FORT MASSAC
SITE ESCAPES
FLOOD DAMAGE
Fears for Retaining Walls Allayed
By State Inspection. Brief
History of Ancient Fortress.

Springfield, ILL.,, Jan. 17.-Fear
that retaining walls constructed to
protect the site of old Fort Massac
from the food waters of the Ohio
river had been damaged by recent
high water has been allayed by
inspection of the walls, according
to the state department OF pubic
works.
Alarmed over reports that the
site was in danger, the department
caused it's examination to be made
as soon as the high water receded.
| Marking the starting point OF the
exploits of George Rogers Clark IN
the Northwest territory, the site OF
| Fort Massac, near Metropolis, has
been under state supervision since
1903, when it was purchased
through the fundamentally of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
/ ton.
| Until then the spot bore few
marks OF it's early importance.
Only ruins of the earthworks re-
manned to show the shape OF the
block houses. The state has since
done everything possible to pre-
serve this memorial OF the past
/ In a coming publication on Hi
nois' parks and memorials the
state says this:
Fort Massac offered the opening
! wedge by which George Rogers
Clark entered and conquered from
| the British the expansive north
west territory composing the pres
Ohio, Wisconsin and parts Of Mich
igan and Minnesota
/ Captured by Clark.
! This intrepid explorer navigat-
ed down the Ohio to Fort Massac'
! captured the garrison and then
! proceeded overland 100 miles with
a handful of hardy woodsmen sol
diers from Virginia to kaskaSkla
and Vincennes, wrestling from the
English those posts, and hoisted
+ the American flag.
| Historical accounts have it that
the site was first visited by DeSoto
, in the year 1912 when it was used
as a temporary fortress against the
/ Indians. Aaron Burr also stopped
at this point in 1905, while enroute
! to the south to establish an en-
/ pire which was to have absorbed
the American republic, with Burr
at its head.
Built In 1867.
1.-THE fort itself was built by
/ Captain Charles Phillips Aubrey,
sent into the Illinois country in
i1756 from New Orleans, to care for
French interest against encroach-
ments of the British. Leaving Fort
| Charities on May 10, 1857. Aubrey
reached Massac the same year and
drove the first stake on Ascension
day, hence the stronghold first
bore the name of Fort Ascension.
The fort was recaptured in 1858 by
the English, who held it Is years
until it's fall before George Rogers
Clark. In 1894, the old block house
and palisades were rebuilt by
order of President George Wash
ington as a protection for Ameri-
can settlers who began pushing
westward in great numbers.
Indian Legend.
1.-THE origin of the name. Fort
Massac, has not been determined.
A legend recountS a massacre by
Indians during French occupancy
and the taking of the name of Fort
! Massacre. which later was abbrev
lated to Fort Massac The Indians,
! so the story reads, appeared on
what is now the Kentucky side Of
the river, CARRIED in bear skins and
crawling on their hands and knees.

THIRTY4sEvENTH YEAR OF PUBLICATION.

sibly due to their allowing 1t to be
managed by their masculine rela-
tives.
Only fourth of the enlisted men
of the United States army were able
TO read understandingly, and to
write. Miss Kearney advocated a
federal department of education. The
government was spending four times
as much on the bureau in charge of
animals as on education. South Ca
rolina is lowest in rank of the states
in eduaction, and Mississippi is next
to the lowest. The Hawaiian Is
lands, Panama and Porto Rico are
far ahead of Mississippi education
ally. Every child has the right to
be we'll born and we'll educated.
Mississippi is the only state where
the blacks outnumber the whites,
there being an inequality in numbers
of 1922. A large employer of la
Dor had told the speaker that he
rarely found negro who could not
read, but the illiterates were COM
mon dulOuS IuO WnltOSs
In Marion county she was told that
in a large community of Holy Roll
ers, a third were illiterate, the most
distressing fact being that these IL
literates were mostly young men in
the early twenties.
The developments which have
made the present gubernatorial ad-
ministration notorious were deplored
by the speaker.
The textbook commissioners were
exonerated by Miss Kearney as hav-
ing been "cat's paws" and not gull
ty of any intentional wrong, but
there was strong probability Of
graft. Mississippi pays far more
than Alabama and Tennessee for the
very same text books.
Miss Kearney rejoiced at the po-
litical emancipation of women.
She referred to the aged, decrepit,
and sometimes drunken senators she
had observed while working in Wash
ington for prohibition and woman's
suffrage, declaring for efficiency and
Christian citizenship. Earlier in the
address reference was made to her
overseas service among the soldiers
during the World War.
A number of apt and entertaining
stories were interspersed with the
more serious body of the address.
On the whole, the speaker showed
a thorough acquaintance with many
of Mississippi's most serious prob
lens, and gave the impression of be-
ing able to represent the state of
Mississippi with ability and distinc-
tion in the United States Senate.
