TAZEWELL PRIMARY JUDGES

The Democratic County Committee

the primary election in this county
August 22nd. These men are all well
known, and are reputable citizens
honest and contentious, and were
selected from large numbar Of citi.
zens because they We're regarded as
competent to discharge this responsible
duty.
In view of the recent exposures of
fraud in primary elections every Judge
and officer of election in the state will
be watched closely, if not suspicioned
1t behooves them TO be strictly and
serupulously exact and impartial in
all their rulings. We do not know the
political faith of these seven.v-five men
as TO the different candidates 10 he
voted fol. We are Informed that ahout
fifty of them favor the same two Of the
several candidates to be voted for in
the primary. We do not say that the
appointments We're made with a view
OF giving any candidate the majority on
The board Of Judges, but because o,
the fact that such is the case there
should be the strictest impartiality
shown in the election. Let these Judges
and officers bear in mind the RESPONSE
bility Of their duties, and so conduct the
election as to leave no room for the
slightest suspician of fraud or unfair
ness after the election is over.

SUPERVISORS AND THE DOu TAX.

The Supervisors Of this county, at
the regular meeting last week rendered
very peculiar decision in refusing to
pay several accounts for lambs killed
by dogs in the county, because they
claim the lambs were not assessed
This is fine haired technical decision
coming from this body, and one which
we cannot see how they could have
reached
The dog tax was enacted to compen-
safe sheep raisers for loss from worth
less ours. The tax collected on dogs
last year amounted to S7O5, the amount
paid out on sheep killed amounted to
about 1925, leaving balance of nearly
$500 of this fund. Why the Supervis-
ors took this position is hard TO say
They can appropriate this surplus to
the road or to the school fund, as they
may wish. Judging from past exper-
fence they are not likely to give it to
the schools. Their first duty. under
the law, was to pay for all sheep and
lambs killed by dogs. Here is the Sist
OF the law covering the case:
upon proof, the Board of Super
Visors shall enter upon their books an
allowance OF said damages, and i'm no
case 10 exceed the assessed values of
such sheep, lambs or stock: and when
said sheep, lambs or stock were not in
possession OF said owner at the time of
the.assessment the damages. shall be
assessed value Of sheep, lambs and
other stock Of like grade and quality in
the community"
Under this law it would seem to be
clear that the Board has the right. and
if so, clearly their duty to pay for the
stock killed by dogs in the county.
Under the ruling Of the Board in this
case there is little announcement 70
the payment of the dog tax, and il will
be no surprise if dog owners refuse 70
pay the tax assessed. SO it appears 70
