Voters Refuse To Come
To Boiling Point

The primary campaign is Meth
er bubbling nor boiling in Dicken
son County. In spite of meetings,
posters, newspaper talk and side
walk arguments, the people as a
whole, seem indifferent. With an
estimated 5000 Democratic votes
qualified in this county, the vote
will probably not go over 1900.
Primary votes in the past have
averaged less than 700 in the
county.
In the senatorial primary of
1916, there were, in round num-
bers $4,000 votes cast in h
state. The vote. this year will like
ly be in the neighborhood of 300,-
900. Strange to say, the Fighting
Ninth" always casts the smallest
primary vote in the state.

John W. Flanagan spoke In
Clintwood last Friday. Delayed
by a storm, they came after the

house. Mr.. Edwards confined his
speech to the sales tax, which he
favors. Mr.. Flanagan spoke in
very bitter terms of Colonel Fran
els Pickens Miller, saying taht he
was a rich man who had never
done day of manual labor and
had never gone to the public
schools one day in his life. He
said that Colonel Miller had liv-
ed in Virginia only short time
and knew very little of state af-
fairs. He made no personal at
tack on Battle, but said that he
was the candidate Ditch machine.

CONTRACT LET FOR HARD
TOPPING CANEY

The contract for grading and
hardtopping nearly seven miles

awarded last week to the Adams

lies between Wallen's store and

bid was $81,194.
When this job is done, the route
from Bear Pen Gap into Coeburn
wills all be hard surfaced. This
development is part of the farm
to-market road program now be-
ing worked out in Virginia. 1t
seemed at one time this year that
the improvement could not be Sc
cured but the people of Caney
Ridge put up sustained fight
