Bill McFall, former treasurer
of Dickinson county, has brought
suit against Charles P. Mullins,
Wilson Counts, A. r. Singleton,
Lee Sutherland and S. Terry Mul
Inns for $4,000. Also A. A. (Fox)
Fleming is suing John Henry An
derson for $4,000.
The suits state that McFal and
Fleming were elected as treasur-
er and as sheriff in the election OF
1889 for the term beginning on
January /, 1910, to serve unit,
their successors were duly quail
fled. They go on to say that Null
Inns and Anderson secured certi-
ficates of election through fraud;
that they intruded themselves in
to the offices and served until
the election of 1943 was voided by
Judge Cantwell's decision last
August. McFall and Fleming state
they were the legal officers of
the county from the date Of Jan
/, 1910, to August 5, 1945. when
Judge CantWell appointed others
They state that as they were the
legal officers during the incuna-
bency of Mullins and Anderson.
they should have the salaries
paid to the defendants and their
deputies.
S. H. and George C. Sutherland
are the attorneys for McFali and
Fleming The suit is scheduled to
be heard by Judge Frank Smith
at the March term of court.

NO CHANGE SEEN IN THE
POLITICAL SITUATION
IN COUNTY

The political situation in the
county remains about status quo.
That is, position in which a per
son, or thing, is, has been, or
may be.
Howard Long declares that he
has never thought, of getting out
of the race for sheriff, but that
he speaks only for himself.
Reports persist that Haskell
Arlington and Kline Powers, Re-
publican nominees for Treasurer
and Commissioner of Revenue,
are definitely off the track. These
reports have not been denied or
confirmed by either Arlington or
Powers.
Meanwhile, the Democrats are
getting ready for their convention
to name candidates Saturday af-
ternoon. According to general
opinion, German B. Sutherland,
of Haysi, will be named for Treas
urer, and according to the same
guesses, B. S. Powers, Jr., Clinch-
co, will be named for Commits
sioner of Revenue. The race for
sheriff is still wide open, and it
is expected that French Turner,
Maynard Lambert, Tiv Fleming,
and maybe Fred Yates and T'ru-
man Fleming will go before the
convention for sheriff.

County's Oldest Citizen Buried
Wednesday on Big Ridge !

Death brought an end to the
long and colorful life of Ezekiel
Mullins Tuesday. According to
the best information available ne
was over 100 years old. Some say
102, some 106. Perhaps no one
knows, but it is certain that he
was the oldest man in the coun-
ty.
According to information, bur-
ial was in the Jeerns Fleming
graveyard on Big Ridge Wednes-
day. Despite the unusually bad
weather, large crowd turned out

Busy Day on
Monday

The board of Supervisors met
in regular session here Monday
with all members present and
Chairman L. H. Edwards presid-
ing.
The greatest part of the session
was taken up with considering
requests for roads and bridges
throughout the county and with
granting an appropriation 10
match the fund allotted by the
State for school purposes. Sew
eral minor claims were presented
for sheep alleged to have been

high embankment and was SO in

ers' salaries for the remainder Of
l947, and the board instructed w.
B. Trivitt, treasurer, to transfer
from the general county fund to
the school fund the amount ap-

remembered the horrors and the
hardships of Civil War days and
of the reconstruction period that
followed. He is said to have made
his living as young man mainly
by trapping and digging ginseng
and other herbs that were mar
ketable at that time. He also
farmed on a small scale, making
at least comfortable living as
measured by the standard of that
time.
He is survived by the follow
ing sons and daughters:
Alvin Mullins, Mary Mullins

lowing brothers and sisters. An
