tural development of the entire ma
ton, as well as by his ability and ca
pacity, the Hon. Asbury F. Lever, rep
resentative in congress from the tin
district of South Carolina, has as
chairman of the great committee on
agriculture in the house OF represen-
tatives, displayed those qualities
which fit him for this high office;
"Be it resolved, by the house of rep
resentatives of South Carolina, the
senate concurring, That the general
assembly of South Carolina does here
by present to the president of the
United States the name of the Hon.
Asbury F. Lever, as one suitable for
the position of secretary of agricul-
ture, in the event Of a vacancy in that
office
Resolved further, That a copy of
this resolution be sent by the clerk Of
the house to the president. and also
copy to each of the senators and
representatives in congress from this
State"
Mr.. Belcher thought that both of
these suggestions could wait until
there was a vacancy and the house did
nothing with either the McLaurin or
the Lever resolution.

York.
One day Gen. Bingham called to his
office a young detective of Irish de-
scent who had been making a reputa-
ton for himself but had not yet met
the commissioner. Gen. Bingham
glared at him a moment, then slump
ing over to him-the general has an
artificial leg-looked him straight in
the eye and snarled:
"You blankety blank!"
The young detective redeemed with
surprise and anger, nesitated for a
moment, and then protested.
Commissioner, that's no way to
talk to a man."
"You blankety blank" repeated
Gen. Bingham, more vehemently than
before.
The Irish in the detective would let
him stand no more.
Commissioner" he jblurted out,
taking a step forward, you're my
boss, and you're an old man, but if
you call me that again I'll knock your
block off"
Then, to his utter amazement, in
stead of summarily suspending him,
Gen. Bingham burst into roaFs OF
laughter.
Fine, my boy. fine" he shouted de-
lightedly. That's the way to talk. ]

A crowd with the antics of his trick
dog. The doctor pulled up and said:
"My dear man, how do you man,

The man glanced up with simple
rustic look and replied:
well, you see, it's this way; you

DESCRIBES ADVANTAGES OF
BAREFOOT" RUBBER TIRES

"The new Barefoot rubber, used in
Goodrich Black Tread Tires and 9TH
er Goodrich products" says Mr., E. C.
Tribbitts, advertising director of the
B. +. Goodrich company, "was first
called 'Hyper-Rubber, which it is Of
course. But one of its most valuable
characteristics, for tire (and shoe)
purposes, is its cling quanity-its ten
aoious grip on smooth and slippery
surfaces.
Through that it gives its maximum
traction with a minimum Of friction,
When you put on the brakes to stop
ne car, or throw in the clutch to
start the car, the tires made Of this
Goodrich rubber alloy instead Of
grinding against the ground for trac.
ton, cling to it, as your bare foot
would cling to a slippery floor. That's
why we've finally christened it, and
3rade-marked it, as Barefoot rub
Der.
"a silver of it will stretch almost as
much, and return to shape almost as
instantly, as a pure rubber band.
weigh a Goodrich Barefoot tire Of
any size against the corresponding
size of other makes or tire, and you'll
ind it many pounds lighter, though
many miles stronger.
Drive it, and you'll find in Good
rich Barefoot Tires liveliness, a
quick response to power, tenacity Of
traction-and all this with a mileage
capacity which will surprise and de-
light you.
I'VE develop this Barefoot Rubber
primarily for use in our own famous
'silvertown Cord tire which, this
year showed such marvellous endur-
ance on the race track, at over 100
miles per nour. But, since we cannot
yet supply the demand for tSilvertown
Cord tires, until three times as much
special machinery for it's manufacture
can be constructed and installed, we
decide to use this wonderful Barefoot
rubber in all Goodrich fabric tires,
fer 1916.
"Te also make it into Good
rich inner tubes-Goodrich motor cy-
Gle tires, Goodrich truck tires, Good
rich bicycle tires, Goodrich rubber
boots, overshoes, soles and heels, as
Veil as into Silyertown cord tires, be-
cause-in all OF these its cnaracteris-
tics of observation-disclosures
and lightness are first requisites.
I'VE heartily recommend tnat motor
lists compare Goodrich fairist prices
With prices that are quoted for same
size tires of other brands, that have
not the wonderful residence and cling
qunality of this new Barefoot rubber
And after they have done this we say
to them: Bear in mind that no tires
are 'larger-sized,' taken type for type
han Goodrich black-treads!"

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. IS. -
Tumultuous scenes occurred in the
Oklahoma house Of representatives to-
day, while the members wer voting on
an election law designed to take the
place of the famous grandfather law
recently declared unconstitutional by
the United States supreme court be-
cause in effect it disfranchised the
negro population of the State
Partisan feeling finally eliminated
in a near riot, precipitated by charges
Of corruption and the passing of the

The proposed law is the product Of

the senate and was up for final pas
sage in the house late today, with Re-
publicans and Socialistic members Of
fering vigorous opposition. Geissler
was on the floor through the courtesy
of a visitors permit.
Representative Paul Nesbit, OF
Pittsburgh county, had voted in ia
vor of the proposed law and as he
announced his vote Representative
Sans, Republican, taunted Nesbitt
with being unfair" to Republicans.
Nesbitt replied that he was raised in
a section where the Republicans had
overridden him with corrupt practices.
and that he had no desire 70 be fai.

Warm Words.
'4Tney probably took you for the
crook that you are" shouted Sans.

liar" replied Nesbitt.
Sans arose in his seat and shouted
toward the Democratic side of the
house, come on"
In an instant every member of the
house was on his feet Ink bottles and
paper weights were thrown back and
forth. The Democratic members ad-
vanced through the aisles toward the
Republican members Speaker A. C.
McCrorey left his chair and rushed
out of the legislative halls. The Dem
ocrats greatly outnumbered the Re-
publican combatants and after a few
yolleys of ink wells, paper weights
and books, the melee ended
Representative Tom Hensley, Dem
ocrat, went to the "side line and was
engaged in conversation with Geissler.
When Hensley walked away Bryant
stepped up to Geissler and demand
ed:
What right have you to be talking
to a representative on the floor of the
house?"
Geissler replied: BEG pardon, what
is your name?" Whereupon Bryant hit
Geissler in the face, according to wit
nesses, knocking him to the floor and
rendering him unconscious for several
minutes.
Bryant became lost in the crowd
that rushed around Geissler. No fur
ther disturbances occurred
