Aull in the -Newberry tjerald and News comments upon the gate of Ifce press association conflicti?f wiik the commencement of NewX&JJJ college. (Newberry college comjSieM^ment is in the forenoon of WedjEtg&gay and the press associationj ^pjieting commences that night. There do conflict. The dates were made to suit the invited speaker who is coming from the Pulitzer 'School of Journalism.?Columbia Kecoro. iWe meant no word of complaint because the press association meets, the tame week of the Newberry commencement. We had no doubt that the committee had good reason for changing the date. We have had some little experience in trying to dodge conflicting dates and know .^someth^ag of what a difficult thing it is. We wer? just regretting that we! could not be at the meeting. j timt the- record# out statement there is 'no. member, of the JL '? * association -who fcas been more regular in attendance upon the sessions -than we have. In fact we haye mis. ft.

Yorkville.,' ' - ' j No complaint f>m ,<>ur part and^ no -Intention to criticize in the remotest degree the officers of thfe association. We hope to be present at the close of the session and to take the tripjto the mountains for a day if possible for J . . ? . fUs to get away. v. . - Ac c o r di Eg vto' Record a in Columbia oa Wednesday safs^New * v*" r . . .berry counter wil}- give a -majority , for. ilanning in. the August primaries. He says the Manning sentiment is growig, in the county and that Cooper will "'tail' the ticket in this county. The Record does not give the name of this prominent farmer. '.Possibly he knows what the voters will do but if he does he is. about the only one that we have beard could tell the result, of .a. primary election .before the votes were counted. And a man with that great Tision of the future should let Ills, saame be fcnown. This reminds us that the Press and ? Banner says: "Get?. Maiming corries the bState almost every, day none in iiis ra.ce for reelection as governor, He got off tie train at Spartanburg Saturday -an his way to Charlotte and carried It again." The editor will be away for this issue of the .paper and he has left it in the hands of the "kid" and we have decided that he just as well learn now as later. We will be back in the office on ^Wednesday. Editor Aull of the Newberry Herald and News says he had two or three bales of cotton last fall and cut them in a warehouse and borrow ed money at six per cent, interest just to find out the "sensation" of paying six per cent, interest. Editor Aull says he has been paying eight and ten per cent, interest so long tbat it really was a diversion to be able to borrow money at six per cent Well, people who haive cotton to warehouse do not constitute the only class that is going to enjoy six per cent, money in the South. .Unless all the signs fail, in & short time business men as well as farmers will foe borrowing for six per cent, or less. ml -,A? Voo VnnvAnrari "me cny ui nonun wuvnvn sixty thousand dollars from a local bank at two and one-half per cent That is an indication of plentlfulness of money.?'Rock Hill Herald. We "believe that you are correct 1 Our county bororwed money for the county for less than two and a half per cent., it seems to us, and borrow ed it from tne locai i>anK. inheres;, j rate is too high and it is coming lower. We believe the next legislature : will make the legal rate six per cent. rj but in that case it would be Just as , t I -.veil to make i; sere :. The legal r.ue 1 now is seven but all of us little fej- j iows who keep the big ones going pay i eight per cent. We are pleased to see that Sena tor McLaurin is discussing some matters pertaining to the tax question. The legislature will pile up the assessments and the expenditures just' so long as it is "possible without increasing the levy, and go to the exj tent of borrowing money to do it, and then come back and tell the dear people that the taxes have not been increased because the levy is the same. And there are a lot of fool people who will swallow it at a gulp. j expenditure of the money is what (tells. The expenses have doubled in ten years and the tax levy remains very nearly the same. That is the reason we have somewhat modified our views on the question of requiring all property to be returned at its cash value. If the txable property were six JiuDdred million instead of three hundred million there are members of the legislature who would be willing to make appropriations and increase useless offices so long as it fcould be done without raising the ii?w on/i trv to fool themselves into the belief that they had not increased taxes. We have ljfeen creat-. ing entirely too many departments any way .'.We would li*.e to see that llst^pTN^fficers and boards printed and what they art receiving. It would / wafc6 up the people. * |Mow that the city does not have to pay the commissioners of public works |720 a month for street lights, and the recorder brings in pretty good revenue from his court, it seems that five should 1 have a, little more money for street (work,, but so far as we can sec about the same amount of street repairing; has .been going on for the past twenty ^?ai*.'arjtoore. and in fact, the streets [jM#'*tout-ijS the same condition they L-Wfjre-1 twenty years ago. tW? have been S' v:.?5.'-?C;. filling up holes with sand and having it -washed ^ut the first good rain long enough to have paved every street in Newoerry and we have none yet.

JLOTOAISTS XOW BIDE YELYET BUBBEB DJLLMOXB USES "Sdnewy, springy, and strong as the muscle-padded foot of the greyhound. this tough-textured, hard-wearing: "Velivet" rubber of 1916, stretches like a pure rubber baud over such small and sharp obstacles-on the road as might puncture the less elastic, and more .brittle, texture of the usual tire treads. "It therefore aDsorDs most of the' small shocks, jars, and jolt6, that not only tend to separate treads from fabric, in ordinary tires, but that also cause an incessant minor vibration beyond the capacity of steel springs to neutralize quickly enough. "We 'o not offer this wonderfully resilient "velvet" Tjctbber, used in all Diamond tires today, as a mere wnimsy 01 siyie, or 10 jnereiy 51*c ? superificial* "difference" in appearance. **Ii is a new, acd altogether different, kind of rubber, developed j through much research, from mate-j rials that give mioet flexibility, and j most response-to-power, in tires: "with a minimum of friction for maximum traction. While this color-combination now distinguishes the appearance of Diamond tires, motorists must not conclude that all black- , treads, or all red-sided tires, are of velvet rubber. "Because?any ordinary rubber can be Colored to imitate the appearance of Diamond treads, without in any sense imitating the texture, con^poei- : tion or action, of the "Velvet-Rubber" in Diamond tires.

The woman question was reopened in form of a protest backed by about ^0 commissioners and led by Dr. W. |McF. Alexander, the retiring moderator. The protest committee request ?d that -its statement of disagreement ' merely ;be filed in the records of the assemfoly, but the commissioners re*1 i fused to do this, voting to refer the matter to a special committee. Thisr committee reported within a short time, clearly setting forth. that it was:: hoUovftH thp action itaken was strictly'' according to the Scriptures. It was adopted, 118 to 9. The protest resulted from the as sembly granting certain privileges to women in the discretion of congrega- 1 tions. It was declared that too great latitude was given congregations in a! matter the protest&nts believed .< should he left to the assembly. The ; answer to this protest submitted by> the special committee follows: 1 "In answer to the protest signed by W. MdF. Alexander and others, the assembly expresses its regret that ! any of its members should even lnti- .-5 mate that any action of the highest 4 murf nf the church was not governed i by whole hearted loyalty to tke Holy J? Scriptures as the only infallible rule ' of faith and practice. "The scriptures may have their air- ' thority discredited not merely by a|] violation of their procepte, but also ' by an attempt on the part of ecclesistical courts to "bind the conscience e? ' God s people on matters ef doubtful interpretation. "f\>r over ?6 years requests bave! been made for deliverances on wo- ' man's wort in Ue cfcurck.

An almost patnful ' difference of opinion a6 to the mean ing of the passages cite'd in the protest is manifested tin the three variant reports of the ad interim committee. These things combined ' demonstrate the wisdom of the action of the assembly dn declining to make these passages the basis for detailed : legislation. ' "Having expounded the settled faith j of the church as to the teachings of ' the scriptures forbidding preaching by Tfromezl, tfce assembly as -wisely. 3 decided to leave .the question of the J - service of women in other matter* to the discretion of the session!. "Such action, in the Judgment of this assembly, exalts the authority of the word of God and removee the anomaly of the church having madel deliverances, and at the sam?e time encouraging through, its authorized ' agencies practices iff violation of these deliverances." *Canyimf the State** Abbeville Press and Banner. Governor Manning carries the State almost every day now in hi* race for reelection as governor. He got off at Spartanburg Saturday on his way to Charlotte and carried it again. He had -the -whole thing sew- : ed up in the Democratic convention j la Columbia, according to the newspapers which are supporting him. Or to express it according to their manner of saying it, he "controlled the convention." Very well. We are glad, too, that the convention was kind to (Messrs. Clinkscales, Pollock and Jennings. When the people talk, who cannot be controlled, Cooper will I * - --? iV- ^_ J +V.?il D me governor 01 iuc ou*lc, auu other boys of 1914 will have some- j thing ipleasant to think about. As strange as it may seem, the, Manning people admit that Cooper had about one hundred friends in the convention. These voted to elect the Manning men to the national convention, and along with them they voted for Manning. The Blease element even voted for Manning but did you hear of Manning showing any disposition to send a Cooper man or a Blease man to the mational convention? Not much, they don't do things that way. They believe in taking the whole hog. They "control." But the people "will not be "controlled."

This enlargement of postal' savings facilities will be very gratifying to thousands of depositors who' have already reached the old $500 limit and are anxious to entrust more of their savings to 'Uncle Sam. Another feature of the amendment that will avoid further embarrassment to the public and to postal officials is the doing .a'way with the limflt on the amount , that could be accepted from 9. depositor monthly.
