put themselves In hike relations to
the government. Thus, Mr.. Knight
states, that it became a matter of ut
most Importance to cultivate these
Indians. Washington fixed his eyes
On the long known and well-tried
North Carolina Senator as the fttest
man to take charge of the well adj
vanced work Of Cancellation and to
crown it by becoming the permanent
agent.
He held them in peace for sixteen
years. Much was done to encourage
them in the art of civilization. They
were taught agriculture. He brought
his own slaves from North Carolina
and cultivated a large plantation at
the agency, making immense crops,
especially of corn. He had a great
heard of cattle, milk was measured
by the barrel and churned by ma
chinery. All this he divided with
the Indians, he being so highly re-
spected that any cattle bearing his
mark or brand were absolutely safe.
The great war of 1912 could not stir
the embers and make the rich do
main between the Ocmulgee and the
Chattahoochee the seat Of war. Col.
Hawkins personal influence pre-
vented this. He became the titular
commander for the friendly warriors
who organized themselves into
regiment, but he never took the field
in person, deeming it wiser to place
the actual command upon the noble
chief, William Mcintosh
Col. Hawkins, being a man Of
great literary attainments, labored
with his pen telling posterity Of the
people among whom he lived. Some
of these works have been confided to
the Georgia Historical Society at Sa-
Vannah.
General Lafayette, while on a
visit to Columbus by the old stage
route, stopped over and visited Col.
Hawkins. The Indian Agency was
at that time small town of $50
inhabitants, known as Francisville.
AS stated by Mr.. Knight, it is true
that the land upon which described
Col Hawkins grave, which was the
Indian Agency, is now the plantation
of my uncle, Mr.. B. F. Walker, in
Crawford county. AS a peculiar CO.
