publicans to go back on their former
spirit of the higher the better.
Incidentally, 1t would be most mislead-
ing if the more innocent part of the pub
lie should assume that all Democrats, in
the Senate and elsewhere, are sincerely
working for lower rates. 1t is true all
Democrats are talking that way, or else
saying nothing. The hard fact, how
ever, is that some Democrats are work.
ing with quiet energy for high rates.
At this moment. the chances for lower
bill depend largely on whether the Sem
ate Democrats sincerely stand for a
lower bill and refrain from Attempting
quiet trades for higher duties. If all
the Democratic Senators could be surely
counted on, all the way through, in that
event 1t would be quite safe to be conf
dent the Senate bill would be reason
able.

MUD BOUND.

Clintwood, Haysi and Grundy are
mudbound, just now, on account of
the bad condition of the road running
from Coeburn through Clintwood,
Haysi to Grundy, which was taken
over by the state-and that is all it
did do. Some parts of this road has
been graded, the greater part how
ever, is scraped enthusiastically and
some not at all. The Ridge road is
said to be full of deep ruts and the
axles of cars drag the ground. The
road out of Haysi is said to be in as
bad a condition. The bus line only
runs one trip a day from Grundy, it
is reported, hence missing the trains
and forcing lay-over at Haysi.
Business has fallen off consider
ably--and Christmas times-at these
three towns.

OUR NEW HEAD

We do not mean that the editors
of the Herald have new heads (no
doubt they need them) but we refer
to the heading of the Dickinson
County Herald. We were delayed in
getting the heading engraved in
in time for the first issue, and was
forced to use makeshift. 1t is nice
heading, not too large nor too small
and we hope our readers will like it.
Some of them may think the editors
need new head, which may be true,
but our heads were gifts from God
and we will continue to believe that
God knew good thing when he saw
it, and we believe he knew his bust
ness when he built our heads. We
are satisfied.

eys in Southwestern Virginia and
East Tennessee lost approximately
$4,000 during November through
dealing with a man representing him
self to be produce dealer of Phil
adelphia, Pa, it was learned Satur-
day from produce dealers in this
city, according to the Herald-Cour-
Ter, which adds that: 1t was also said
that rumors in regard to the produce
losses were in part responsible for
the Bank of Clinchport closing it's
doors last Thursday morning and
placing it's affairs in the custody of
state bank examiners.
According to details revealed here
by Jeff Rogers and Robertson, who
are connected with a local produce
concern, the dealer came into this
section in early November and ar
ranged to buy turkeys on sight draft,
having them shipped to him in Phil
adelphia for sale on the Thanksgiv-
ing market. The turkeys We're sold
in Philadelphia and New York, but
payment was refused by the produce
dealer on sight drafts drawn upon
him by produce dealers in this sec
ton.
The, Philadelphia produce dealer,
it was stated, was caught by fall
ing turkey market and forced into
bankruptcy, leaving dealers in this
section whose drafts had been reject
ed for payment losing the difference
between their drafts and their share
of his assets.

CHRISTMAS ROBBERIES

AS Christmas draws near the thieves
are getting busy. In all parts of the
state numerous burglaries are report

A few nights ago the store of Mr..
Looney, located a few miles from
Grundy was entered and property
stolen amounting to about $500.
Pulaski blood hounds were put on the
trail but with no results. We learn
that Looney lost $500 in cash besides
the goods that were stolen.
Banks are the safest place for

their stores and dwellings, is mys-
terry. Banks are robbed, but they are

SERVICE.

Last week we received notice from
James M. Hayes, head Of the motor
vehicle department, notifying us that
we were due to pay license tax on
three automobiles Maxwell, an
Overland and Flint. We did own a
Maxwell, Ford coupe, and an Over
land several years past, which were
sold and transferred to the purchas-
ars. according to the directions Of
the Motor Department, but for some
unknown reason Mr.. Hayes did not
have time to attend to his official
business, hence these cars are still
charged up to us as the owner. Now,
this is only one instance of negli-
gence on the part of the motor de-
partment, and the Lord knows how
many cars are charged to the wrong
persons, and how much.
Mr. Hayes will step down and out,
but should have been fired long ago.

SP0ONED THEMSELVES
OUT OF CLINTW00D JAIL.

a sentence for non-support of his
family, and Cebert Grizzle, of Nora,
Va, under sentence to the reform
atory, broke out of the Clintw6od jail
few nights ago and made good
their escape. 1t is said that the fu-
gatives worked their way through
the wall by the use Of a teaspoon
handle and the handle of frying
pan. So far as we know, they have
not been heard from and are both
still at large.
We have heard of many Jail breaks
but if our memory serves us right,
it is the first time that we have ever
heard of anyone digging themself
out of Jail with spoon handle. Could
it be possible that they found a weak
spot in the wall of the Clintwood
Jail?

hands of some youngsters who lack
common judgement. 1t should be kept
in mind that Clintwood has no fire

high. This Christmas pasttime should
be segregated to sections where
there will be no danger of setting
buildings on fire, and should be curb
