Dear Editor,

that I am the wife 20 yrs. of the (3rd
Time escape) and he walked off only
once at Summers County Jail. He
wasn't able to get a release date,
being used to being outside Con-
Itruetion worker, he was sent out to
get something at 7:00 p.m., he never

Sun. mornings to take some of the
inmates to Church. Or putitin their
probation agreement that they must
attend Church somewhere on Sun.
morning.
I know someone at the jail, an
inmate that can't have books, can't
have this and that because he was a

This has been going on since Dr.

RECOLLECTIONS

Ring of hostilities of the Civil War.
"Upon the dMnemberment of
Virginia by the formation of the State
of West Virginia, in 1864, the own.
erehip of that portion of the Coving.
ton and Ohio Railroad then partially
mmstructed, lying within the terri.
torial limits of Weet Virginia, devel.
oped upon the state.
"At their first meeting after the
'Civil War, legislatures ofboth states
passed acts entitled, "An Act to in-
corporate the Covington and Ohio
Railroad Company." Both states
appointed €ommiioners to finance
the enterprise. Legislation was also
enacted to aid in the rehabilitation
of the Virginia Central which had
suffered sorely during the progress
of hostilities.
"In Feb. and Mar. of 1867, the
legislatures of W.Va. and Vs. passed
"An Act to provide for the completion
of a line or lines of railroad from the
waters ofthe Chesapeake to the Ohio
River." By this act additional privi.
leges were conferred upon the Cov-
ington and Ohio Railroad commis-
sioners for the construction of the
work, with the provision that in the
event such contract be made, it
should thereafter be known as the

"START OF ROAD
"In the spring of 1861, the Vir-
ginia Central was a growing con-
cern. One <)fits lines was 195 miles
in length, extending from Richmond
to Jackson's River, ten miles east of
Covington, Vs. During the progress
of extensions the policy of Virginia
was to carry the road to the Ohio
River. This had been established by
a delegation to the Board of Public
Works of Virginia. An act had been
passed on Feb. 15, 1863, giving au-
thority to construct a road from
Covington or thereabouts to the Ohio
River. It was to be known as the
Covington and Ohio Railroad.
"Construction of the extension
westward was undertaken by the
Commonwealth of Virginia entirely
upon its own account, and was prose-
cuted by means of state appropria-
tions until interrupted by the begin-

drinks from friends. If he was that
drunk how can he remember what
and how much he drank? But', he
can't now remember what happened
in the alley? He knows exactly what
happened but for fear of being in-
cluded in a brutal crime his memory
now fails. He told the truth the first
time while he was scared. Now there
is time passed to think and change
it. Now as for the actions of the
madstrate he had two ways togo. To
believe the first statement and prose-
cute, or the I was drunk story and
turn him loose. He chose the second

Is not giving false information not
a crime? Under oath facing perjury
charges his memory may have re-
turned. There is something rotten in
Denmark and it's not all cheese ei-

To The Editor
Mr. Fred Long
Dear Fred,
I would like to add a few €om-
ments in support of the letter you
received concerning the beating in
the alley. Not only was this a brutal
crime, but one of the greatest mis-
carriages of Justice to ever happen
in Summers CO. The presence of
Law and order was absent and con-
tinues so to this date. This Justice of
the Peace acted as both Judge and
Jury. His decision not to prosecute is
an injustice and a direct insult to the
family and the court system.
He had a statement from the
witness identifying the quilt)' per-
son of attempted murder. Then the
witness changed his story. %Vhy.
My guess is the witness was ap-
proached by the would be killer and
told to change his story for fear of
being convicted for attempted mur-
der. Then the question became how
to do it. Tell them you were drunk.
That he did remembering in detail
every drink he had.
There were several one halffifths
mentioned a case ofbeer along with

"CONTRACT MADE
A contract was made on Aug. 31,
1868, between the commissioners of
Vs. and W.Va., and the Virginia
Central undertook to construct the
railroad. It was thereafter to be
known as the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company, and was entitled
to all the rights, interests, and privi-
leges of the Virginia Central.
By virtue of the contract, the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
Company was organized, but being
without the means necessary to
complete the work, General Williams
Carter Wickham, then president of
the company, interested Mr. Collis
P. Huntington and his associates in
the undertaking, and on Nov. 16,
1869 a contract was made which
resulted in the successful comple-
tion of the enterprise from Coving-
ton to Huntington, the connecting
rail being laid in Jan., 1873. In the
meantime, it acquired the legal title
to the Blue Ridge Railroad.
"In 1873 the road became involved
in financial difficulties. In 1875
Henry Tyson was appointed receiver
upon the application of a small
minority of bondholders, to the U.S.
Court at Richmond. This litigation
was eventually dismissed and Ty-
son discharged as receiver. On Jan.
21, 1876, the property was turned
over to Genera] Williams Carter
Wickham who had been appointed
receiver.
"REORGANIZE COMPANY
"During the receivership, a plan
for reorganizing the company was
completed and the proceedings re-
sulted in the sale and conveyance of
the property to C. P. Huntington, A.
S. Hatch, A. A. Low, Isaac Daven-
port, Jr., and John Castree, a com-
mittee of purchasers became and
were duly incorporated under the
style of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company. This, then, was
the beginnJ ng of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Ra!!way Company, and how it
arrived at the name it now bears.
"The story of development of the
railroad over a route originally in-
tended as a waterway system of
transportation is one of hardships
and difficulties not unlike those
experienced by the early builders of
many of our country's rail systems.
They had to bridge streams, bore
through mountains, fill ravines, and
chisel ledges into rocky mountain
sides in order that a rail system
might link the waters of the Chesap-
eake with those of the Ohio.
"No doubt the building of the rail-
road through the New River Gorge
was the most hazardous undertak-
ingofthe whole system. No continu-
ous road existed through the canyon
and the equipment was transported
down the river in sixty-foot flat-bot-
tom boats. Engineers had to be sus-
pended by ropes in locations where
the cliffs extended into the river, so
as to locate the line."

three.

Roughly one-third of the popu-
lation experiences some type of
sleep problem. Statistics indicate
that about half of all of those who
have insomnia, the medical term
for sleep disturbances, take some
type of medicine for the problem at
some point in their lives. Accord-
ing to a recent article in Pharmacy
Times, physicians write more than
20 million prescriptions each year
for hypnotics - sleep medicines,
Nonprescripiion sleep-aids
bc helpful in relieving certain types
of insomnia. The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) recently de-
termined'that three sleep-aid prod-
uct ingredients are safe and effec-
tive for general use. These ingredi-
ents are doxylamine succinate,
diphenhydramine hydrochloride,
and diphenhydramine citrate. Al-
coholic beverages should be avoided
when taking prescription or non-
prescription sleep-aids.
Before using a sleep-aid con-
sider these suggestions:
• Avoid stimulants such as caffeine
and nicotine.
• Avoid daytime naps and heavy
meals just prior to bedtime.
• Relax prior to bedtime by reading
or listening to easy music.
