Embalmers of Thought and the Safe guards of Liberty, They Have Ever Been in the Van of Progress, Civili zation and Christianity. 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. ( when he was succeeded by R. Gy FulghuiM who started ja daily in con nection with the weekly.

In 1890 the paper became the property of Messrs. Bethel, Scales and Cobb. Mr. Bethel retired from the firm in March, 1890, and the remaining members con tinued to be publishers to 1891 when J.R. Wharton succeeded them. A daily edition was issued from May to November, 1890. Wallace N. Scales, who was one of the publishers, moved to Idaho and became county judge in that State. He is now county solici tor of one of the counties of the same State, j Among others who at- some time were cufliiicu j i898 to a seven column folio. were Whitehead & liemoy ana . Whitehead. In 1893 the present owners, W. M. Barber & Co., became proprietors and under their management the Patriot has fully maintained its honorable record of the past and broadened its field of usefulness. It is a clean, ably edited newspaper, a paper of the peo ple, which is read by the hearthstones of Guilford county and goes forth to other counties and States to tell those who are bound by ties of consan guinity and. social or business con nections of the weekly happenings in the county of Guilford. The staff is W; M- Barber, editor, Wm. I. Under wood, local editor and William P. Turner, foreman. DAILY RECORD. This publication was launched on the sea of journalism on November 17, 1890.
