the women Of the war is now ready
for unveiling.
Women Of Cardinal Among the
vast changes of the last so years none
has been greater than in the position
OF your sex. Field after field has been
opened for your energies and few oc-
cupations of employments are now
closed to you which you care to enter.
With all, or most Of this, ] sympa-
thize, but do not forget that in COM
peting with men you must not sur
render the influence of your sex.
Shall sentiment depart? Shall grace
be banished? and beauty be neglected
or despised? So did not think the
women Of the war. The deeds / have
attempted to describe, the devotion l
have tried to picture did not come
from unsexed and denatured women.
Go on with your educational work,
instruct yourselves and your sons and
your daughters and fit them for the
new duties to come, but do not ever
forget that after all you are not and
can not be men, and that love and
admiration are as we'll worth winning
as an acknowledgment Of superiority
or cold respect.
THE monument We shall now un-
veil is intended to represent in it's
chief figure the women Of the Con-
federacy. You will see her seated
there crowned by symbolic figures
who together body forth the whole
people of the State. In the name Of
the men of the State now present it
to you for your approval"
The monument is beautiful piece
Of work. 1t stands upon a noble ped
estal of Winnsboro granite, an unusu-
ally massive foundation. The figures
are allegOrical consisting of woman
seated and the Genius Of the State
approaching from behind with a
wreath to honor and crown her. A
boy and girl on either side are bring
ing flowers to her lap. The artist,
Mr.. Ruckstuhl, has given the inter-
pretation to his creation.
This group representative Glori-
fication by the State of South Carolina
and her children Of the women Of the
Confederacy.
THE women of the Confederacy are
symbolized by the women seated in
the chair Of State. She is represented
as rejecting over thoughts suggested
by the Bible. which she has been read
ing. or as If meditating over the past
and future fate Of her people. She is
dressed in the plain costume in vogue
at the close Of the war, and her head
dress is Of the same epoch.
Behind her comes the Genius Of
the State with proud satisfaction at
the privilege of honoring this fine
woman. AT her left is winged boy,
who rushed forward enthusiastically
to pour an armful of flowers into her
lap. On her right. is a winged girl
timidly advancing, as if half afraid Of
the great lady. holding a boquet in
one hand and in the other a scroll or
Bible. bearing the words Enacted by
the General Assembly OF South Caro-
lina," and also the Great Seal Of the
State. These three figures symbolic
the whole people of the State coming
to honor the Women Of the Confed-
eracy."
The inscriptions on the monument
were written by Mr.. William E. Con-
azles of Columbia. The selection Of
the inscriptions was made by a COM

CONVENTION DEADLOCKS
OF THE PAST.

For the third time Baltimore
was the scene of a deadlock in a
national convention. The first
deadlock in a national convention
occurred in Baltimore city in
1874, when James K. Polk was
nominated on the ninth ballot.
The recent fight marks the
seventh in the history on conven-
ton deadlocks. This convention
does not establish new record
for the number of ballots taken,
Fifty-seven were necessary to
nominate Douglas in 1860 at
Charleston.
The following conventions were
deadlocked:

New Gun Does Not Shoot Bullets.

The bulletless gun has at last made
its appearance. 1t is a German in
vention, and instead of bullets it shoots
a gas which temporarily blinds and
chokes the victim.
The cartridge used contains several
ingredients which, when exploded,
combine to form vapor of peculiar
character. The gun itself differs very
little in appearance and mechanism
from the ordinary doubleaction revolver.
1t hold five cartridges.
The action of the vapor may best be
imagined by considering the position
of the person shot at. The appearance
of the weapon, the report and the flare
of the powder combine to convince the
victim that he has been shot at with an
ordinary frearm. His eyes and mouth
open in surprise, and the gases gener-
ated by the combination of the chemi-
Gals envelop his head completely,
penetrating his eyes and affecting his
sight.
For several minutes he is practically
blind. Simultaneously the mucous
membranes of the nose and throat are
irritated and the victim sneezes and
chokes. For minute or two the vic
tim finds it almost impossible to breathe.
1t is obvious that no individual, even
if he were as strong as Hercules,
would be in position to put up much
of a fight while in such condition.
The shotiess gun is intended prin
cipally for the protection of tourists,
commercial travellers, doctors, cyclists,
automobiles, bank officials, mail car
riers, watchmen and policemen. No
one wants to kill criminal unless it is
ABSOLUTELY necessary for ones own
preservation, and this invention is in
tended to make such course unnec-
esSary.

WILSON AND MARSHALL THE
NOMINEES

Woodrow Wilson, governor of
New Jersey, Tuesday afternoon
was made the nominee of the
Democratic party for the Presi-
dency. His nomination was
made on the forty-sixth ballot,
and came after a deadlock that
lasted nearly a week.
But for the action of Missouri,
which remained true to Champ
Clark until the last, the nomina-
ton would have been made by
reclamation. On the final ballot
Wilson had 900 votes, Clark "a,
and Harmon II.
The Democratic National Con-
vention nominated Gov. Thomas
R. Marshall, of Indiana, for the
Vice-Presidency, adopted the
most progressive platform in the
history of the party and then ad-
journed just before 2 o'clock
Wednesday morning after the
most remarkable series of SEES
sions in recent political history.
The balloting for the Vice
Presidency continued through
two roll calls. Then the Indian
ian was selected by ac-
clamation. Governor Burke, of
North Dakota, had been a prom
Using candidate for two hours,
but his strength failed him in
spite of the support of William
