MAY STUDY GREATEST
BATTLEFIELDS IN WORLD
Trip to Chattanooga Gives
Opportunity

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 22.-The re-
union of the United Confederate Vet
Grams in this city next week will give
all visitors an opportunity to study the
greatest battlefields in the world, and
at the same time a community that
dealt with the Indian problems of the
early part of 1900, and even earlier
These studies are always interesting to
the person of an inquiring cast OF
mind, as they throw flood of light on
the hardships and obstacles that con-
fronted the early settlers.
Reference has been made a time or
two in this correspondence to the emil
nence where the battle was fought that
drove the wedge into the heart of the
South, and opened the way for Sher-
mans march to the sea.
The battle of Missionary Ridge was
disastrous to the Southern army and
hastened the date of the final surrender
as no other battle did 1t was worth
more to the Union cause, in the opin-
ion of many, than the battle of Gettys-
burg or the slaughter at Chickamauga
The great battle of Chickamauga, 81
far as the casualty percentage was
concerned, was almost an even draw
but the Union forces were in better
condition to lose 10000 men than were
the Confederates. Commanders on tbs
Union side in 1868, knew that they
could finally win by swapping two Of
three men for one on the field
and when it come to a matter o
swapping about even, the ConfederateE
were the heaviest losers in proportion
to the number of available men.
The Confederates turned the Unior
army back at Chickamauga, but the re
suit at Missionary Ridge opened thu
road into the heart of the South 70,
the Federals and the result was a patti
of ruin from Chattanooga to the sea
Jospeh E. Johnston, as the reader o
, history knows, disputed every foot o
grounds from Chattanooga to Atlanta
losing about 5000 men and inflictinl
: six times that damage to the Union ar
I my. But the result was what ever!
sensible man knew it would beth
overthrow of the Confederacy
: Missionary Ridge opened the wa
for this raid of the Union army to tn
center of the South, and in view of thi
: fact the battle fought for the poss. IS
b, sion of the ridge, and anything o
> historic value connected with it ough

A communication appeared recently
in the Chattanooga Times from Theo-
dore G.. Carter, of st. Peter, Mimi, on
the origin of the name of Missionary
Ridge. Mr.. Carter is 80 years of age,
and was during the civil war captain
of the Seventh Minnesota volunteers.
He writes as follows:
THE missionary station of Barinerd
was established on and gave the name
to Missionary Ridge in 1917. A school
was established there, and l think a
mill of some kind was built in connec-
ton with the station
Nathaniel Carter, :. white man, who
had married a full-blood Cherokee
lived at Or near Gunter's Landing, on
the Tennessee river He had three
children, one boy and two girls. He
had been captured by Delaware Indians
at what is now called Paupac, in Pike
county, Pennsylvania, in 1863, his
father, mother and infant sister kill
cd and two sisters carried off with him.
lie was only years old at that time,
and while his sisters were recovered
| by Sir William Johnson, British Indian
agent, at Fort Niagara, the next sum.
1er young Nathaniel had taken to the
Indian life and refused to go bacR
To his relatives in Connecticut just
ihow he made his way to the Cherokee
nation is not known.
His son, David was converted 70
Christianity at Brainerd, and after re-
ceiving such education as could be OBJ
tanned at the station, was sent to the
higher school at Cornwall, Conn, by
the United States government. This
was the place from which his fatho.
removed in the spring of 1863. Here
he found his two aunts, one uncle (my
grandfather, who was not at home
when the Indians came) and other rel,
atives. He remained at school several
terms, then returned home and later
was delegate to Washington for his
nation to look after the interests oil
his people. Later still he was chosel
chief justice and held that position
until the war began, when he resigned
and went south into the Chickasaw ma

NO DISCRIMINATION FOR
SOUTHERN INSURANCE
According to Statement From Secreta-
ry Chas. A. Bickerstaff.

Atlanta, May 22.-The big eastern
financial institutions which loan large
sums of money for building and other
purposes, have issued a formal state
ment assuring the public that the
Southern fire insurance companies will
not be Disseminated against. This as
surance has been received by Charles
A Bickerstaff, secretary and treas
urer of the Association of Southern
Fire Insurance companies.
Life insurance companies and some
large building loans customarily have
the right to specify where the fire
insurance on the building shall be
placed.
After writing to some three score
of the big life insurance companies
MIR Bickerstaff has received the as
surance that Southern fire insurance
companies are to be considered on ex-
actly the same basis as the eastern
ones. The only Qualification reffuired
of company is that it shall be john
stock company, solvent and in a pros
porous condition. Writing to Mr.. Bier
erstaff, the heads of the big life in.
surance companies said: eve wist
you to place us on record in the mos
unqualified manner as being willing t.
accept the policies of your companies
composing the association"
This means, OF course, that South
ern fire insurance companies have
Won exactly the same high standiIl;
/ in the financial world as the old cas-
tern companies. 1t means that when ;
million dollar sky scraper is put III
in any Southern CITY, the fire insur
ance can be carried with Southern
company, no matter how much of tn
money to build the structure has bee
borrowed from the North.
The Association of Southern Fir
Insurance companies was organized i
1910 by several of the leading compl
MES of this section, it's object being I
promote and encourage wise buildin
and tax laws and the reduction of fir
waste and other matters of vital inter
est 1t was influential in securing tn
enactment of the new Georgia insul
ance law, which is conceded to be tn
best that has been put on the statut
g books of any state in many years.
