(By J. H. Curtis, in Memphis Com
mereial Appeal, Sunday April IT,
Randolph, once the proud and
naughty little capital which dominat.
ed the early West Tennessee country
from its commanding setting on the
first or upper Chickasaw bluffs, so
miles above Memphis, in Upton
county, and which 80 years ago was
known far and wide as the rival of
Memphis, has at last capitulated,
Since the Civil war the history of
Randolph has been the history of a
decaying village, but it was not until
the recent legislature abolished the
charter of Randolph that the capitu-
lation became official.
Singularly enough, the bill abol-
ishing the charter was introduced by
b senator, Walter Chandler, citizen
of Randolph's ancient rival. But this
came about merely because Mr..
Chandler happened to represent Shell
by and Upton counties, and not be-
cause of any desire to wipe the name
off the official records of the state.
The town squire moved away, and
streets that once carried the burden
Of industry are better adapted to
cotton. "A result was a petition of
rs citizens Of the town, most of the
adult male population, asking that
the charter be abolished
And thus Randolph passes on to
take its place with the dreams that
once came to the prosperous towns
of Purdy, LAGRANGE and Macon and
even Raleigh. When Andrew Jackson
was president, Randolph boosted Of
a harbor that attracted steamers of
commerce and pleasure. It's whole
sale houses supplied the lower plan
tations with food and clothing and
helped to outfit more than one expe-
dition of adventure on their way to
Texas to take part in the Texan bat
ties for independence.
True, the failure of Randolph to
get the Memphis & Charleston rail-
road, which Memphis did get, started
its downfall 1t was completed dur
ing the war, when the town was
burned by federal troops. From this
calamity Randolph never recovered.
There is always a lot Of sentiment,
and very properly so, connected with
the passing of an old civilization. 1t
was so a few days ago, when the
writer strolled over the ruins Of old
Randolph and talked with the few
citizens who remain to attest to the
grandeur of her former glories.
Nothing is left Of Randolph old
Randolph but the name. and part
of that is gone, because it used to
be known as Randolph under the
hills.
Some Of these good men and wo-
men raise their heads with boast
full spirit when they start telling
about old Randolph. 1t is a pleas
ure for them to point out the remains
of the city in which their antecedents
lived their lives and accumulated
wealth, If they failed to get wealth
they seem proud Of the fact that they
were born in Randolph.
The few people left in the village
today are whole-souled folk. They
do not meet strangers. They take
every person bv the hand with a cor
dialitv that sticks, and they tell you
"goodby, come back and see us some
