AWARDED 500 FOR
Loss OF HORSE
Case Arises Out of Unusual Acct
dent on Pound River

In Trial Justice court here last
Friday, Pridemore Mullins, of
Freezing, was awarded judgment
for $4,000 against John Artrip,
of Dwale, for the loss of his horse
by drowning.
Mullins, who lives on Pound
River, near the mouth Of Georges
Fork, alleged that on the morning
Of April Fl Artrip called from
the opposite side of the river to
his 11-year old son, Odell, to I'M
hitch the Mullins horse from a
sled, where the boy was hauling
~ock from a piece of ground, and
set him over the low water bridge
over which the water was flow
ing to a depth of three or four
inches. The boy started to ride
the horse over the bridge to aid
Artrip, and the horse lost his
footing and plunged over the up
per edge of the bridge and into
the river and drowned. The lad
was swept through one of the
drain pipes beneath the bridge
and down the river by the heavy
tide. Bill Willis, who happened on
the scene at the time, plunged in
to the water and rescued the boy.
Mullins, a WPA road worker,
was absent from home at the
time.

COUNTY To MAKE
DRIVE FOR TAX
COLLECTIONS
Attorney J. C.. Smith Named De-
linquent Tex Collector by The
Board of Supervisors


The Board of Supervisors at it's
regular meeting Monday appoint
ed j. c. Smith, former Common
wealth's Attorney of Dickinson
County, as attorney to help in col
lection of delinquent taxes.
Ersel Edwards and Ellie Null
ms are still retained as delinquent
tax collectors. However, after the
tax collector has exhausted all
non-legal methods to secure pay
ment, the matter is to be turned
over to Mr.. Smith, who will
bring legal action.
Opinion throughout the county,
as expressed to county officials as
a whole, would indicate that the
most immediate solution to the
problem Of the county's financial
dilemma is the collection of thou
sands of dollars of unpaid taxes.
With the help of Mr.. Smith the
Board of Supervisors is urging a
vigorous campaign for the collec-
ton of all delinquent taxes so
that all phases Of county govern
ment will not suffer from lack
of funds or efficiency impaired.

SOME 4500 QUALIFY
To VOTE IN THE
COMING ELECTION

500 Qualified Votes For Novena-
Der Election
A steady trickle of poll tax pay
ments came into the Treasurer's
office during late April and early
May. That trickle broadened to a
heavy stream on Saturday, May
4-the deadline.
Information is that approximate
ly $500 persons are now qualified
to vote in the November election
in Dickinson County. The Repub-
iicans openly claim a majority Of
500 qualified voters, and assert
hat Fred Parks will carry Dicken
son County over John Flanagan
by that figure in November. Not
since 1926, when Sam Hurley won
the county by 70 over George c..
Peery, have the Republicans gain
ed a clear-cut majority in Dick
enson.
Saturdays furry of payments
was exciting to local politicians.
One veteran Republican strated a
rumor that BYRD money had
been sent in to pay Republican
taxes, and the rumor was caught
and spread by a veteran Demo-
crat.
Treasurer Tom Bates, of Wise
County, said Monday that no par
ticular effort had been made to
qualify the Republican vote in
Wise county.

SUPERVISORS HAVE
BUSY DAY MONDAY
Appropriation Made For Health
Unit; J. C. Smith Appointed
Delinquent Tax Collector.

Delinquent Tax Collector.
Sometimes Old lady Rumor hits
the mark, and at others she miss
es by a long sea mile On Monday
the Board of Supervisors proved
the old girl right by naming J. C.
Smith as delinquent tax collector
and restored the appropriation for
the health unit.
Not only did the governing
body perform these acts, but
of business besides.
Dogs had been active among
sheep in April, and forty sheep
claims were paid. With a view to
having deer in the county, the
following act was entered:
"Be it resolved, that the Board
of Supervisors at Clintwood, Va,
on the 9th day Of May, 1910, I'M
arimously passed a resolution pro
hibiting dogs from running at
large in any month of the year.
This order effective 80 days from
passage, 1910, and shall remain in
effect till such time as the Board
may see fit to rescind it. For the
first offense the owner will be
notified, and asked to keep him
up, and the second offense there
shall be a fine of $3.50 without
cost, and for the third offense it
shall be a misdemeanor, and left
up to the court as to what the pen
atty shall be. This law to be en-
forced only by the State game
wardens and forest officers"
The United States forestry SER
vice will cooperate in making the
act workable. If dog is found
straying in the forest, he will be
taken and advertised so the own
err may recover him. 1t is said
that sportsmen in other counties
find this a protection to their
dogs.
The appropriation for the health
unit came with two strings. One
was that sufficient delinquent I'd *
be collected by July to foot tie
bill. The other was that Creed F.
French be given a job as Santa
ton Officer in same county.
County officials Fred F. Fetch
er and Gallie Friend received IN
for office reAt.
These items had been stricken
from the budget at the April mdet
ing.
The tentative budget for sd &C.
ondary roads was approved las
presented by Mr.. Munsey, resi-
dent engineer.

SUPERVISORS PASS
DOC ORDINANCE.

Law In Other Counties Found
Not To Work Hardship On
Owners
The Board of Supervisors, in
regular session here Monday, pass
ed a dog ordinance, after having
had it under consideration the
two previous meetings. The or
dinance passed provides that dogs
shall not run at large at any time
during the year. Owners whose
dogs are found running at large
will first be notified, and a fine
of $3.50 will be imposed for the
second offense.
It was evident that part of the
members voted for the measure
reluctantly, and one member vot-
ed against it because, he said,
he found majority of his con-
stituents opposed to such a meas
ure. It was stipulated by the
board that if the ordinance is
found unsatisfactory after trial
that it will be rescinded.
The ordinance was proposed by
officials of the National Forestry
Service, who announced that their
purpose in seeking passage of
such a measure is tc comply with
a provision of the U. S. Biological
Survey to not Gberate any game
animals in any county that does
not have a dog control ordinance.
It is understood that action will

are found chasing, injuring or
killing deer or other game ami
mails that may be released in the
Jefferson National Forest. It is
pointed out that this measure is
not merely to protect sheep, since
the laws already provide adequate
penalty for known sheep-killers.
One member of the board stat
ed that he had made inquiry at
different points in Wise county,
where dog ordinance was pass
ed several months ago, and that
natives advised him that they
scarcely knew they had such
law.

powerful muscles, and devastating
eloquence. John Ford's the name
Mr.. Ford, the director of whom
every producer thinks when he has
a powerfully realistic drama to
make, has worked himself into one
of his more snarling dudgeons on
the subject of film music. The quot
able part of what he has to say, or
a free translation from the profane
to the polite, goes like this:
"Its utterly ridiculous for SYM
phony orchestra to play music for
a fight scene, and it's equally out of
line to have two men start to sing
a song in a small room accompanied
by an orchestra that could not get
half its instruments into such a
room. That sort of thing is out"
Mr. Ford does not mean it's out
like small, innocent European ma
ton but rather out of his next pic
ture, Eugene O'Neill's The Long
Voyage Home" In that he has a
simple, forceful tale to tell and he is
going to see that the music fits that
story.
When given scene in The Long
Voyage Home" is big enough for only
the sound of flute and when the
flute is the only logical instrument
for the scene, that is the only mu-
sic to be heard. The concertina will
have its chance as a solo instrument
instead of a little, lost sound in a
mob of musical devices. Mood music
will not be discarded, but it is des-
tined to be of suitable proportions.
In one sequence, for instance, where
the feeling is one of loneliness and
distance, there will be a faint, far
away oboe rhythm to suggest what
runs through the minds and hearts
Of the characters.
The composer cooperating in the
enterprise is Richard Hageman. He
has fallen right in with the Ford
idea. If the thing catches on as so
many of Ford's good ideas have,
movie music might acquire as much
logic as it has attained excellence
In other respects.
