D. S. Bray, C. B. Anderson,

land have declared themselves
in the race for mayor for the
town of Clintwood, according
to reliable information receiv-
ed here.
Although there are only part

vote for,
So far we have been unable
to learn just who is making the
race for Councilmen.
Three candidates have de-
clared themselves for town
sergeant, K. R. Dotson, A. A.
Steele and Paul Raines. Only
one of hese candidates names
will be on the official ballot, but
either of them can be voted for
by marking off the name that
appears on the ballot and writ
ing on the candidate you wish
to vote for.

GOOD NEWS FOR
PEST KILLERS

In some unfortunate way
the impression has gotten
abroad in some portions of
Dickinson county that the
Board of Supervisors of this
county were not paying the
bounties for scalps of preda-
tory animals and birds as pre-
scribed by law. Some officials
have thought that the old
optional law still prevailed and
that Boards could still pay the
bounties or leave it alone. Both
of their impressions are entire
ly erroneous. The present boun
ty law is compulsory and bind
ing on every county in the
state. The law specifically says
that the bounties on crows, GER
tain hawks, owls and weasels
shall be paid, not may be paid,
as of old. ssa~ S
The Dickinson county board
is ready to fully comply with
the law. 1t is now .squarely up
to the wide-a-wake boys and
men to go in. to- Rid the. county
of these vermin-y nuisances.
Every farmer. and; poultry rails
er ought to have at least a doz-
en- small steek traps on poles
around their places. A piece Of
coarse wire ought to be twist
ed around one@jaw of the traps
near the bridge so as to pre-
vent catching some birds. 4
Let all pest Killers avoid
running in to the clerk with
one or two scalpsS at a time,
thus subjecting the clerks to
needless truble. Bring the
heads f the wretches in large
numbers and do not bring
them smelling so frightfully as
to stifle a buzzard. A little salt
will save trouble.
Reports are that good
many hawks still infest this
county. This being the case,
there is no reason why some
Dickinson county manxor boy
should not win the fine Park
err hammerless shot gun the
undersigned has secured as a
prize for the one killing the
most of these pests in Virgin
ia by December seventh.

Bulletin which has internation-
al circulation. This alone is
genuine piece of publicity to
any one at all acquainted with
the broad circulation of the
bulletin.
Extra reels haze been made
up to enable the whole terri
tory to be supplied with the
reels near the same time. The
theaters in the territory now
using Paramount News will re-
ceive their regular service,
while the extra issues will sup
ply the theatres not regularly
using Paramount News, but
wishing this particular picture
because of it's anticipated pop
ularity.- Notwithstanding, the
rain handicap through which
the cameraman fought, the
Southwestern Va. reels now
showing in the larger cities are
receiving generous compll-
ments.
Paramount News had ar
ranged to cover the entire ter
ritory for landscape views, ma
tural wonders and places of
historic interest, but due to
President Coolidge's unexpect-
ed Journey to Massachusetts,
it was decided not to delay the
annual meeting story with
these additions. However,
Southwestern Va. Inc. has re-
ceived definite assurance that
the entire territory will be COW.
cred with two complete reels,
which will include colleges and
every other thing of general
interest.
Preliminary arrangements
are being made to have the
10th annual meeting of the
American Legion in Appala-
CHA, Va, in August covered
by news reel photographers.
This will be of great interest
throughout the state, but it is
probable that exclusive rights
will be given to Paramount
News since they were the first
of the news reel companies to
become sold on this regions

 The chief aim and desire of the management of our plants is that our shops should be considered a good place in which to work: to maintain our record of fair dealing with everybody on the payrolls and with the people who buy our goods: to make . reasonable profit for the shareholder. These can only be ac- complained under a tariff law that will protect our industry against eff fective competition of the manu- facturer whose costs are based on the rates of wages and the scale of living abroad.
 The company I have the honor to represent has always supported the wise legislation of the republican party of this state in matters of workmen's compensation, employees welfare. sanitation and the reduction of wtaer pollution. It has aided in opposing suggested unconstructive and unwise measures. The work mems compensation law of the state. as passed and carefully amend ed by the republican party, has been a model closely followed by other states. The carefully planned measures for raising the money so that the republican state policy of pay as you go" could be maintain ed. have received the steady support of New Britain industry. New Britain manufacturers prepared the first draft of the miscellaneous corpora ton tax. which has raised from two to three times the expected amount with the least possible drain on the tax-payers' resources with mini- mum of administrative expense.
 Industry has confidence in the nominees of the republican party We believe in Hoover and Curtis. in John Trumbull. in Fred Walcott. We know we can expect fair treatment from congressman who have in the past ably supported the protective policy. We have confidence in Ersest Christ. in Thure Bengston, in Bill Lange.

The 33 best sellers in the builders hardware line are selling at more than 25 per cent less than 1923 prices. In padlocks the best sellera have decreased even more in sell ing price. There have been six new lock making industries grow up in the United States since the passage of the Fordney- McCumber act.

 "There is a very marked differ l ence between private business apd public service. In private business you must do something or be dis charged. In public service you are only discharged for something you do. In private business you must get your name on dotted lines. In public service you will be safe as long as you keep your name on the dotted lines. As long as you can pass the buck keep the paper in the pigeon hole or send it on to some superior. so long are you safe.
