Why an Eight? Continuous and Even Flow of Power The eight cylinder motor has a reason many reasons. And the process of evolution whereby the Cole Motor Car Company arrived at the Eight is one staircase of logical facts. To begin with, let us take this one particular fact as a. prim! basis: Ever since engineers have been building internal combustion motors their biggest problem has ht<m the lapse or interval or power-break between cylinder explosions. A power-break or lapse in the action of a motor is a very bad-a very uncomfortable-a very destructive thing. It racks the mechanism not only of the motor itself, but of the entire car as well. It jerks the life out of bearings and, worst of all, it wears passengers out and makes motoring uncomfortable. So engineers soon* found that they would have to get rid of lapses. It rides like a cradle at all speeds; its spont aneous |ow of even .energy. is. ceaseless, and silent, and it travels all the way on high. PRICE $1785.00 * . i . * -- SEE THE CAR RIDE IN IT!

Ho declared that team-work, and co-operation arc abso lutely necessary before you eau hope to solve thone problems and that thea?* are uuceBBary now more than ever be fore. Mr. Houston said- that this section is committed to the two crop Systran, cotton and com. principally because tlie farmers do not know what to do with auy other c.ropB they might rafse.

"And no section looks better to mo thar, light here in the south." Afternoon Exercises. Governor Manning arrived in Pen dleton yesterday at 12:45 o'clock and after dinner he delivered an address to a largo crowd. The seats on the green were not half sufficient to ec comodate tho audience *:nd they stood all around the stand a.* J the edges of the crowd. Governor Manning stated that the hud com?, to Pendleton to introduce Mr. Fairfax Harrison, hut since ho arrived too lato for thia, lt had been asked of him to make a~Speech. He -LOOK Legan by prying honor to the Karin . OIK' society for what lt had done for thc educational and agricultural ad vam < incut of the people of tl v Slat*. "This society has contri bu ti-d much to the citizenship of this section of the ?tate," said (lev. Mannlug, "and V ? purpose of tho founders of 100 years ago is just aa true today as it was then. I learned willi regret that Pre>rl<Jout Woodrow Wilsou would be unable to (.'tend tills celebration and would have considered it a great hou or to tho ?tutu If it hud boon so he could, I know he ls proud of the people of South Carolina and we are proud of him. In tho Democratic ' convention in lialthuore the South Carolina delegation ntpod uti tue time for Mr. Wilson and lt was my pleas ure to announce that every single mun voted for the man that toduy stands as one of tho greatest presidents this uutlon hus ever had and cine who ly proving to bo ene ot th<< greatest mon thc world has ever known. In these troublesome times we must feel proud bf a mau who ?as protected American rt sh Ut and citizenship and has kept I this lounlry out of a bloody sriug glc." Th iv. tributo to President Wilson brought loud applause. Continuing Mr. Manning said: "It is a credit to South Cand?na to have Secretary Houston to ?onie Into the state ^unannounced and to make a personal investigation of condition* with the object. I know, to further agricultural conditions In Soatfv Car olina." "Hight here lt would he well for US' to review some of the records mud?.- by South Carolina along agri cultural lines. She elands leading the world In tho number of buchels of corn made on one acre; look at Drake and Jerry Moore, thoy have taught the people of the United States how to raise corn. Down in lancas ter thoy aro milking 2,(300 ponndB of colton to the acre with no nrtlflch.l fertilizer; and five bales of cotton aie said to have been mad? on one ac:re in Lexington county. In her quality of sea island cotton this old stnto is leading as also in the production of rice per aero, having tho record of 110 bushels. Looking at some of those figures lt ii no wonder that alie has advanced from the 2.4th to tho ISth place III tho production or agri cultural products. In thc increase for thc past 10 years South Carolina stands second. These ligures may be misleading, however, because the averages In tho state nra not what they should ho." Continuing Mr. Manning compared condition?? existing foriny with. thOSS of this time last] year, stating that tho war completely 'demoralized everyone In 1914. Mr. Manning atated that the present price of cotton was nut ting some money into the pockets of the nlanter and that this was !?. .nglrig .about a contented condition. He re viewed figures chowing now much tills state spent for commercial ferti lizer In the year 1014. which amount ed to aproxlmatoly $31,000,000. He stated that the farmer must stop spending so much for fertilizer and must lmpr|pvo hi? land. Ho thoh I discussed the question of the boys and I girls flocking from the farms to the >cjtles and said that this-was a probr lem to be solved. Ho stated that the. products of the farm had to be in creased so that the boy and twirls In tho couutry wou'd bo able to make as much and livo under tho same con ditions 03 in the cities. Governor Manning closed his ad dress by stating that he would favor tho passage of a law which would en able the farmers to convert their land Into collateral. Also the rural credit syotem which would enable thc 43 per cent of tho white-people in South Car olina on firms to own their own land. He stated that he would ..ivor an appropriation to bc used far the eradication of Gio cattle tick lr. South Carolina.
