Up From A Bootle9ger

Strange things happen in
elections, and thus it happened
that this man edged in as chief
law enforcement officer for the
town in question. But since the
pickings Of the office were
small he probably found the
going hard financially and was
often heard to lament having
sought the office and to de-
clare that had he had any idea
that the price of moonshine
Whiskey would pick up as it
had that he would have gone
to making whiskey instead of
seeking a position that made
him the legal foe of the illegal
traffic in whiskey. Later, it
was said, he did smother his
conscience, such as he had,
and did a fair business as a
bootlegger under the cover
and protection of the large
badge he wore.

RUMOR CLAIMS
TOWN ELECTION VOID

Late today the Herald heard
rumors. that the town election,
held this past Tuesday, was
void, since it was claimed two
of the election officials were
not qualified voters. The law
clearly states that election
judges and clerks must be
qualified voters, and accord
ing to our information, two Of
the election officials were not
qualified to serve since their
poll tax had not been paid six
months prior to the date Of the
election. The law also states
that in event an election is
void, old officers will hold I'M
til successors qualify.
If this rumor proves true,
the town of Clintwood may
look forward to a holly contest
ed election compared to the
quiet affair of Tuesday.

offered it to me-now l saw the play
as means of having place for my
baby in the country, away from David
and the anxiety of my life in Califor-
MIA.
Now I had a picture in my mind
of bringing my boy East and having a
place in the country, near enough to
New York for me to be with him.
I said good night to my child with
a prayer of gratitude in my heart
that l would have the intelligence to
bring him up to make of him fine
man, healthy in body and mind.
David never dreamed l would
leave him.
/ tried to shut my mind and my
heart when l got on the train and l
did not leave my compartment until
| reached New York. For three weeks
l lived as quietly as possible, and l
even asked the hotel clerks to with
hold all information regarding me.
But friend of David's saw me
on the street and through this man
David traced me-and there David
was knocking on my door.
At first thought something had
happened to the baby and l opened
the door.
"My father is deadw David

In the long nights would lie and hear the
waves splash on the wall of the breakwater of the
castle now my shattered fairyland. My heart
would beat so hard and SO painfully thought it
would burst.
During those miserable nights David would
come into my room, stand beside my great god-leaf
