Bromine-Arsenic And Slnatley Springs Will
Be Headquarters For Rotary Assembly
Famous Springs
Discovered Over
Half Century Ago
Water Shipped to All Parts of
Country. Still Attract
Large Crowds.
BRIEF HISTORY

The Bromine-Arsenic and the
Shatley Springs, two nationally
known mineral springs and
health resorts, located about nine
miles from West jefferson and
only a short distance apart, will
be headquarters for the Assem-
bly, Of the 188th. district of Ro-
tary international.
In spite of the fact that mine
raj springs are no longer regard
ed as real vacation centers, these
two places still attract thousands
Of people each summer and wa
ter from the springs is shipped
to almost every state in the ma
ton Throughout the year.
Both Of them were discovered
about fifty years ago and because
of the curative properties of the
water, the fame of these springs
spread rapidly. Within a COM
paratively short time they were
developed into health resorts.
In their files are literally
thousands of testimonials from
Several different countries, at
testing to the healing qualities of
the water and they include al
most every ailment known to
man, with particular emphasis on
eczema, scrofula, cancerous af-
fections, skin diseases of all
kinds, arthritis, tumors, blood
diseases and so on.
The Bromine-Arsenic Springs.
at Crumpler, were discovered in
July, 1885, by Willie Barker, son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Eli Barker. Lit
tie Willie was helping his father
pillow corn on hillside and, &C.
cording to Willie's story of the
discovery, his father sent him
down to the branch to find a
spring and bring him some wa
ter to drink.
Il went across the road and
got in the branch and walked
down it, STOPPING along under
the bushes and grape vines I'M
til felt cold water under my
feet" he wrote about it. 81 then
commenced looking for and soon
found the cold water running
down the rock. I scratched
aound until found a place large
enough to get the cup of water
for father. He sent me back for
more water and said it was the
best he had ever drunk My hand
and arm were very badly sore;
the next morning it was almost
well. We went back the next day
and father worked in the spring
with his hands that had sores on
them too. The following day
they were nearly we'll. Then
everybody got to using the wa
ter and it has cured a power of
folks. Sometimes three hun
dred come here in one day."
That was little Willie's version
and his father verified it.
A year or two later Captain
Thompson, of Glade Springs, Va,
bought the spring and % acres
of land and paid around $5,OOO.OO

year ago, the clubs records re-

In it's list of "goals for 1885,"
The Skyland Post advocated the
organization of a civic club. With
in a short time sentiment for such
an organization Of business and
professional men developed ra-
pidly and on Tuesday, April 4,
1888, a provisional Rotary Club
was organized at the West JEFF
ferson hotel, with 26 charter
members present. Three repre-
sentatives from the Hickory Ro-
tary Club, headed by Watt Shu-
ford, a great Rotarian who died
recently, were also present and
assisted with organization details,
the clubs history shows.
A temporary board of directors
was appointed by Ed M. Ander-
son, who acted as chairman and
the standard Rotary constitution
and bylaws were adopted. An
application for a charter was then
prepared and sent to District
Governor, Shep Bryan, and to the
directors of Rotary International.
On April 20, Shep Bryan wired
that West Jefferson-Jefferson

The organization of the new
club here was hailed far and near
as meaning the dawn Of a new

sons and Ashe county.
Sanford Martin, editor of The
Winston-Salem Journal and the
clubs first guest speaker after
it's initial organization on April
4, wrote an editorial about the
club which appeared in The
Winston-Salem Journal on April
! Is. It was entitled, "Preparing for

and progressive business and pro-
fessional men of Ashe county
:" The Importance of the

pointed out that Ashe county has

many advantages for industry.
The editorial ended with this
significant paragraph: "All that
is necessary to insure a new era
of progress in that section, as well
as throughout North Carolina, is
spirit of unity and cooperation
among our people. The organiza-
ton of great civic club in a
county like Ashe is evidence that
such a spirit is growing in that
fine section"

II Year Old Boy
E[ectrOcuted

Leaning against wire fence
which had become charged with
electricity, Alfredo Martinez, II
year old nephew of William Glas-
son, 1T Edwards street, was elec-
trocuted at noon Tuesday.
The accident occurred on some
acreage owned by Glasson just
south of the Blue Heaven Tourist
Court on the Tucson road a few
miles north of Nogales, and where
the boy was filling in holes in a
road way washed out by recent
heavy rains.
A wire running to pump had
grounded on sheet iron pump
house to which the fence had been
fastened and from this electricity
had gone into the fence. Gilberto
Lopez, a cousin of Alfredo, was
knocked to the ground by the elec-
tricity as he jerked the boy loose
from the fence.
The youth was a very popular
Lincoln school student, son of Mrs.
Pricilla Martinez, and he had made
his home with his uncle since he
was baby.
In addition to his mother he is
survived by two sisters, Sacramento
and Emily Martinez, and two BROTH
ers, Enrique and Pancho Martinez.
Following the accident the youth
was rushed to DR.. G.. L. Harker's
office where firemen and others
spent several hours administering
artificial respiration and oxygen in
vain effort to resuscitate the lad.

For Educational Exhibits
At To-Day Exposition

Premiums totaling $126,593 for

sofas first Today State Fair, Aug
ust 26 to September 4, it was an
nounced today.
Approval Of the enlarged prize
list by the Board of Managers, it
was pointed out by Raymond A.
Lee, secretary of the Fair, is in
keeping with the expanded EXPOSE
ton and the policy of encouraging
the raising of those types of live
stock, agricultural and horticultur-
al products, which contribute most
to the economic growth of the
Northwest.
Opening a week earlier than in
former years, plans for the greater
educational program are being
rushed to completion. A record
entry is forecast for the livestock
show for which $55,942 has been
set aside for the cattle, horse, swine
and sheep divisions.
Topping the list is the cattle div
ision with $25,563 in prizes. Added
impetus will be given Minnesota's
great dairy industry with $14,535
in premiums allocated to dairy
breeds. Beef cattle will share ST.
OPS in prizes. Other livestock divi-
sion premiums are: horses $40, 342
swine $3.50, sheep So, 457. The poul-
try prizes total $4,000.
An increase Of $1,000 in the All
club work will swell the premiums
in that division to $4,000, the larg-
est in history. While work is be-
ing rushed on the new All building
to be dedicated at this years fair,
club members throughout the state
are preparing exhibits and displays
to fill the new structure.
Added interest in All work this
year, according to T. A. Erickson,
club superintendent, has rallied
81, 900 members and leaders in local
and district competition which will
eliminate in trips to the fair for
5000 boys and girls.
With the earlier opening, the
Board of Managers has announced
the following closing dates for en-
