WARM FIGHT fOR
 CITY OFFICE GOES |NT0 STATE COURT.
"0uts" in Fight Against "Ins" Seek Mandamus to Force Publication of Financial
 Statement
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALO Mont tcOmery, Ala, March 10


 Following the filing of the answer of the city commission Judge Leon McCord Saturday set next Wednes- day as, the day for the consideration Of the petition of Lawrence H. Lee, C. l.. Patterson and J. Johnston Moore for writ of mandamus re- quirlng the presen. city commission to publish a statement of the city finances each year since 1919. The petitioners are candidates for city commissioners in opposition to the incumbents: w. E. Gunter, Jr., James II. Hardaway and w. J. Drum, who seek reelection.
 The original petition alleged the law requires the city government to publish regular statements regard ing the city finances, but th-t the present commission had not complied with this provision. The city com mission answered that it had com piled with. the law to the letter by publishing d financial statement each year in pamphlet form for distribu- tion among the citizens. It declared the statement had not been pulp .shed in newspapers because there was no provision for the payment of cost of publication and news papers refused to handle it except on the payment of the legal ad- vertising rates.
 The city commission further charged that the petition is bit of politics indulged in by the pe- titioners in furtherance of their cam paign for city commissioners.
 Judge McCord had set the con sideration of the case for Saturday but postponed it until next Wednes- day when attorneys for the petition CTS filed demand for a statement of the city financial condition al this time.

Just the moment you apply Mentho-Sulphur to an itching, burn. ing or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says noted skin specialist. This sulphur preparation. made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such . quick re- lief. even to fiery eczema, that noth- ing has ever been found to take Its place.
 Because of its germ destroying properties. 1t quickly subdues tho itching. cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up. leaving a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly erup- tions. rash. pimples or roughness.
 You do not have to wait for im- provement. It quickly shows. You can get little jar of Rowles Mem tho-Sulphur at any drug store.-Adv.

Scent LIQUOR PLOT
IN CHEAP TOBACCO
Dealers Charge Druggists
Cut Prices to Increase
Whisky Quotas.

Charges that large group of
wholesale druggists were cutting
prices on tobacco to increase sales
and. in turn, obtain greater allow
ances of medicinal liquor, were made
at the closing session yesterday after
noon Of the convention of the Tobac-
co Merchants Association at the
Willard Hotel.
The Treasury Department, which
has ruled that wholesale druggists
may handle quantities of liquor up to
10 per cent of their bona fide drug
business, was asked in q resolution
adopted by the tobacco men to elimi-
nate cigars and cigarettes from the
bona fide drug business" sales.
Intent of Law.
Charles Dushkind. counsel for the
Wholesale tobacco men, said that it fs
not believed to be the intent of the
ruling that cigars and cigarettes were
10 be regarded as included under the
Treasury Departments provisions.
Since the wholesale druggists have
been allowed to enlarge their sale Of
liquor by increasing their sale Of ci
gars and cigarettes. it was charged.
many of them scattered throughout
the country have entered upon veri-
table debauch of cigar and cigarette
price cutting, causing decentralization
OF legitimate business.
So far as their industry is concern
ed. the tobacco men say, the drug
sists may sell as much whisky as the
prohi bition authorities allow but they
contended that the quantity should
not be based upon the extent to which
the druggists can increase their sales
OF tobacco, for this places a premium
on unfair competition and tobacco
trade Decentralization.
