FOURT MOUNTAIN I
In the mountains of North!
Georgia, the visitor will find and j
a great many curiosities
wonders; one of the most in-1
terestin jz is a rock fort, built;
upon r* cr the highest;
*■+•» Cohutta mOUtl
kin,, that dates back for be
yond the most ancient aborig
iaals. The Fort was built in
a aiptag line, running straight
about forty feet and then turn
*
ing at an oblique angle it tort}
feet and then back again at
the same angle, in which
there was great precision.
The wall is about two hun
dred yards in length but its
height , . , can only , be . guessed 1 at ,
US 7. it , has fallen r .i down, i , Kl out , t
judging from the quantity ol
rock it is supposed to have
been 6x6 feet. Near the wall,
on the inside, are two large
mounds of rock, one of which
has been tovvrn down, and in
the center ot the mound was
a vault live by six feet, nice¬
ly built with rock and suppos
ed to have been used as
magazine.
All the terminus of
tains on the North,
east and Northwest is
a perpendicular roekclilY for
thousands of feet, and
wall which encloses about
acres, extends around on each
side of the cliff. A rock
on one side and an impassable
cliff on the other, on top ol
the highest mountain,
is almost inaccessible
this fort impregnable,
should it have been overpow
ercdr-K) retreat would
been impossible.
But who, when and for
what purpose it was built is a
problem which will never be
solved.'
About two hundred yards
in front of the fort is a large,
hold spring of pure freestone
water, gushing out from the
very top of the mountain.
It is in the territory once
inhabited by the Cherokee In¬
dians, to whom the builders
of tlie forfwere unknown.
'i'he labor, time and num¬
ber of buliders must have been
great as the rocks were cer¬
tainly carried by hand as there
is no chance for a wagon to
gut there.
If any of this unknown race
of people died while there no
evidence of the fact can be
found.
The name and race of the
builders have inystei iously
aid forever passed into obliv
iui), without ■ , a record , or histo* , • ,
n but (he work , or then
f
hittuls stands firmly high up
amonir the clouds, as a mon¬
ument of a race that was, but
is no more. Bki. us W.

We take this method of thank¬
ing the good people for their vis¬
it to our place Sunday and for
their good attention during Air
sung service, We feel sure we
did all we could to make all toe I
at home. We were very proud
the good people of this commit
nity were so liberal with their
dinner. Every heart was made
glad at dinner hour, so many
good things were set before them
and they did justice to ir, es
pecially Jolm Ellis of Free lUpe.
He sure did enjoy the dinner.
We wish to thank Mrs, Nannie
Davis, of Eton, for her splendid
music in the forenoon, also Mr.
Joseph Adams, of this place.
We believe that Bro. Kerr’s
speech was the sweetest and
fullest of gospel power, to boys
and girls and older people as
well. His subject, Home Sweet
Homo, ami lie did the subject
justice. Bro. Kerr is to be with
us again the 2nd Sunday in July.
We are glad to have Bro. Kerr
with us at any time.
The attra< tion was the music
rendered by Mrs. Von berg and
Mrs. Lou Bond. They cun sure
make ait instriment talk. We
would be glad to have those fa
pious Organists coine back, and
everybody who wish to have an
ejoyable time.
We were very sorry that Bros,
Bates and Anderson could not
be with us, We sure had a good
supply of leaders who were wil¬
ling to do their part. We are
proud the young men are taking
the interest in music that they
are. There were eleven leaders
ana a .11 rendered good music.
We hope to have a good time
at Free Hope on the 1st Sunday
in July, every body invited.
Our Sunday School meets ev
ery Sunday afternoon at 2
o’clock.
Good wishes to The Murray

MILEAGE REGULATION
UPHELD BY HINES.
Upon the request of the Geor¬
gia. State Railroad Commission,
Special Attorney James K. Hines
has given an interesting opinion
in regard to the complaints made
hy tne traveling public as to the
exchange of mileage book cou¬
pons for straight tickets at rail¬
way agencies. Attorney Hines
holds that the railroads’ regula¬
tions for the presentation and ex¬
change of cupons for mileage is
entirely reasonable.
Attorney Hines was asked hy
the Commission to furnish an
opinion upon the right of a com¬
mon carrier to expel a passenger,
who had failed to comply with
its regulations, requiring the ex
psange of mileage coupons for
ticket.
Attorney Hines says that car¬
riers of passengers muy eject
from their conveyances all per¬
sons refusing to comply with rea
onable regulations. He says that
the present mileage book ar¬
rangement is reasonable, because
the purchaser enters into a con¬
tract with the railway company
gelling the mileage book. One
of the terms at the_contract is
that, coupons from these mileage
books will not be honored on
trains except at non-agency
p tints or at station rg nicies not
open for the sale of tickets.
The purchaser, »ays Attorney
limes, gets a reduced rate and
he is bound by the terms of the
special contract. He says in con¬
clusion that the arrangement has
already been submitted to and
appraved by the State railroad
Commission.—Atlanta Journal.
