To Reproduce Kings Mountain.
The following special Of June 81, to
the Charlotte, N. c., Observer, will be
Of interest to the readers of The En-
quirer. A unique and striking feature
Of the celebration Of the 4th Of July In
Bristol will be the reproduction Of the
battle Of Kings Mountain, which is
being undertaken at cost Of more
than $4,000. Elaborate preparations
for this feature have been in progress
'or several weeks. The artificial noun
tain being constructed requires nearly
$4,000 feet Of lumber, 1t being built
much after the shape Of the original
battle ground. 1t rises to more than
50 feet in height, and, being covered
with scenic effects in the way Of trees,
rocks, logs and brush presents very
realistic scene. The nine colonels who
participated in the first battle, togeth-
er with their STATS and men accompa-
nying. or this number, Tennessee fur
nished two, North Carolina three,
South Carolina two, Georgia one, and
Virginia one. 1t is worthy Of special
note that the descendants Of these old
pioneers will take part in the battle
here on the 4th of July that Is to re-
vive all the scenes and memories Of
that decisive battle Of the American
Revolution. It will be fought on the
same ground where Shelby mustered
the first men, who were called "over
the mountain men," "backwoodsmen,"
ETC., and who marched across the Allie
ghanies to meet Ferguson and his men
and fight what is conceded to be the
most picturesque battle Of American
warfare. Preliminary to this event.
many scenes and thrilling incidents
like the attack Of Patrick Henry, will
be introduced. Noted border charac-
ters, like Danr Boone, will be seen
throughout the performance. General
Ferguson will be seen on horseback
on the summit Of the mountain. The
reproduction of this battle on a scale
so pretentious means that hundreds OF
people will come here from far and
near for the occasion. The manage
ment has the aid Of the war depart
ment in arranging some Of the details
Of this production.
