The newspapers of the County of
Guilford have here, as they have ev
erywhere, been important factors in
shaping public sentiment. In the
early days of the statehood of the col
onies they acclaimed to her people the
strength of unity, and when the hand
of the -.usurper was placed on their
throat in the sixties it was the "Po
- triot," true to its name, that-called
on the sons of Guilford to meet force
with force, and the pages of history
covering the four years of conflict are
emblazoned with the deeds of mighty
prowess of the sons of Carolina. When
the white-winged dove of peace car
ried the olive branch across the terri
tory of a re-united nation in 1865 it
was the press of the County j which
first called upon the people to adapt
themselves to the new conditions. How
well the citizens of Guilford responded
is told in the hum of her factories,
and the ousy marts-'of her towns, the
prosperity of her agriculturists, the
excellence of her schools and the
spires of her churches, which like
perpetual figures in the air point the
way heavenward as the press has
pointed . the way onward to pros
perity. THE PATRIOT.
The Patriot is the oldest paper in
the State. It was started in 1821
(some claim earlier) and has been con
tinuously published ever since.
It was started by Evans (C. N. V.)
and Clancey, who were succeeded by
William Swain, whose, successors were
Lyndon Swain and M. S. Sherwood.
Colonel James A. Long, of Randolph,
was at one time connected with it;
also Hon. D. F. Caldwell and A. W.
Ingold. About 1867 James W. and
Robert II. Albrighty who had' been
publishing the Times on West Market
Street, secured control of the Patriot
and consolidated the two publications
under the name of the Patriot and
Times. One year later R. H.- Albright
sold his interest to J. W., who took
Major P. F. Duffy, now political editor
of the Wilmington Star as an associate.'
The latter became sole proprietor
about 1876 and remained so to 1880. (

Originally the Record was a five "col

increased to six and its size has been
increased at various times to its pres

It is a lively up-to-date publication
and is generously supported by the
public. Messrs. Reece and Elam also

retired from the firm in March, 1890,
and the remaining members con

J.R. Wharton succeeded them. A daily
edition was issued from May to
