern Baptist denomination will be held in Hot Springs, Ark., next May, if arrange ments satisfactory to the executive committee are made. The Rev. W. H. Geistwert, of St. Louis, will de- j liver the convention sermon. This was decided by the convention today. For the first time in the history J of the convention definite steps were taken to provide a relief system for Southern Baptist ministers. The convention unanimously adopted a report of the relief committee recommending a commission of nine to devise a pension and relief system for ministers, with an endowment fund of not less than $4,000,000. The Sunday school board already has set aside $100.00(1 as a nucleus for this fund. It is expected the convention will adjourn by .Monday night. The convention adopted the report and recommendations of the Sundayschool board with minor amendments and the board was instructed to consider and report to the next convention on the feasibility of the Sundaysrlmol hoard financing: the adminis trative expenses of the home and foreign mission boards out of the surplus from its publication business.

C. gj THE TEST OF MERIT Bamberg People Are Given Convincing Proof. No better test of any article can be made than the test of time and this is particularly true of a kidney medicine. Doan's Kidney Pills have ' stood this test and stood it well. What better proof of merits of this remedy could you demand, than the statement of a Bamberg resident who used is successfully and tells of lasting results. Read the following: E. Dickinson, jailor, Rice St., Bamberg, says: "1 was subject to severe backaches and my kidneys did not act regularly. The kidney secretions were unnatural and irregular in passage. I sued Doan's Kidney Pills, nrocured at the People's Drug Store, and they benefited me greatly. They regulated the action of my kidneys and removed the lameness and soreness in my back." (Statement given January 26. 1911.) NO TROUBLE SINCE. On May 29. 1914, Mr. Dickinson said "The cure Doan's Kidney Pills made for me some years ago is still lasting. My back is now strong and my kidneys act regularly." Price 50c. at all dealers.
