Wolves differ from most wild animals in this, that they have no home. "A den of wolves" is a figure of speech conveying a false impression, as wolves have no dens. They travel from their birth till their death, seldom sleeping twice in the same place. They roam over wide extents of country, having general circuits which they make. They had certain places where they crossed rivers or mountains whenever they had occasion to go that way; and old trappers sometimes profited by discovering these crossings. Adam Harper killed more wolves than any other man in Randolph. He lived on Clover Run in the present county of Tucker, about eight miles north of Montrose.
He discovered a wolf-crossing and killed several each year for many years .* The proceedings of the county court, recording wolf- scalp transactions, were usually unentertaining; but sometimes a little spice was mixed. For instance, in 1788, the court "ordered that the killing of one old wolf scalp by Benjamin Jones be liquidated;" and the next year William Parsons was "allowed for the killing of three old wooalfs, they being hereby liquidated." Sometimes it was spelled "wooalfts;" and nearly always spelled with a double "o." In 1789 John Haddan was paid for "killing three old woolft scalps and one young one." But the most aston- ishing statement is that a pioneer "proved the killing of two old wolves in open court." The clerk probably did not mean that the wolves were killed in court, but that the proof was furnished in court that the wolves had been killed elsewhere.
*Samuel Bonnifield, one of the early Sheriffs of Randolph, lived at Horse Shoe bottom on Cheat River. One night three wolves visited his field and killed sheep. He tracked them where they erossed the river, and saw that in crossing a rivulet which came down from the mountain on the opposite side, all three liad stept on a certain stone in the brook. He set a trap on the stone, and covered it with moss. In about three weeks he eaught a wolf. In about three weeks more, at the same stone, he caught another. Again in about three weeks he caught the third and the last. It appears that the three wolves had a particular eircuit which they traveled in about three weeks, and that they always erossed the river and the brook at exactly the same place. A certain paek of about twenty wolves roamed through Preston and the northern part of Randolph up to the building of the B. & O. R. R. When it was built the wolves happened to be north of it, and never again appeared in Randolph, probably being afraid to eross the track.

COURT NOTES OF A CENTURY.
EARLY RANDOLPH LAW LATIN.
It is a principle or practice of law that a written instrument is none the less valid because of incorrect English or bad Latin. It is well that this was so in the early days of Randolph courts. The records are as well kept as the average of the State, and better than some; but, the early clerks or deputies often had not the means of consulting a law dictionary, and when they were called upon to use technical terms, they sometimes made mistakes in spelling; but, as their meaning was clear, no harm was done. In 1809 the clerk records that a writ of "firey faces" was issued (fieri facias). The judge had probably made the verbal order, and the clerk spelled the words as they sounded to his ear. The same clerk at another time when using the words "nunc pro tunc" (now for then or here for there) wrote the phrase "nunckpytunck." The writ of "duces tecum" (bring with you) was written "duses take hem," and the term "niolle prosequi" (prosecute no further) was spelled "nolly prossy kee." The word "ditimus" was spelled "diddy mous.'
SLAVES IN RANDOLPH COUNTY.
Much difficulty attends the collection of statistics concerning slavery in Randolph. It is well known that the county never was the possessor of many slaves. Perhaps there were always as many free negroes as slaves. The old court records contain minutes which occasionally throw light on the subject. In 1788 John Wilson asked the county court to prosecute Edward Hart for importing negroes into the State, contrary to law. The offense was a misdemeanor, but there is no record that Hart was prosecuted. In 1790 a negro named Ben applied to the court for his freedom on the grounds that he had been unlawfully imported into the State from "West Jerscy." The court ordered him set free. In 1807 Benjamin Toprail, a slave, was given his freedom by his master, William Howell. In the May court, 1813, a slave named Morris, the property of Charles Myres, was found guilty of grand larceny and was given 39 lashes on the bare back, "well laid on," and was burned in the hand in open court, in the presence of John Crouch, Benjamin Hornbeck, William Steers, Robert Chenoweth, Andrew Cross and George Wess, Justices. That was the last person burned in Randolph so far as the records show. In 1824 the following order, without any explanation, is found on the books:
"Commissioners were appointed by the court to value the negro slaves now confined in the county jail, and upon their report being filed, the court are of opinion that the said slaves are of sufficient value to detain them in prison twelve months.
In 1792 there were twelve negro men, liable to road work in Randolph. In 1848, Allen, a slave of Catherine Parsons, was found guilty of burning Solomon Parsons' barn, and was given sixty lashes.
EARLY PRICES AND MONEY MATTERS.
The early court records of Randolph give scraps of information now and then which throw light on financial matters in the county's early history. Tobacco was not generally the medium of exchange, as in some of the counties further east. Occasionally a public officer was paid in tobacco, but not often. The article was never extensively raised in Randolph. In early years the pound, shilling and penny were the measure of money. This was not the pound sterling of England, but Virginia money. It is not

known when or why the Virginia pound first differed from the English pound .* The trouble about the currency arose as early as 1631.t In 1716 the Governor of Virginia speaks of Virginia currency as different from that of England. f Translated into the present currency the Virginia pound was $3.333; the shilling 163 cents, the penny was one and seven-eighteenths cents. The coins in circulation were mostly Spanish or Mexican. In March, 1788, the tavern rates of the county were fixed by the county as follows.

In 1788 the county court allowed and the Sheriff was ordered to pay to the assessors for their work, as follows: To John Jackson $7.163; to John Haddan $6; to Cornelius Bogard $10. The same year the clerk furnished a list of all the county fees due, which were: On lands, $10.51; on wills, $1; on attorney fees, $43.333; on writs, $24.50.
A suit in court the same year declared the value of "2 coverlids and one blanket" to be $16.65. In those days the most of the county revenue was raised by poll tax, the tax being laid on able-bodied men, whether white or black, bond or free. Such persons were usually called "tithables." The table which follows will show the rate of poll tax on each tithable in Ran- dolph for a number of years:

COURT NOTES OF A CENTURY.
In 1788 John Wilson was allowed 300 pounds of tobacco for his services in collecting taxes. In 1790 the clerk's fees amounted to 6,650 pounds of tobacco, which was duly inspected by John Jackson. It appears that this was all the pay the clerk received for some time. At any rate his mind was not clear on the subject, for at the September court, 1791, this order occurs: "The clerk received nothing from September 1, 1790, to January 1, 1791, for any fees due to him that he can anyways recollect." In 1795 the court ordered that whiskey must sell at 83 cents a pint and cider at 83 cents a quart. In the same year the jailer was allowed fifty cents a day for feeding prisoners. In 1815 sawed lumber sold in Beverly at $10 per 1000 feet. In 1816 the county court felt called upon to take a hand in regulating the cur- rency, not only of the county, but of the country at large. It gave notice to the people that certain kinds of money were good. The order of April 23 says:
"It appears to the court that there is no depreciation in the bank paper now in cir- culation in the county."
And at the next court the following brief order indicates that there might have been a tendency to discount certain kinds of money, and the court came to the rescue with its fiat:
"Ordered, that the chartered notes now in circulation do pass at par with Banks of Virginia."
Whether that order sufficed to hold the notes at par, we are not in- formed, but in February, 1817, another order is found on the books of the county court:
"It is ordered and certified that the notes on the following banks are current within this county, to wit: The Bank of Marietta, within the State of Ohio; the Union Bank, of Pennsylvania; The Bank of the City of Baltimore and Annapolis; the banks within the District of Columbia, and the State Bank of North Carolina."
An old account book, dated 1823, belonging to Robert McCrum's store in Beverly, is in the Clerk's office where it was probably used in some suit. It shows the price of several commodities at that time. Coffee per pound, 44 cents; 24 yards of green cloth, $12; one tortoise comb, $2.50; John Chen- oweth bought "one Boston hat," $7; Jenks Marshall paid $1.50 for one pound of tea; eggs 6} cents per dozen; flannel per yard, 62} cents; wool per pound, 20 cents; cotton cloth per yard, 18} cents; paper of pins, 12} cents; rice per pound 10 cents; needles per dozen 6} cents; New Orleans sugar per pound 15 cents; pepper per pound 50 cents. In a bill sold one individual there were 108 articles, and 33 of these were rum, gin, brandy, or whiskey. In 1824 the court paid 75 cents for six panes of glass, size not stated. The next year 78 pounds of sheet iron cost $13. In 1829 the the tavern rates were.
Lodging per night with clean sheets 6} cents.
Dieting per mcal .25 cents.
French brandy, per half pint. 25 cents.
Whiskey, pcach brandy, or apple brandy, per half pint. 10 cents.
Cider-wine, per quart 25 cents.
Cider-oil, per quart 12₺ cents.
Cider, per quart .. 64 cents.
Horse at hay, 24 hours. 25 cents.
Oats or corn, per gallon 10 cents.
The county court was sometimes philanthropic, and did things for the love of humanity. In 1792 Thomas Summerfield was "permitted to sell,
220

without license, liquors on the road which leads from Tygart's Valley to the North Fork, for the benefit of travelers on such a long and lonesome road." In 1897 the court offered bounties as follows: For wolves, $40; panthers, $10; gray foxes 50 cents; red foxes, $1; wild cats, $1; hawks, 25 cents; eagles, $1.
THE ANNALS OF THE POOR.
Like all other parts of the civilized and uncivilized world, Randolph has had its poor from the first, although they have never existed in such numbers as to enter as an important factor into the county's history. The first mention of the poor in the court records was in November, 1788, when Samuel Warner, an orphan, son of James Warner, was ordered by the court to be bound to Cornelius Bogard till 21 years old, at which time Mr. Bogard was required to give him a horse, saddle and bridle. This was the usual method of caring for orphans, not otherwise provided for.
They were furnished a home with some good man who was placed under bond to treat them well and when of age to give them some specified sum or piece of property to pay for their service. The next year, 1789, Thomas Dren- nin, an orphan, aged 16, was bound to Cornelius Bogard till 21. In all the early history of Randolph County. not one word is found relating to the education of the orphans. It is known, however, that some provision was made for them by the State.
At the October court, 1801, a note was made which gives information concerning the family of Daniel Cameron, who was killed by Indians in 1781, below Philippi. It was shown that, when he was killed, he left a widow and one daughter, Catherine, a year old, and that five months after his death a second daughter, Elizabeth, was born. Both children grew to womanhood; and Mrs. Cameron, after the death of her first husband, married Thomas Cade. In 1803, for the purpose of electing overseers and caring for the poor, the county was divided into four districts, and the election resulted as follows:
First Distriet. From the upper end of the county down to Files Creek, the election was held by John Haddan at the house of William Currenee, and John Currence was eleeted.
Second District. From Files Creek to the lower end of the Valley, including Lead- ing Creek, the Wilmoth settlement on Cheat, and Dry Fork; the election was held by William B. Wilson at his own house, and Nicholas Marstiller was elected.
Third Distriet. The west side of Laurel Hill, ineluding Glady Creek, Sugar Creek and the Cove settlement, "and the county line along the Valley River ;" the eleetion was held by William Wilson at the house of Henry Phillips. William Wilson was elected.
Fourth District. The Horse Shoe settlement and the rest of the county as far as the Glades in Maryland. There was no eleetion, and Samuel Bonnifield was appointed.
There was no change in the manner of taking care of the poor for many years. The orphans were provided with homes. So far as the records show, no provision whatever was made for unfortunate older people, but it is well known, outside the records, that they were taken care of then as well as now. It was the duty of the overseers to look after them, and the county court had no occasion to make special orders. In 1854 the first movement was made toward building an almshouse. In that year an elec- tion was held to decide whether the county should buy land and build a poor house. No record can be found of the vote cast, but from the fact that no poor house was built, it is presumed that the measure was defeated at the
221

polls. The county adopted the plan of hiring the paupers kept by the year, the contractor giving bond for the faithful performance of his duty, and the custom has not yet been changed.

*Uriah Gandy was a son-in-law of Jesse Hughes, the well-known Indian fighter of Harrison County. The name was and is occasionally spelled Gandee.
Samuel Bonnifield was four times Sheriff of Randolph, the last time in 1838, when he was 86 years old. He became a Justice of the Peace in 1795, and served, except when he was Sheriff, until his death in 1847. He was born in 1752 where Washington city now stands. He was a soldier in Dunmore's War; fought at Point Pleasant in 1774, and re- mained there several weeks, taking care of the wounded. He fought through the Revo- lutionary War. and took part in several battles among them being Brandywine where he saw Lafayette wounded. He was in the seige of Yorktown and saw General O'Hara surrender the sword of Cornwallis. After the Revolution he married Dorcas James and settled at Horse Shoe, in the present county of Tucker. 15

The actual work of surveying in the early years of Randolph as well as other parts of the State was nearly always done by deputies. The county
*The election was contested. There had been no convention held, and two Demo- crats, Z. T. Chenoweth and Warwick Hutton, were candidates. On the face of the re- turns Chenoweth had 849 votes, and Hutton 846. Upon a recount the vote stood 848 each, and the court decided in favor of Hutton. The ease was carried to the supreme court where the decision was in favor of Chenoweth. At the next election Hutton was elected by a large majority.
