CONTEST IS WON
 BY CUNNINGHAM
Last Chapter Written In Clarke County Judge
 ship Fight
(state Capital Bureau)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 12.- The contest for office of probate judge of Clarke county was decided in favor of Judge James G. Cunningham, in- cumbent, by the supreme court in a decision handed down Thursday, Coma Garrett, Jr., losing in his contest of the election.
 The decision ended a long drawn-out fight for the office of probate judge of Clarke county. Cunningham and Gar rett were candidates for the demo- cratic nomination in 1922 and a con- test arose as to who was the nominee. The county democratic executive con- mittee ruled that Cunningham was the nominee, but this action was overruled by the state committee which decided in favor of Garrett. As a result of this action Garrett's name went on the ballot. When the general election came, however, friends of Cunningham stamped his name on the ballot with a rubber stamp and he was declared elected. Garrett carried the case into circuit court, which decided in favor of Cunningham, and this decision was affirmed Thursday by the supreme court.
 A companion case was reversed by the supreme court. This second case resulted from an effort by Cunning ham prior. to the general election to have his name placed on the ballot, as the nominee. The circuit court granted his petition for mandamus requiring such action, but the supreme court re. versed this decision today.
 This did not, however, affect the main result as Cunningham won out in the general election through action of his supporters in placing his name on the ballot
 Murder Case Resffirmed-The su. preme court Thursday affirmed on re submission the case of George Herden Pike county, who received a life sen tence for the murder of Jim Stewart This case attracted considerable in. terest recently when the supreme court reversed the decision of the lower court on the ground that the verdict of tht jury was not in proper form. The rec ord of the case as at first presented tC the supreme court showed that the jury in it's verdict found the defendant guilty as charged" without specifying the degree of murder of which he wal found guilty. The case was reversed for this reason. On resubmission, how ever, it was shown that the transcript at at first sent to the court was in correct in it's showing of the jury's verdict, and upon a correct copy beint furnished the case was affirmed.

 Alex Troy To Get Gift-Col Alex Troy, who for 45 years served as sec retary of the Alabama Bar association, will be presented with a gift as an ex- pression of appreciation of the bar as- sociation next Wednesday. The pre- sentation will be made by R. B. Evins of Greensboro in the supreme court chamber. The Alabama state bar as- sociation was recently merged with the Alabama state bar.
 Parole Is Urged-Judge Leon Me Cord and Cyrus B. Brown of Mont gomery appeared before the board of pardons Thursday morning in favor of a parole for Fergus McCardle, con- victed of assault to murder in Mont gomery circuit court and given sen- tence of eight to twelve years. He has served over two years. McCardle was convicted of shooting F. l.. Betts, who at the time was deputy warden at Kilby prison and who appeared to oppose the parole. Betts, it was stated was searching for an escaped negro convict, and stopped at McCardle's house to make an inquiry to which Me- Cardle responded by opening fire. Betts was shot in the hip and per- .manently crippled.
 Judge McCord told the board that McCardle was drunk when the shooting took place and that he believed that the mans excellent record as a prisoner is evidence of his coming back" Mir. Betts, who is now employed by Jeffer- son county, appeared before the board and vigorously protested the granting of parole to McCardle. The board has the case under advisement.

PROPOSE TO GIVE
 CARGO BOOZE AWAY

MOBILE, Ala, June 12-Chief Deputy Customs Inspector H. c. Smith, was given Surprise party" last eve ming by Captain H. N. Manson, skip per of the American steamer West Se- govia, which arrived here from New Orleans. And, take it from Inspector Smith, it was a real surprise party, so real it probably shocked even the shades of Diogenes and Carrie Nation.
 Inspector Smith boarded the ship in pursuit of duty and Captain Man son greeted him with large quantity of booze, the entire stock of the ship.
 "I want you to take this," said Cap tain Manson, as Inspector Smith stood half swooning in speeches. amazement. "This booze evidently belonged to some one on the ship before I took charge of it. I do not want it and I wish you would get rid of it for me-"
 Inspector Smith did. Later an andy. sis showed that the voluntary contribu- tion of liquor to be of very inferior quality. .

So flexible is the big 20 h. p. Paige motor.
More money will not buy roomier car.

Here's What
the Men Paige viii Do

Think of what it means to have a car that
will do 20 miles an hour. Such reserve of
power beyond your need means that you
can climb hills in high when others shift
and stall-means you can dash ahead of the
crowd whenever you want to-means
motor you will never hurt by over-taxing,
no matter where or how you drive.
Think of what it means to have car that
laughs at worn-out highways and rough de-
tours-that takes you in unjolted comfort
at good speed over roads which other cars
hesitate to travel. The luxury of Paige mo-
torine is very real to all who knowit.
Think of having motor so silent that
you sometimes wonder whether it is run
ming until the pressure of your foot brings
instant response in smooth, quiet speed.
And so smooth that pencil may be bal
anced on end on the radiator cap-so fex-
ible that you can drive from to 20 miles
an hour in high gear. -: "r ~=@

HON. Can NE Do IT.?

Now you know what it means when we
say-"Try to match its performance or it's
new price!" How can we offer so much at
such a price? The answer is simple!
Three years ago our business was $1,000
cars a year. Now, with the Paige-built
Jewett, our capacity is 500 cars day. The
saving in overhead is important, as you can
see. This saving is applied to bettering the
Paise-and reducing the price.
An Exclusive Car
Remember-there is only one Paige-the
best we know how to build. Known the
world over as fine, wonderfully perform
ing cara car all covet. There are no small
er, cheaper Paige models. You need never
explain which Paige you own.
Any of the Paige dealers will be glad to
let you drive Paige at your convenience.
Call the local dealer today and make an
appointment to try it. There's no obliga-

This removes the dirt and grease

Meaning Of Ferry

The original meaning Of the verb to
ferry is conveyed by the couplet in an
early English poem, which describes
how the king, gone accounting among
his faithful subjects, was "kaht bi the
heIes, feryed out by the feet"
In those days the verb to ferry
meant to carry. or as in the cited case
Of the king, to drag out
The use Of the noun ferry as boat
or vessel for carrying passengers or
goods across body Of water was an
afterthought.
The application Is quite logical.
Ferrying Is carrying, only that 1t Is
now restricted to carrying over body
of water. BY the same token It would
be extremely difficult to ferry" king
out by the heels.-New York Sun.
