tor in all the backwoods region
where it found its way.
It is not to be wondered that
Greenbrier voluntarily abandoned to
the new county of Summers our iso-
lated territory, and it did so even
against the protests of the inhabit-
ants thereof, who had entered SINH
lar weak wall of protest to the par
tition of the Old Dominion, but in
neither instance did it prevail.
The first settlers of the Lick Creek
Country had a great reverence for
the old county and for everything
that originated in ancient Lewisburg,
and it WAS never greater than in
1865, just after the return of the
warriors from Appomattox. From
thence came the distinguished pio-
neer Presbyterian, DR.. McElhenny,
who did missionary wark in the Lick
Creek region, visiting his ancient
parishioners. John and Robert Mil
Ter, who emigrated to that country
from Bath before there were any
roads, crossing the mountains with
their wives and household plumber In
the ancient yankee jumpers" They
were the founders of Scotch-Irish
Presbyterianism in that land. From
Greenbrier came the pioneer Mis-
sionary Baptist, John Anderson, who
Mustered to the Gwinns, the Dun
cans, the Hicks, and other founders
of the Missionary Baptist faith; and
Lief, and Waugh, and Gilbert, and
p. S. E. Sixeas, of the Methodist
faith are all names familiar to men
now living. Father Wallace of the
Catholic Church, did missionary work

In the territory abandoned to Sum-
mers there has been great advance

ed the county of Summers and the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway. The
City of Hinton and the towns Of
Meadow Creek. Brooks, New Rich
mond and Green Sulphur Springs
have all grown up within the life of
this newspaper, and where the
wolves were bowling when its first
number came from the press.
The Green Sulphur Springs was
discovered at the Buffalo Lick where
salt was drilled for with the old
windlass, rope, aid a piece of iron
fastened to its end, for the driiler.
Instead of salt, at the depth OF. 65
feet they encountered sulphur water,
and there flows today that splendid
spring, a monument to the enter
prise of q pioneer, E. ]. Gwinn. now
owned by his SON, ex-Sheriff H.
Gwinn.

necessary to send a messenger to

bring the mail for the neighborhood.
Later postofiee with weekly mail

many miles around for many years.

THE LICK CREEK REGION
OF GREENBRIER.
Judge Miller Writes Interestingly
of the Past.

In 1856. the date Of the birth OF
the "OId Luminary" Green
brier Independent''-wh event 1t
now celebrates after its half century
of life and usefulness Greenbrier
county was still great domain and
included within it's territorial limits
that part of Blue Sulphur Township
thereof now known as Green Sulphur
district of Summers county. The
great county originally consisted OF a
vast territory extending from the top
of the Allegheny Mountain to the
Ohio river, including Kanawha, Fay
cite, Monroe and other good coun-
ties, but never crossing to the west
side of the New River The last
looping off its territory included
far country then known as the
Lick Creek region which remained a
part of Greenbrier until the forma-
ton of Summers in 1878, when it
was again diminished in territory to
the extent of what is now Green Sui
phur district of the new county. This
domain included the territory now
embraced in the city of Hintno. The
line runs from the Meadows. with
the ridge of the Keeney's Knobs to
New River, at the top of the hill in
Avis; thence down New River with
the Raleigh line to the Fayette eoun-
ty line; thence with the Fayette line
by the Bear Wallow," corner on
the Greenbrier line, back to the
Meadows, and it was. at the date OF
the birth of The Independent, sure
enough ''far country; but
which had been a part of the old
county from its formation, about
100 years-until Evan Hinton decid-
ed to create a county of his own with
the capital at the mouth of the Green
brier; and this ''far country" iaclud-
ed the Lick Creek region, the place
of my nativity.
Fifty years ago this region was not
regarded with great favor in the
Houses of the Masters" in the fat
bluegrass portions of the good old
county of Greenbrier. 1t was regard
ed almost beyond the pale of civiliza-
ton. We looked to the East for
everything. Lewfsburg was dis
lance OF % miles. If we wanted
lawyers, or doctors, or preachers,
ofice-holders or religion, we looked
to the metropolis in the East-Lew-
isburg.
Many things have transpired
since the birth of the dispen-
ser of civilization, the "old .Lumin-
ary," and no one enterprise, in all
the region in which it has circulated
has had a greater or better influence
than it under the Masters who con-
trolled its destiny, the founder, the

Republican Candidate for Coroner Of
Kent County.

Mr.. Patterson has been lifelong Re
publican, but this is the first time his
party has ever honored him with a place
on its ticket. At the primaries in his
own district, he was given the full
strength Of the poll. Notwithstanding the
fact that there has been considerable dis
cussion in that district.
He is a member of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church Of Frederica, and one of
its officers. For years he has been iden-
titled with the Grand Army Of the Re-
public and has several times served as
commander of James A. Garfield Post
No. z, c.. A. r. of Milford, Delaware.
Mr. Patterson is well liked wherever
he is known, and it is confidently expect
ed that many Of the old veterans and Of
his Democratic friends win support him.
He is thoroughly competent to fill the
office 70 which he aspires and from every
view point is worthy of your suffrage.

PRESIDENTIAL POINTERS

In the first four elections for
president each elector voted for
two candidates, the one receiv-
ing the largest number Of votes
was declared president and the
one who received the next larg-
est number of votes was de-
clared vice president. At the
election of 1904 a president and
vice president were voted for
separately and an amendment
to the Constitution provided
that the president and vice pres
ident could not be elected from
the same state. To insure an
election a candidate for presi-
dent or vice president must have
a majority OF all the electoral
votes cast, otherwise the cleo
tion for President would be
thrown into the house Of repre-
sentatives by states, each state
having one vote, and for vice
president Into the senate.

The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1916-09-16

From few minutes after the Tele-
gram was out yesterday afternoon
until late hour last night, the edi-
tors telephone was kept busy by ia
theirs, mothers and brothers of this
city, expressing their thanks and ap-
probation for the rebuke given to
the insult offered to the young girls
of this city. We have known most
of these girls since they were little
tots, and we have watched them un-
fold from lovely little rosebuds Of
humanity to the perfect flower of
young womanhood We know them,
believe in them, respect them, love
them. We can pass over personal
insults offered to us in silence, but
no foul-minded purveyor Of filth and
sensationalism can cast slur upon
the pure and innocent young woman
hood Of this community without be-
ing called down.

SHOULD APPLY TO LABOR. TOO
Lakeland, Sept, 16, 1916.

lakeland, Sept, 16, 1916.
Editor Telegram: l take notice
of the Trade at Home ads in your
valued paper. l heartily endorse
such movement, but will say in
connection with the above that
think it is right and justice all
round for our merchants to patron
ize home labor-the labor that stays
here all the year round and spends
his earnings with the home mer-
chant. I will say further that in
the past too many of our people have
picked up hoboes to do odd jobs
men who probably never had a fam
lily nor ever voted. So please impress
upon the people that it takes regis
tered voters with poll tax, paid to
elect our men to office. So we see
that this floating class is no help to
us here; they do not help our schools
for the most of the earnings of this
floating class go to bar rooms and
other evil places For the first thing
they do is to save every cent to take
back North or West or wherever they
hail from, and at last they leave an
impression on the boarding house
people to be remembered.
This is as the laboring class feel
about the matter.
So l will ring off.
Respectfully yours,
