Rappahannock News, July 1, 1982

33rd YEAR, NO. 26 The County Fantily Newspaper Since 1877 SAMPLE USPS 45558C 16 Pages THURSDAY, JULY 1,1982 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA Phone 675-3349 25* Fun Filled 4th Of July The streets of the town of Washington will be alive with fun beginning at noon on the 4th of July. Dancers, clowns, pageantry, craft demonstrations and sales, an art show, flea markets, book sales and display of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department’s new vehicle are just a few highlights planned for the afternoon. Ice cream and cake, sandwiches and iced tea will be sold at the Trinity Episcopal Church yard. Steve Critzer and the Washington Volunteer Firemen will be roasting and serving a pork dinner at the Monument Grounds on Gay Street. The electronic game craze will finally make it to Washington with video games at the town hall across the street from John Walker Jenkins’ auction House on Gay Street. Under the sponsorship of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, artist Margery Albright and make-up specialist Libby Snead will combine their talents at RLEP’s booth in painting clown faces on anyone who wants his or her spirits raised for the occasion. Priscilla FUlebrown will man another RLEP contribution, an old fashioned coin toss game with lots of laughs for everyone and prizes for the skillful. At 6:30, the action will move to Avon Hall where Mr. and Mrs. William Carrigan will again host an Independence Day program featuring foot races for youngsters, storing patriotic music and th* grand finale of fireworks at dark. Phil Irwin of Voice of America will again be master of ceremonies while Hubert Gilkey and his family will handle setting off the fireworks. Spectators are invited to bring picnic suppers to their seats on the courthouse hill which provides the best view of the evening’s entertainment. There is no parking at Avon Hall so drivers should park in town, at the Fire Department lot or the old Washington School and walk, entering the grounds from Gay Street over the courthouse hill. There will be no refreshments provided for the public at Avon Hall. Mr. Carrigan and other organizers of Washington’s old fashioned Independence Day suggest that hungry spectators who haven’t brought a picnic from home stop by the Monument Grounds and support the Washington Volunteer Fire Department by buying a roast pork supper. As part of the preIndependence Day festivities, Sursum Corda School and Day Care Center will begin its annual fund raising auction at John Walker Jenkins' Auction House on Friday evening, July 2, at 7:30. Then on Saturday night, the Rappahannock Center for the Arts and the Community will host a fun(d) raiser of its own, a block dance in front of the court house from 8 p.m. to midnight with music provided by popular WEER dee-jay Jeff Harper. Tickets at $5 per person may be purchased at Natures Foods and Cafe, the Rappahannock News office or any board member of RAAC. THE SPIRIT OF INDEPENDENCE DAY is embodied in Uncle Sam and the American Flag. As in past years when Charlie Manaon dressed up as the Nation’s favorite uncle, Avon Hall will be the center of late afternoon festivities on July 4th. Entertainment and fireworks will begin at 6:30 p.m. on the grounds. Come early and bring a family picnic supper or pick up delicious roast pig and drinks on the way in through the Monument Grounds near the courthouse on Gay Street. There will be no picnic supper at Avon Hall except what spectators bring for themselves. The Carrigani ask that trash be placed in the receptacles provided. -Photo courtm of Anw Kfyiw WASHINGTON’S FIRST COURT HOUSE — Before the stately brick building was constructed on Gay Street in 1835, court in the fledgling county of Rappahannock was held for two years in the frame building that stood where the Washington Cash Store is now located. Workmen A.J. Slaughter, Sam Bruce, Sam Hetrick stood on the steps for this old photo taken before the structure was torn down to make way for William Stuart’s General Merchandise Store. The boys sitting in front are “Cheese” Oden, Billy Fox and Lyle Stuart. The county rented the building in 1833-1834 for the munificent sum of $25 per year. Dorrier Wants Waste Curbed Government waste is the villain behind the nation’s current economic woes, according to Lindsay Dorrier, the Democratic candidate in this November’s race for the 7th District seat in the U. S. House of Representatives. Stop waste and then unemployment and interest rates will drop, the Albemarle County commonwealth’s attorney told Rappahannock Democrats at last Wednesday’s county committee meeting. Dorrier’s approach is an economic domino theory in reverse. He believes the federal budget can be balanced by eliminating waste. Once that balance is achieved, interest rates will drop, stimulating business productivity and creating a favorable economic climate which will, in turn, reduce unemployment. "Every percent of unemployment costs the government S2S billion annually. Reduce that unemployment figure by four percentage points and that alone will balance the budget," he said. Another $10 billion in government costs can be saved through each percentage point shaved off the interest rate, Dorrier added. “All of us are for less federal spending, less government and less taxes. I LINDSAY DORRIER have no disagreement with that philosophy. It was Mr. Jefferson’s philosophy. It’s been the balanced budget, pay-as-you-go philosophy in Virginia. We’ve always believed here that we should get a dollar’s worth of services for every dollar of tax money paid," he said. Dorrier disagrees, however, with the Reagan administration’s approach toward achieving those ends. “I have a problem (with Reaganomics) because the cuts have affected the young, the ol<f and the poor. They deprived some of our neediest citizens of aid.” Specifically, Dorrier cited student loan reductions which he maintained are “very detrimental to the education of America’s youth.” He also singled out cuts in Medicare. “The philosophy of reducing the federal government and balancing •the budget is one ? L, share—with other Democrats and with members of the Republican Party. But we have to be fair in our approach to cuts so that whole segments of society aren’t hurt,” he maintained. To start the domino buildup to economic recovery, Dorrier proposes that every governmental department be examined closely for waste. ‘There shouldn’t be a single department that is sacrosanct or above scrutiny.” Defense Over-Runs In discussing government waste, Dorrier zeroed in on cost over-runs in the Defense Department. "I’m for a strong defense," said the Democratic candidate, a 16year veteran of the Army Reserves with the rank of major and three years of active duty. “But we must try to root out any waste in the Defense Department. We must have wise expenditures of defense dollars.” He noted that time and time again, new weapons systems, a new submarine or the latest bomber will end up with a price tag 10 or 20 times over the original cost figure. If a contractor on a state project repeatedly brought in work at a final cost of 10 to 20 times the original agreement. “Virginia’s government, wouldn’t stand for it. Why should the federal government?" he asked. “We need better planning for new equipment and we need to hold contractors accountable.” “Accountable” is a word that Dorrier used repeatedly in his talk with county Democrats—not just in relation to defense contractors and Pentagon generals but for congressmen as well. Once in Washington, senators, and representatives too often “let their staffs do all the work and allow the bureaucrats to take over,” he said. “Congressmen must hold all the people working for them accountable... Traditionally, bureaucrats protect their own departments. They’re not going to volunteer information on where waste might be in their department.” Dorrier pledged to be a “questioning congressman”, always alert for government waste. “If there's a failing in our present congressman, it’s that he doesn’t go out in the (Continued on Pace 10) One Dead, Several Injured In Wreck One child was killed and a mother and son remained in the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville on Tuesday from injuries sustained in an accident on Route 522 at Woodville Friday night. Eight-year-old Patricia Ann Brown was killed when a tractor-trailer owned and operated by Ray Calvin Lester of Culpeper slammed into the rear of a car driven by Mrs. Lillian Ora Sykes of Washington. Mrs. Sykes was returning from Bible school in Woodville with three children in her 1961 Ford Escort when the accident occured. Mrs. Sykes was still listed in critical condition at U.Va. Hospital on Monday afternoon. Her son, James B. Sykes, Jr., was listed as being in good condition. Melissa Dawn Sykes, sister of the child who was killed, was also injured in the wreck but was released Monday from Culpeper memorial Hospital. Mrs. Sykes and the two girls were thrown from the car in which they were riding, according to state police reports. James Sykes, Jr., was pinned in his seat by the accident. Trooper H. A. Newlin noted that details of the cause of the accident are still sketchy but reported that both vehicles were northbound on Route 522 when the Sykes car was hit from the rear. It was pushed off the left side of the road. The trailer truck jackknifed and also slid off the left side of the highway, according to the trooper’s report. The driver of the truck was treated and released from Culpeper Memorial Hospital. Tina Louise Lester and Lisa Michell Lester, two of his children who were in the truck at the time of the accident, were also treated and released by the hospital. Teresa Lynn Rider of Culpeper, a third passenger, sustained only minor injuries. The wreck occured about a mile and a half north of Woodville at about 10 p.m. at the road into the driveway of the Brown children’s residence. Patricia Ann Brown was a student at Rappahannock Elementary School and would have attended fourth grade this fall. She was the daughter of Richard Allen (Buddy) and Shirley Ann Pullen Brown of Sperryville. Five Men Charged In Sperryville Beer Theft Five Sperryvilk men have been charged with petty larceny in the theft of three cases of beer from a delivery truck that was unloading its cargo at the Sperryville Corner Store on June 24. David Allen Nichols. 28; Robert Clarence Martin, 24; Kenneth Lee Foster, 18; Roger Lee Cave, 20, and John Ronald Jenkins, 21, have all been released on their own recognizanse with a hearing on the charges set for August 24. According to sheriff W. A. Buntin, the delivery men unloading the beer truck noticed sets of feet on the other side of the vehicle. The driver of the Fredericksburg distribution company’s truck attempted to halt the in dividuals but they fled the scene in their car, according to the sheriff. Later it was discovered that three cases of beer were missing. Martin was also charged with possession of marijuana and a hearing on that count has been set for June 23. Sewer Grant Gets “If’ By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Mrw* Staff Writer Rappahannock's Water and Sewer Authority called a halt to progress on design work for Sperryville’s sewer system Monday night, reacting to a contingency added to the grant picture last week by the State Water Control Board. Ranked fifth in priority on the state’s list for construction funds from the Environmental Protection Agency which are funneled through the SWCB, Sperryville was virtually assured of getting SI. 4 million to build the community’s sewer project in fiscal year 1983 or at the latest in FY 1984, according to SWCB personnel. In addition, Ernie Simmons, head of the SWCB’s construction grant program, was extremely optimistic as late as last Monday on the chances of securing an addendum to the EPA grant to cover redesign costs of the innovative septic tank effluent pump (STEP) collection system and conventional package treatment plant. It was with these assurances that the WSA members and engineer Hank Gerhart convinced the Rappahannock supervisors last Monday to loan the Authority up to $105,000 in front money for design costs so work could proceed in time to meet the SWCB’s October 1 deadline for submission of plans and specifications for the $1.4 million grant. But by Tuesday, the day following the supervisors' split decision to loan the Authority the money, the picture changed and it now appears that the grant funds may be a little less sure. Stu Wilson from the SWCB’s Northern Virginia office referred to himself a< the "sacrificial lamb” when he met with the WSA and Gerhart at the courthouse this Monday evening to explain the situation. No Redesign Money From EPA As the result of conversations with EPA personnel in Philadelphia last Tuesday, Simmons now believes that chances are slim for getting additional money to pay for the redesign of the sewer system from that source, according to Wilson. He noted that EPA regulations have been changed and then changed again as regards payment of sewer system design costs. Jfe emphasized, however, that it is EPA’s policy to fund only the design work for a system which is actually constructed. There may be a chance of obtaining an additional $30,000 or so—the difference in the eligible share of design costs between the original plan for Sperryville’s sewer (Continued on Page 10) — PhoCii amrtM^ of Mr* Arthur Millrr MOSBY’S RAIDERS, Charlie Dear lleftl and Bob Ridley Eastham in front of Washington’s Confederate monument. They Rode With Mosby By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rap|tthannork W Sufflrilrr The town of Washington has its Civil War sagas and its tales of heroes who fought in that War between the States but the stories are more in line of personal anecdotes since Rappahannock came through the conflict unscarred by any major battles. Middleton Miller, who built The Maples at the edge of town in 1850, owned Glenn Mills at Waterloo in Fauquier County which first manufactured the “Rebel Gray” worn by Confederate soldiers. Clarence J. Miller recalled a Civil War episode at The Maples which was published in the Washington Herald on February 7, 1926: “Before the skirmish near Washington between General Wade Hampton's cavalry and the command of General Pleasanton in the fall of 1863, Captain Hart, chief of artillery under General Hampton, was my father’s guest. Through him, the rumor that my father had some old peach brandy reached the famous South Carolinian. General Hampton sent his orderly to my father and ‘borrowed’ a canteen of the brandy. “Years later, when the general was Senator Wade Hampton, I met him in Washington, D.C. I recalled the ‘brandy borrowing.' With gusto, the general said: ‘Yes sir! I remember. The brandy was fine, too!’ ” The Washington Herald also reported a story of how the town freed a Union officer from Confederate custody. (Continued on Page 10) J

Jack Miller Remembers Past Days In Washington By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Mrwa Staff Writer Courtly and gallant with a twinkle in his eye at 86, Jack Miller is every inch the ladies’ man, tipping his hat and passing out compliments whenever a female passes by, be she seven or seventy. It’s hard to imagine a shy Jack Miller but he insists that one existed once upon a time. “I was real bashful until I was better than 16 years old. I’d run from the girls, believe it or not,” he admitted with a chuckle. Eighty-six years young, the white haired gentleman is a fixture in the town of Washington, a regular visitor at the county’s offices and businesses, always nattily attired in a coat, a tie and a fedora hat. His trademark is a cigar—or its stub—sometimes lit but more often not and always in a holder. He’s lived in the town all G.W. Danced At Washington House By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock W Slafflrilrr Washington House has seen much of the town's history and while it's not one of the hundreds and hundreds of sites where the Father of the Nation reportedly slept. George Washington once tapped his foot to music under its roof, according to local stories. “We’ve been looking for George Washington for some time now,” reports Edna Walker, who with her husband Paul and daughter and son-in-law Fran and Charlie Eldred, currently own the graceful old building. “He was related to the Thornton family (Edna’s forebearers) and the tale is he came here to visit his relatives. That’s when he was supposed to have danced in the dining room.” But as to George’s part In the Sounding of the town, she isn’t so sure. Culpeper County records list the names of the trustees who were appointed to lay off the streets in 1797-1798, according to Mrs. Walker. “The Culpeper records don’t say a thing about George Washington," she added. She’s not ready to debunk the legends that he named and surveyed the town; neither is she ready to accept them as gospel. Edna acknowledges that the young surveyor was working in the area and maybe even set out the boundaries of the town but she stops there. For the history of Washington House, on the other hand, she's an encyclopedia of facts. Licensed In 1803 Mrs. Annie Coxe applied for a license in 1803 to operate an ordinary in the large, white double-galleried building which had been constructed between 1735 and 1740, she reported. According to Mrs. Walker, the Washingt n House lot was originally owned by George and Lydia Calvert who sold it to Annie and her husband, David Coxe. The first commissioner of the peace for the newly formed Rappahannock County took his oath of office in the building and before the county was created in 1833, local ‘‘Gentlemen Justices” met at Coxe’s Ordinary to settle disputes and run local business. The bell on the upper balcony was used both to call the justices to meetings and customers for dinner. ftappaljannock JJeuia Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $8.00 Elsewhere in the U S. per year $10.00 Outside the U S. per year $8.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ( ) New ( ) Renewal ( ) Check Enclosed NAME_ ADDRESS _ CITY_ STATE_ ZIP _ Entered as second class mail at the Post Office in Warrenton, Va.

Court was even held here at times,” reported Mrs. Walker’s daughter, Fran Eldred. "Annie Coxe apparently had her fingers in every pie in captivity!” Upstairs in the building are several smaller, private rooms which were rented to lady travelers and to more affluent gentlemen and a large common room where lodgers rented space—space on a bed often shared with another weary soul and even space on the floor. The menu served at the ordinary was whatever Annie Coxe had prepared that night for her family. When Mrs. Coxe died in 1850, the ordinary and its tavern were sold to settle her estate and purchased by Amos and Phoebe Dear. “Then when she died in 1900, it came into the Thornton family and we’ve been here ever since,” Mrs. Walker reported. Buay Corner The street corner in the center of town was a hub of activity when Edna's father, John Edward Thornton, owned Washington House. He built a garage across the street, the, beginning of the structure that now houses The Inn at Little Washington. “Initially, it was going to be just a garage," Mrs. Walker recalled. But his wife objected so to the partying, dancing and card playing going on in the old ordinary that Thornton added a second level. Story has it that Blanche Thornton hated the carryings on so much that when she caught a group of her husband’s friends playing cards in one of her back rooms, she went after them with a kettle of hot water and they all had to jump out of the upstairs window to escape.

Anyone with a question on Washington’s history has only to ask and Jack’s off, spinning story after story of the old days. 7 His roots go back for generations. Jack is the grandson of Middleton Miller, builder of The Maples, and great-greatgrandson of the first Miller in Rappahannock County, a German immigrant who changed his name from Heinrich Mueller to Henry Miller. Annie Powers, the unmarried daughter of James Leake Powers, builder of Trinity Episcopal Church, Ben Venue, Jessamine Hill and the county’s courthouse who learned his trade working under Thomas Jefferson, was young Jack’s first teacher. An intelligent and well educated person, she had memorized most of the McGufly Readers. Miss Powers was also a great story teller who charmed Jack and his sister with her ghost tales. At 16, he graduated with a class of six from the new high school in Washington. His boyhood was spent long before the advent of radio and television. Instead of hours squandered before a TV set. Jack remembers days spent in more active pasttimes—playing baseball, riding horses, buggy riding and sleigh riding in the winter. “I even got part-way up Devils Staircase one time but only one time and only part-way. I was never much of a walker,” he recalled. Dance Halls “When I was about 18, I started going to dances. The whole upstairs in the old Washington school was a dance hall. And we danced some up over The Inn (at that time, Thornton’s Garage). The second floor of what is now Washington’s nationally acclaimed French restaurant also saw the birth of basketball in Rappahannock County. Until a gymnasium was built at the high school, the upstairs over the garage filled the bill, the home court for both boys and girls teams, according to Miller. “Basketball wasn’t known here until about 1922. Mr. Cox, the Episcopal preacher, started' it. He was a very religious man. He lost his mind afterwards,’’ Jack confided, shaking his head. “He had so much religion that he went crazy!” He remembers the first car he ever saw in town. “It belonged to a paper man from New York who married a girl from down here. I was fiiio nr civ vfars old and I followed him around town. He couldn’t drive much faster than we could run.” But when Jack was a boy, cars were the exception in Washington. Most of the traffic was horses—either ridden or pulling a wagon or buggy. Horses required support businesses and accommodations as well, enterprises which made uo a :onsiderable portion of the town’s commercial activity. Mr. Miller recalls a barn where the old movie house now stands and a harness shop next door. Cabinet maker Peter Kramer’s shop was a livery stable operated by George Washington Clark, an enterprising gentleman who also carried the mail and worked the forge as a blacksmith. “We had a big fire at the livery stable in March of 1916. I don’t know what started it—it was at night. The noise was terrible. Seven or eight horses burned up. We had a bucket brigade from the well in front of the courthouse and the well at the house behind the livery stable to save the Baptist Church and the house next to it. It was cold that night! I was standing on the porch of the church throwing water up on the window,” Jack recalled. “1 always took the easy job,” he added jokingly. “There were no fire departments in those days. Whenever there was a fire, everybody came running with a bucket. Colored and white worked together whenever anything caught on fire.” Court Days Jack remembers court days as the high point on the calendar, particularly the advent of March court. The old saloon at what is now the Rappahannock National Bank would fill up. “Everybody would get drunk, fight and run their horses around town,” prompting mothers and daughters to bar the doors and stay off the streets. “People from Culpeper owned the empty lot next to the bank and they’d bring their new machinery, tools and all sorts of ware on March court days and spread it out for people to see. It was quite a day—we always got out of school,” Jack reported. One trial from those long ago court days stands out in Mr. Miller’s memory from stories he heard growing up. It’s that of James Johnson, the man who poisoned his wife and died at the hanging tree “right where the pond is now on Arthur Miller’s farm,” Jack said. “There was another lynching, a colored man named Willie Fitzhugh. They found out he wasn’t guilty but not until after he was hung.” 1 he man couldn’t speak well and when he went to a white woman's house trying to buy liquor, she thought he was trying to assault her and raised an alarm, according to Mr. Miller. Fitzhugh was arrested and put in jail. “A crowd of people got together—they never did prove who they were but I think I knew most of them—and came up to the jail and demanded the prisoner. Lillard was the jailer and he wouldn't give him up but they twisted :s arm out of the socket, broke into the blacksmith’s shop, got sledge hammers and knocked out the bars of the jail. They took Fitzhugh to the Hickory tree that used to —Rappahannock Nfw* Photo/ Bill Young BORN IN WASHINGTON in 18%, Jack Miller is one of the town’s treasures. je at the end of Judge Snead's driveway and they jut him on a horse, tied a ■ope around his neck and :hen hit the horse. It happened about 1900, I think.” Years later, youngsters vould brave the scarey lark ness to stand under the ;ree and ask the ghost of the ynched man why he was hung. Fitzhugh was supposed to answer “Nothing at all, so when the children told their friends of their adventure, they could report that they’d heard the ghost reply “Nothing at all,” Jack related. When Jack Miller was a young man, it took three hours to travel from the town of Washington over the mountain to Front Royal—by horse and buggy. “Once they made it macadam, it was a toll road. There were three stops between Washington and Front Royal. 1 think it cost 25 cents at each.” Miller also made the trip often by horseback. "I drove cattle for people and we’d put the cattle on the train at Front Royal. We’d also drive hogs. Generally with hogs, we’d walk and lead the horses and then ride back. And we drove sheep—even turkeys.” The trip to Culpeper by horse and buggy took about four hours in those days. "That was considered good time,” Jack noted. “It wasn't anything at all to drive to Culpeper or Front Royal. We’d visit, shop and stay overnight.” Back then, poker playing was one of the major social events for gentlemen in Washington. ‘‘It wasn't anything at all to play for $400 or $500 as table stakes,” Jack recalled. One of the most popular gathering spots was “Buzzard’s Roost,” the name bestowed on the upstaris of Thornton’s butcher shop across the street from Washington House. It wasn't just a Friday or Saturday night outing either. “Whenever three or four men would get together, they’d go up to play...I’d rather go up and watch them play than eat when I was hungry,” Mr. Miller recalled, laughing. Washington had quite a reputation then. “The Flint Hill people called Washington ‘the hell hole of Rappahannock County,” Jack reported with a chuckle. “We did our gambling and we did our drinking but we were honest about it. We did it openly. In Flint Hill, they did it at night in the cellar with the lights out.” Local talent displayed at July 4th Art Show to benefit Rex Slack’s “Rural Images” extended through July 18th <zMiddleSt. GALLERY Main St P O Box 341 Washington.

When you get right down to it, it's the price, more than anything else, which will dicate how fast (or slow); how profitably (or unprofitably) it will sell. What is the best selling price? National experience has proven conclusively that if your property is priced at inception within 5 percent above fair market value range, the chance of making a clean, top dollar sale during the early stages is TEN TIMES greater than otherw ise. Buyers buy bv comparison. Properties not competing favorably do not sell. Overpricing at inception causes properties to become shopworn; valuable time and buyers are lost forever. Ultimately, all properties sell for their true value by comparison - or less if exposed initially at an inflated price. How do you arrive at this "5 percent plus” key value?

Audit Bureau of Circulation Thursday, July 1,1982 July 4 For years we have enjoyed the 4th of July celebration sponsored by the Washington Volunteer Fire Department and the hospitality of the Carrigans at their yearly fireworks display at Avon Hall. This year we have devoted the July 4th edition of the Rappahannock News to local history, old tales and pictures to help add to the patriotic celebration. So many of our readers have stopped by or called to tell us of their interest in Rappahannock's past that we plan to increase our coverage next year to honor the county’s loOth anniversary. We will be looking for old pictures, church histories and just plain old tall tales for publication each month of the coming year. We hope also Dy this special Independence Day paper to give our support to the Fire Department in its fund-raising efforts and to promote local businesses that depend on tourism and the good will of county people for their survival. We urge all Rappahannock residents and visitors who join us on the 4th to support the Washington’s Firemen and all the other groups who make this celebration work each year. We thank all those who raided their attics for pictures for us to use, and those whose brains we picked for history and county folklore. We enjoyed putting together the July 4th edition of the Rappahannock News. We hope that you will enjoy it, too. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS 32 YEARS AGO COUNTY magistrate Miss Margaret Compton was re-elected to office along with the entire slate of women for the council. Miss Compton has been magistrate for 14 years and is the only magistrate the county has ever had. A mother and daughter were killed by a hit and run driver as they were returning to their home in Washington, Va. Mrs. Edith Jenkins Updike and daughter Joyce Mae were struck by an oncoming car as they walked down the shoulder of Rt. 211. After striking the two the car continued onward. A suspect was caught in the incident. RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS 20 YEARS AGO Ground was broken for the Aileen Manufacturing Plant that was to be constructed outside of Flint Hill. Construction time was projected at 120 days with an estimated need of 275-300 workers to run the plant. Mrs. Charles H. Estes of Sperryville was the recipient of the coveted tricolor award at the Rappahannock Garden Club Flower Show. Mrs. E.M. Jones awarded the Sweepstakes prize. The average number of forest fires in Rappahannock County tripled in the months of March and April. The increase has been credited to the dry conditions which made it hard for forest fires to be controlled once they started. High winds also were a contributing factor in the rampant burning. RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS 15 YEARS AGO Opinions were voiced at a wilderness hearing for the Shenandoah National Park Service. The proposal was for six wilderness areas to be established in the Park. This designation would remain in effect in perpetuity except for the maintenance of trails. The land designated will amount to 61,940 acres. The statute would prevent development, including roads. Construction for the 30-room elementary school for Rappahannock County has begun on the site purchased last year between Washington and Sperryville. Excavation has been completed and the building has begun to take shape. A total of $1,806.30 was grossed at the Washington Carnival sponsored by Washington and Rappahannock Co. Fire and Rescue Squads. RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS 10YEARS AGO THE TRIAL of Charles Manuel Campbell was set for August 3, 1972. Campbell was charged with four offenses relating to a murder and robbery. John Moffett Smith also has four charges aginst him for the same incident. The two are responsible for the slaying of John Swan Sutton behind Lombardy Restaurant in Amissville. Debbie Smoot was named the new honorary fire chief for the Washington Fire Department. Debbie received her tiara from the retiring honorary chief, Judy Alther. Runners up included Kate Frazier and Shelia Fritts. Conservation Tillage Reduces Erosion "Soil erosion by wind and water is a natural geologic process that has shaped our mountains, valleys, and other features of our landscape.” according to Lue Walters, District Conservationist for the Soil Conservation Srvice in Culpeper. "But modern man's activities have greatly speeded up this process to the point where it is recognized as a serious environmental problem and a threat to our economic wellbeing through loss of our productive agricultural capacity.” he said. “The rate at which soils erode depends upon soil type, steepness of slope, amount of runoff, and other things. But ironically, the solution to much cropland erosion can be relatively simple.” Walters said. “By leaving residues on the surface, evaporation, runoff and erosion are reduced. We call this ‘conservation tillage.' ” Conservation tillage is a crop planting system where residues from previous crops or field conditions are left on 4 the land and current crops are planted in this seedbed. In its purest form, '‘no-till,” agronomists describe it as a practice that allows farmers to plant crops without plowing or cultivating their land. "Even though special equipment and modified planting techniques are used, the practice has been around for nearly 30 years and can be Fitted to most management styles and . resource conditions," Walters said. Peter Meyers, head of the USDA’s Soil Conservation Service, is adamant in his remarks. “Conservation tillage is not the total solution to erosion problems but leaving adequate amounts of crop residue on the surface year-round can reduce sheet and rill erosion by as much as 90 percent,” Meyers says. Researchers agree that using one of the various forms of conservation tillage can reduce erosion from 30 to • / 90 percent compared with conventional tillage. Soil Conservation Service studies show that each year soil erosion removes 2 to 3 billion tons of soil. About 5 tons per acre per year is considered to be a tolerable soil loss. Many states have average annual soil losses greater than this. Some conservationists feel a psychological stigma is attached to the acceptance of conservation tillage, according to Walters. “Plowing and cultivating has been accepted for so long it’s hard for some farmers to overcome the urge to plow each year,” Walters said. "But no-till and other forms of conservation tillage are gaining ground yearly. Many predict acreage planted under the no-till systems will exceed conventionally planted crops in the near future.” USDA studies estimate that in less than 35 years, 93 percent of all cropland will be planted by conservation tillage. — of Mr*. I*hiiI W alk«»r AND HE NEVER CAME! The town of Washington decked itself out to welcome Franklin D. Roosevelt when the president of the U.S. was expected to pass through on his way to one of the camps in the Blue Ridge Mountains. But the man in the White House took another route, disappointing local residents who were all ready to roll out the welcome mat. Letters To The Editor Hi Ho To the editor: Hi-Ho School Board...And another good teacher bites the dust! I have lived over half of my Preference To the editor: This is just to say I preferred Will Hoare’s letter to Pat Saltonstall’s. TED WALSWORTH Washington Warrants More To the editor: If there is a problem with the work of the Equalization Board, it warrants more intelligible and objective presentation than we’ve seen to date. Ms. Saltonstall’s strident, confused rambling, punctuated by unseemly and dull-witted personal attacks, does little to advance clear understanding of the issue. JAMES MARSHALL Washington Serious Issue To the editor: A serious issue deserves better than the inaccuracies, exaggerations, erratic arithmetic and muddled metaphors which characterize Pat Saltonstall's letter and first guest column. One thing emerges clearly from this muddied verbiage: her intellect has been greatly overtaxed. I have reduced my assessment accordingly. WILLIAM J. K. HOARE Flint Hill life in Rappahannock County and for most of these years, I have had young people in its school system. We have schools we can be proud of; schools that have seen many good teachers come and go! Each time we acquire a teacher (or principal for that matt^t^ with exceptional ability together with genuine concern for the student, they are either forced to leave or are downright tired! Usually I avoid intervening in such matters, contenting myself to complain privately. However, the most recent victim of the “Rappahannock Hatchet Squad” is one who I know personally; someone 1 respect; and a teacher 1 have had the privledge of working with on the “Committee for Gifted Children”, an implementation of great worth for which she is directly responsible. 1 am speaking of Laurie Marshall, a Rappahannock school teacher for two years well-regarded by students and parents alike. Ms. Marshall has been a member of this community for seven years, during which time she has worked within our programs for the elederly, been active in school and extra-curricular activities on both elementary and high school levels, instigated programs of high innovative importance, including career day, and has the most valuable asset of holding the students in primary concern...All these eredits, lately it seems, are merely prerequisites for being fired! How can we afford to lose the very people whose talent and devotion we should hold foremost in our strivings to acquire excellence? Personally, I detest losing teachers of rare ability only to find when they leave us that the assets we once called our own are being lavished upon other communities. We in Rappahannock County are being cheated out of the values we now have at hand and our generation to come shall be the poorer for it. When our own School Board dismisses teachers of this rare quality and dedication for minimal andor trumped-up reasons, especially when the public themselves express opposite desires. 1, for one, tend to smell ulterior motives. When we of the Rappahannock School community are fortunate enough to find such dedication within our ranks I feel we should do more to keep them among us and do less hatchet-work, particularly when the hatchet-not only cuts our ow n throats but those of our children...This is the only future we have! RICHARD PIERSON Amissville rFrom Both Barrels No Dirges For ERA By GEORGE BOWLES Dnnorral S|H*rial Writer On June 30 the clock runs out, at least for the moment, on ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. Sometime that evening, according to present plans, happy ERA opponents will gather with Mrs. Phyllis Schlafly & Co. to congratulate themselves on its demise. For reasons which are not altogether clear, the event is being billed as an Over the Rainbow Celebration. Now this could turn out to be the most premature event of the kind since the Argentinians celebrated their victory in the Falkland Islands some weeks back. True, at the stroke of midnight on the last day of June, the time for the states to ratify the amendment expires. It is also true that the acts of ratification passed by 35 states will become null and void at that time. But it is emphatically not true that this spells the end of ERA. Two weeks later Sen. Paul Tsongas (D-Mass) along with Rep. Patricia Schroeder (D-Colo) and Rep. Margaret Heckler (RMass) with a number of other sponsors will reintroduce the amendment in their respective Houses of the Congress. It is probably no coincidence that the measure will be dropped in the hopper on July ,14—Bastille Day. dhiuc Luniuiun And so the battle over ratification will continue, almost without missing a beat. But there will be important differences this time around and those differences appear to favor ratification. According to a Harris Poll, there has been a dramatic groundswell of support for the amendment in recent months. A survey taken in April showed 63 percent of those interviewed favored ratification, an increase of 13 percent over a similar survey taken just four months earlier. The National Organization for Women (NOW),, one of the principal organizing forces behind the ratification movement, has almost doubled its membership in the past two years, growing from 100,000 in 1980 to a present strength of 180,000. In February alone the organization raised $1.3 million for its final push to beat the June 30 deadline. Message In Virginia In Virginia, the message is also being heard. For example, Del. Mary Sue Terry (D-Stuart) became an ERA supporter after a poll in her district was taken during the 1982 session of the General Assembly. The poll apparently showed strong support for ERA. The House of Delegates elections this fall could bring more proratification lawmakers into the legislature, but the problem still will be how to break the new amendment out of the House Privileges and Elections Committee where the one which is now about to expire was kept bottled up for nine years. In view of the time required for Congress to complete action on a proposed Constitutional amendment and send it on to the states, it is possible that the ERA will not come before the 1983 legislative session. But it almost certainly will be there in 1984 and beyond until ratification is achieved, with or without Virginia’s help. After all, the Old Dominion did not get around to approving the Women’s Suffrage Amendment until 40 years after it had become a part of the Constitution! rso buy Job This is not to say the ratification job will be easy, but there appears to be a growing recognition in the land that ERA is an idea whose time came a long time ago, say about the time the Constitution was adopted. The opponents of ERA will, of course, be fighting hard, but it’s safe to say if they had been alive in the 1780’s these same folks would have been in the forefront of those who battled so passionately against ratification of the Constitution itself. Indeed, one can almost hear a hoop-skirted Mrs. Schlafly warning Ben Franklin and James Madison that their wild idea of a republic based on human equality would inevitably lead to co-ed privies behind the new nation's Capitol building! Sian Is A Treasure Of China's History There is an Islamic mosque in Sian whose founding stone indicates 742 A.D. The grounds of the mosque are arrayed into four beautiful cour. ^traditional Chinese architecture — a memorial arch at the far east and a large columed temple, the mosque proper, in the west — to face Mecca. Along the sides of two of the courts are pavilions. The courts are separated with additional arches and smaller buildings and walls. The area'is decorated with trees and shrubs and the buildings bear carvings in relief of stone flowers, birds, dragons and some Arabic calligraphy. The atmosphere is calm, formal but friendly. In all the rooms of the pavilions, somewhat, ornate and large Chinese tables and chairs are arranged for meetings and the study of the Koran. Large, erect polished stones carry Chinese and Islamic scripts. Imagine at so early a date, there were enough Moslems in this capital of the Tang dynasty (618-907) who were influential enough to support a prominent place of worship. Today on Fridays it is full to overflowing with devoi Moslems. On one of the walls hangs an ancient map of Mecca. Sian was a capital of several dynasties, spanning more than a thousand years. Some distance away is the excavated tomb of a princess buried in the 600’s. Its walls, dug into a mountain, were originally covered with delicate frescos of her friends and relations in ; l flowing garments. In side nitches of the entrance, small clay figures of soldiers, horses and other animals were arrayed to keep the princess company and guard her. The burial chamber is crowded with an immense coffin constructed of slabs of stone, carved and traced to resemble a home, complete with roof. It must be six feet tall, five feet wide and 15 feet long. Pottery Guardians Later, we visited the site of the great pottery images of horses and men — 8,000 in all, it is believed. (Only part of this find has been excavated.) The figures, in strict poses of attention, guard the approaches to the tomb of the first Chin dynasty (221 BC-206 AD) emperor. It was at that time the first long section of the Great Wall was constructed by joining existing walls, stretching for hundreds of miles and extending into this, Kunsu province, where the only section of the original wall still stands. This emperor also unified China for the nrsi time, i nere is mucn 10 wonder about this unique army of life-sized figures—the extent of their individuality, the vanity and exactness of their dress, the development of their weapons made of iron and bronze. The degree of organization required to plan and execute so vast an area as the tomb encompasses is beyond my ability to graisp. But the history of Sian goes further back than even this historical treasure. There is an on-site museum covering the excavated village of Bam Po dating to 5.000 B.C. Besides hunting, the villagers practiced agriculture, growing wheat. They caught fish in nets and with bone hoops. They made and painted pottery, wove cloth and blankets. They even steamed their food in perforated clay pots. The excavated settlement shows occupancy over four separate periods, indivicating the desirability of one site near a river. 1 struggle to assimilate what I am shown and though seldom rushed, I cannot begin to take it all in. Much of the interest in each chance to examine relics of the past stems from the details, the care with which the hair and the headdresses of the guardian soldiers of pottery are replicated and the character of the horse saddles, the development of the designs on the pottery at the neolithic village over the centuries, the transparency of the fan held before the lady’s face in the frescos of the princess’ tomb, the careful carving of the flowers on the decorations at the mosque and the deep red-orange of the small blossoms on the promegranet trees growing over the tomb mound of Ying Zhen, founder of the Chin dynasty. Apart from the sites, there's the appeal of the individuals I see in the streets, the concern and care with which everyone tends the babes in arms, grandparents, mothers and fathers. June 1 was Children’s Day and the streets were full of well-dressed children, girls wearing pink tulle bows in their black hair. The intricacies of agricultural practices are absorbing too, as I observe the irrigation systems and inter-cropping of orchards, vegetables and fields of grain here in the vast desert and the mountains at Lanchow to which we came yesterday and where we visited an intensive farming commune today. The point I want to make is that from seeing the many monuments and places of interest around and in Sian, one begins to feel a full appreciation of the antiquity of the culture and development of human skills. The thrust of society today is toward the future and m ornnotion ir tka »,a*al> word. China is indeed reconstructing at a steady pace. Efforts to acquire new skills and new techniques of work are strenuous. At the same time, in a thoroughly systematic way, the government is documenting, organizing; and displaying its history for its citizens as well as for international consumption. Whatever the recent degradation and sufferings of the past several centuries, contemporary China can only be encouraged for the future as its self-respect is engendered through a knowledge of history. Since sending my last letter, I have become increasingly convinced that the progress that has acrued through the daily efforts over the last three years since I was here bodes well for the future of the Chinese. Some of our group were surprised and interested to hear from the chairman of the commune that we visited today that he thinks the recently adopted policy of limiting child birth to one individual per family may be changed. This suggestes a struggle may develop over this decision and it could prove to be a jerious matter. Most observers agree that over-population is China’s most serious problem. What happens to the population policy will be fateful indeed. (Next week: Peking — The Forbidden City and the Great Hall of the People.)

Sperryville: The Little Apple The slogan adopted this year by the Sperryville Business Council promoting Sperryville as "the little apple not only refers to the tremendous difference between this quiet community and the hustle and bustle of the "Big Apple”, but recognizes the crop that has dominated Sperryville's economy for more than a century. Sperryville’s farmers at first grew apples in their home orchards, then expanded the business to include many different varieties °t apples grown in larger orchards, sometimes in combination with peaches. Elisabeth and C. E. Johnson, Jr., tell us in their book: Fact, Fiction, Foolishness and Fairfax Story: Rappahannock County, Va., History, that shortly after the Civil War C. B. Wood, who owned a nursery here, sent a barrel of Albemarle Pippins to Queen Victoria, thus creating a market for Rappahannock apples in England.

Apple-drying plants and cider mills appeared in Sperryville and apples were dried, squeezed, sauced, fried, baked, chopped, boiled, canned and candied to appear regularly in some form at every meal served at a Sperryville table. In 1925 Rappahannock ranked seventh in apple production in Virginia; by 1956 the county was third in the state, a rank it maintained until 1963. Meanwhile, another business was adding to the coffers of Sperryville businessmen. The completion of Skyline Drive added to the tourists who had come regularly to the mountains to escape “summer fever” and the general heat and unwholesomeness of the cities. Sperryville resident Charles “Pete" Estes remembers the 1940’s as being the heyday of both the Sperryville apple economy and tourist industry, both interrupted, of course, by World War II. Fruit and souvenir stands sprang up along the entrance to the Park, joined by antique shops and other shops catering to the visitors passing through. On Main Street, the Lee Highway Hotel, now owned by Bill Loomis, provided overnight lodging for guests and homecooked food for visitors and Sperryville neighbors. The hotel building had served as an ordinary since earliest Sperryville times. A side trip to Sperryville is in order for all those in the county for the 4th. This year’s apples are not ready yet but there will be early peaches, cider and apple butter, and a variety of interesting shops in buildings that have remained little changed since the town's beginnings.

VICTORIAN ELEGANCE is reflected in the Stuart family home on Washington's Blue Ridge Avenue. The photo, taken about 1905, shows William Stuart (center! with his parents, an aunt and his older brother (left). Flint Hill: A Day In The Life Of A Busy Town In the 1950’s, Mrs. Arthur Miller edited a column in the Rappahannock News reprinting items that had been published in the Blue Ridge Guide, a publication that existed in the county from 1886 to 1936. One old news story, reprinted on November 9. 1950. was of a day in the life of the people of Flint Hill. They day recounted was July 23, 1914. and the Guide’s reporter described it thus: "The business week began Monday morning as usual. We can forecast one Monday what will take place next. At 12:30 R.E. Baggarly got up to a give a bottle of ale and a word of cheer to some one 9jf late going home. “At 4:47 the sun answers the call of the roosters.

Popular local legend has it that the Fauquier of our Country was the father of the town of Washington as well. According to the Rappahannock Historical Society’s phamphlet, “A Walking Tour of Washington, Virginia,” George Washington, then a tall, lanky red-haired youth of 17, had taken the job of surveyor for the newly formed frontier county of Culpeper in 1749 and as his first assignment, laid out a new town 20 miles away, north across rolling hills and streams. In his journal, Washington wrote that “Accompanied by John Lonem and Edward Corder, 1 journeyed one half day in a north western direction from Fairfax (Culpeper) and in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Culpeper County (Rappahannock), 1 laid off a town." According to tradition, 17year-old George named the town for himself, inscribing the plat he had drawn “Plan of the Town of Washington," making it the oldest of all towns in the United States named for the first president. But another version of the naming of the town can be found in the Rappahannock Historical Societys records. Richard Jackson, one of three Jackson brothers who came to Philadelphia in 1775 from Ulster, Ireland, was one of the earliest settlers in what is now known as Rappahannock. He settled about a mile from Washington, Virginia, “which it is said, he named after George Washington, whom he greatly admired," acording to the society’s archives on the Jackson family history. Richard Jackson died in 1826, leaving behind an immense estate that reached from Washington to Sperryville, five miles long by ten miles wide, covering about 30,000 acres. Whatever the source of the names, Virginia’s General '■ Assembly formally established Washington as a 1 town in December, 1796, once the population of the village reached the required number of “200 souls." In 1833, when Rappahannock County separated from Culpeper, Washington became the county seat. The 1835 edition of a “New and Comprehensive Gazetteer of Virginia and the District of Columbia Containing a Copious Collection of Geographical, Political, Commercial, Religious, Moral and Miscellaneous Information Collected and Compiled from the Most Respectable and Chiefly Original Sources” described the town: It contains besides the usual county buildings (lately erected) one academy, 55 dwelling houses, four mercantile stores, two taverns, one house of public worship, free for all denominations. The principal mechanics are four blacksmiths, four carpenters, two saddlers, one hatter, one tanner, two wagon makers, three tailors, four shoemakers, one cabinet maker, one silversmith, three milliners, one plasterer and bricklayer. In the vicinity, there is a large and highly respected female seminary in which are taught all the various branches of English literature together with French and Italian languages; and in the immediate neighborhood, are two large and extensive manufacturing-four mills. This village is rapidly improving and is in a flourishing and prosperous condition, being situationed in a thickly settled and enterprising neighborhood. Population 350 persons; of whom four are attorneys and two regular physicians.” Bridge Closed The first bridge on Route 612 off of Route 211 east of Sperryville is closed for repairs. Traffic will be detoured on Route 671 and Route 600 back to Route 612. According to the Highway Department's Washington office, the bridge is expected to be reopened on July 7. WILLIAM MILLAN STUART operating the lathe at the National Rifle Association, Washington, D.C., about 1965. "Billy” Stuart Remembered By LUDWIG OLSKN Rappahannock SjH*cial Writer William Millan Stuart was brought to his final resting place in the town of Washington on June 18. He passed away June 14 in Washington, D. C., after a serious illness, and would have been 80 October 11. I met Mr. Stuart in 1%0 when he was hired by the National Rifle Association in Washington, D. C., to assist the technical staff with special projects. The quiet manner and unimposing appearance of this man helped conceal his great talent. Within a short time, however, it was evident that he had extensive knowledge in many fields and possessed exceptional mechanical ability. Members of the technical staff came to know that if a “suction fit”, were required, Stuart was "the man for the job. One of his outstanding achievements was making an optical bench used for testing telescope sights and other optical instruments. Another was the design and construction of walnut plaques presented annually by the association to arms collector organizations for outstanding displays. He was never a fast worker, but the precision and beauty of his finished jobs was something to behold! Born in his family home on Blue Ridge Avenue in the town of Washington. "Billy" showed great mech; nical aptitude while still a boy. He also worked on the family farm outside of town, and helped out in his father’s general store, which is only about a hundred yards from the Stuart home. His stories about the store were very colorful. Back in those days, many items were sold in bulk, and mer chandise was often traded for eggs and animal hides. Chewing tobacco was a good seller, and shotgun shells were frequently sold by the half box, or as many as the farmer could afford. After graduating from Washington High School, Mr. Stuart continued his education at Virginia Polytechnic Institute where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture and was educated in mechanical trades. He then earned a master’s degree in plant genetics at the University of Maryland, and worked on a doctorate at Amherst College. On June 9, 1931, he married Nelle Glover of Westerville, Ohio. Also in 1931, he was employed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture for research on forage crops at Willard, North Carolina. From 1935 to 1941, he continued research on forage crops at Arlington Farms in Virginia. He then moved to Beltsville, Maryland, where he was employed by the Plant Industry Station, U. S. Department of Agriculture, until about 1951. During his career with agriculture research, he did considerable mechanical work and gunsmithing during off-duty hours. A fine example of his gunsmithing ability is a Model 1903 Springfield .30-’06 rifle which he restocked with a beautiful piece of Rappahannock County walnut. The stock fits the metal parts with almost a suction fit • a mark of true craftsmanship. Mechanical work in his home workshop in Beltsville and managing the family i farm near Washington occupied most of his time from 1951 until 1960 when he was hired by the National Rifle Association. He was a life member of the National Rifle Association and a charter member of the Agriculture Research Center Gun Club. Some of his happiest times were spent on the club’s rifle range near Beltsville with his close friend and shooting companion, Colonel Townsend Whelen, an internationally-known gun writer and rifleman. Another of his friends was Harry Pope, a world-famous rifle barrel maker. Mr. Stuart told me that Pope was cranky, eccentric, and very selective in choosing friends. Pope's shop and living quarters were on the fourth floor of an old factory building in Jersey City, New Jersey. Visitors made their presence known by yelling from the street. They were admitted only if Pope like them and was in a good mood. He always welcomed visits from Mr. Stuart. Two precision target rifles with barrels and accessories made by Pope were among Mr. Stuart’s prized possessions. He once gave Pope the opportunity to rent the upper floor of the general store in Washington for use as a shop, but Pope felt that he was too old for such a long move. Still another of Mr. Stuart’s famous friends was Colonel Edwin H. Harrison who retired from the Regular Army after a distinguished career in Ordnance, and then became a Senior Technical Advisor for the National Rifle Association. Colonel Harrison is one of the world’s foremost authorities on ballistics, and is especially noted for being accurate and meticulous. He hunted woodchucks wiin Mr. Muari on me siuari family farm in 1927. In assigning a mechanical project requiring special precision to Mr. Stuart, the Colonel would comment, "Here it is, Stuart. I know that when you do the job, it will be done right!” Mr. Stuart is survived by his daughter, Mary, of Rehrersburg, Pa., his son, John, daughter-in-law, Christa, and three grandchildren, of Silver Spring, Md. Services were conducted by the Reverend Jennings Hobson in Trinity Episcopal Church and at the Masonic Cemetery. The pallbearers were friends from the Agriculture Research Center Gun Club and the National Rifle Association Staff. He was laid to rest next to his wife, Nelle. who passed away in April, 1978. Piano Recital On June 25, piano students of Mrs. Bonnie Williams gave a piano recital at the Washington Baptist Church. The students performing were Stephanie Torneden, Daliah Macon, Alice Reeve, Jennifer Torneden, Wendy Compton, Gaby Lee, Britney Lee, Jennifer Vierling, Bonnie Grimsley, Amy Noakes, Kim Hall, Dorethea Butler and Kim Wayland.

In her remarks, Miss Aylor, who will attend James Madison University in the tall, thanked the school for her academic preparation and especially for the lesson of responsibility which she said she learned at Wakefield. In closing remarks to the graduating class, Dr. Lynn urged the students to adopt as their motto the stirring lines from Tenneyson’s poem “Ulyssess”, “...to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield". Lynn especially urged the students not to yield to /tornnir itiKon tVlPlf IlHO 1 C seem out of reach, or to cynicism when they experience first hand the corruption of the world.

Washington’s Misses Found Husbands On Road Crews Mrs. Mayse Dudley Campbell will be 92 years old this December. A resident of the town of Washington until about four years ago when she moved to the Tidewater area to be closer to her daughter. Mrs. Campbell was interviewed by Helen HolschuK president of the Rappahannock Historical Society. The following is excerpted from that in~ terview. Mayse Campbell was born in Washington in 1890 in the house next door to where Nature's Foods and Cafe and the post office now stands. Her father was superintendent of the Laurel Mills woolen mill. “They made the best wool. In fact, people complained that it would never wear out.” Her family lived across the road from the castle that was owned by the Smith family. “The spring where we all got our water was in the Smith yard. My father always said that was tne oesi water. There was a store and a swinging bridge across the river at Laurel Mills, according to Mrs. Campbell. “Could carriages cross the bridge? Oh no, it was only for walking! You had to ford the river in a carriage.” “Then my grandmother became very ill and my mother had to move back to town to take care of her. My father commuted then. He went by horse and stayed the week at Laurel Mills and boarded and then returned to Washington for the weekend,” Mrs. Campbell recalled. As a young girl, she remembers playing a lot of croquet for recreation and amusement. "Everybody had a croquet set and we had horses and we walked around town.” In those days, Washington was a thriving commercial hub. ‘‘There were three stores. Mr. Stuart had a store where Mr. Jenkins has his auction house now. And in the basement of that house was the best restaurant! They were colored folk but they only served white people. What food! The circuit court used to meet every month or maybe it was quarterly and they would feed them...My, it was wonderful to see the colored waiters all dressed in white, serving those dinners.” Mrs. Campbell went to the old “Rabbit Gum" school, named after a two-room contrivance used to catch rabbits. The school had two teachers “and they taught the ABCs up to Latin...We enjoyed school,” Mrs. Foreign & American Car Repairs 4 Specializing in German & Japanese Made Cars Jack s Service Center 30 Ashby Street Warrenton 347*3785 Campbell recalled. “We had loads of fun.” “Rabbit Gum” was just for primary students. Older children went to private schools, most with just a many got husbands from the road crew. That’s how I met Curtis,” Mayse Campbell recalled. “He came in here on the 14th day of November, 1914, — RappahanntM'k New* Photo/Bill Yountf MAYSE CAMPBELL was chairman of the fund drive to establish the town’s monument to itself as the first Washington of them all. Her committee raised $178 for the bronze tablet that was erected on December 7, 1932. handful of students, scattered around the county. Some youngsters received their education from private tutors in their homes, Mrs. Campbell said. When Mayse Campbell was 15, she left Rappahannock to attend high school at Mary Baldwin Seminary. “But 1 was not happy there. They were too strict. They were terrible!” Sh**came back when the Washington High School was completed and enrolled there for a year. “Our father gave each of us two years away at school. That was all he could afford to give us. So 1 was away from home for two years at a woman's college, the Richmond Temple Institute.” Husbands From Road Craws For a young woman in Washington just back from college, there were no amusements and nothing much to do, according to Mrs. Campbell. “But we had the best timel We’d all get together in the evening—a bunch of girls. We had the Fox girls, the t-oiien gins, uic Strong girls—all of them gone. We’d walk around town and Old Man Bagley (who lived at Avon Hall which was then located where the Rappahannock Clinic is now) would sit on his tront porch and call ’I don’t know where all of you girls are going to find husbands!’ But find them they did. In the early 1900s. the first macadam roads were being built in Rappahannock County with convict labor and mule teams. The convicts, who were camped just outside town had to be supervised and the pool of overseers provided the young ladies of Washington with a pool of prospective husbands. “You’d be surprised how and we were starting in with macadam roads through the town...He had a tent (with two other supervisors) and they had a convict cook for them and shine their puttels and other shoes and their horses were groomed so beautifully...My husband had the best looking horses. He always rode the best looking horses...But that’s where we all got our husbands—from the road crews.” According to Mrs. Campbell, when her husband-to-be came to Rappahannock’s Washington. ‘‘he said he found more people living better and doing less than anywhere he’d ever been and he was going to stay right here...He went in the service and of course went overseas and then he came back and we got married...He bought a farm and he jumped into all kinds of things. He grew apples and later he went into bridge construction. He built bridges all over Culpeper County.” G.W.

The program involves filling out a form with information on name of family doctor, hospital preference, brief medical history, medications being taken and who to call in case of an emergency. The form is inserted in a small canister which is attached by a rubber band to the upper left hand shelf of the home’s refrigerator. Rescue squads in the county will be notified to look or ask for the vial when they answer an emergency call. They can use the information in treating the patient and turn the form over to a doctor upon arrival at the hospital.

SWCB Adds “If’ To Sewer Grant (Continued from Page 1) and the system now proposed—but that money, if received, w ill fall far short of the $105,000 estimate from the engineer for his bill, according to Wilson. Big “IP’ Added Also last week, the SWCB decided to make award of the $1.4 million construction grant contingent upon the county’s securing the block grant funds from the state w hich w ill bring monthly user fees for the system down to the $10 range considered affordable by residents of Sperryville. “Without the block grant, the project is not going to be feasible for the community." Wilson said. "It sounds ominous but it's actually advantageous," he said of the added contingency. Wilson explained that by delaying the construction grant to see if Sperryville is awarded the $500,000 to $600,000 block grant the county will apply for next month, the SWCB is also lifting its October 1 deadline for submission of plans and specifications for the system. And if the block grant is awarded, action expected to come by mid-November, plans and specifications for the sewer project won’t have to be finished until the end of the fiscal year, he added. Jii in nu way nave we stepped away from giving you that com mi ted money for this fiscal year...But we don't want to give another construction grant without the Mock grant being there,” Wilson told the WSA. As to the poor odds for getting a grant adendum front EPA to cover redesign costs, Wilson suggested that the Authority "try to recoup design costs out of the block grant money.” No Help “For all these years, the SWCB has been saying we have a serious pollution problem in Sperryville and we've got to do something about it and now you're saying that you're not going to give us any help without a block grant." WSA secretary Bob Dennis responded. “We stretched out our necks to get the supervisors to help (with the loan of front money for design work)...If it (the sewer project) fizzles, it's not going to go again!” he warned. "What you’re saying is that the pollution’s okay if we can't solve the problem locally." At Hank Gerhart's request, Wilson affirmed that the SWCB's deadline of October I for submission of plans and specifications in order to qualify for the SI.4 million construction grant in FY 1983 had prompted the engineer to ask the WSA to get a guarantee from the Rappahannock supervisors on payment for design work. But the community has been operating at its own risk to some extent because the SWCB never indicated it would provide funds for redesign. Wilson added. "We may have been proceeding at our own risk but we were also proceeding with a hell of a lot of encouragement from the State Water Control Board!" Dennis countered. If the grant contingency added bv the SWCB is perceived “as a pull back, it’s going to make our job a lot more difficult." hp nHMpH John Capelle. executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission who is assisting the WSA with its block grant application, reported that the picture on securing funds from that source will become much clearer next week w hen the application forms are actually received. Grant requests will have to be submitted bv mid-September with awards expected to be announced by midNovember, he said. With $23,000 already owed to date to the engineers for redesign, the WSA members voted unanimously to deter action on further work authorization until a special meeting of the Authority is called by the chairman. “It appears the whole project is dependant on block grant funds." noted WSA member Donald Gore. "Are we going to be able to face the people of Sperryville (if the engineers are told to proceed on redesign) and the grants fall through and we have to assess their property to pay for a bushel of apples when they haven’t gotten the first one?” "The odds are still pretty good that the project’s going to be built but they've slipped a little bit and the timing has slipped a little bit,’’ Bob Dennis added. Wilson noted that the WSA could stop design work now and still have sufficient information for the • block grant application. “And as long as you’ve got that block grant in November, the State Water Control Board will hold the construction money for six to eight months," he said, adding that the lengthened deadline will allow plenty of time for design work to start up again.

He doesn't carry their concerns back to Washington. And he doesn’t ask questions. His record is a straight Republican vote every time...A congressman sometimes has to be a gadfly and not just accept the party position without thinking." Strong Opponent Dorrier acknowledged that he faces a tough, uphill battle in trying to unseat J. Kenneth Robinson, a 12-year veteran and conservative Republican. This year is the first in a long time that the Democrats have a chance in the 7th District, he maintained. "The tide is running our way. In this district and throughout the country, people are worried about the economy. People are suffering and they’re looking to Democrats for solutions." Dorrier said he plans to run a "positive campaign", making Robinson’s record the issue. “He's cast votes 1 would not have made.” he said, citing the incumbent Republican's vote against social security. “Your congressman just voted for a $100 billion deficit. He needs to be held accountable for that vote," Dorrier continued. “That deficit is doing nothing but holding interest rates up.” The 39-year old former supervisor of Albemarle County is optimistic about his chances for victory on November 2. “There are people whove climbed Mt. Everest when no one gave them a chance. They did it because the mountain was there and they were successful. I think we will be too.” Dorrier, who was selected as the 7th District’s candidate for Congress at the recent Democratic convention in Roanoke, is currently serving as commonwealth’s attorney for Albemarle, a position he won in 1979 with 66 percent of the vote. He was formerly a member of Albemarle’s board of ' supervisors, taking his seat in 1975 with 56 percent of the vote. The same county supported Republican Marshall Coleman for governor in last year bv more than a 50 percent margin. Native Virginian Dorrier’s wife Judy described the candidate as “a native son,” born and raised in Scottsville, a rural community in the foothills of the Blue Ridge. “It's very much like Washington. This place really reminds me of home.” She described the district her husband represented on the Albemarle board of supervisors as rural and conservative with ‘‘many farmers, small businessmen —and businesswomen.” The traditional values held by people of that district are values that her husband believes in as well, she said. "People go to church, they take part in public service," she noted, adding that her husband has continued the record of public service and community involvement set by his family for generations. A member of the Lions, Ruritans, Rotary and Elks, Dorrier is past president of the Charlottesville-Albemarle Mental Health Association and the Albemarle Historical Society. He has been active in efforts to establish a detoxification center for alcoholics in central Virginia, and in Albemarle was instrumental in organizing Neighborhood Watch Programs aimed at deterring A member of the Virginia Crime Prevention Association and the Crime Prevention Coalition, Dorrier recently served as a member of the Governor’s Ad Hoc Committee on Corrections Overcrowding in Virginia and initiated the regional Jefferson Area Community Diversion Program for nonviolent felons in central Virginia. As commonwealth's attorney, he has been successful in obtaining a 90 percent or better conviction record for felons in the Albemarle Circuit Court. Mosby Riders (Continued from Page 1) General Daniel Ullman, U.S.A., former Attorney General for the State of New York, was sick at The Maples for six weeks during the Civil War. While abed with typhoid, he was ‘captured’ by Major John Scott, C.S.A., of Fauquier County. Complimenting the major on some book he had written, the general won his favor. In return, Scott assured the Union officer that he “needn’t hurry to get well.” When Ullman recovered, Washington citizens sent a petition to Richmond, telling how considerate the general had been and as a result, he was soon released. First Wounded and Captured Rappahannock County_ owns the distinction of having its native sons the first soldier to be wounded and the first to be captured in the Civil War, according to a story which appeared in the June 2, 1927, edition of the Virginia Star. One week after Virginia seceeded in the spring of 1861, The Old Guard of Rappahannock County, one of the first military units to be called to the Confederate colors, left home for attachment to Ewell's command, quartered at the Fairfax Court House. Peyton Anderson and William Lillard, both Rappahannock boys, were assigned to picket duty on Falls Church Road with instructions to fire two shots of warning and retreat to Fairfax if they sighted the enemy. But the Union soldiers managed to get within striking distance without setting off an alarm. At daybreak, Anderson and Lillard found themselves surrounded by a detachment of the Second New York Cavalry which had marched out from Washington, D.C. In the skirmish that followed, Anderson was severely wounded. He fell from his horse and was left for dead, lying unconscious until about 4 p.m. when he was able to stagger to a nearby farm house for aid. He recovered and served under Mosby. Lillard was taken to Washington, D.C., the first Confederate prisoner of Mo*by’i Raider* Twenty or so Rappahannock boys served with Mosby but perhaps the most colorful were Robert Woodford “Bob Ridley” Eastham and Charlie Dear. According to Helen Holschuh, president of the county’s Historical Society, "Bob Ridley” was once trapped at Pleasant View Farm outside of Washington by Union troops. Warned that the enemy had arrived, he ran upstairs. The house was built in separate sections of stone, brick and logs and the upstair's portions of three sections had no second floor connections—to go from the brick to the stone section, it was necessary to first go downstairs to the first floor, cross to another stairway and then climb back up. While the Yankees were running up and down the steps, Eastham reportedly went out on the porch and leaped down into the saddle of his waiting horse to make his escape. According to a tale included in Ned and Elisabeth Johnson’s book of Rappahannock history, Eastham settled in West Virginia after the war. He was involved in an altercation with the son of a business rival, Frank Thompson, that erupted into violence. The story has it that Thompson wounded Eastham before Eastham fired back—through the pocket of his overcoat. When Thompson died two days later, “Bob Ridely’’ was charged with murder but was convicted of manslaughter at his trial nine months later. Sen^tenced to two years in the ■^county jail, Eastham supposedly escaped that night and headed back to Rappahannock with a posse at his heels. When the West Virginia deputation reached the county line, they were met by a local resident who warned them that lots of posses had gone into Rappahannock but none had ever returned. Finding discretion to be the better part of valor, the posse turned back and “Bob Ridely” Eastham finished out his life in Flint Hill, dying at the age of 82 in 1924. Charlie Dear, whose family owned Washington House, was IS years old at the start of the Civil War. Like his fellow Raider "Bob Ridely", he was a big man who required a big horse. In the most famous exploit of his military career. Dear lead a platoon which captured a federal paymaster by wrecking a Union train near the town of Marshall and escaped with $165,000 in spoils. After the war, he returned to Washington to manage Washington House at a time when the town was quite a summer resort for the city people who came out from Washington, D.C., and Baltimore to take the mountain air. Mary Edna Walker, who now lives in the former ordinary and boarding house, recalled a local legend about Charlie Dear's expertise with a knife. While the master of Washington House, the former rider with Mosby at the head of the long dining room table and carved the ham for supper. Dear didn’t need a boarding house reach to serve the meats. "He'd slice it and then flip it with his knife all the way down to the other end onto each and every plate. Supposedly, he never missed a one.” Mrs. Walker also remembered a story about a visitor who once had the audacity to describe Mosby’s Raiders as a bunch of cut throats. Charlie Dear is supposed to have grabbed his famous blade from off the meat platter and held it to the gentleman's throat. “Charlie said ‘Please take that back!' and the man did,” Mrs. Walker reported.

ABC Revenue Down 63% Profits generated by the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for the third quarter are down 63 percent from the amount distribu . 1 to Virginia’s cities, counties and towns for the same period last year. Out of a statewide total of $237,626, Rappahannock County will receive $259 and the town of Washington $10.97. According to the ABC, net profits are down primarily because the department no longer collects a $2 a gallon tax previously levied on mixed beverage licensees. In addition, the Appropriations Act to Mental Health and Mental Retardation for the care, treatment, study and rehabilitation of alcoholics calls for a third quarter increase of $210,930 in funds transferred directly from ABC profits to the Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation. The total allotment of ABC revenue for. alcoholic programs in the third quarter is $5,669,950. Rappahannock County will also receive $886 as its per capita share of the $777,613 generated from the sale of wine during the third quarter. 1,1982 I I Eldreds To Do OSU Fixtures Mr. and Mrs. Charles Eldred, owners of Washington House of Reproductions in Washington, have contracted to do the reproduction of lighting fixtures at Oklahoma State University.

A PIECE O’ CAKE urges Urge To Gold to take a nibble as his delighted owner and cake walk winner Marion Eastham accepts the delectable prize from Fauquier Foxes president Tammy Messick. Eastham Takes Cake Walk The highlight of the Fauquier Foxes 4-H horse and pony show held last week at Casanova was the special cake walk won by Marion Eastham of Red Hill Farm near Amissville. The ring at Weston Game Preserve was filled with an assortment of two-footed and four-footed entries, close to 50 in all, who were willing to pay at least a dollar to benefit the Riding for the Handicapped program. Marion and her companion, Urge For Gold, took home a magnificent, custom decorated butter cream frosted, lemon yellow horse shoe as their prize. The duo also took a third place in the green horse hack class. Parlegrecos Take Honors It was Parlegreco almost all the way at the finals of the Rappahannock Recreation Authority’s tennis tournament held last Saturday and Sunday at Dr. and Mrs. Werner Krebser’s courts at Huntly. In women’s singles on Sunday. Poula Parlegreco breezed by Theresa McLawhorn, 6-0, 6-1. Then she combined with her husband Steve to overwhelm the team of Jean Lillard and Rod Kirkpatrick in mixed doubles play, 6-1, 6-1. In women’s doubles championship the previous afternoon, Parlegreco and Lillard joined forces to down Sharon Luke and Diane Bruce, 7-6, 6-2. The only time the Parlegreco name didn’t appear in the winner’s slot was after Sunday’s men's singles final. Nineteen-yearold Keith Hutchinson was all concentration as he demolished Steve Parlegreco, 6-0. 6-0, in a match that spectators described, as ‘‘beautiful tennis” and “fantastic to watch.” In earlier action on Saturday. Merle Strange bested Cancy Coombs in the "A” flight of women's singles, 6-0. 6-1. Slow Pitch Tournament Clarke County Parks and Recreation Department will sponsor its second annual slow pitch softball tournament on July 30 and 31 and August 1 in Berryville.

In the "A” bracket of men’s singles, Doug Baumgardner sweated through a hard fought match with Jon Lee, winning 3-6, 63, 6-3. Tired from the effort, Rappahannock’s commonwealth’s attorney lost to Rod Kirkpatrick in the final, however, 6-0, 6-1. In an exciting men’s doubles championship, the team of Dennis Fairbrother and Jens Tholan was victorious over Rayner Snead and Rod Kirkpatrick, 6-0, 46, 6-1. Fee Dropped Effective July 1, the laboratory fee for testing horses for Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) will no longer be charged. Testing horses for EIA is the responsibility of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' Division of Animal Health and Dairies. The 1982 session of the General Assembly passed legislation to abolish the laboratory fee of approximately S2.50 for each test. According to State Veterinarian, Dr. George B. Estes, the rationale for dropping the laboratory fee is that since the testing is required by law, the horse owner should not have to pay for the laboratory work involved. EIA is an acute or chronic virus disease of horses, characterized by fever, depression, weakness, loss of weight and anemia. The current EIA regulations require the testing of horses during certain conditions such as horse shows, trail rides or whenever horses are involved in a group event. The disease is transmitted by mosquitoes and-or biting flies. <3#€€NY'°'i Distinctly* Fashions for Ages 13-100 Main Street / Marshall, Virginia 364-1959 We are having a TREMENDOUS SALE Beginning Monday, July 5 Monday through Saturday lfc00-5:00 — Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne Hutchinson THE SPORTSMANSHIP TROPHY for 1981-82, Rappahannock County High School’s most prestigious athletic honor, went to Eugene Grigsby (left).

I Gentlemen Justices Of The Court The old adage, “crime doesn’t pay,” was never truer than when punishment was meted out to criminals by the “gentlemen justices” of Rappahannock County. As recorded in the first minute book of the county court, the penalties they handed down seem harsh when measured against today’s standards. The first capital sentence imposed by the “gentlemen justices”, or magistrates, was in the March court session of 1834 against Lucy, a female slave who was the property of Elizabeth Berkley. Lucy was charged with arson for burning the house, kitchen, stable and meat house of Elijah Anderson. She was tried, found guilty and sentenced to be hanged by the neck until dead. But the commonwealth's attorney asked for clemency for the 20-year-old slave whose value was fixed at S250. Her sentence was instead commuted to “sale and transportation beyond the limits of the United States.” In the May session of 1835, Stephen, a slave who belonged to the heirs of 1 ournament The bracketed round robin tournament with four games guaranteed will benefit Marshall’s youth baseball program. Registration deadline is July 3. For further information, contact G.B. Frazier at 253-5594 or Lewis Lee, Jr., at 347-7805. James Jones, was accused of burglarizing a house and taking away “one great coat, $6; one blanket, $4, and one wagon tent, $5.” The "gentlemen justices” found Stephen not guilty of burglary but guilty of larceny and sentenced him to 39 lashes on his bare back. In the July term of 1835, Vincent King and William White received ten years in prison for stealing “four pounds of sugar valued at 50 cents.” In addition, the court ordered that for one-eighth of their term, the prisoners should be fed on a “low and coarse diet.” Jack, a slave valued at $750 who belonged to John Late, also received a death sentence from the fledgling Rappahannock court in its April, 1836, term. He was found guilty of stealing four pieces of bacon worth $12. But again, the commonwealth’s attorney was successful in getting the sentence commuted to sale and transportation beyond the U. S. limits. Zealously Guarded According to Ned and Elisabeth Johnson's book, Juniors Begin Tournament Play started last week in a junior tennis tournament sponsored by the Rappahannock Recreation Authority. Semi-finals will be held Friday morning, July 2, with final matches scheduled for Saturday morning, July 3. All contests will be at Summerbeth courts in Huntly. Number one seed Chris White will play the winner of the match between Lee Baines and Bill Armstrong. Tod Landis, who defeated Diedre Coombs Tuesday morning (6-0, 6-1), will face Nicholas Bischoff and Frans Hansen will go up against the winner of the Charles HuberRod Rob Dicket match. Bobbie D. Gehringer will, play the winner of the contest between John Landis and Bob Baines. Disability Re-examined People who receive Social .Security or supplemental security income (SSI) payments because they are disabled can expect to have their claim reviewed at least once every 3 years unless they have a severe condition considered permanent, Bruce A. Hundley, Social Security manager in Culpeper, said recently. Recent studies have shown that some people on the disability rolls no longer meet all requirements for benefits. Social Security, as required by law, began a large—scale effort to make sure that only eligible individuals continue to receive disability checks. In addition, this effort is in line with the goal to improve administration of the disability programs. In part, the new law recognizes the many advances that have been made in medical science and rehabilitation techniques over the past 25 years that Social Security has paid disability checks, Hundley said. People who had little hope for recovery from an accident or illness then have a better chance today of returning to gainful work. More information about the review of disability claims can be obtained at the Culpeper Social Security office, located at 806 North Main Street. The telephone number is825-3500.

Fiction, Foolishness and Fairfax Story,” the position of “gentlemen justice” was zealously guarded because of the prestige involved. Appointments were made by the justices themselves which often led to the reins of county government resting in the hands of a few powerful families. Until the new Constitutuion was adopted in 1851, the justices served without pay. Appoin' tnts to the position ’a to be approved by the State Legislature and the first name on the approved list was the senior justice, usually awarded the job of sheriff as well. “It was not allowed to become a monopoly, however, because a sheriff was appointed for only one year, with reappointment for only one additional year allowed. Only the death or resignation of a Justice could improve one’s standing in the line of seniority. New members went to the bottom of the list,” the Johnsons note in their book. “Actually this was a good system,” the county’s historians conclude. “Since there were no minimum requirements of age, knowledge, or training for appointment as a Justice, these men furnished a nucleus of experience for the conduct of business of a new county. The Justices made up for their lack of legal training by their business experience and by their good, hard, common sense. They were amateurs ruling by natural law, and their decisions were usually fair and right.” And they did more than oversee the criminal justice system. According to the Johnsons’ book, their duties covered all aspects of county life, from issuing marriage licenses and ordering quarantines of both people and livestock to arranging apprenticeships for poor orphaned children and establishing rates at ferries and tool toll roads and charges at ordinaries and taverns. i—111 iljwi) — PkotimMirtm «tf Mr*.

Illicit Love Led James Johnson To The Gallows , By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Ripp«hanno<-li Vw. Suff Writer “Nothing has ever occurred in the county creating so deep an interest.” An anonymous member of the Rappahannock Bar wrote those words in 1859 to describe the trial of James H. Johnson. One hundred and twenty-three years later, that unidentified lawyer’s description still holds true. Nothing has happened in Rappahannock before or since to match the drama, suspense and horror of the story that unfolded at the March term of Circuit Court over a century ago. It has all the elements of the sensational novels that soar to the top of today’s best seller lists: a handsome, philandering husband who married for wealth and not for love, an illicit affair that led to an unwanted pregnancy, a secret birth and Suspected infantcide, a brutal murder and a convicted killer who went to the gallows protesting his innocence. “Never in my experience have 1 seen a chain of circumstantial evidence more complete, more consistent, or more conclusive of guilt,” said the judge in sentencing Johnson to die. bui as ne siooa tor tne hangman's noose to tighten around his neck, James Johnson insisted that his life had been sworn away by prejudice and ill will on the part of his enemies. Instead of blurting out a last confession to settle his worldly accounts as he waited for the trap to spring, Johnson named the witnesses he accused of lying—names that are ommitted from the record kept by the reporting attorney. But that long ago member of the bar collected the rest of the story for a curious public. On file at the county Historical Society, its pages now wrinkled and yellowed by age, the little booklet presents the tale of what Judge John Tyler described as the aftermath of “an adulterous and guilty passion which, like a tornado, has blasted in its course the reputation of a deluded female, wrecked her peace and happiness forever, and has spread death, desolation and destruction." Well-To-Do Fenner James Johnson came from an honorable and highly thought of family of well-to-do Rappahannock farmers. He was 36 years old at the time of his trial but was described as looking much younger. Five-foot, ten inches tall with coal black hair and eyes, heavily whiskered and mustached, he had a ruddy complexion “and everything indicative of a sanguine, bilious temperament." The laywer who wrote the account noted that Johnson looked "anything else but the black hearted, remorseless villain which he has proven to be." Sometime in 1849 or 1850, he married Miss Alice Dulen, a highly respectable and pious young lady from Loudoun 'County. Initially, their union appeared happy and the couple had several children. With Alice’s money— probably S2.000 or more— Johnson purchased his family’s farm following the death of his father in a bizaare hunting accident. ‘‘He stocked the farm, rcommenced business, and for some years bore the reputation of an industrious, thrifty man. But habits of profligacy latterly overtook him, and at the time of his arrest, he was found deeply involved in debt,” the unidentified bar member related. Illicit Love The habits of profligacy may have begun with an illicit affair, his lover Miss Mary E. Shreve, the niece of Johnson's wife and the daughter of a wealthy and “most estimable gentleman” of Loudoun County. Probably meeting her while visiting his wife’s family, Johnson returned in the late summer of 1857 to find his Mollie staying with relatives as she prepared to enter the Catholic Female Seminary at Frederick City, Md. Just coming from a meeting with her father, James told Mollie that her parent had agreed to her visiting Johnson’s house for a few weeks to see her aunt who was ill and anxious to have her niece there. Before leaving for Rappahannock, Mollie wanted to stop at her home to pick up her clothes but Johnson persuaded her to abandon that request, promising that he would return soon to Loudoun on business and would get whatever she needed. They arrived at the Johnson house in August, 1857. Auburn Haired Beauty Mollie was a beautiful girl, about 18 years of age with dark auburn hair, blue eyes, educated and intelligent but "simple and childlike in her manners.” According to the unidentified chronicler, she soon became a favorite of Rappahannock society. ‘‘No one doubted her purity and chastity” and the residents of Washington assumed that she was staying at the Johnson home out of charity attributable to an affection for her aunt. Her father, however, believed she was still visiting friends and it was some weeks after her departure before he discovered that she had accompanied Johnson to Rappahannock. After nearly a year had elapsed, he wrote a letter ordering her home at once but the letter was picked up at the Washington post office 21st ANNUAL AMISSVILLE RURITAN Beef Barbecue Dinner SATURDAY, JULY 3 4-8 at the Amissville Fire House Chinese Auction Door Prize Window Quilt™ * Thermal Shade cuts window heat loss up to 79%. * Helps keep Summer Heat out. * Payback in 2-5 years. * Easy to in 'all, easy to operate.

Instead, James told her that he’d received communication from her father granting permission for her to stay with her aunt until autumn. A few months later, another letter from her father arrived, this one reaching Mollie's hands and repeating the order that she return. “But to return home could not be thought of. Shame and degradation would soon overtake her under her father’s roof. It was but too evident to her mind that she carried wjthin her bosom the germinating fruit of a guilty passion, for which she had bartered her eternal happiness, welfare and peace of mind,” the author of the report maintained. Mollie wrote her father that she was ill “and went so far as to have her fair tresses shaven close, in order the better to impose the deceit.” Ostracized At about the same time, in the winter of 1858, “dark and suspicious” rumors regarding “improper intimacy” between Mollie Shreves and James Johnson began to circulate. Mollie’s female friends stopped their visits and she found herself no longer welcome in their homes or even recognized on the street. But according to the chronicler, she appeared "perfectly infatuated with the fiend who had wrought her ruin, and was so lost to all sense of shame and female delicacy as to usurp the nuptial bed of her aunt; and that, too, in her presence.” At the trial, Mr. Corbin, a boarder in the Johnson house in 1856 and 1857, testified that he had seen Johnson in bed with Miss Shreve at different times: “Mrs. Johnson was usually in a trundle bed with the children, Mr. Johnson and Miss Shreve lying in the other bed—the big bed.” Evidence indicates that it was during this winter when a child, “the germinating fruit of a guilty passion .’’ was born to Mollie. Shreve. According to the author of the booklet, Johnson confessed after his trial that the birth occurred in his home and that he buried the baby boy near the house. “A party of gentlemen” dispatched to search found the remains of an infant in a shallow hole, the body covered with a strip of chestnut bark. Johnson denied positively ever having improper intimacy with his wife’s niece and said she was pregnant when she came to his w„..,„ _: - - - - was born prematurely and he concealed it to hide her shame. But after Mollie was taken by her father to his home in Loudoun, she wrote Johnson, asking him if “you ever go to our baby’s grave?” and if he thought of her there (the letter dated February 8, 1858). Then on March 30, she wrote that she wished “my boy, my baby were living...Yes, if you had left and given me my baby, then indeed would the place in my heart, now void, been occupied." The author of the booklet saw her longing to have kept the infant as evidence that the babe was bom alive and “taken from her and destroyed by her remorseless seducer, or others in conjunction with him.” Then in a letter to Johnson dated March, 1958, “Little Mollie,” as she signed the message, wrote "I never intend to go with you until after the death of Aunt, unless you get a divorce. You would go to Kentucky, and stay twelve months and a day. The law would then grant you the privilege of choosing another bride. The very idea of such a thing appears wicked. I wonder, poor woman, if she suspects the sorrows in store for her. And for me, sometimes when I think of our plans, how wicked and sinful they are. I almost say I’ll do no such thing; but, then, if 1 were to marry another, I never could love him like I love you.” But James Johnson never went to Kentucky. Instead, according to testimony at his trial, he began to spread the word among his friends and acquaintances that he wouldn’t be surprised if his wife Alice died at any time as she was “subject to spells.” Ruse Unsuccessful His ploy failed. On the evening of the 11th day of June, 1858, the citizens of the usually quiet town of Washington were thrown into excitement by a rumor that a most inhuman and diabolical miirder had been perpetrated in their midst. Alice Johnson had indeed died suddenly but under circumstances that shifted suspicion on her husband. He was indicted following a post mortem and inquest, his trial set for the March term of Circuit Court. Opening day, the courtroom was crowded to suffocation with almost 2,000 people. Every spot within hearing distance where a foothold could be obtained was occupied. Daniel W. Botts, John G. Parks, P. M. Finks, David Creel, James W. Fletcher, Albert R. Singleton, James A. Ryan, Winterton Murphy, Lewis C. Botts, William W. Brown, Puller A. Hughes and Richard Thornhill were empaneled as jury and the trial began with testimony from an alleged eyewitness to the poisoning. James Carter told the court that he had been asked to go home with Johnson on June 10, 1858, and look at some sheep he had to sell. After examining the stock, Johnson asked Carter in foe some lemonade. The young man protested that he couldn't spare the time since he had to return a borrowed horse to Washington but Johnson prevailed upon him to stop for refreshments for just a few minutes. “There I met Mrs. Johnson, and inquired about her health,” Carter testified. “And she told me she was well, but she believed she was the only one of the family that was well—that the children were all sick.” Johnson came out with two glasses of lemonade, gave one iv) mb wne anu Kepi me second himself. When Mrs. Johnson asked why he hadn’t given Carter a glass, her husband explained that the lemonade in the glasses contained aloes bitters and that since their guest didn't drink spirits, he could help himself from the pitcher and glasses on the table behind her, Carter said. Bitter Drink Carte/ recalled that Mrs. Johnson complained about the bitterness of her lemonade only to have her husband remind her that Dr. Kinsey had said it would do her good to drink it. Johnson asked for her empty glass to rinse out, saying that there may be a few aloes left in it, according to the witness. Immediately after finishing the lemonade, the two men left. About a quarter of a mile outside of Washington, Johnson's hired man Franklin Gearing caught up to them with the message that Mrs. Johnson would “die very soon if not relieved." According to Carter, Johnson sent the man after a doctor and turned for home himself. Accused Husband Gearing told the jury that he was cleaning up wheat when he heard Mrs. Johnson scream and ran to the house to find her in convulsions, crying that she’d been poisoned. She told the hired man that her husband wanted her out of the way and that if she recovered, she would never drink anything from his hands as long as she lived. According to Gearing’s testimony, her littfc five-yearold daughter asked, “Ma, are you going to die?” and Mrs. Johnson answered, “Yes, my child, and your father has poisoned me.” Dr. J. S. Browning testified that he was called to the Johnson house with Dr. A. W. Read of Washington to perform a post mortem examination. Finding all the woman’s organs healthy, they removed her stomach and its contents and placed them in the hands of Dr. R. E. Rogers of the University of Pennsylvania for analysis. Rogers told the jury he found evidence of strychnine in both. Other witnesses swore that Johnson had argued against a post mortem, complaining that “the necessary mutilation of his wife's body would be repulsive to his feelings.” Miss Lucinda Hoff, who arrived at the Johnson house about a half hour after Alice’s death, recalled Johnson saying he had no doubt his wife was poispned but maintaining that he was not the guilty party. She also testified that Johnson asked her to swear that his wife was “subject to fits” and in ill health. Witness after witness told the jury that Mrs. Alice Johnson had been a healthy woman with no physical complaints. Several neighbors called to testify by the defense said that they had never seen any bad treatment on the part of ■Johnson toward his wife; that the couple appeared to live together affectionately. But according to Miss Susan Elliott, she heard Johnson tell Alice that he "married her for riches, not for love.” Two witnesses testified that Johnson had strychnine in his possession. One had purchased some a few months earlier from the accused to poison sheep killing dogs and the second recalled Johnson telling him he bought it to protect his sheep. B. F. Kinsey, the physician who had attended both the Johnsons and Miss Mollie _ __ :ti_a_ attend the trial. But by deposition, he reported that Johnson frequently obtained aloes from him and had done so just a short time before Alice's death. The doctor noted, however, that he’d always thought the aloes were for James Johnson’s own use. Thirty-seven witnesses had been summoned on behalf of the defendant but of that list, only six took the stand. Their testimony, as reported by the unidentified member of the Rappahannock Bar.did little to help the accused. The case went to the jury at 3:30 p.m. on June 11. Ten minutes later, they returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. The unidentified chronicler watched James Johnson as the verdict was read. “Not a muscle moved, nor could the slightest change be detected in his countenance. He appeared as stoical and indifferent to his fate as one can well imagine. His cheek neither blanched nor paled, or his lip quivered, and the only sign of emotion to be detected in him was a nervous twitching of his fingers, accompanied by a scowling glance which he cast upon the large crowd of anxious spectators by whom he was surrounded.” The following morning, Johnson was brought back into court for sentencing. He still maintained his stoicism and it wasn't until the Judge Tyler alluded to his wife that the prisoner showed any emotion, his eyes flooding with tears. “Doubtless the shades of his murdered wife—his murdered babe, accompanied by the vision of the one whom he had ruined—whom he had morally murdered and cast upon the cold world, a poor, blighted thing of earth. flitted before his vision for a moment,” the anonymous chronicler wrote. Sentenced To Hang “In the long black catalogue of guilt and woe that make up the criminal record which has come down to us, there is no deed that stands out in colors of deeper, darker malignity than yours,” the judge told Johnson as he sentenced him to death by hanging on Friday, the 13th of May. At 1 p.m. on that day, guarded by a volunteer corps of musketry, Johnson was led through a crowd of near 5,000 to the gallows. He climbed the platform with a firm step, turned to the sea of faces that surrounded him and “in a clear and distinct tone of voice, manifesting neither fear or excitement” maintained his innocence. James Johnson proclaimed ' that his life had been falsely sworn away through prejudice and ill will on the cart of some of his enemies. He conceded that his trial had been fair and impartial. He .didn’t blame the jurors for his wrongful conviction but rather the witnesses who had sworn falsely against “Other witnesses had also told all they knew or thought would operate to his detriment, carefully withholding anything that would speak in his behalf,” the chronicler reported Johnson as saying. Johnson claimed he did not poison his wife and that his own life had been in danger from the machinations of her friends. The crime was committed, he said, “by one of a darker hue than himself.” As to his friend in^ Loudoun, he said but little, the lawyer reported. “The young lady whose name had been so freely spoken of in connection with his, was innocent of some of the charges preferred against her—though chargeable with some,” the prisoner alleged. According to the anonymous author of the trial story, James Johnson then turned to the sheriff and said he was ready. "The noose was adjusted about his neck, the trap sprung, and the unfortunate being was launched into eternity." As to Mollie Shreve, “soon after the development of the unfortunate events which wrought her shame and ruin, and condemned her naramonr to an ionnminniK death, she left her paternal home to reside with a relative somewhere in the far West," the unidentified chronicler reported. “We heard of her but a few days ago—but not as the gay and beautiful girl described in a preceeding page; but on the contrary, a poor, penitent, heart-broken woman.” The author saw a message in her fate: it is always the daughters of society who are doomed to degradation and misery for prostitution rather than the villainous men who seduce and betray the poor beings. “The philanthropist has often asked, ‘Is there no remedy for this?' We answer ‘None!’ unless society (and here we mean females in particular) exclude from their presence all men who are guilty of seduction or libertinism, or who have trifled with the sacred affection of their sex in any form. But, we fear, this is something to be prayed, rather than hoped for." +H—h+ Evil deeds do not prosper; the slow man catches up with the swift. —Homer 25% OFF ALL SPRING/SUMMER FABRICS Except Ultrasuede Now thru Saturday, July 10th CIoqoH Mnnrlai i !■ il> ■ C CLEARBROOK WOOLEN SHOP U S. 11 or Exit 83,1-81 Open 9 a.m. 5 p.m. Clearbrook, VA Monday Saturday __ . __ -R«pr>ah.nn.« k l>hnl../|>nTH> Witing STARTING JULY 1, the new position of Special Service Co-ordinator, which was just approved in the 1982-83 budget, will be filled by Pam Rowe.

Lunar Eclipse Comine July 6 Viewers throughout Virginia will have a chance to see one of the greatest celestial shows of the century when a total eclipse of the moon occurs in the early morning hours on Tuesday, July 6. According to Dr. Paul H. Knappenberger, Jr., director of theScience Museum of Virginia, the moon begins entering Earth’s shadow at 1:33 a.m. EDT and is totally eclipsed by 2:38 a.m. “During the eclipse, the moon may turn a deep copper color as the earth’s atmosphere bends certain colors of sunlight onto the moon’s surface,’’ Knappenberger explained. The moon begins to emerge from Earth’s shadow at 4:24 a.m. and the eclipse ends at 5:29 a.m., signaling the end of the longest total lunar eclipse of the century. No special equipment will be necessary to view the eclipse. If skies are clear, the eclipse will be visible to the iked eye throughout the .stern Hemisphere Skyline Crafts We Have Added Leather, Wind Chimes, Forged Iron, Walnut Bowls and New Toys To Our Stock of Quality Regional Handcrafts Including Wood, Pottery, Fabric, Glass, Dolls, Metal, Watercolors, Stained Glass, Games, Candles, and Much More Open Thursday thru Monday, 10:30 to 5:30 (Closed Tuesday & Wednesday) US 340 in Front Royal, 1 block North of Skyline Drive Entrance —FOOT FACTS Dr. Bruce Vogel Podiatrist Foot Specialist “GROWING PAINS” Many patients will bring their children into the office because they are complaining of pain in their feet and legs. The pain is often directly attributed to a poorly functioning foot. As a matter of fact, it is quite common for a flatfooted child to complain of aching leg muscles, especially after activity. When the foot is not functioning properly excessive stress is placed on these leg muscles and they may go into spasm. All children will complain of some discomfort in parts of their body from time to time, but recurrent pain in the same area should be followed up. A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment. From the office of Dr. Bruce Vogel, Certified by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery, 85 Garrett Street, Warrenton, Va. 347-9393.

Summer Days Are Salad Days By I.ORRIE YOUNG Nu|>|uihann<H'k New* S|M*rial V rilrr With summer here and more people on the go, salads come into focus as an alternative to heavy, cook-allday meals that leave the kitchen steaming and the diners overstuffed and immobile. When it comes to salads, no two have to be alike. Salads can make use of many varied ingredients and can take on many forms. It doesn't have to be lettuce, tomato and cucumber with French dressing every night. Alternating dressings and ingredients adds variety and helps prevent the “salad blahs.” As a delightful change, crudites, a French term for crisp, raw vegetables, can be served with a dip or just a blue cheese dressing. If the cook is in a rush at supper time, the vegetables can be cut ahead but to maintain crispness, the cut vegetables should be stored separately in covered, air-tight containers Filled with water. Try an inventive salad to increase your repertoire while gardens are spilling over with lettuce, spinach, cabbage, radishes and other fresh ingredients. Since there’s a "garden variety” of salad ideas, there may never be a need to make the same salad twice.
