FINANCE, WANT ADS, AUTOS, FIRING LINE, FARMING We’re ‘Alabama Bound’ Today - Atlantato Borden Wheeler v el ) 1 { t‘Atlanta to Knoxville, Grantville, Tenn., and Detours Through Historial and Scenic Spots. By FRANK T. REYNOLDS, Secretary Georgia State Automobile . Association. If the motorist be the ieast his torically inclined, a trip overland from Atlanta to upper BEast Tennessee would serve to fully satisfy him. Besides the bits of war history in the Atlanta-Rome tour, published in The Sunday American of July 28" to be encountered between Atlanta and Cartersville, he can further inform _or refresh his memory, whichever may be the case, by going on up to Dal - ton and taking in Dug Gap, where the nemorable rock battle occurred in 1865 between the then belligerents, + and there also may be pointed out to him the scenes of the now famous snowball battle the same year. Be fore reaching Dalton the embrasure of the lines and forts ¢f Resaca are passed. By detouring 12 miles from Dalton, the traveler may go out to Spring Place, in Murray County, and there see a home built by Van, a noted Cherokee Indian chief. This home tas a staircase of peculiar design, in that it is winding and nowhere can a nail be found, which shows that the Indian was a sort of building genius. Three miles farther esatward is Fort Mountain rearing its lofty top toward the heavens, and at its summit is a large, rouind stone fort built by De {, Soto on his way to discover the Mis sissippi River. Adairsville, on the way to Dalton, was named for Adair, also a noted Cherokee, and was an interpreter for the white traders. Near this place are to be seen many Indiar mounds, which are now near ly a ecentury old. When the Memphis and Charleston Railway was begun it was intended that Dalton should be the division of that road, and here was to be the machine shops. That town was named for a man by the name of Dalton, from Boston, and it was he and his associates who declared that it was destined- to be the geographical and business center of the South, but en terprising Ifast Tennesseeans capital ized the idea and Atlanta is the re~ sult. Anyhow, Dalton was quite a commercial center in that day, and when Ross Landing, now Chatta ~ nooga, acclaimed that she was the ' _ more important the citizens of Dalton ), arose en masse and held a highly in dignant meeting and geverely criti , cized Ross Landing toc her imperti nence. Many Moravian missionaries ,g.sde Dalton their home while they dministered to the temporal and spiritual wants of the Indians. She was then known as Cross Plains, but afterward took on the name of Dalton. Just a few miles from Spring Place, in Murray count, is the old home place of Commcdore Bartlett, U. S. N, who until a few years ago had charge of the Schuylkill Navy Yard in Phila delphia. En route from Dalton to Cleveland, Tenn., a trip of 28 miles, the autoist| passes the log hut in which General Winfield Scott, of the United States army, closed a treaty with Rattling Gourd and Ridge, chiefs of the Cher okee Indians, to take them to the great expanse of the then almost un inhabited West and grant them res ervations. This council took place at Red Clay, in Whitfleld County, 14 miles north of Dalton, in the year 41835, and it was here that an Indian, having buried his squaw and pap poose at the edge of Tuck-la-wa-ha Spring, suffered all the exquisite pangs that must come to one forever leaving all that was near and dear behind and to see no more, slipped a bayonet from the gun of a trooper. pulling down the low-hanging bough of a near-by oak, =aid a brief, fer vent prayer, threw himsell on the( point and expired-—went to his happy hunting grounds. It so chanced lhu({ John Howard Payne was there at ”Wl time, getting up historical data, wit nessed the incident and wrote his world-wide “Home, Sweét Home,"” that song which may be heard at every camp fire in the Old World m-{ night, and while »ach heart recalls a different name, all can and do sing ‘ “Home, Sweet Home.” Payne was shortly afterward arrested at Cass “ ville, a few miles above Cartersville " on this route, for alleged conspiracy in preventing the Indians from sur-l * rendering their lands, and was haled before a judge, to whom he repeated his song. The judge dismissed I';xyne‘ with the remark that ’'a man who could write such a sentiment could not possibly be gulilty of conspiracy The late Miss Mollie Underwood, of Dalton, and her father, the late Judge Underwood, who himself was an in terpreter, told me that they enter tained Payne at their home and had seen the original manuscript of the song. I understand that a family in Athens, Ga., has it now. At Cleve land, Tenn,, Is one of the most popu lar and prominent fermnale colleges in the South. Athens, Tenn, is the seat of the former U. 8. Grant University, but now a part of the Chattanooga University. Near-here was also the home of the Rev. W. E. Munsey, perhaps tie brainiest preacher at that time in the Methodist Church. He certainly was the mogt pyroteehnic word wivard of his day. He was far and away ahead a4t Brand in the Jugwling of the 4 ueen's Knglish.

Dr. Munsey held the pulpits at the biggest church es in Baltimore and New Orleans, He studind while vlowing. He literally burned up his brain with study and died a young man. From Athens it is a short detour to White Cliff Springs and old and noted summer resort. It would pay those interested in live stock to visit the farm of Wilber force (Geottys near this city. A little further on you enter Sweetwater, where ig located a splendid military institute for boys. You are now in the Sweetwater Valley, noted for its live stock, poultry and farming in terests. At Knoxville an old-timer will tell you of Parson Brownlow, a noted citizen of Civil War days, If he could not convert a man by his sermons he would with a hickory stick and there i» no doubt in my mind but that a certain other na- Hon-wide known citizen got his idea of using the big stick from Parson Brownlow. Brownlow was of such unique sort that several interesting pages could be devoted to him. He feared neither man nor devil.

Wautauga is the boyhood home of Bob Taylor, fiddler, Congressman, Governor, Senator and platform oras« tor, who has delighted milhions. His first office was that of Congressman. He defeatex] Pettibone, a brilliant and died-in-the-wool Republican, in an overwhelmingly Republican district in a canvass of about three weeks., His father and brother were of that party, Bob was a Democrat, During his race he and Pettibone met for the first time at Morristown, 40 miles on this route above Knoxville, in joint des bate. It happened that a big circus was in town that day., The wise man ager of the show knew that an after noon debaute would make a big dent in his box receipts and aeccordingly hurriedly erected his big top, built a platform, advertised the meeting to take place in the forenoon and pro vided geats. Pettibone opened and in a heated speech characterized Taylor as “a mountain gut-scraper.” When Taylor arose he quietly placed a fiddlg on one end of the improvised plank pulpit and a carpetbag on thevether, He frankyl admitted to being a fid dler. He said Pettibone was a carpet bagger and asked the boys which they preferred. The reply was deafening to the effect that the fiddle had won ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 1918 .street three blocks, you pass church and then library on Church street.

That wag in the fall of 1876, when Hayes and Wheeler were chosen by the electoral coliege with 185 votes against 184 for Tilden and Hendricks. Morristown was the home of Davy Crockett, noted hunter and membet of Congress, who joined the Texans in their revolt against Mexico, was taken prisoner at the Alamo and mas sacred by Santa Ana in 1836, The site of the old Crockett Tavern, used dur ing the Civil War as a hospital, Is in the eastern outskirts of the city, 'urther on this route you come to Greenville, where lies buried the re mains of President Andrew Jackson.

It is worth while to go there and absorh the atmosphere of such an example of a self -made Presi dent of these United States. After the assassination of President Lincoln, Mr. Johnson was sworn in as Presi dent. His first big act was to issue proclamations for opening Southern ports and for exceptiona)l amnesty, He vetoed a bill for military government of the South, 'This caused an extra gession of Congress, Secretary of War Stanton was suspended because he refused to resign. President Johnson approved a treaty to buy Danish Is lands, St. Thomas and St. John, for $7,600,000, which we recently paid more than three times that much for Congress voled to impeach Johnson. It failed by a vote of 7 to 8. John B Henderson, a Senator from Missouri cast the deciding vote and once told me that It wag the one thing of which he was most proud in his career, though he wus a Republican of the Lincoln brand, It was also in Greenville that Gen eral John Morgan was killed.

FINANCE, WANT ADS, AUTOS, FIRING LINE, FARMING Through Historic Kennesaw Sec tion Via Cartersville and Ce dartown—Fine Mountain Air. Goo.d roads and historical points are the features of our today's trip to Borden-Wheeler Springs, Ala.—a de lightful summer resort, where good waters are to be found and comforta ble living for the stay. The road from Atlanta to Cartersville is the same routed in our Atlanta-to-Rome run July 28, that the motorist finds filled with interest. A few miles out of Marietta we find Kennesaw Mountain. For two miles traversing the foothills, and ‘particu largly along the eastern slope of Ken nesaw, are the memorial spots where took place the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, June 27, 1864. This battle was probably the dis tinctive one of “The Atlanta Cam paign.” The attack of the Federals was made with vigor, pluck and per sistence, and was met with courage and fortitude by the Confederates. It was made by Logan’s corps, support ed by Blair and Dodge. Nelson’'s Twelfth Louisiana occu pied a strong line of rifle pits in front of them. Both combatants held their posi tions for an hour. So constant was the firing on both sides that the dry leaves and dead wood were set on fire by gun wad :ding. The Federal wounded would 'have burned to death had not the j('onfederate forces been ordered to cease until the wounded were res cued. There were 100,000 troops engaged in the struggle—>ss,ooo Confederate and 45,000 Federal. At Big Shanty—which is now known as the town of Kennesaw, 26.7 miles out of Atlanta—the Andrews Raiders stole the engine "General” and ran it to a point above Ringgold, hotly pursued by the Confederates, and abandoned the locomotive only ‘after having used up all the fuel, in cluding the woodwork on the cabin. A few days later several of the men who stole the engine were captured and hanged in Atlanta. Routes Requested By Travelers WAYCROSS TO DANVILLE, VA.
