GOODRICH ANNOUNCES
THOUSANDS IN AWARDS

Akron, O., May 22.-Although Good
rich Silvertown Twin Gable Cord tires
are already the accepted tire of the
racing driver, and are bought and
paid for in every case, a generous
recognition of the selection by out
right purchase by drivers of racing
cars of the Silvertown Twin Cable
Cord tires, for use in contests under
no influence of money consideration
for so doing, has just been announced
by the +. f. Goodrich company.
The American Automobile associa-
ton, official association of car own
ers of this county, has prepared rules
to govern the determination of the
actual champion for the season OF
nineteen sixteen and will be the sole
arbitrator regarding such award.
The Silyertown Cord tire is univer-
sally recognized as the type of con-
struction insuring best results In
speed contests and is almost univer-
sally used by racing drivers. There
is no reason why the Goodrich COM
pany should extend any award for
the purpose of inducing the use of
the Silvertown Twin Gable Cord tire,
and it does not, but gives outright
without a string tied to it of any kind
whatsoever, ten thousand dollars di-
vided between the authoritatively de-
termined champion, the second and
third in order quite irrespective of
the make or kind of tire that may
be used by said winners.

THE OFFICE Of
DEACONES
RESBYTERIANS WILL tIEkR RE-
PORTS FROM COMMITTEES ON
SUBJECT - POLITICS AND THE
CHURCH..

Orlando, Fla, May 22.-The general
assembly of the Presbyterian church
in the United States, which yester-
day voted that women should not
occupy pulpits in the south, tomorrow
will take up the question of whether
the office of deaconess shall be Gre
ated.
The matter will come before the
assembly in the form of two reports
from the committee appointed last
year to study the question of Ngom-
ans position in the church. The
majority reported in favor of contin-
uing the present custom, but the
minority believed women should be
granted greater latitude in their
church work.
Another report expected to create
great interest is that of the Rev.
S. j. Jacobs, the representative of the
assembly to the meeting of the ex-
council of churches. The 1915 as
sembly at Newport News took ex-
ceptions to the action of the federal
council in indorsing certain peace
propaganda of the present federal
administration stating that it APP
peared that spiritual force was at
tempting to encroach upon temporal
power
Three invitations for the 1917 as
semblt are expected - Birmingham,
Chattanooga and Durant, Okla. 1t is
expected that the contest really will
be between the two first named, as
the mileage expense for a meeting
west of the Mississippi is a big item |
Visiting ministers filled local pull
pits today and the celebration of the
of the American Bible So
ciety took place.

500 REWARD 500

The readers OF this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that Is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally
and acts thru the Blood On the Mucous
Surfaces of the System thereby de-
stroying the foundation Of the disease,
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting ma
ture in doing its work. The proprie-
tors have so much faith in the curative
powers of Halls Cattarrh Cure that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that 1t fails to cure. Send

Nc MILAN

Mcmillan, Okla, May 22.-We have
been having the finest weather this
year for farming there has been in
several years, and all the farmers have
prepared their land in better shape
than ever before and until last even
ing we had not had a rain in several
months that washed the land to
amount to anything, but late Saturday
afternoon we had the big rain, all
branches and creeks were out of their
banks, but fortunately the damage to
growing crops was very light in this
part. Nearly all cotton is planted and
most of it is up to a good stand.

the decoration now instead of the 9th

plentiful at this time.
The entertainment at Tyler Friday
night at close of school was quite a

case will be out of court and the
CORPORATION commission may make
any rate it shall see fit above the &c
rate that was enjoined.
The corporation commission can
not make a rate to relieve the people
of the SC rate in the interim pending
decision by the supreme court, for
that would abate the case.
Would Settle the Case.
In seeking to secure a stipulation
in this case, based upon rate of
21ac mile for passenger fares, the
attorney general and some others are
proceeding on the theory that this
will be best for the people Of tie
state and for the railroads as well,
in that it will settle the case and
fix rate that is apparently fair as
measured by the decisions of the
interstate commerce commission in
other cases in like territory.
Any rate of less than 2Rc a mile
that may be installed by the cor
poration commission after the SUI
preme court shall have decided this
case will probably bring on more
litigation by the railroads and more
expense to the state, and will further
development and discourage
capital in Oklahoma This is a part
of the argument for settlement by
stipulation at this time.
1t is understood that the outlook
Just now for any settlement by stip-
llation is very poor.

BAPTIST CON
VENT|ON TOPS
ALL RECORDS
FIGURES OF SOUTHERN CONFER.
ENCE SHOW ATTENDANCE OF
2,125 DELEGATES - SOME I'M
PORTANT WORK.

Asheville, n. c., May 22.-The
1916 Southern Baptist convention,
which will close tomorrow, has had
the largest attendance in its history.
according to figures given out here
tonight, showing at 2,125 delegates
registered since the sessions opened
last Wednesday. The largest prev
ious attendance was 1880.
Religious services occupied the
time of the convention today and to.
night Members of the convention oc-
cupied the pulpits of virtually every
Protestant church in the city.
The Woman's Missionary Union,
an auxiliary, held special exercises
today in honor of Miss Fannie Il. S.
Heck of Raleigh, n c., who for fif-
teen years was president of the
union.
The woman's union will give to-
morrow morning over to the council
Of field workers.
Important Questions Determined.
The convention itself it is expect
ed, will wind up its meeting Monday
afternoon The convention has al
ready determined many of the most
important questions on this years
program, action taken including:
Consolidation of the monthly publ
cations of the home mission board
and of the foreign board.
Decision not to unite with other
denominations in maintaining n
school in Shanghai, China, for mis-
sionaries' children.
Retention for another year of an
education commission instead of es-

tabishing board similar to the for
eign and home boards.
Discontinued the two field secretar-
les of the foreign mission board and
recommended that the foreign board
retain its corresponding secretary and
one other office secretary instead Of
two, as at present.
Consolidation Postponed.
Postponed until next year the ques-
ton of consolidating the home and
foreign mission boards.
Broke a precedent by allowing wom-
en- to address the convention and
heard the statement by DR.. ]. Il. Gam
brell, a retired preacher of Dallas,
Texas, that "some day women will
be members of this convention"
The addresses by women were
made by Miss Kathleen Mallory Of
Montgomery, Ala, corresponding
president of the Womans Missionary
Union. who spoke briefly on the work
of the womans training school at
Louisville, Ky, and introduced Mrs.

some confidence in the commission"
said Colonel Love. The rates are
going to be made by the commission
in the end, and that is all there is
to it,
Colonel Love said a great deal
more to the same general effect. His
opposition to making an order while
the cases are still on the docket of
the federal court may result in no
order being made and in trial of

End Not Far Of.
The end of the cases, so far as
the trial court is concerned, is not far
off. This month will, no doubt, see
all the evidence in. Then it is not
that Judge Youmans will re-
quire thirty to sixty days for consid-
Grafton of the record, but this is by
no means certain.
1t seems to be generally believed
by railroad men and representatives
of the state that an injunction Will
be granted by Judge Youmans against
the &c passenger fares. If the judge
were to go further and set minimum
it would, no doubt, entail a laborious
study of voluminous record. He is
not expected to do that. An injunc-
ton against the rate made by the
will afford the relief that
is asked by the railroads in these
cases.

But as soon as the injunction shall
be ordered by Judge Youmans, assum'
ing that he shall so decide the case,
the SC fares will be Immediately in

rates will remain in effect until the
case shall have been decided in the
supreme court. That will be probably
eighteen months to two years in the
future. The supreme court will PROB
