Br JONATHAN BRACE
XXXV.?W. VIRGINIA
AS T n ID
name itn*
plhv*. W o a t
Virginia \rus
orlglnully n
portion of
Vlrglnlti, the
01<1 Dominion
Colony. While Its history I?? nat
urally yoked up with that of the
Mother State, there are many
points in which the two sectloos
of Virginia were divergent and
It was for this reason that West
Virginia finally became a sepa
rate state.
The /lrst white man who prob
ably penetrated the wilderness
of fbls Western region was John
Lnderer, a German surgeon, who
went on a tour of exploration In
1009. In the same year, La Salle
sailed up the Ohio and landed
at several points In the present
state. There was little coloniza
tion until 1732, wheu Scotch and
Irish adventurers began to fill
Western Virginia. They were
encouraged but little. And. In
fact, the King In 17&S declared
that this part of the colony was
Indian country and could not
rightfully be settled. Coloniza
tion continued, however, and bit
ter warfare was waged again-st
tho Indians and the French who
had come down from the North.
In 1774 the battle of Pt. Pleasant
whs fought, which was one of
the bloodiest of Indian conflicts.
The backwoodsmen who set
tled In the Western part of Vir
ginia were entirely different
types of met] from the wealthy
slave owners along the coast.
Jealousies between the two sec
tions arose and the Western
countries felt great dissatisfac
tion at the way Virginia was
governing them The most
marked point <>f disagreement
was over the slavery question,
and It was because of this that,
when Virginia seceded from the
T'nlon In 1801, West Virginia
took matters in Us own hands.
Delegates met at Wheeling, drew
up a separate constitution and
declared th?lr Independence.
Their application for admission
tn*o the Union was accepted by
Lincoln, and lu l^W West Vir
ginia became the thirty-fifth
state.
It i* often called the "Pan
handle State" on account of Its
*hai>e. Tts area is 24,170 square

Doctors and Lawyers.
There aro probably more layvyersj
in the world than any other cla?a of j
people, except doctors. These two,
professions ,lead tlie world in num-1
t>ers. However, only very small per'
cent of doctors and lawyers are U-j
censed to practice. j
Tlie ueJtt time you have' h bad (fold,
an a die In your l>ody, or any other |
^ailment, mention thU aiituent to tlie
friends you conic in contact Mth and
nearly every one of them will pre
scribe .some remedy, a large majority
of the people are doctors.
Then during court week iliscuss with
friends some important law suit or
trial which is being tried or which has.I
just been tried and you will 1k? sur- j
priced at tJie number of your friends
who are lawyers.
It takes considerable study to be
a ,succes* In any (profession or trade,
and it is a lamentable fact that .. a
great many isv>ple neglect their chosen
professions in order to dabble in oth
ers. ?

from a buggy drawn by a horse at five
miles an hour, but one motoring out

ot' the state reformatory seven miles

knocked down and .neatly arranged in
regular pi his. They are to be burned
and thousands of boll weevils will be'
burned with them.
Then one may motor to the line, sep- j
aratliig Cleveland county in North (
Carolina from Cherokee, and observe
similar piles of cotton stalks in one!
other field. In that field the fires are

A-s the car approaches Charlotte, in

the weevils have done little or no
I <lamage, much cotton remains on the
stalks and north of Charlotte, in
Mecklenlwrg or Cabarrus, some of the
k are while with the staple. One
field half si bale ro the acre was open
three or four days ago. Yet cotton i<
