most interesting occasions ever held in

was Hon. Richard B. Russell, Jr., one
of the comity’s leading young attor
neys and a young man of brilliant
promise.
After the song, “America” and pray
er by Rev. L. W. Collins, a beautiful
song was sung by a number of young
ladies. Miss Carolyn Aiken delighted
the audience with a touching and ap
propriate recitation.
Prof. W. M. Holsenbeck introduced
the orator of the occasion, Col. Russell,
Jr. in a few well chosen words.
The entire address of “Dick” Rus
sell. Jr., as be is called by his many
friends, was replete with noble thoughts
and*splendid diction throughout. His
tribute to the noble women of the lost
cause was great, while he did not for
get the private soldier who on the
.bloody fields of the South so nobly il
lustrated the courage and chivalry of
these great people.
At the conclusion of his address, the
applause was prolonged, and his many
friends crowded around him tending
congratulations on his masterful ora
tion ,

beautiful song was sung by the quartet,
Messrs. I. E. Jackson. Homer Baird.

ing a beautiful wreath which was la
ter placed upon the graves of the he
roic dead in the cemetery. Mrs. C. M.
Ferguson presided in her splendid man
ner over the exercises of the day.
A FINE FIELD OF CLOVER.
An interesting indication of the
methods that must soon be adopted by
c ir farmer friends for soil improvement
and splendid Jesuits already obtained,
are shown in a five-acre tract of crim
son clover on tbe farm of Col. R. H.
Kimball, a local attorney, at Pea Hill,
rear town. This clover is now in full
bloom and pregems a beautiful sight
to look upon. It will be plowed under
to improve the soil next week. Asiue
from its value for soil improvement,
this clover makes the finest of hay and
is easily cured. It is sown in Septem
ber without any preparation of the
land, makes a fine pasture or cover
crop during the wasting winter rains,
and comes off in time to plant corn or
cotton.
Our farmer friends who are unfamil
iar with this wonderful clover, or who
enjoy seeing a good crop, should go
and investigate this tract this week.
It has attracted attention and favor
able comment from those who have
passed that way. This crimson clover
is best adapted to our local soil and
climate, and every progressive
will soon be growing it; it is well
worth your time.

placed second in the broad jump with
a jump of 18 feet, 7 inches, and finish

points toward that old cup. In the
sprints W. H. S. was outclassed by ol

they made a good showing. Julius Bed
iugfield cupped first place in the hur
dles. Leon Perry placed second in the
100 yards dash. With the A. & M. team
leading in points before the relay was
run it looked like an Aggie victory
was near, but the team representing

EDITOR OF NEWS
MEETS KINDRED
. About 125 years ago, Hugh McWhort
er, the great grandfather of the editor
of the Winder News, came to Georgia
from North Carolina, and settled in
■Oglethorpe county. Ho and many of the
older members of the family are buried
jn the old family burying lot on the
plantation that Hugh McWhorter
bought when he enme to this state.
' It has been the custom of the fam
ily to meet at this cemetery on April
25th for many years to do honor to
the memory of their forbears and to
renew family ties and associations. Tbe
descendants of this Hugh McWhort
er who first came to Georgia number
now up in the hundreds. |
On last Tuesday, the editor of the
News and family, accompanied by Rev.
W. H. Faust, went down to this old
plantation about three miles from
Stephens, Ga., in Oglethorpe county to
meet his kindred, enjoy their fellow
ship for the day and to do honor to
the memory of his ancestors who have
passed on to the great beyond.
A large number of the family were
present from Oglethorpe, Greene, Mor
gan, Clarke and Barrow counties and
a most delightful day was spent. Short
talks were made by Rev. W. H. Faust
nnd members of the family, und a fine'
dinner was enjoyed at the noon hour. I
The old home built by Hugh Me- 1
Whorter about 125 years ago is still
standing and the family keep it in re-1
pair, and as near like it was when J
originally built as possible. Near the'
house is a fine spring and the writer
always kneels down and takes a good
drink of this water, for out of this]
spring his ancestors drank over a cen
tury ago.
We enjoyed the day thoroughly, and
reached Winder before night, and hope
that we may he permitted to meet with
rtiir kith and kin again on April 25th,
■'1923.

and Western and Comedy.
JUDGE ROSS TAKES
ISSUE WITH C. M. T.
Editor Winder News:
I dislike to controvert the position
or contention of a friend, relative to
history or politics or religion, since I
cannot be sure of the correctness of my
own information. However, I feel that
pay friend, C. M. Thompson, challen
ges me to show of proof as to what
tribe of Indians was the original owner
or possessor of the lands in Jackson
county.
If you will grant me space in your
columns, I hope to submit proof suffi
cient to convince him and your read
ers that it is not whim or caprice that
causes me to say the Cherokee Indians
and not the Creeks were here when
Georgia was settled by white people.
I will first give a statement from
Pictorial History of the United States:
“The Cherokees whose lands were
Jbounded on the east by the Broad rfr
er of the Carolinas including all of
the northern Georgia. The cbees dwelt
south of the Cherokees along tbe Sa
vannah, Oconee and headwaters of the
.Ogeecbee and Chattahoochee.”
That your readers rouy more renrti
ily interpret a quotation that l will
submit, I here state my contention ns
‘concisely as possible. Cherokees lay
between Broad river and the Oconee
river or the Appnlaebee. They were
civilized, lived in towns and cultivated
thetr lands. In the year 1760. South
Carolina made war on them, devastat
ed their homes, destroyed their crops
and drove them into the mountains.
Augusta bad been their trading point
and they owed the merchants there
large sums of money. After peace was
made, these Indians sought to settle
their debts by selling this abandoned
land to the merchants. They were In
duced to make the cession to Govern
■ or Wright for his Majesty for the e*-
' press purpose of paying off their debts!*
I The following is a quotation from
Historical Collections of Georgia and
is accredited to (Colonial Papers.)
j "Whilst in England, Governor
: Wright sent a memorial to the Earl
of Hillsborough, In which among oth
er things, he stated that there was a
considerable body of land which then
I lay between the boundary of Georgia
! with the Indians and a river called"
Broad river to the northwest, which
empties into the Savannah river, and
the Oconee to the westward and south
ward. He described the land as of
Hi., richest and best quality, supposed
to contain 5,000.000 acres—that the
Cherokees claimed about 3,000,000 acres
on the Savannah river, and in order to
pay the debts tlint they owe to tbe In
dian traders had voluntarily offered to
cede the same to bis majesty.
Gov. Wright proposed that the land
should he sold in small tracts —and
stated that the debts to these traders
due from the Chorokees amounted to
from 40 to 50 thousand pounds sterling.
Instructions were given to the governor
to return as quickly as possible to Ga.
and to make the arrangement for the
cession which ‘he accordingly did.
I will conclude this communication
by reciting a treaty made at Augusta
on the first day of June, 1773, jointly
h.v the Cherokees and Creek Indians.
By this treaty the Cherokee* and the
Cn-eks Jointly cede to his Majesty a
portion of territory beginning at the
place where “the lower Creek path in
tersects Ogeechee river, and along the
main branch of said river, and thence
along the ridge between the waters of
Broad river and Oconee river up to the
Buffalo Lick, and from thence in a
straight line to the tree marked by the
Cherokee* near the head of a branch
falling into the Oconee river, and from
thence along the said ridge twenty
miles above the line already run by the
Cherokees, and from thence across to
Savannah river by a line parallel with
taht formally marked by them.And the
Creeks cede from the present bounda
ry line to Pliinoloway creek on the Al
tamaha river up the said river to an
island opposite to the mouth of Barbers
creek, and from thence across to Ogee
chee river opposite to the road about
four miles above Buekhead.
His Majesty agreed after certain ex
penses were paid to apply the money*
arising from the sale of the lands to
the payment of debts justly due tay the,
Indians to their traders.
I submit this without further com
ment. Lot those who care to investi
gate go to the books and maps.
I am using here an old book, “His
torical Collections of Georgia,” by
whom I know not, since first and last
pages are missing. It may be by White.
