almost insignificant in numbers to the
vast armies that confronted him.

Another attempt was made at the
past Session of the Legislature, to re-
fund TO thosewho had.paid tax on their
dogs under the law of 1910, taxing
dogs. The tax was only collected
from portion Of those owning dogs,
when the law was repealed. That on
" few paid the tax aud others es-
capped by the repeal of the law was
thought unfair, so at the Session of the
Legislature Of 1912, Messrs. John F.
Mudd and F. Stone Posey, represent
ing the County in the House of Dele
gates, favored refunding the tax SO
collected and had law to that effect
passed but it was killed by Senator
Frere in the Senate. The Republican
candidates Of the Legislature last fall
on the hastings, promised if cleo ed, to
pass such another measure. A Lii
was introduced in the House by Mr..
Posey favored by Mr. Dement, and it
was passed by the House. 1t went in
due course Of procedure to the Senate
and there remained without objection
or complaint until the dying hours of
the Session, when it was killed by Mr..
Mudd. Mr.. Mudd always favored the
measure and Was instrumental in hav-
ing it pass the House Of Delegates in
1912 and also advocated the PROPOSE
ton when a candidate last fall and no
intimation having been given to the
members of the House Of his intention
the first knowledge they had was the
dead bill returned to the House Of
Delegates. His action was surprise.
