One of these six types of oil
fit* your engine perfectly
High quality alone does not make an oil the
right lubricant for your car.
An oil must be of the right type (viscosity)to
meet the demands of your lubrication system,
engine speed, piston-ring clearance, etc.
The wrong type of good oil will damage your
engine and reduce its power just as quickly as a
poor-quality oil.
SUNOCO Motor Oil is made in six distinct
types—not just three or four—to guarantee a
right oil for each car.
SUNOCO eliminates carbon troubles and pro-
tects you against repair bills. We will tell you
which type fits your car.

CAUSE A REIGN OF TERROR

“Night riders'' lune caused a reign
of terror In north Alabama
The
¡trouble Is the outgrowth of the or
. gaulzatlon of a "tenants' union," liav
j ing for Its purpose the fixing of a
cental scale, which culls for one third
| of the corn anil one-fourth of the cot-
l ton crops to the landowner. Refusal
of iin.v tenant farmer to Join the union
' or obey Its mandates bring* swift pun
Ishment.
Many have been dragged
from their homes and unmercifully
1 flogged.

No farmer leaves hl« home without a
«hotgun under hl« arm and probably
a .43 Colt on his hip
“Daytime or
dark." to quote Mayor Claude Timber-
lake of Stevenson, the storm center of
the trouble “the farmers go armed,
anti they carry their shotguns on the
streets of the town« ns well as on the
lonely country n<a<ls."
Governor Kllbv has sent 30 »¡teclal
officert Into Jackson county, but their
presence seetnetl to have no effect,
and appeals for state militia have
been turned down. The county offi
rials and citizens have declared that
unless the state takes steps a citizen
army will go on the warpath with In­
structions to shoot to kill
“Caught a Tartar."
While there had been sporadic out­
breaks of night riding during which
farmers around Scottsboro, Steve, son
and Bridgeport had l>een roughly han­
dled. the trouble reached a climax on
February 24. when a band of armed
and cow let I horsemen raided the home
of Harry McGowan, near Bridgeport.
Tenant farmers In this section had
received repeated warnings to Join the
union, nnd tn anticipation of a visit
from the night marandera McGowan
had asked three nelghlxtrs to Join him
In protecting hl* home On the night

masked men appeared and demanded
that McGowan come out the four
farmers opened fire, which was re­
turned by the night riders, about ffWty
shots being exchanged. John Brown,
one of the attackers, was wounded
and captured, and later Jodie Beavers,
another member of the band, was cap-
ture<l, nnd the two were taken to Jail
at Scottsboro
The attack <>n Me
Gowan so aroused his neighbor« and
friends that the prisoner* were re­

Ina, h tenant farmer near Stevenson,
and five others who were taken out
and beaten.
Called Off.
Following these outrages state «nd
county officers made a raid Into the
Fabius section, across the Tennessee
river from Stevenson, and arrested ■
four men Identified as night rider«
< and placed them In Jail at Stevenson.
The officers were assisted by six

of the most sinister phases of the
trouble yet developed. Enraged be

riders gathered at Widow's Bar. on ,
the Tenntwsee river, near Stevenson,
with the avowed Intention of storm­
ing the town, lynching the six cltl
tens and liberating the prisoners.
Warning was sent to Stevenson and a
posse of a hundred determined men ■
waa organized. The night riders there­
upon called off their expedition.
Next day officers raided the Fabius '
section, the mountain atronghnlrf of |
the night riders. and arrested thirteen,
four of whom were placed In Jail at

There are now more than twenty
men under arrest In connection with
night rifling activities, and the officers
are continuing the raids.
While leaders of the tenants' union
have repeatedly denied any connection
with the night riding, and have con­
demned lawlessness. It Is said that the
members who reside In the Fablna ter­
ritory refused to ba controlled. Thia
section Is reported to be a center for
moonshiners, who ply their trade In
the fastnesses of Sand mountain and
they are bringing the tenants’ union
