CARVER CLUB
TROUNCES MAS.
wnLBoURN HITS, PITCHES
CARVER TO rs TO 2 WIN

The Carver Athletic Club base
ball team opened their 194S sea
son with victory that was remi-
niscent of the great teams Of yes
teryear. Manager Don Moore's
renovated edition of the Carver
Club trounced the Naval Air Sta
ton team from Sand Point by the
score of 10 to 2.
Evidence that Manager Moore
took his renovating job seriously
was shown in the fact that only
two men were in the same posi-
tions they held last year, Bennett
Wilbourn on the mound and Cur
tbs Collins in center field. Mac
Hubbard moved from third base
to first, while First Baseman M.
G. Chairman now cavorts In right
field. Moore switched from catch
er to left field to make room for
newcomer Jackie Alexander. The
other positions on the starting
lineup were filled by men who
were not with the team last year,
namely. John Copeland at second
base, AL Bostrom at shortstop and
Dewey Tate at third base.
The game itself was Roman
holiday in which the Carver bat
tiers fattened their averages at
the plate and played alright ball
afield with the exception of few
lapses after they had built up a
13-run lead. Pitcher Wilbourn
struck out nine men in the six
innings that he worked. Henry
Twaites added four more strike
outs in his three-inning stint.

John Ritchey Plays
For San Diego

San Diego of the Pacific Coast
League made news this week by
placing John Ritchey. first Negro
player in the League. in its line
up.
In the opening game Ritchey
was used as pinch-hitter but
failed to get a hit. The next
day he was called on as pinch
hitter and came through with a
hit. Thursday he caught the full
game and came through with two
hits out of three times at bat,
handling himself perfectly. The
next day he got a home run and
caught the double-header Sun

MANUEL ROXAS, PRES. Phil. REP,
DIES SUDDENLY OF HEART ATTACK

the Philippine Republic since its
creation in 1916, died suddenly
of heart attack at Clark Field,
the United States air base so
miles northwest of Manila.
He collapsed shortly after de-
livering a speech to officers and
men of the u. S. air base in
which he declared the free peo-
pies of the world must stop and
If necessary fight, aggression by
Communist fifth columns the
world over"
He will be succeeded by Elpidio
Quirino, 81 vice president a n d
foreign secretary.
Though he had suffered from a
heart ailment for years, his death
was unexpected.
A brigadier general and aid to
General Macarthur at the time of
Bataan's fall, he fought as a que
rilla for a time, then surrendered.
He was interned and later accept
ed a post in the Japanese pup
pet government.
The charge of collaboration fol-
lowed him in his political career.
However, General Macarthur rose
to his support, contending Roxas
supplied the Allied forces with
vital information while masquer-
aiding as a collaboration.
Roxas, as Philippine president,
took a firm stand in favor of
aligning the island republic with
the United States.

Mystery of Missing
Trunk Still Unsolved

Dickinson County officers, who
have been cracking cases wide
open with the skill of Sherlock
Holmes, are completely stEmped
on one for the time being. We
night call it The Mystery of Bud
Justices Trunk.
Going home Saturday night
after his usual tour of observa-
ton on the street, Mr.. Justice
found that his trunk had disap-
peared from the Woodshed, where
it usually was kept. Officers were
notified and began sleut.iing.
They found automobile tracks
near the house, and there h e
signs all ended. Up to this time,
there have been no further devel
opments.
The trunk and contents, the
officers were informed, weighed
in the neighborhood of hundred
pounds. The contents have not
thus far been disclosed.

Estimated Cost Of New
County Jail Set At
9I75,O 900

At a special session of the
Board of Supervisors Wednesday,
at which members, Dotson, HaW
kins and Mccoy were present,
various details of the proposed
new Jail for Dickinson County
were discussed. J. L. Williams,
architect, presented preliminary
plans, as approved by the State
Board of Corrections. Judge
Frank w. Smith was present.
The Dickinson County Jail has
been condemned, and it appears
certain that new Jail will have
to be built. The Board of Correc-
tons has condemned the Jail af-
ter January /, 1949, but it is I'M
derstood that the date of con-
demnation will probably be NOV
ed up to the first of July if ac-
tive steps are taken toward the
building of a new jail. the esti-
mated cost of 32-cell Jail is
around $175,O00 The county has
an investment of about $135, 900
in Savings Bonds with which to
finance the work. It appears that
requests for other services may
be pared to meet the remaining
$4,000. Indications are the build
ing will begin in early spring.

Wilbur Mullins And
Deputy Stanley Solve
The Case

Cases against alleged cattle
rustlers were postponed here on
Tuesday until January 4. In the
meantime Fred Williams, Helen
Greene anf James T. Stevens are
being held. IFerb Bryant of Tram
mel, who had. been under suspi-
cion, was released from custody,
as there did not appear to be any
substantial evidence against him.
Among those from whom cattle
have been stolen are Wilbur Mul
Inns, near West Dante: Mrs. Lou
Use Mullins, West Dante: and SIP.
Dickinson of the Red Oak Ridge
in Russell County. Wilbur Null
ms conducted an investigation
that indicated clearly tnat t h q
missing cattle had been stolen
He was later joined in the hunt
by deputy Oakley Stanley Of
Dickinson County and deputy
Boyd of Russell. The officers ar
rested Fred Williams ON suspi-
cion, and he made partial con-
fession and gave leads that led
to other arrests.
In a follow-up of the story
Williams had told, Wilbur Null
Inns and deputy Stanley traced
the woman, Helen Greene,
through a number of hotels In
East Tennessee and Southwest
Virginia, and finally located ner
in the Virginia Hotel at Norton.
1t has been verified that she fin
ished three months Jail SEN
tence in WEIGH, w. Va, a few
weeks ago and has been Williams
companion.
On Monday night, county off,
GERS located James T. Stevens,
alias Lewis Greene, in Kona, KY.
Williams had described how he
and Stevenson had been chased
by officers and how Stevenson
mad been wounded in the escape.
Examined here, he was found to
have abraisions and scars indicat
ing grnshot wounds.
There is confusing angle to
the case. Some cattle were stolen
in Dickinson County; contacts
and contracts for resale were ap
parently made in Russell County;
the transactions seem to have
been completed in Wise County.
For this raeson, and for the fur
Their reason that all threads of the
investigation have not been pul
together, examining trials were
postponed.

OF
All
Things!
"Boll Weevil Music"

"Boll Weevil Music"
Ajax, a bully boy OF ancient
Greece, dared the lightning to
mortal combat. That was h e
worlds greatest act of recorded
bravery prior to Dec. Is, OF this
Ammo Domini. On that date, jim
my Skeen, known to one and all
as superintendent of schools, loos-
ed a mighty blast against "bol
weevil music" and thereby dared
the wrath of a great host. Some
schools, it seems, have put on
musical programs to raise
funds. The kind of music" thus
sponsored is not to his taste, and
he reaches high for thEnderbolts
to dash against it. "Fourth-rate
corn cob pluckers," public spec
tacles," and Savage tom-toms"
are sample rolls from that BOOM
ing gun.
Now, Better be safe than sor-
ry" I always say, and this sage re
mark has made for me the repu-
tation of a philosopher. Could be
that Jimmy might have profited
by my saying. Speak of doll wee
viz, chill billy, or "hound dog"
music and whim- wham it as you
will, it's mountain music all the
same. And in mountain music
there is a great host and majority
who live and move and have their
being; the lovelorn hired girl, the
beered-up juke joint rooster, the
true mountaineer, who now and
then hears in it a faint trace of
his lost music, and that great mum
Der Of us who have never learn
ed anything better. We are the
combined sweetness and strength
or to use metaphor more fit
ting, the very rock and rye of all
this land. And as certain dist
riot of this county was wont to
do in past days, we may "get up
in arms. =.
Furthermore, mountain music
has its champions among the
great OF this land. Potlicker has
its Douglas Freeman; turnip
greens its Bill Tuck; and noun
tain music it's John Flanagan.
You remember how John put
Gene Worren to rout in last cam
paign with his championship Of
mountain music, to which he had
often danced all night on punch
con floor. Just what bearing that
had on the issues of the cam
paign we never did understand,
but it warmed hearts and possib-
ly made votes. Surely now, if our
music is threatened by the Super
intendent of Schools, John will
take his place as our anointed
champion. Then, what could Jim
my do? Ajax defied the lightning
and got away with it but lightn-
ing is just small skimption to
1sJohn Flanagan here in Dicken-
SON County.

been several years in maturing, and
it is the more effective now for hav-
ing made progress with caution. It
has not started to go anywhere until
its supporters believe it is in, their
power to help it get there.
Chief aims are to encourage
new types Of farming, especially
types that will aid in soil en-
richment and at the same time
yield better income to the small
hill farmers. Poultry and fruit
growing are being emphasized,
and dairying has been backed
for a number of years. To aid
in getting this work started and
to keep it going, several special
lists have been hired with funds
contributed by the programs
hackers.
Chief factor in success Of the
Tupelo plan is the kind of sponsor
ship it has. The leadership and the
full influence Of the Tupelo Daily
Journal and its publisher, George
Mclean, are supporting the project.
The Daily Journal has guaranteed
the funds necessary for the first
three years activities. The Cham
ber Of Commerce, of which Mclean
now is president, is doing its part
by financing a special program in
horticulture, which is allied with the
plan in general.
Community Backing.
In previous years banks and busi-
ness men have helped introduce
dairying and better dairy breeds.
Tupelo business men realize that
business will thrive and their town
will grow to the extent that the e0-
tire community prospers. They axe
convinced that there should be mo:e
earning opportunities on the farms
and in the rural neighborhoods.
They are helping not only to build
up a better farming industry, but
also to promote new town indus
tries that will make assured mar
kets for things produced on the bet
ter farms.
The plan that has been developed
covers FIVE counties and is the big
gest rural community development
plan in the United States, in the
number Of people it affects and the
extent Of its program. It already is
demonstrating how small farming
resources can be improved when
energy and ina gination are applied.
