BARNWELL DELEGATION.
I
HEARD CONTEST IN OPEN
!
Credentials Committee After Hearing
Testimony of Both Delegations Vote
Unanimously to Seat the Barnwell
Delegation?Convention Adopted
Their Report.
The credentials committee of the
State Democratic convention listened
for three or four hours to tho
hnriros nnr? rnuntArHinrcps rnmlin?
from Charleston, in the effort of tho
two delegations from that county to
be declared tho regular members of
tho convention. At last, however,
after tho matter had boon sifted
from top to bottom tho committee
decided without a dissenting voto to
seat tho Barnwell delegation. Every
word of the hearing and finding was
considered in open session.
Practically the same scene, says
The State, was witnessed in the hall
of the Mouse as was enacted in tho
1912 convention when tho contest
from Charleston was heard. There
were charges and countercharges,
bitter language, personal and professional
charges, a general discussion
of tho political situation In Charleston,
accounts of riots at club
meetings, stories of how club meetings
were packed with non-residents
and accounts of how dead men were
voted.
Tho hearing ranged from jest to
earnest. At one time a witness was
raising his hand and calling for a
Bible to swear to some statement.!
At another a witness was calling
some ono a falsifier. Hundreds of
affidavits were submitted to prove
the contentions of both sides. Members
of the Democratic party were
charged with padding the rolls and
some of the secretaries were charged
with stealing the club rolls. Statements
that policemen were stationed
at the doors of the club meetings and
that the doors were locked promptly
at 8 o'clock caused much laughter.
It was stated, however, that this is
done by consent of both the alleged
factions.
Out of the genera! mass of testimony
the following situation was developed:
All of the delegates from
the various clubs in Charleston gathered
in Hibernian hall to attend the
county convention. The convention
was never formally organized. Just
before the organization the faction
headed by Mayor Grace took exception
to the action of the county executive
committee in accepting the
delegates from the country districts
who had failed to make report to
the committee within three days so
that a temporary roll might be
made up. This rule, it was contended,
was adopted by the committee
last year.
The Grace faction did not want
these delegates to be seated because
they claimed that they had not been
properly enrolled. The Grace faction
also contended that "pretensive" protests
had been filed by the Barnwell
delegation to cut down an alleged
majority for Grace. Just before the
convention was organized a separate
convention in the same hall and proceeded
to elect delegates to the State,
convention.
Tno credentials committee found
itself confronted with an unusual
proposition. The committee finally
decided to go fully into the charges
made by both sides and to determine
whether the protests filed by thrt
Barnwell delegation were "pretensive"
o** legal.
Mayer Grace told the committee
that in 1912, after he had been
thrown out of the State convention,
he had taken his lifo in his hands
for the people who threw him out.
Mayor Grace charged that the rule
adopted in 1912 to requiro that a
certified copy of the club delegations
he filed with the executive committee
had been disregarded in Charleston.
Discussing his own club, Club 2,
Ward 2, Mayor Grace told of his majorities
there in past elections, llo
claimed that Woodrow Wilson could
not beat him in that ward. "Yetj
they slip in a protest to cut down
our majority," said Mayor Grace.
He charged that the protest was "fictitious".
lie said that he had been
approached and asked to bring a fictitious
protest but that ho had refused.
"They havo taken both clubs away
from us and we have not a look-in
on election day," said Mr. Grace, dl3- 1
cussing other clubs in Charleston.
Mayor Grace charged that there was
a "fictitious protest system" and that
It had been operated by the liarnweL
faction.
Giving his reasons for withdrawing
from the county convention, ho
said that there was "no justice, no
reason and no argument". 11o said
that ho knew that the committee on !
credentials that would have been appointed
by Mr. Barnwell would rulo
against his delegates.
Replying to the statements of
Mayor Grace, Mr. Barnwell said that
when Mayor Grace bolted the conTentlon
no business had been accomplished
and the roll had JuRt been
called. He said that It was the duty
of the county executive committee to
prepare the temporary roll. Ho declared
that the men in Charleston
county did not know of the rule to
requir? that the delegates ho filed
three days after tho clyb meoting.
He declarod that under the circumstances
it would not have been right
to exclude them from the convention.
Mr. Barnwell also stated that even
if the delegates from the country
districts had been excluded, his side
still had a majority of tho delegates
in th0 convention. He said that
Mayor Grace had bolted and had refused
to enter the convention and file
a protest. Ho thought that tho latter
course would have been better.
In one of tho wards, it was charged
by Mr. Barnwell, tho Grace faction
had changed tho meeting place
from Hibernian hall and the new
meeting place had not been properly
advertised. Mayor Grace submitted
affidavits and contended that the
meeting had been properly advertising
TMilci wna Wnrrl 1 fliiV* 1 Thorn
were many counter charges in connection
with this meeting. The
charges in connection with all of the
other wards wero roviowod by tlio
committee.
Mr. Barnwell, says The News and
Courier account, focused the issue 011
the one point that tho county convention
did tho right tiling in sticking
to tho prima facie clnb rolls as
: made up by tho county executive
1 committee, and that tho Grace fac'
tion should have remained in tho
j county convention at least until there
I was a show by tho convention itself
that it would givo his side 110 justice,
innd that without a test thero was 110
way of his knowing that I10 and his
friends would not havo gotten a fair
deal. If they had not, then and then
only should an appeal havo been
made.
Mr. Barnwell and his assistant,
Mr. Arthur Young, kept on hammering
011 tho point that Mr. Grace had
absolutely no right to assume that
ho and his friends would not have
gotton a square deal in the convention.
It was admitted that 011 the
prima facio club roll the Barnwell
delegates wore in a majority, and Mr.
Barnwell's insistence was that the
only correct proceeding was to have
accepted tho prima facie roll of uncontested
delegations and referrod
tho contesting delegations to tho committee
on credentials.

ECLIPSE NEXT AUGUST.
?
Sun Will be Totally Hidden But Not
Affecting Onr Locality.
The eclipse of the sun on August
21?total in part of Europe and Asia
and partial in Northwestern America
?is attracting the widespread attention
of astronomers and scientists, various
expeditions being arranged to
witness this prenoraena. In view of
the public interest in the event, Prof.
C. Q. Abott, head of the astronomical
branch of the Smithsonian Institution,
and a recognized authority on
solar phenomena, gives the following
popular account of the eclipse, and
the scientific results sought from such
events.
On August 21, 1914, the moon will
pass exactly between the earth and
the sun, and there will be a total
solar eclipse. It will not be observed
in America, except as a small partial
eclipse at sunrise in the Northern
states and Canada, but in Persia,
Russia and Seandanavia the full effect
will be seen.
Although the moon looks about the
samo size as the sun, it is very much
smaller and nearer. The sun is 8G5,000
miles in diameter and 93,000,000
miles away, while the moon is

moon's small size compared with the
sun tho shadow cast by tho moon Is
a cone, and tho point of this cone
just barely reaches tho earth.

A brighter industrial and

banking and currency law that distributes
the country's accumulation
of capital among tho people whose
labors have created it. In constructive
legislation enacted for tho benefit
of tho many and not for tho few,
this Democratic administration has
already achieved more than Republican
administrations have ever accomplished,
and it will bo known in history
as tho restorer of the rights of
tho people that have been taken
from them during tho long period
when tho government in tho hands
of tho Republican party was a partner
of tho privileged classes.
"The Democratic administration
will curb tho monopolies that have
been built up under tho fostering
care of tho Republican party; it "will
make plain the way of honest business;
it will further provide the facilities
of credit to tho farniers and ,
small producers and it will/ go forward

of 1,5 00 men having been ordered
to oppose the projected attempt
by suffragettes to presont a petition
to King George. Mrs. Emmorline
Pankliurst had announco she would
load a great procession to the royal
residence, but it was said that she '
probably would bo arrestod under the {
provisions of the "Cat and Mouse 1
Act" if she put in an appearance.
The polico formed a complete ring
around the palaco and its grounds as ,
the women had threatened to scale .
1 ho high walls enclosing the gardons.
All the detectives from polico head- ,
quarters at Scotland Yard wore on
duty and a body of 1,000 patrolmen
was held in reserve in caso of emor(
gency.
Police precautions had been di- (
rectod toward repelling an assault
from the direction of Westminister,
where the suffragettes had advertised
they would form a parade. Instead,
a small body of women, known for
their militancy as "gunwomon" of the
Women's Social and Political union, .
burst from a private residence on
Hyde park corner and forced their
way through the archway at top of
Constitution hill before the squad ofji

One group, headed by Miss Sylvia ^
