History Of Bribery Charges.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 80. Former
State Senator G. A. Hobbs is report.
ed TO have written a book in which
he gives a history of the bribery
charges against himself and Gov.
Theodore G. Bilbo Gossip to this ef-
feet has been current in Jackson for
six months, and there are those who
profess to know what they are talk
ing about when they assert the state
ment is fact Mr. Hobbs is under
stood to have furnished the data, die d.
tating to stenographer, and it Is
said The ''history" viii be off tn
press in short while.
1t viii be remembered that Senator
Hobbs was tried at Vieksburg three
years aeo on an indictment charging
him with soliciting and receiving a
bribe from Steve Castleman, of Bel
zoni, in return for his vote in favor
Of a new county of which Belzoni
was to ba the capital. He was acquit-
ted after one of the most sensational
trials ever experienced in Mississippi
A year later Gov. Bilbo, then lieu
tenant governor, was tried at jack
son on the same change, having OBJ
.ained change of~venue to this
county He was also acquitted.
When Gov. Bilbo came into his
kingdom as chief executive of the
state, IL was supposed that, as a mat
ter of couree, he would take care"
of Senator Hobbs by giving him one
of the very best offices at his dispo-
sal-but he did not, and right there
is whore the governor and his old
friend Hobbs came to the parting of
the ways. Hobbs stayed around the
capitol during the session of the leg
islature, and for some time thereaf-
ter, but never got ''crumb" from
the pie counter" He finally went
on tour through the west until he
came to the conclusion the best pana-
cea was to take the public into his
confidence.
There is much speculation here as
to what Mr.. Hobbs may know as
well as to what he will tell, but it
is insisted by those who are on the
inside" as to the compilation of the
"history' that it has not been writ
ten in vein that is friendly to The
governor.

Commission In ils news print nanrr
Investigation came 10 sudden end
when paper manufacturer refused
10 discuss the reasonahlcness of news
print prices Both publishers and
jobbers had been heard.
The manufacturers declared they
had not had time TO study tables
prepared by the commissions inves-
tigators, purporting to show huge
profits. Members Of the trade com
mission announced that despite an
apparent willingness by the manu-
factors TO cooperate in the inyest-
cation, the commissions report
would be issued in about 10 days
and that such recommendation 10
Congress would be made as we're
thought necessary.
It was said the commission would
le in position probably by tomorrow
ght to announce whether its con
deration of paper distribution
an showed an actual paper short
c and need for distribution un-
~a supervision of the commission.
IL was strongly intimated that
facts uncovered by the commission
will be turned over to the depart
ment of justice. II was announced
that il the commission failed TO re-
ieye conditions, some other govern
mental agency might be able to help.
The report to Congress, il is under
stood, will score manufacturers for
raising prices to the extent of fore
ing many small publishers out of
business.
Manufacturers proposed the dis
tribution plan at hearing two

sumption of that proceeding, inter
supted to study the plan and give

Christmas Savings Clubs.

There have been few finer things
ever thought of than the Christmas
Savings Clubs.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
idea is relatively new this easy plan
has taught more people the saving
habit within the last few years than
almost all other plans combined.
The thought was happy one. For
who doesn't like to have the assur-
ance that they will have certain
amount for their Christmas shopping.
The plan from its first inception
has appealed alike to rich and poor,
and because Of its simplicity and the
strength of its appeal it has taught
rich mems sons and daughters the
value of not spending all they have
and less fortunate men and women
and boys and girls have learned the
ease with which competence could
be secured and have become persis-
tent savers largely to their benefit.
For not near all Of the money that
is saved from Christmas TO Christ
mas in these clubs is spent in the holi-
day season. Not by any means.
Much Of the total Of these savings
come from people who have never
saved before. And with a nest egg
accumulated they start out with the
idea Of saving in dead earnest.
II you are parent and have a
child who has not such an account,
take our advice and open one--NOW.
And if you are not a saver your
self, you should have one for your
self by all means.
The knowledge just before next
Christmas that you have $50. s75,
800 or $3.50 waiting for you in the
bank is one of the finest feelings
you could imagine--and the tip is
given by one who has experienced
that feeling.
Both the National Bank Of Com
merce and the First State Bank OPP
crate Savings Clubs.
You may begin with &c. BE or any
amount you choose and next Christ
mas your entire yearly savings plus
four per cent interest will be mailed
| you in. time for the holidays.
The courteous gentlemen at either
Of these banks will be only TOO glad
.to explain any part Of the plan you
cont understand.
4 Make up your mind NOW to enter
one or both of these clubs.

The Columbus Auto Co.

In making history of the growth
and development Of the business in
dustries of Columbus it would be i'm
possible to make full record unless
considerable share was taken up
with the automobile industry, as Co
lumbus ranks first in well equipped
garages and sales rooms for almost
every standard make of car,
And when one mentions automo-
biles and Columbus together the
name of the Columbus Auto Co. in
voluntarily comes TO mind.
This well equipped garage, under
the active and aggressive manage
ment Of its progressive president and
manager, Mr.. Sam Kaye, Jr., is GER
tainly in the forefront of model gar
ages in the state.
Here is the sales agency for the
Ford and they carry in stock an
enormous supply of every part of one
of these--the car universal.
Their mechanical department has
built up an enviable reputation for
work done right.
The concern is continuation and
growth Of the Kaye Garage, estab.
lished by Mr.. Sam Kaye, Sr. Under
the direction Of the present affablC
young gentleman at its head tho
business is continuing TO make graft
