FRIDAY, JULY 81, 1915.
FIFrHETH ANNIVERSARY.

Somewhat belated we publish this
week o ur Special Semi-Centennial
number in Celebration of The indie
pendent's birthday There was pa
Fer published here just prior to the
war known as the Greenbrier indie
pendent but it ceased to exist during
these fearful four years of turmoil
ard bioodshed.
On June %, 1866, the late Ben
famine F. Harlow, who had come to
Greenbrier, prior to the war, from
Albemarle county, Va, brought forth
from an cid Washington Hand Press,
the first number of 1.-The Greenbrier
Independent" which, in all the years
since then, has not failed to appear
at the time appointed, as many as
three times, and, in the last forty or
forty-five years, it has never missed
a number, appearing on publication
day with the regularity of the tides.
We had hoped to have picture
and good write-up of Col. Harlow
by some one thoroughly familiar
with the difficulties under which he
Iabored in 1866. but have been I'M
able to secure either.
There are yet many readers of The
Independent who remember him and
the paper under his ownership and
direction, who will testify that from
the start ne published an excellent
county weekly-one which had tone
and a distinctive character. During
the reconstruction period, certainly,
we doubt If there was a weekly
newspaper in the State which
exerted a wider or more salu-
tary influence in relieving the people
of the odious and oppressive laws
coming as the evil heritage of the
blind prejudiees and passions engend-
cred by the war. Mr.. Harlow con-
Quoted The independent for twenty
one years and turned it over, in Sep
TENDER, 1887, to his successors
Thos. Fl. Dennis and Geo. T. Arga-
brite-wtth an enyiable record and
a stainless name. They who have
read and watched the course of The
Independent since then must say to
what extent Col. Harlow's successors
have maintained its good name and
fame
Greenbrier independent. [volume] (Lewisburg, Va. [W. Va.]) 1859-1980, 1916-07-21

We are also much disappointed in
being unable to get a picture Of Mr.
Argabrite for this number. He was
Col. Harlow's partner from back in
the seventies to September, 1887,
when Gel. Harlow sold out to him
and US, and our partner from Sep
TENDER, 1887, to October. 1909, when
we bought his interest, and have
si1ice. been its sole owner, editor and
publisher.
We desire here to acknowledge
with sincere appreciation and graft
Jsude the valuable service of man
who has labored in this Office without
interruption, from the 18th day of
May, 1869, to the present hour and
Is still here as faithful as ever. We
believe that in the world to come
there are mighty comfortable quart
ers and an endless period of sweet
rest reserved for Marcellus Williams
Zimmerman. Since Sept. 14th, 1905,
Jess L. Hern, young and active man
of much resource and initiative, me-
chanical genius and Of wonderful
quickness and aptitude, has been of
great service to us and to both we
readily acknowledge our obligations.
We wish here to express our thanks
to the various friends who have con-
tributed so delightfully."- TO The liter
airy columns of this number. We
can assure them that their articles.
glarcing back over fifty years of
IGreenbrier's history, will be read and
enjoyed-eYery one of them.
This has been a strenuous week
fer our force, from editor to devil.
We trust the number will please you
tho we feel that if we could have a
second trial we could much improve
on the paper sent out this week.
In the severe presssof work this
week we found it impossible to get
out the 20 pages promised and had to
be content with 16 pages, the other
4 pages containing the articles left
~. and many other pictures we could
mot find room for will appear next
week and can easily be inserted in
the paper you get this week, thus
completing the 2O-page paper for
preservation.
We know that newspaper men will
appreciate the difficulties under
which We have labored this week
and will readily accept this promise
rs satisfactory
Parties who ordered special num-
hers will receive the four pages next
week.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Judge JOIN H. Clarke, Of Cleve-
land, Ohio, has been nominated by
Precedent Wilson for Associate JUS
tice of the United States Supreme
Court, to succeed Justice Charles E.
Hughes, who resigned to accept the
Republican nomination for President.
It was felt for time that possibly
The appointment might go to Solicit
tor-General John w. Davis, of Clarks-
burg, or that it might go to Attorney
General Gregory and that Mr.. Davis
would succeed him as Attorney Gem
eral But the appointment Of Judge
Clarke ends both Of these possibili-
ties and practically assures that Mr..
Eavis will continue throughout the
remainder Of this administration to
be Solicitor General of the United
states, the highest legal position in
The administration.
Another Office which Is was hoped
might be given to a West Virginian,
was lost when the President appoint
ed Congressman James Hay, of vir-
ginia, to be Judge of the Court Of
Claims to succeed Judge Geo. w. At
kinson, Of West Virginia, who recent
ly retired on full pay. Senator Chill
ton tried to induce the President to
appoint Clyde B. Johnson, of Char
1estcn, to succeed Judge Atkinson,
but the President handed the nice
plum of life position at $4,000
year to Mr.. Hay, who has been
Chairman of the House Military At

Consort to Queen
Of Holland is to
Climb Mountains

Correspondence of The Associated Press,)
The Hague, Netherlands, July q,
For the first time since the out
break of the war, Prince Henry of
the Netherlands, the consort of the
queen, has left Dutch soil, Accom-
panied by two members of the Dutch
nobility, he has gone to Switzerland,
where he will during the next six
months indulge in mountaincl climb
ing. 1t was particularly stated that
he would not leave the train in pass
ing through Germany.
The fact that the prince, or, as he
was known before his marriage, the
Duke OF Mecklenburg, is German
by birth, and that his sympathies
naturally lie with Germany, led to his
movements being followed with more
than ordinary attention in the open
ing stages of the war, when some
curious stories went the round on
the subject. But Prince Henry has
nothing to do with Hollands policy
or administration, and most of his
public appearances in the past two
years of war have been in various
activities connected with the Red
Cross organization here, of which he
is president and in which he takes
the greatest interest. For the rest,
he has resided a good deal at the
Royal country seat of "Het Loo
where hunting has been among his
occupations. A day or two ago he
was noticed taking a stroll through
the Hague woods, accompanied by
one of the little tame deer from the
royal house in the wood, which fol-
lowed him like dog.

LANDLADIEs GIVEN A HUNcH
Organization to Check Operations
of Boston's Confidence
Games,

The measured rebuke of the auto
crat of the breakfast table to the
border who made a cutting remark
about the pie placed before him prob
ably has been read by many a Boston
landlady with gratitude to Holmes.
The race is long-sufffering one in
any city, and in Boston it has taken
a remarkably progressive step in the
formation of union-a Landladies'
Benefit association.
A primary purpose is the protection
of members from fraud. In Boston.
as elsewhere, there flourish real
estate agents who obtain the conf
dence of landladies with slender saw
ings, lead them to rent houses that
appear to be full of roomers, and
when, after week, the bogus dodgers
have all left, send an associate to re-
lieve the woman of her bargain at
a fraction of the sum she paid.
The association asks all those con-
templating the renting of house to
take dodgers to come to its head
quarters and have the matter investi-
gated.4t assists landladies in finding
boarders; it encourages them in the
keeping of accounts upon scientific
plan, and it has a contingent fund for
the relief Of members in temporary
straits.-New York Post.
