Intense Interest Aroused.
Mitchell Clingman.


Chngman controversy aroused the
most intense interest throughout the
country Dr. Mitchell had clearly
demonstrated that the peak which he
had explored and measured in 1914
was the highest mountain on the con-
tinent. east Of the Rockies, though he
gave his life as the price of his tri-
umph; and his friends determined that
his claims should be properly recog-
nized. The following letter from
Vance to Prof. Phillips shows what
their plans of campaign was, and Incl
dentally throws much light on the
depths to which their feelings had
been stirred. The Spectator" men
toned in the letter was Vance's own
paper published at Asheville; the
News" also published at Asheville,
was it's rival and was completely under
the influence of Clingman.

Monument Movement Launched.

AS soon as Dr. M1tChellS body was
discovered it was suggested that its
permanent burial place should be Oh
the summit of the peak henceforth
to bear his name, and that a monu-
ment should be erected over the
place. Accordingly public meeting
held in Asheville, July 8, 1857. at
which d resolution was adopted pro-
posing such monument, and a COM
mittee of which Vance was chairman,
with James A. Patton, John A. Dick
son, A. ). MerricOn, and David
Coleman as his collea CUES was APP
pointed, to collect the necessary funds
and supervise the erection Of the
memorial. The committee PREPARED
and published the following address,
probably theh composition Of Vance:
I'm pursuance Of the object eX.
pressed in the above resolution the
undersigned were appointed a com
mittee to solicit aid from citizens Of
North Carolina, and the former pu.

have given their consent to have his
| remains removed from AshevilIe and
deposited on the highest peak OF the
| Black Mountains, and as soon as the
arrangements are all made this will
be done. Abundance of granite, cap
able Of being worked, is to be found
| on the very spot where we propose to
erect this monument, and it is thaught

| to accomplish what We desire
| In view of the fact that he was
| the first to visit these mountains and
| TO make known their superior height
| TO any east Of the Rocky Mountains
| and that he spent a great portion Of

| exploring them, we think it will he
| admitted that no more fitting testi-
mony Of esteem could be offered his
! memory, and no more fitting spot
| found wherein to erect it, The noble
| mountains themselves will stand his
| most worthy and enduring monument
| but the State of North Carolina Ger
| fanny owes him something, who has
SO long devoted his best energies to
the instruction of her youth.
| Ihe committee propose by this cir
GUAR simply to make known what is
| intended, feeling confident, that to the
good people Of the State and the vast
number of old pupils and personal
friends or the deceased, nothing more
need be said. The plan of the monu-
ment will be discussed when sufficient
funds are secured for its completion
They invite the cooperation of the
county committees, and Of single in

trlbutions can be transmitted to rha
