For eight years now, the general public and the
automobile industry have learned to expect
great things of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car
Company. Each one of our annual an
.nouncennents has proved to be unusually
significant Each one OF these announcements
has created history in very definite way
and the motor car buyer has invariebly been
the gamer.
This year, we confidently predict will prove no
exception to the rule. We have produced a
car that must inevitably revolutonize the
trend of thought and practice in the SIX
cylinder field Coming directly to the point,
we have produced what we sincerely believe
to be perfect motor car.
1t will probably be your first impulse to condemn
this statement as eXtravagant and altogether
unprovable. We ask you, however, to con-
slider Straightforward statement Of the facts.
You will then be in position to accept or re-
ject our claims after thorough investigation
of the car itself.
We would first remind you that internal COM
bustion motors have been under the scientific
microscope for the past three years. The
European war necessitated immediate devel-
opnent in all fields of engineering, and the
gasoline engine has received more attention
than any other type of power plant.
1t was quickly recognized that tractors, trucks
and aeroplanes must be developed to their
utmost efficiency. The best brains of two
continents were focused on the problem.
American engineers two of our
own-worked night and day just behind the
battle line in France.
Then-slowly but surely-came the results.
Old weaknesses were routed out and discarded
for all time. Changes in design were sug-
gested applied and adopted. Constant ex-
pertinent and tireless scientific research would
not be denied-and, before long, entirely new
principles and standards we're firmly estab-
lished
The old orthodox gasoline motor was dead
deader than yesterdays newspaper. A new
King had been crowned in the engineering
world. The wheel of progress had turned.
1t was at this point that the e-DetroieMotor
Car Company made prompt decision Paige
PolOer bldntS must be brought up to the current
day-the current hoH-of engineering eticien-
cy. Good as old motors had been, they loere
not good enough Uhen science afforded anything
better.

Q@ lGe
'Ge Most Beautiful Car IN An1erzica'
Introducing a Motor That v
Developed by the War

So, without quibble or compromise, we started
at the very beginning and produced an en-
tirey new design. Just what changes were
made and just how they were made would re-
quire small volume in the telling But it is
results that you are interested in and these
we can lay before you
In power, hexibilty, Guietness and economy of
operation, the new Paige Essex Model Six
s. is, we believe, the most remarkable car
on the American market.
The last irregularity of the power impulses has
been done away With. The car travels even
ly, smoothly and sweetly at every speed. AS
consequence, vibration has been reduced to
the absolute minimum One no longer rides
in a Paige-hc floats.
The slightest depression of the accelerator pedal
brings an immediate and truly amazing re-
suit. 1t can only be compared to the un-
leashing Of mighty hidden forces. With no
sense of laborng effort-no 'buclIing or
side sway-the Essex sweeps ahead into its
full stride with the speedometer needle fran
tically attempting to keep pace.
Despite its tremendous power, however this new
motor is anything but glutton for fuel. An
improved system of carburetion utilizes every
last atom of gasoline energy, and repeated
factory tests have shown economy records
er Paige cars.
To sum it all up scientific distribution of weight
scientific alignment of working parts scien-
tific designing of all chassis units-these are
the great factors that have united to make
the Paige a superb mechanical product
These, indeed, are the factors that distinguish
between the old standards of engineering and
the new.
And now there remains but one thing more to be
said The Essex Model, as a whoLe, is strictly
in keeping with its wonderful power plant.
We started out with the deliberate intention of
producing perfect motor car-and we have
accomplished just that result. From tire
carrier to headlights, the Essex is hawless
There are no crudities, no hidden weaknesses,
no compromises.
So far as beauty and elegance are concerned you,
OF course, know what to expect. The Most.
Beautiful Car in America speaks for ITSELF
1t is an exquisite creation an artistic
achievement as we'll as mechanical master
piece.

McLAURIN WILL RESIGN.
Warehouse Commissioner to Quit His
Post.

Columbia, Jan. S.-John L. Nc
Laurin will resign as State warehouse
commissioner upon the presentation
of his annual report to the State
legislature next Tuesday morning.
In conversation over the long dis
tance telephone from Bennettsville
last night, Mr. McLaurin said:
My resignation is embodied in my
annual report. 1t will become ef-
fective when the report is in the
hands of general assemblymen and /
expect to have it on their desks next
Tuesday morning." His reasons were
amplifed, he explained, in the re-
port of the warehouse system for the
year. Copies of the report have al
ready been widely distributed.
Mr.. NcLaurin contemplated resig-
nation early last fall and so advised
J. A. Banks, of St. Matthews, Sep
tember 16. Ten days later he with
drew this proposed resignation, at
the request of the executive commit
tee of the State warehouse associa-
ton, the meeting being attended by
Mr.. McLaurin, John K. Aull, then
secretary to Mr.. McLaurin; w. A.
Stuckey, of Bishopville, Don Nc
Queen, of Bennettsville and G. A.
Guignard, of Columbia. One reason
advanced in discussing his resigna-
ton at that time was that he was
tired of public life" MIR. McLaurin
also emphasized that he had taken
an active part in the recent State po
litical campaign impelled Ito fight
for Blease,' and Il did not do it in
a half hearted way"
On September %, 1915, Mr.. Nc
Laurin asked Gov. Manning for an
audit of the accounts of the State
warehouse system. There were 49,
122 bales of cotton then in the 15S
warehouses holding membership in
the association.
The State warehouse system was
created at the special session of the
general assembly in the fall of 1914,
Immediately after the outbreak of the
European war, when economic con-
ditions were so disrupted that cotton
could not be marketed at prices
equivalent to the cost of production.
Mr.. McLaurin fathered the ware
house bill in the upper house of the
general assembly and was elected
commissioner Immediately after the
bill had been enacted into law. The
last general assembly appropriated
$4,000 for the maintenance and de-
velopment of the system, as advocat-
ed by Mr.. McLaurin.

Senate Organizes.

Columbia, Jan. 9.-This was dis
tinctly a day of organization in the
general assembly. 1t was otherwise
uneventful.
The temper was to let we'll enough
alone, and make no changes. This
was the view in the reelection OF
Speaker James a. Hoyt, president OF
the senate pro tenn. LIE Grand Walker
and in the reelection of the old staffs
from Clerks Marvin VI. Mann, of the
senate, and J. Wilson Gibbes, of the
house side on down the list to the
very humblest position.
The senate tried itself a bit this
morning on an invitation to visit
Winthrop college. After some dis
cussion, all pleasant enough. the invi-
tation was accepted by a vote OF 20
to -.
A number of new bills have al
ready been presented on the senate
side, among the more important be-
ing two relative to the State cotton
warehouse system. The senate re-
elected:
Marvin NJ. Mann, of St. Matthews,
as clerk.
R. Beverly Sloan, of Columbia, as
assistant clerk.
j.. Fred Schumpert, Of Spartan
burg, as sergeant-at-arms.
DR.. w. S. Stokes, of Denmark, as
reading clerk.
DR.. C. A. Freed, of Newberry, as
chaplin.
The senate machinery, after pray
er by DR.. Freed, was started by Lieu
tenant Governor Bethea. Mr..
Bethea's address made'a fine impress
sion and touched the temper of the
body.
First came the organization of the
senate, the selection of standing COM
mittees, then the reading Of the COM
pact annual message of Governor
Manning.
Senator Buck wanted to clear the
desks of the elections just as soon as
possible, and had a committee ap-
pointed to report on the elections to
ho hold thic session
Senator Laney also provided fol
the Inauguration of the governor on
the 18th of the month. ~.

Much of Bamberg's liquor supply
comes from Jacksonville; in fact, we
believe that most of it comes from
Jacksonville. There is, therefore
much speculation as to what effect
the election of Mr.. Cats as governor
will have upon the liquor situation
in. that State. 1t will be recalled that
Mr.. Cats was a candidate in the
Democratic primary as prohibition
list. His friends maintained that he
was cheated out of the nomination
which went to his opponent, Mr.
Knots. He entered the general elec,
tion as a prohibition candidate and
an Independent, and won the election
by a. safe majority. The following
editorial from the Clearwater ella.
News, tells of the situation in that
State in regard to the liquor ques-
ton:
Interest is growing more intense as
the time approaches for the new leg
islature of Florida to assemble in
Tallahassee, in it's probable action as
to legislation bearing upon prohlpl'
tion. II
Of the SO counties in the State As
!, of them are already dry, the seven
wet ones being Escambia, Duval,
Monroe, St. Johns, Palm Beach, Pi-
nellas and Hillsboro. The As dry
counties were made so by the coun-
ties acting independently and voting
out liquor under the local option
law. Under this law county may
be voted dry and after two years an
other election may be held and the
result may be in favor of a return to
the sale of liquor The sire of the
prohibitionists is to haze the next
legislature take action which they
hope may lead to Statewide prohibi-
ton.
superintendent Kent Pendleton, OF
the Anti-Saloon league, is enthusias-
tic over the result of the November
election with relation to the friendli-
/: ness of the members elected toward
prohibition. He claims that there
will be a safe working majority in
both houses pledged to vote for a
Statewide amendment to the consti-
tuition.
The existing local option law can
not be changed except, first, by adop-
ton of the amendment by the legis-
lature, then by vote of the people
which would make it at least 1913
before Statewide prohibition could
60 into effect.

Negroes Without Cotton.

While the South is talking of CIV
ing up the contest with the cotton
boil weevil and raising other agricul-
tural products where the pest is so
prevalent as to make cotton raising
difficult and improbable, the Char
lesion News and Courier is consider
ing the effect of this change upon the
negro population, whether them
selves planters or simply laborers.
They are particularly adapted to cot
ton culture and cotton raising is par
ticular suited to them. 1t does not
require the long and continued care
and cultivation that other crops do.
Have the negroes got the perserver-
ance to work at general crop raising?
Is there going to be enough employ
ment for them? If not, what is to
become of them? How are they to
support themselves, or how will they
be supported? Where will they go
if they leave as consequence? The
News and Courier asks these ques-
tions without attempting to answer
them. These people can find plenty
to do in the North at present. By
the time the demand for labor be-
comes slack it will be found proba bly,
that cotton raising is waiting for all
who cannot stand the pace and the
temperature of the North Water
bury American.

Governor Manning's message TO
the general assembly is conserva-
tive paper, and has received much
commendation from the newspapers
of the State. The governor does not
ask forAny radical legislation, and
economy is pleaded for. One OF the
important things the message con-
tains is the governors recommenda-
tions concerning prohibition. Inc
chief executive says that it should be
the purpose of the legislature to re-
duce the consumption of whiskey as
much as possible. Looking to this
end. the governor recommends that
the quantity. per month be reduced,
and suggests that wines and beers
should be substituted for whlskey. 1t
is undoubtedly true if the the people
who insist on drinking should use
wine or beer, instead of whiskey, II
would be better, but we do not tnlnh

tation of more than a gallon month
of any kind of alcoholic drink. 1t
might be better for a person to or
der, say sixty bottles of beer, as was
proposed last year, but this will open
a wide avenue for the blind tigers to
ply their trade. Undoubtedly, If the
legislature wants to reduce the con-
sumption of whiskey, the way to DO
(. it would be to stop all shipments en-
tirely. But we would not attempt to
say that this would be the wise thing
to do. Another important part OF
the message is that relating to taxa
tion. The State faces a serious PROB
lem here. Either there will have to
be a retrenchment in appropriations
or a larger levy. The action of the
general assembly in regard to this
will be watched with interest.

Washington. Dec. S.-Recruiting TO-
the regular army which has been eX-
ceptionally active for several days
continued at a high rate yesterday
with 1886 men accepted, New York
leading among the state with 354 en-
rollments. These figures brought the
total number of war volunteers since
April up to 2S2,6o5.
The unusual increase in volunteers
is probably due largely to the fact
that voluntary enlistment of men OF
draft age ceases entirely after nooa
December Is. However, under the new
draft regulations becoming effective
on that day men of draft age may. if
they wish. waive exemption rights
and apply to their local boards to be
indicted Immediately into the military
service. In that case they will be sen,
forward to regular army recruiting
depots, but they Will at the same time
be listed as credits on the quota rolls
of their draft districts. 1t is assumed
that many men subject to draft under
the next call are taking advantage oil
the days that remain in which the.
may enlist under "A wholly voluntary
classification.
