Two Counties in the State
Manage to Get Along
Without Any.
BY E. E. MEREDITH.
There are many opportunities for
vounK lawyers in West Vireinia!
There are two counties in the state
which only have four lawyers, one
county with but five, two counties
having only six. two more with seven,
on? with eight, and two with nine.
These figures are gathered from "The*
Legislative Hand-book oi 11M7" just
off the press, which gives a list oi
law firms in the various counties.
Think of it! Grant county, which
comprises 461 square niilcrf and has
an estimated population of S.250, according
to "The Hand-hook" (and
0.S8S, according to the estimates of
the census department on July 1.
has only four attorneys?It. W
Baker. L. J Fornian, K L. Judy, and
A. J. Welton, It is likely that the
nomination for prosecuting attorney
has to be taken by turns or arranged
by lot. Pendleton, a still larger connt,
with Okfi square miles, has the
same number of lawyers?11. M. Calhoun.
B. H. Miner. William McCoy
and M. S Hodges In that county each
lawyer would appear to have 175
square miles of territory as his share
and the deeds, mortgages and other
papers, ought to keep the quartette
of lawyers occupied. Hardy county,
with 574 square miles, has but five
lawyers?II. S Carr. K. ISdwcrd Chip
ley, John J. Chiplcy, M. W. Gamble
and G. W. McCauley.
Lincoln and Morgan counties have
but six law firms, according to that
authority. One of the half a dozen
Morgan county lawyers is Mrs. G.
Mclntire Weaver, one of the two
lady lawyers listed for this state.
Monroe and Clay counties can boast
of eight, Boone also has eight firms
hut one is LetTwich, Byrnside and
Shaffer, making ten lawyers in all.
Putnam and Pleasants counties might
organize legal baseball teams, hav
in); nine lawyers eacn. )'i:inam a
nine would come from five different
towns?four from Winfleld, one from
Seott Depot, another from Hurricane
and two from Buffalo and Paradise.
The Pleasants nine might be styled
"The Royals" for three of them are
Barons
Kanawha county leads In lawyers
having 132. Ohio comes next with
SO. Marion Is third with 68. Harrison
has 49, Wood 47, Wetzel and Raleigh
34 and Monongalia 33.
Among the best kuown men Included
in the list are: Chilton, Mact'orklo
and Chilton, of Charleston,
which includes William E. Chilton,
formerly United States senator, and
William A. MacCorkle, formerly governor,
W. E. Glasscock, of Morgantown.
formerly governor. John T.
McGraw, of Grafton, formerly Democratic
National Committeeman, Reese
Blizzard, of Pnrkersburg, John J.
Coniff and T. S. Riley of Wheeling,
Judge W. S. Meredith and C. Powell,
of Fairmont. J Hop Woods, of Phiiiippi.

Town, Sam B. Montgomery, of Kingwood,
and Harvey W. Harmer, of
Clarksburg.
The lawyers of West Virginia run
true to form inasmuch as Smith is
the most frequent surname encountered
in running over the list. There
are fifteen of them?two in Ohio, Cabell,
Mercer, and Wirt counties and
one each In Marlon, (Ira L.), Kanawha,
Barbour, Tucker Pleasants, and
Ritchie. Brown comes second with
eleven lawyers of that name. Brown
and Brown at Charles Town and t|iree
lawyers of that name at Charleston
aid In making the total Impressive.
Wilson appears six times In the list
Wost Virginia hills have been celebrated
In song and the name, Hill,
appears five times In the list of lawyers?two
times In Tyler, once In
Cabell, Nicholas and Pocahontas.
Some West Virginia lawyers have
names appropriate to the business in
hand. James E. Law, nf flnrksh.iro.
Illustrates by his surname what he Is
about. C. C. Chambers of Logan,
provides a term often-used In connection
with legal decisions. Allen B.
Noll, ot Martin6burg.'gets nearer a!
legal term than Null and Pyle, of'
Huntington, or Henry. N. Nolte. of j
Wheeling. Reuben Kino, of Martins
burg, J. B. Levy, of New Cumberland
and Vester B. Dunn, of Klngwood,
have names suggestive or action In '
connection with courts. J. F. free, j
ot Wellsburg. Is nearly decree. Wll- ;
lie Fought, of Elizabeth, lias a name |
Indicative of the right disposition to '
succeed. H. B. Dodge, of Parkers j
burg, and W B Sharp, of Narlinton.
have Dlckenish names for attorneys
as has Fisher Scaggs, of Wayne.
Legal authorities are emphasized
by F W Bacon, of Fayettevillc. A '<
i Xi. Poundstone, of Buckhannon, gets
nearer Blackstono than J. W, Stone,
of the same place, or E. L. Stone, of
Ripley. The though of a lawyer sug- I
gesfs a fee and which directs attention
to Samuel Price, to Lewisburg
and .lames W. Stuck, of West Union, i
Claude P. Light, of 1'arkersburg.!
doubtless aids the judges in getting
the right dope on cases. George Love,
of Fayettevillo. and William Lovins,
of Kenosha, have poor names for
such a profession; on name, along, ii
would seem that Charles P. Guard,
of Grafton, and Rankin Wiley, of i 0
I Point Pleasant, would lie retained in 1
advance of them. S. Riddle, of Logan |
county, illustrates law hv his naracjj
and C. W Good, of Charleston, might j
! lie pointed out by his friends as the j
I only "good" lawyer in West Virginia.
The young lawyer gets more atten \
j tion than the beginner In other pro
fessions. Among these are Guy B
Young, of Gleuviile. James E. Vnmv
of New Martinsville, and the junior
member of Morris & Young, of Ham
lin. It goes without saying that thereIs
nothing indicative of the career
in the names of Thomas H. Denni-.
of Lewisburg. and D. V. Lemon, of:
New Martinsville.
Color cuts a great figure in the list.
of attorneys' names. For instance I ?
(hero is John F. Brown, of Elkins. j |
Robert L. Brown. Jr.. of Kingwootl.
Martin Brown, of Moundsville, W. It
Brown, of West Union, R. M. Brown
of New Cumberland Brown and |
Brown, of Charles Town, Brown, of,
Brown. Jackson and Knight and Fon
taine Broun and C. B. Broun, of |
Charleston, Brown and Eddy, of Sum- j
mersville, S. S. Green, of Charleston.
T. C. Green, of Charles Town. J. I
H Green, of Williamson, Prescott C. I
White, of Morgantown, George E. j
White, of Weston, Robert White, of
Roninev and W. L. Black, and Blue
and Bine and McCabe, at Charleston.
The animal kingdom Is represented
hv J. L. Wolfe, of Ripley, Earl F.
Fox, of Sutton, Alfred G. Fox, of
Bluetield, Hogg and Dunbar, of Charleston,
several Hoggs of Point Pleasant.
and Senator R. F. Kidd, of Glenville.
The feeling of clients forced
to law against their will is evidenced
by the names of W. T. Ice, of Phllippi.
Lory F. Ice, of Morgantown.
Charles Ice, of Buffalo aud Reezej
Blizzard, of Parkersburg.
