THE I'M Vf A KY lt! IKS
AK the ruloH of the democratic par
ty with reference to the holding of
tho Primarius have boen changed in
several particulars, Th?' Intelligencer
hus asked the Anderson county dele
gation for a statement as io me effect
of the changos. The deh'gutlon oon
slstcntly opposed udopting the strin
gent plan offered by the Richiund
county convention and favored a mod
erate plan that would insure a correct
i ciub roil and at the same time put all
white men in the state on un equal
footing. The following is a digest of
the new rules as prepared by Tho In
telligencer
There was one thing that must
have impressed everybo?ly In attend
ance upon the state convention, and
that is that the groat majority of the
delegates were deeply in earnest.
From everjf nook and cprner of the
state there came nien from every
walk of life who worked almost as a
unit in an honest effort to cause an
honest primary. It ls. not for any one
of us to say whether or not the action
was wise or for the best interests of
the party. It only remains to bo seen
wlu'th?r th?* accumulated, ideas of the
members of this convention shall bear
convention fruit their authors Intend
e<| (hat they slum Id bear.
If there wus any delegate in the
convention opposed to primary re
form, he did not so much as say so.
Nu voico waa raised tn defense of the
old rules, while scores of voices at
tacked thom without reserve. Two
delegations were instructed to voto
ugainst any reform of the primary,
ard each of them announced this be
fore casting their voies. You ask
me to give a brief statement of tho
present requirements to vote in tho
primary ami from fm- standpoint of
tho voter, they are substantially these.
1. The voter must be a male
citizens of the United States over
21 years of age and a demo
crat. If a negro he must have
voted for Hampton In 1876. and
tho democratic ticket continu
ously since.
2. He must have resided In the
j state two years, in the county G '
months and in the precinct 60
days before the nn?t primary.
3. Km-h member of a demo
cratic club must write his name,
' h is age, his postofflce address, and
occupation upon the club roll of
the club in the ward in which he
resider, or if tli-'re are no wards
then on the roll of the nearest
voting precinct calculated by the
nearert practicable route In the
event the applicant cannot sign
his name the secretary or other
custodian of the club roll may
'ign for him und cause him to
make his mark.
4. On the last Tuesday in July
of each election year, the club
rolla' shall close and within 3
days bo sent to the chairman of
tho exocu?tve committee. There
.'.opies shall be made, in alphabet
ical order, and filed in tho cleric
of courts office for, public in
spection. The originals anal! bo
rctdrncd to the managers of the
election, duly certified and no
person whose name falls to ap
pear on said club roll shall be en
titled to vote.
From the voters standpoint, thia ls
the substance of the requirement J to
vote. It wai the-overwhelmlnc sense
of the convention that no white dem
ocrat should bo disfranchised, and if
any om? U disfranchised, he will dis
franchise himself. All that he has
to do ls to put this name on the one
club roll nearest him and no other,
and If he cannot write h ia name there
will be a man there to write it for
him. Tho wisdom ot thia require-'
ment la that it protects every honest
oaltot cast In Sonth Carolina; lt fis
sures us that every voter is la exist
ence how.' for he must conte in person
to bo enrolled. And by requiring
.'ach voter to Become a member of one j
duh only ai.d that one neareBt his res
Idenco, lt inaken it almost impossible
to repeat, or enroll a non-resident
of that community. And hy tiling thc
dub i-i.ll- open to public inspc :'.irn,
arranged in u,e alphabetical ordcr.wi
have un almost impossible burrier
to repeating yr ilhgal ?'nroflmont.
The Htrfe object of tue convention
was lo'gdurd th?? primary against
fraud or any possibility thereof. In j
doing HO wt- have not denied the bal-j
lol <<> any while citizen who has any |
rlRht to claim the ballot, and I cannot
see liow any mun who wants au hon?
esl dod ?un csu lind faull with the
rules as they nqw stand.
WAUK OTUKHS HAPPf
Among th? many visitors who ?ame
to pay a Inst tribute of love at the
graveside of William U. Smith was
"Citizen" Joshua W. Ashley of Ho
neu Put h. Ho was a great admirer
of Capt. "Hilly" Smith, and the stute
ment he made to Home friends yester
day illu.struted more than anything
dise th? nut uro of th?) gentle and
courtly tuan and official that Capt.
Smith wnw.
"When I was fl mt elected to the ieg
Islature," Huid Mr. Ashley, "I wanted
my wit?* to visit me in Columbia. She
was tint accustomed to traveling
alone, so 1 asked Capt. "Hilly" Smith
lo look after her. If she had been the
queen of England or th?? wife of the
president of tho !'nited States che
would not hu ve been treated any bet
ter than she was. And ho was that
way to ull elderly ladies who were
travelling alone."
And liiere was another side to the
lire of Capt. "Hilly" Smith that was
expressed in the pulpit very feelingly
by Hr. Vines. He said that not only
did Capt. Smith carry with him on
i;i. run ?? drep ss-use of rekpo&Siwll
ity to his company and *o his pa
trons, but he ulso carried his relig
ion with him every day. He said
th?t Capt. "Hilly" was a deeply pious
mun and never lost an opportunity to ?

On liIH way around the corridor friends
expressed their sorrow.
"I am very, very norry for myself."
he declared grimly. "1 have nothing
more to say."
Immediately after tbe couti was ad
journed Mr. Manton eaid:
"I fall to see how the jury managed
to convict Becker In view of conflicting
evin, nee presented by wi tin-sues for
the stud' ami evidence that OUT wit
nesses gave. However, it life be M
done. I immediately will set ?. work
to prepare an appeal. We will light

verdict. ' It speak? for Itself." he said.
"Becker, ls .guilty. J've proven".o fl??

too overcome with grief to leave Im
mediately. Wheh she went at last K' e
had to be assisted from the building.
This, the sixteenth and last nay of
tho second trial, was devoted to tho
Judge's charge and deliberation of the
lury.
In his review of the evidence Justice
Zabury directed the jury that to (int)
the defendant guilty they must ?decide,
that tho stories of Rose. Vallon and
Webber were supported by witnesses
not Involved in the crime. This cent
ered emphasis on the testimony of
charles Plltt, Jr., who waa Becker's
press agent when the former police
lieutenant waa master ' of the old
st ron;; arm squad, Plltt waa ii witness
for the defence at the first trial, but
at the second he took the stand at thc
euii or the district attorney. Beckers
attorneys tried to prove that Plitt also
was an accomplice, bul the court left
tris question to tk?Jury and their ver
dict siiowed in ey uwi?ee ne was not.

sci for my defense. I may be wrong.
It may have been a day or two after
ward?. I bad several appointments
with these gentlemen to discuss the
matter."
The letter which Mr. Mellen said
he wrote to the district attorney at
New York for the purpose of shielding
Mr. Morgan, waa not introduced in
Bvidence and Mr. Folk afterward said
lt was not in bia possession.
The closing scene of the day con
cluded the four days of gruelling in
terrogation which MV. Mellen had un
dergone. Before the Morgan climax
waa reached. Mr. Fork"had developed
the part taken by the various direc
tors of the New Haven in the vast fi
nancial operations of the system. Mr.
Mellen gave him an Intimate personal
view of several members of tho New
Haven board, further-emphasizing the
dominant power of Mr. Morgan, par
ticularly, and Mr. Rockfoller, Mr. Ba
ker and Mr. Ledyard. He paid trt
butea of admiration to other mem
bers of the board. < .> > .
Mr. Mellen also testified to hold
up? In stocka to which he had been
subjected as president of tho New Ha
ven, and said that lt was due to Inti
mation* that came to him thr t if legisla
tlon v as wanted lt would he a good
idea to trade stocks.
Mr. Mellen left late today for New
York. He had not been excused as
a witness, but is subject to recall at
any time. He assured Mr. Folk be
was ready to appear whenever he was
wanted.
The extent to which Mr. Mellen'?
testimony may render bim Immune
from prosecution ls still an open ques
tion. Officials of tbe department of
Justice have expressed, themselves
that the testimony would raise the
question of imm?aUo\ !mt the inter
state commerce. commission haa pro
ceeded on the grounds that the testi
mony was called far by a resolution
of the United States senate without
reference to what Hs effect might be.
Mr. Folk has dot determined yet
who will be if a next witness, bnt he
probably will bara either Lewis Cass
JLedyard of vleorge, if.. Baker, of the
New Haven directorate, on the stand
at the resumption of the bearing on

The Burmese language, as printed

These .languages bear some rescnbl-.
ance to the vertical writing" now;
practiced in Our public schools.
ThJ? four hundred million people of
India have nearly fifty mir?rent dia-?
leets or vernaculars. The Chamber*
lain Medicine Company advertises in
ten of the principal onec as follows:.
Begall, Gujurathi. Hindi, Kanarese,
Malayalam. Marathi, Sindhi, Tamil,
Telegu and Urdu. The Shlnrhl und
Urdu are written from right to left in
the Hebrew fashion. The Urdu ls a
sort of script and is so chaotic in
snape that it is impossible to reduce
it to the movable type form. Papers
printed in the Urdu language are
therefore first written out by hand
und a plate made by the lithograph
process. The "Oudh Akhbar," a six
teen page daily published at Lucknow
la this language, claims a circulation
of about 5.000. lt, is said that in or
der to handle this circulation it re
quires an office force of about 200;
Fortunately ior the i managers,, me
wages paid to natives are only a few

pany, advertises In newspapers print

times possessed no alphabet but for
which the Roman alphabet has been
adopted. Among these are the- na
tive Hawaiian, Sampan, Tagalog
(Philippine Islands). Kaffir, Zulu, and
Basutc, of South Africa. There Ss
also a modern form of the Malay lan
guage using Roman characters', known
as Romanized Maiay, This . is. us. a
in Java and the Etant Indies.
It is difficult to conceive how the
readers of some of the papers manage
to handle tbem. Imagine a man on
a crowded street car trying to read
a paper whose pag>ss are thirty eight
inches long and twenty, nine inches
wide. This ls the size of the "Hitada
bl," a Bengall weekly published in
Calcutta, India. Some of the English
dailies published in South Africa, are
almost aa unwieldy, the pages of one
measuring twenty-seven and one-half
Inches in length and twenty-five
inches in width.
To an American newspaper man it
is interesting to note the manner in
which the colonial English newspapers
are made up.Tho y still cling to the
methods which were practiced in this
country fifty years ago. the advertise
ments being upon the first few pages,
followed generally by the heavy edi
torials, then a few meager cable and
telegraphic Item?, afterwards the local
news. The local news consista princi
pally of the proceedings of the legis
lative bodies, town council, school
board, etc. Contributions by the
reader? are numerous and lengthy.
The editorials are generally of a
more dignified and serious nature than
American productions. The dally pa
pers devote more space to book re
views and detailed' reports of seien?
tifie progress than Ams ri can news*
papers do. Humor is not. go notice
able and cartoons are used more rare*

Very few. if any, of the colonial
papers issued a "pink sheet,'1 but they
supply this omission by devoting' a
large proportion of every issue to the
sporting news. This is especially
noticeable In the American papen.
With few exceptions the advertising
pages would give our "ad" writers the
nightmare. They seem to have little
conception of the value ot space or of
attractive methods ol' presenting either
the text or the Illustrations. A pleas
ing relief to this monotony is afford
