sessions only four days last week, sew
eral bills of Importance have been IN
trodueed in the tao houses and referred
f. committees for reports. There was
disposition among the members sSefs ot % the
general assembly to wait until Richard
1. Manning was inaugurated governor
on Tuesday before taking the necessary
steps toward placing before the general
assembly measures he is known to ad-
vocate. Legislators in sympathy with
Mr.. Manning are preparing bills which
will carry out his ideas on the reform
of the tax system, the state banking
laws and other subjects closely con-
nected with the administration Of the
the states business affairs.
Advocates of the adoption of COM
pulsory education law in South Carolina
have reason to be pleased, because,
early as it is in the session, there are
three compulsory education bills pend
ing in the senate and two in the house.
The proponents of forcing children in
the state to obtain an education have
increased in the last two or three years
until their name is legion. Compulsory
school attendance, either statewide or
of local option character, was an issue
on which the result of domination to
both state and county Offices hinged to
q great degree in the Democratic pri-
msries last summer.
The subject of taxation as matter
for legislation IS one which legislators
habitually approach cautiously. Al
though the report is current and well
substantiated that much will be under
taken later on in the way of reform of
the tax system, nothing on this subject
has been introduced in either house yet
which can be looked upon as construc-
tive measure, except q bill by Mr.. Lilies
Of Orangeburg amending the law in
reference to delinquent taxes, penalties
and executions.
In the house Mr.. Sellers of Marion
and in the senate Senator Nicholson Of
Edgefeld have offered bills to defer the
payment of taxes without penalties un-
til March Is, 1915. Mr.. Lynch of Flor
ence in his bill in the house would give
grace until April l, 1915.
A big question that the general as
sembly will be called upon to settle is
whether the qualified electors of the
state shall vote on September IA, 1915,
on the question Of aholishing the whis-
key traffic in the state. The prohibi-
ton referendum bill has been introduced
in the house by Mr.. Boyd Of Spartan
burg and Mr.. Warren of Hampton and
in the senate by Senator Carlisle of
Spartanburg. The dispensary commit
tees of both houses will report on the
measure. Prohibitionists of the state
are behind the bill, having started their
campaign some weeks ago and pssaiff- psaaiinff-
tsi2ea- bureau in Columbia. The COM
panion bill to the prohibition referendum
bill, also pending in the house and SEN
ate, invokes the Federal authority given
by the Webb bill to prevent shipment of
liquor into the state should the referen-
dun bill pass and a majority of the
qualified electors vote 'dry" next Sep
tember.

Weather Tires
Prove Popular With

our great increase of output In All
Weather Tread tires is, among other
things, a sign of how car manufacturers
are giving better and better equipment
with their products" says l.. c. Rockhill
manager automobile tire department, the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber company. "A
few years ago cars were sold without
wind shields and without other things
that are provided as a matter OF course
with cars of today. And the tire that
came with new cars were usually plain
treads, unless some special arrangement
for nonskids has been made by pur-
chasers.
when we started to push our ALL
Weather Tread tires for rear wheels, be-
cause of their obvious advantages. we
considered we were doing we'll IL sales
of All-Weather Treads were % per cent
as large as sales of plain tread tires. A
big change has come I'm the last year or
two. We estimate that for 1915 Good
year tires will equip approximately
10000 new cars. OF these nearly half
will have All-weather Treads on rear
wheel tires. The demand for this popu-
lar, safe and fine appearing type Of tire
is growing by leaps and bounds and
automobile manufacturers may be COM
plimented for recognizing it and supply
ing All-Weathers TO the car user, though
ALL Weathers cost more to make than
plain tread tires.
Not only car manufacturers, but users
as well, recognize this era of the All
Weather Tread. and our sales to dealers,

divided between All-Weathers and plans,

Twenty-four hours is all the Paige-De-

success, but as soon as the automobile

factory would have been swamped had
not heroic measures been taken. The
Paige company sold more than 81 900 900
worth OF cars at the New York and Chi

a record, and the enthusiasm and prac-

EIGHT is BETTER THAN SIX
So Says Charles S. Crawford, Chief
Engineer for the Cole Motor
Car Company,
LESS EXPERIMENT ON NEW CAR

The eight-cylinder motor car which has
so taken the public by storm is really
a mystery 10 the majority Of the motor
wise" and discussion OF various points in
its construction are Of common occur
renee. For the enlightenment OF those
interested in the eight. Chief Engineer
Charles S. Crawford Of the Cole Motor
Car company, who spent three consecu-
tive months at the Northway plant assist
ing in the construction and completion of
the meteor, states that the Cole Eight Is
today in a better state Of final develop
ment than any new four or six motor
that has ever been placed in a Cole car.
Mr. Crawford recently gave talk on
the Cole Eight-Cylinder motor in which
he explained its PROJECTIONS He said in
part:
From actual experiment II has been
proven so far as we are concerned that
we have had less development and eN-
perimental work TO do on our eight-cyl-
inder motor 20 make il a practical COM
mercial success from the layman view
point than we experienced on either fours
or skies Of past and new design.
Some time ago we realized the grow
ing public sentiment for a power plant
which would approach the turbine con-
troll effect And when this demand as
sumed commercial proportions, through
our long established connection with
motor building specialists. we were ready
to meet the demand with a developed
product.
Public Demand Commands.
I'm the past it has been the policy to
design motor cars under the supervision
OF one man with more or less fixed ideas
of construction and engineering. But
motor car building has automatically re-
solved Itself into a democratic process.
The will of the people now rules. Public
demand for the eight is irrepressible.
But this demand, by the more conscien-
tious builders. is being met with their
responsibility for correct construction in
mind.
THE Cole Eight is today in a better
state of final development than any new
four or six motor that has ever gone
into Cole car, and Cole cars have I'M
deniably been famous for their good
motors. The carburetion of an eight
cylinder depends largely uron the design
of the manifold. and its relation to the
general construction of the motor. The
scissor type connection rod employed in
the Cole Eight permits of maximum
bearing surface, which is far in excess of
the bearing surface in positively sue
cessful skies and fours of equal piston
displacement.
THE extreme simplicity of the oiling
system in the Cole Eight motor makes it
permanently positive and efficient. The
continuous flow of power in the eight
makes it possible TO generate vastly more
horsepower with greatly reduced weight,
which from an engineering standpoint
means that the eight is headed in the
right direction

equipment which goes on the late up-to-

silence OF the old car.
