DIGNIIY OF SENATE ALMOST VIOlATED marlboro and chesterfield cause exciting moments. .senate Votes 25 to 14 to Hiy Superin- j ten dint of Asylum Salary i:u <inn . *'1 WJVVVI -News and Courier. Columbia, Feb. IT.?A vitriolic de-' bate between Senator Evans of Marl- j boro, and Senator Laney of Chester-! held enlivened the senate' tonight dur-t ing the consideration of the appropria- i tion bill. ;lhe passage at arms be-, tween these two bordered closely on the personal and diverted attention from the attack which Senator Evans! nad been making on State Warehouse: Commissioner John L. McLaurin. Senator Evans, who comes from! Marlboro county, also the home of: Commissioner McLaurin, had offered; an amendment to the appropriation; for the warehouse system increasing! the item to $20,000 and striking from: ihe bill the authority given the commissioner to use the fees of his office; if necessary. The Marlboro Senator) told of his friendship for the system, j but said he had no use politically for j the warehouse commissioner. Hej charged that the authority granted: the commissioner to use the fees re- j ceived from storing cotton was dan-i i gerous and he wanted this stricken | from the bill. He alleged that Mr. Mc-; Laurin had not conformed to the law j in that he had not deposited the fees! last year in the State treasury, but, had pa', them in a private bank to his; credit as commissioner. He also re- j ferrt-d to the fact thai Commissioner McLaurin refused to give the names of the insurance companies which carry ihe insurance on cotton stored in the State warehouses. No Damage Done. Senator Laney and Senator Bvans I were talking about this matter when the Chesterfield sena'Or, in arejoinde*% charged the Marlboro senator with being steeped in prejudice against the -wr "."house commissioner. Th Marlboro senator retorted that the Chesteriield senator was steeped in prejudice for the warehouse commissioner, and it was then that they almost became personal. The threatened trouble blew over, however, and the debate was resumed. Senator Banks, of Calhoufc, came to the defence of Commissioner McLaurin, and vigorously denied that he had not ccmpiied with the law. He explained that the fund which Mr. McLaurin had deposited in a private bank was money sent on by the people to pay insurance on {heir cotton and for which Mr. McLaurin mailed his personal check to the insurance companies. In the course of his speech Senator 1 ~J V. O nfQ n v* Af ofroiH trt H?YclIlS 1 CI IL1CLL -LLC W ?o nv/t auaiu v-v i go back to Marlboro and tell his peo-' pie w'nat hehad said about Mr. McLaurin. He also said that he would 1 tell the people of the State the same thing during his canvass for a State office this summer. The appropriation for the ware- 1 fcouse commissioner was passed as ! recommended by the finance commiti tee, and Senator Evans's efforts toj change the item failed. During the j afternoon his amendment was laid on I the table by a vote of 31 to 2, only i Senator Hughes voting with him. Asylcm Item Discussed, The only other fight during the en- ] tire time the Senate considered the c appropriation bill at morning and-afternoon sessions, was on the salary for the superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane. The finance committee had recomended that the j, salary be fixed at $6 000. Senator Sharpe offered an amendment reduc- c ing the salary to $3,000, but this was ^ tabled by a vote of 33 to 7, the seven , votes being cast by Senators Good- ( win Harvey, Jolinson. A. B. Patterson. Sharpe. Wiglitman and Williams, Jno. l T. " " *L - - . v.: ? inuring ine utuaie un tins mciuci, which occupied the entire afternoon, ( several senators paid tribute to Dr. C.

Senator Laney paid a tribute to Dr. J. W. Babcock, the former superintendent of the asylum, and said that Dr. Babcock was not responsible for the conditions which existed at the asylum up to one year ago, and he placed the blame on the niggardliness of the past general assemblies. He said that Dr. iiabcock had asked for ?1\ money \ear after year, IIoit the Senators Voted. ihe senate, by a vote of 25 to 14 fixed the salary of the superintendent of the asylum at $6,000.

DESCRIBES ADVANTAGES OF "BAKEFOOT'' RUBBER TIRES "The new 'Barefoot' rubber, used in Goodrich Black Tread Tires and other Goodrich products," says Mr. E. C. Tribbitts, advertising director of the B. b. ouodrich 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. ?-mous grip on smooth and slippery surfaces. *4THV? ??An ! ? ft f arirAn itc movimnm luiuusn i nai it no utu j traction with a minimum of friction, j \V;hen you put on the brakes to stop j .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 lion, cling to it, as your bare foot would cling to a slippery floor. That's why we've finally christened it, and }r-ade-marked it, as 'Barefoot' rubber.

"We develop this 'Barefoot Rubber' primarily for use in our own famous 'Silvertown Cord' tire which, this year showed such marvelous endurance on the race track, at over 100 miles per hour. But, since we cannot yet supply the demand for 'Silvertown < Cord' tires, until three times as much i -.pecial machinery for its manufacture can be constructed and installed, we iecido to use this wonderful 'Barefoot' rubber in all Goodrich fabric tires, Fcr 1916.
