FALSELY ACCUSED
Dear Editor:-

Dear Editor
desire to use a small space
IN your paper as medium
through which the public may
be informed of the falsity of a
certain rumor going the rounds.
| have just been told that a
rumor is being circulated to the
effect that I, as Notary Public,
have in my possession state
ment, sworn to by John Henry
Anderson, stating that he, J.
H. Anderson, if elected to the
Office of Sheriff, would not APP
point as his deputies certain
individuals.
First of all | desire to inform
the public that this is not only
"a false rumor, but what | be-
lieve to be premeditated lie,
as no such statement, either
written or verbal, has been
transacted or suggested in my
presence.
While | do not believe for a
minute that any of the leaders
of either of the parties would
sanction any such quality of
political trickery, yet l do be-
lieve this particular rumor has
been concocted by some "two
by four" politician, either Dem
ocrat or Republican, from pure
ly Interior political motive, and
if so it is what | call dirty
politics., let it be from which
ever source it may have origin
ated, and just such petty mud
singing as this is what causes
the public to look upon politics
from the rotten practices rath-
er than from the lofty princip-
les upon which the great part
| les were founded.
Very truly yours,
r. l.. Sutherland.

HAYSI DEFEATS CLINCHC0
AGAIN LAST SUNDAY.

illness, or some intemperance
of body or spirit. But even the
best of us experience the diff
Ificulty of being always at his
best.
To be at your best physically
is a difficult achievement. The
great singer must train his
voice hour after hour before
his audience can listen to it in
comfort. We often remark:
How naturally he sings! Yet
behind that simple naturalness
are years of grinding practice.
How much more difficult
then it is to be ourselves in
that realm of intangible thing
called personality. There seems
to be a certain depravity into
which we naturally gravitate
We set out nobly to be at our
best, and fall far short of that
shining goal. We do the thing
we should not have done, and
leave undone the thing that we
should have done.
Yet out of this never ending
conflict of the spirit, comes per-
sonality, power and influence.
1t makes us what we are. It is
the secret of such tremendous
personalities as Lincoln or
Roosevelt.
Being ones true self is not
easy. But beyond its accomp-
lishments lie the rewards of
life. The great Bard was right:
TO thine own self be true, and
it must follow, as the night the
day, thou canst not then be
false to any man."
The Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1927-1930, 1927-09-22

Only two more months until
time to predict a hard winter.
Time and tide wait for no
man but time hesitates for a
woman.
Be careful where you put
your confidence and you won't
lose it.
If there were only four autos
twenty-five years ago where
did the taxi companies get
theirs?
When a man loses anything
else, he advertises for it. But
when he loses his head, he
stops advertising.

ion warns that there is peril in

propaganda to bring boards
back into fashion?

CLINTWOOD Wins
FROM CANEY.

In a free hitting and loosely
played game played at Clint
wood, Clintwood won from
Caney by the score of Is to ID.
1t was Clintwood's second vic
tory of the league season.
Caney began the game aus
plclouly by scoring 6 runs in
the first inning, and kept put
ting runners across at irregular
intervals. Clintwood, in it's scor
ing. made an unusual record by
making at least one score in
each of the nine innings. This
Shows a commendable fighting
spirit which has characterized
Clintwood's playing all season.
Her games have usually been
lost in the early innings, but
the team has always come back
STRONGER in the latter innings.
Lie Sutherland and Ted Baker
hit home runs for Clintwood.

GAS TAX
{By Carter Wormcley.)

(By Carter Wormeley.)
Richmond, Va, Sept. 10 =
From the office of the Govern
or of Virginia is released the
following bulletin:
Motor Vehicle Commissioner
James M. Hayes announces
that, on a basis of the past
year, the average automobilist
in Virginia paid an $1S.03 gas
oline tax, making a total tax
per car of 1927 per year. Com
missioner Hayes estimates that
ten per cent of the gasoline tax
was paid by out-of-state mot
orists, thus reducing the cost
to the average Virginia motor
list to S30.47 per car per year
This is approximately eight
cents per car per day.
For the above eight cents
Virginia automobilists are pro-
vided good roads and are great.
~ reducing their cost of oper.
alton, both in the consumption
Of gasoline and the wear anC
tear on their machines. This
eight cents per day paid by the
motorists of Virginia for gooC
roads is probably the best in
vestment they could make.
