massive structure of masonry done in
stone, which has Withstood the raw
ages of time for perhaps many thou
sands of years, still stands an enduring
relic of a prehistoric civiliza tion and a
knowledge OF the art of building not
inferior in many respects to the pres

the most part, buried In the earth in
the southeas stern portion of Claiborne
county and lying. against the Copiak

These walls run from northeast to
southwest. They are built of white or
grayish-whfte stonesof immense size,
weighing from two to three tons
measuring from six to eight feet in
length and three feet wide by two feet

in a very fine quality OF cement and as
perfectly as brick work. The joints are
perfect and very close.
At one place the wall is exrosed by

play Messrs. Liebler & Co. are presenting

Proceedings have been instituted In

pany and the raleigh and Castor Com
pany for 1894, O0o which the Mcdonald
Company claims to be due for work done

PRESIDENT WILLIAMS TALKS.
President e. Randolph Williams. of the
Richmond, Petersburg and Carolina, was
asked about the suit filed against his
company by the J. P. Mcdonald Com
pany. the old contractors for the Rich
mond, Petersburg and Carolina JRa5road.
1--WE are now" said Mr.. Williams, land
always have been, prepared to pay every
just debt against our company, and the
claims eff the Mcdonald Company are
simply ridiculous.
.If an account should be struck it is
not unlikely that the balance would be
largely in our favor, SO far from our
owing them anything at all. Their work
has been unsatisfactory to us. and short
time ago we took the contract off their
hands. and for several months past we
have been building the road with our own
organization and forces. The institu-
ton of this suit will have effect what
soever upon our plans or the progress
of the work.
