Two Games Lost
Over Weekend

The local ball club lost two
close games over the weekend to
the Jenkins and Hartman teams. At
jenkins on Saturday Clntwood
was on the little end of 4 to 3
count after IL well-played in
nings. Smith, former pitcher for
Hawassee College, on the mound
for Clintwood pitched superbly
and allowed but few scattered hits
over the route. Jack Sutherland
was the hitting star of the local
aggregation, collecting three safe
ties in five trips to the plate. At
Clintwood on Sunday Kilby Fuller
Of local no-hit fame pitched mas
terfully, allowing no hits during
the last five frames. The local
team, although not up to it's usual
form Extensively and Extensively,
played well in spots, but erratic
base running was the deciding fac
tor in the s to 3 victory for Har-
man. Hughes and Steele led the
hitting for Clintwood.

was a 81 Id. channel bass caught
by Herbert Rasnick. Virgil Skeen
was next best with a 26 lb. found

straight out into the Bay. Johnnie
paid out line and the fish contin-
ued until the rec! began to hum..
Suddenly, all the line was out and
the sudden stop of the fish almost
jerked Johnnie out of the boat.
The fish struggled awhile and then
started straight down. This time
he didn't stop, but took hook, line
and all with hin1-except Johnnie.
After the fishing, the party
gathered on the shore and had
real fish fry in true Dickinson
County fashion.
Skeen and Rasnick brought
home approximately fifty pounds
of fish a piece and divided them
with friends.

Peace Comes
To The
Cumberlands

Feaco mas come DdCk llCO tIiS
hearts of the South-o-the-M Noun
taineers. 1t is not exactly the
peace that "passeth all under
standing" but it is not the UNI
easiness that harried the heart two
weeks ago. John Cox with his
He'll by Ninety, still walks the
trails and keeps watch among the
pines. But John, the Mountain
Boomers believe, bears no malice
to them. After taking much
thought, they have decided that
.Bad John" watches for the fur
riners. Something has given him
to understand, they argue, thae
trespassers from the settlements
are coming in to break the peace
and dignity of the hills.
Sometimes John meets a travel
er as he patrols the mountain
crests and valley streams. Then
he whips out a gun, stiffens in a
crouch and glares. The instant
that he recognizes native, he
smiles and explaines that he
thought he saw a furriner.
John is not unacquainted with
the lands that lie beyond the blue
mountain rims. And his name is
breathed in awesome whispers
along the Tug Fork in Pest Vir-
ginia and his fame is blown among
the grand hotels and gambling
clubs of Cincinnati.
And this is another tale he
tells:
II once were making liquor just

Board Allows
Schools $4,000


of Supervisors held their regular
monthly meeting. The morning
session was taken up with routine
affairs. A little unusual perhaps,
was the number of sheep reported
killed. The Board allowed claims
on 13 at an approximate estima-
ton of $500 per head.
At the afternoon session, Supt.
Sutherland came before the Board
and stated that the amount of
money for school purposes next
year was not sufficient and ali
extra appropriation of $11,916.O0
was needed. In making his re-
quest for more funds, the Super
intendent specified the items such
as repairs, equipment, school sup
plies, rentals, etc., for which mon
ey was needed. During the pres
entation of his request the Super
intendent stated that he had asked
the various corporations in the
county for contributions and had
received reply from only one,
the w. M. Ritter Lumber Co. The
officials of Ritter, he said, stated
that they could give no aid.
Supt. Sutherland asked Lee.
Long, Vice President of the
Clinchfield Coal Corporation, for
his opinion on this item. In a
speech of great length, he COM
planned about the attitude of Dick
enson County officials during the
disturbance at Clinchco more than
a month ago. To Supt. Suther-
land he said in part: 81 don't see
how Mr.. Sutherland or anybody
else can ask the Clinchfield Coal
Corporation for anything and feel
good about it." Commenting on
the Clinchco affair, he said that no
official of Dickinson County had
been to him during the recent
trouble. When told the amount
Of delinquent taxes in Dickinson
County he said, "What if the
Clinchfeld Coal Corporation did
not pay taxes for two years? That
is something for all of us to think
about" In the course of his dis
cussion he also complained about
the Department of Public We'll
fare. The distribution of welfare,
he said, looked bad in Dickinson
County. "This is situation which
must change before / can do
everything that is wanted to be
done," he continued in part. No
one, however, joined Long in his
protests or complaints G ainst
county officials. The only favor
asked, was the use of the Clinchco
school buildings rent free, and
that favor was not granted. The
county will continue this year as
to pay the Clinchfield
Coal Corporation rent for the use
of the Clinchco school buildings
which are owned by the Clirsh-
field.
Of the $11, 916.0O requested by
the Superintendent of Schools, the
B o ard appropriated 100000.

STORES MADE
AVAILABLE GO
UN0CCUPIED
Seems Applicants Have
Changed Mind

The Brewster Project stores which
are unoccupied may be lost to Race
merchants according to an an
nouncement made by Henry S.
Dunbar, manager Of the Brewster
Homes.
The Michigan Chronicle received
a letter from Carl Bradt of the
Housing commission several weeks
ago indicating the same fact, It
appears that the host Of Negro mer-
chants who sought applications and
expressed their desire to rent the
stores in the project have had a
change Of mind.
Mr., Bradt declaIsd in a letiei
which was published few months
ago that the Housing commission
had been flooded with letters and
petitions demanding that the stores
be made available to Negro mer-
chants first. Now that several stores
are still unoccupied after having
been completed over a year, the
authorities are eager to rent them.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Dunbar
that Of the 700 families already in
the project there is minimum Of
$4,000 spent each week granting
that each family only earned $40
week. There is room for furni-
ture store, shoe store and other re-
tail businesses, Mr.. Dunbar de-
clared.
