GENERAL 

 ''It is the second ten thousand miles that makes the big hit" That General Cord tires run far beyond the | 0, OO0-rnile point is amply proven by the experience of one of the leading taxi cab companies of Birmingham and many other users of these tires in this city. In some in- stances they have gone the, full 20.0O0-naile route.
 That owners look on the General Cord as tire which enhances the beauty of their cars- that they enjoy it's comfort--and that they take as much pride in its name as they do in the make of cars they choese-is perhaps quite as important as its reputation for giving unusually long service.
 All sizes of Cord tires are carried in our stock (Regular Balloon and Balloon for present rirns) and delivery and service can be given with minimum of delay.

WHOLESALE charges have been made that
brides have been offered in an attempt TO
corrupt certain city and county officials.
The officials admit they have been APP
preached. They say they know the men who Of
fered the money. But THEY WILL NOT DIS
CLOSE THESE NAMES.

makes the charge that certain persons" had
sold to applicants, for sums of $500 and up,
copies of the supposed list of questions to be
asked in the police sergeants' civil service exam
nation. HE REFUSES TO NAME THE MEN.
Tom Dobson county commissioner, charges
he was approached by man who offered him
$4,000 if he and Commissioner Gaines would
vote against Ewing Covin as the new prosecu-
tor. HE REFUSES TO NAME THE MAN.
PROSECUTOR MALCOLM DOUGLAS is entrusted
with the job Of enforcing our laws IL he will turn
to Volume /, Section zoos in the Remington Code he
will find a statute reading:
Every person Who after the commission
of any felony. shall harbor. conceal maintain
assist any principal felon, accessory before the
fact or shall give the offender any other aid know.
ing that he had committed felony or had been
accessory before the fact, with intent that he
should avoid escape detection, arrest, trial and
punishment shall be deemed an accessory after the
fact and shall conviction thereof, be imprisoned
in the county Jail not more than year or be
fined in any sum not exceeding $500"
IL Mr.. Boyle and MIR. Dooson know the names OF
the men who offered bride money-and they
say they dot is clearly the job of Prosecutor Douglas
to take action against them
Either they must be made to name the bribe-givers
and thus clear the names Of dozens Of other now
under the cloud of suspicion, Mr. Douglas must
proceed the statute specifies
The public will NOT be satisfied to see him sit idly
by and say "his office will not act in the matter"
That is HIS JOB
EFFORTS are being made at the city-county
1 building to have Dobson, the retiring COM
missioner, appointed county purchasing agent
The great game of politics works in ways that
are strange.
What better letter of recommendation for
public consumption would new purchasing
agent desire than the story of how he, as coun-
ty commissioner had been made an offer of
$4,000 for his vote and had turned it down?
If Tom Dobson is sincere in his statement
that this bride was offered to him, it's his job,
under the law, to tell who offered it.
It's Prosecutor Malcolm Douglas job, if Dob
son refuses, to make him tell.
If THEY DON'T DO 1T, THE PUBLIC
ALREADY OVERFED ON SUCH SCANDAL
