By W. G. COOPER
There is omething in the idea
Chattanooga is in Georgia.
If it isn’t, it ought to be, for
is within the boundary fixed
charter of 1732, the conven¬
tion of 1787 and the constitu¬
of 1798. No legislature had
the right to accept anything less
without ratification of 1798. No
legislature had the right beyond
recall, the change is established
by some.hing analogus to pre¬
Whether that princi¬
ple applies in this case is an
open question.
By the convention of Beau¬
fort, which fixed the boundary
between Georgia and South Ca¬
rolina, the northern boundray of
this state is a line drawn due
west from the head-spring or
source of the most northern j
branch of the Tugalo river. This J
line passes twelve miles north of
the supposed boundary and
takes in Chattanooga and Look¬
out Mountain, with 1.800 square
miles of territory.
In some way it came to be un¬
derstood that this head-spring
ol the ruga!o wn.s on lie thiity-
fifth parallel of north latitude,
where as it is 12 miles above
that parallel. This error crept
into a resolution of the general
assembly in 1810 authorizing the;
governor to appoint commis-'
sioners or surveyors to locate
the boundary between Georgia
and North Carolina. The real
boundary had been fixed be¬
yond peradventure by the con¬
vention of Beaufort in 1787, in-
terpret’ing the language of the
charter of George II, to the
trustees cf Georgia.
Charles II had in 1663
granted all the land south of
Virginia, to the lords proprietors
of South Carolina, eight in
number. Seven of these surren¬
dered their rights to the crowm.
but Lord Carteret retained his
eighth interest. When George II
granted the territory of Geor¬
gia to the trustees June 9, 1732,
he granted only seven-eighths
but Lord Carteret granted them
the other eighth.
George II in this charter
granting the seven-eighths be- j
longing to the crown, described
as follows the territory of Geor-
g i a:
The Royal Charter
"All those lands, countries and 1
territories situate, lying and be¬
ing in that part of South Caro¬
in America, which lies
from the most northern part of
a stream or river there com-
monl >’ calIed the Savannah, all
along the sea coast to the south
ward unto the most southern
stream of a certain other great
water “ha/Vd'' or river called the Alta¬
„ westerly fro na the
heads of the said river respect-
i ve iy in direct lines to the ‘south
”
The ’ South Seas’ meant the
Mississippi river.
