exchange Randolph hit the stump and
Clay the gravel bank.
The second time the Virginian did
not fire. Clay's bullet passed through
fold of his coat. AS soon as the
Kentuckian had fired, Randolph ad.
vanced toward him with outstretched
hand. Clay grasped 1t.
Il think you owe me a new coat,
Mr.. Clay" said Randolph.
"Thank God the debt is no greater"
said Clay.
County Was Junk Pile.
At the end Of the Civil War Alexan-
dria County was junk pile, although
there had been no actual fighting on
its soil, War blights nature by it's
presence alone. The corn and oat
fields had been tramped into solid
floors Of grassless clay by the feet OF
thousands of soldiers drilling across
them for four years. Most of the trees
had been cut down for fireWood or to
clear the view. The hillsides were
Scared with ugly trenches. Every
where were discarded gun stocks. bar.
rels, canteens, mess kits, abandoned
ordnance, clothing thrown away. For
years afterWard junk dealers We're
H.
Here and there was a log house.
Rarely, indeed, could a more imposing
building be seen. 1t was an almost
complete desolation. A less inviting
strip Of country for the home seeker
hardly could have been imagined. The
land was OF little value for farming,
There were no transportation facili-
ties to attract the suburbanite across
the Potomac. 1t would have REQUIRED
an active imagination to construct
even an approximation of the scenic
beauty of the countryside of today.
Among those who remember the
land Immediately after the war is VIII
ii. Douglas of Ballston, who has been
leading figure in the development of
the county. Mr.. Douglas went there
with his father when it was still an
unrelieved desolation. Just a few
years before the family had been
taken from their home in Washington,
with a few sandwiches as Il com
misary, to sandpit at Second street
and Rhode Island avenue northeast to
escape an expected bombardment OF the
capital when Confederates mounted
on Munson llill charred logs, which
| had all the appearance OF cannon. The
douglas family We're almost as truly
pioneers as any of those who entered
Development Was Slow.
Development was extremely slow.
When he was q boy Mr.. Douglas re-
members walking with all the neigh.
borhood youths several miles to see
| new house being erected at the lower
end Of what is now Clarendon. It was
the great event of a year. From 1885
to 1895 there was hardly any develop
ment worthy of the name.
Among the pioneers Of the Arlington
County of today was Rear Admiral
Rixey, Surgeon General of the Navy
and White House physician during the
Mckinley Administration. Admiral
Rixey's health had broken down, and
he sought small farm where he could
recuperate. Driving about washing
ton with q carriage, he finally found g.

of the outer defenses Of Washing
ton. Remnants Of few Of these
still can be found. Those born in
the county within the last 80 years
remember playing about the old bat
terry sites. But unfortunately most
traces Of the defenses have disap-
peared. Maps are available giving
the exact locations. In many cases,
however, dwelling houses have been
built on the old sites. When this
semi-circle is wanted for a pictur-
esque park drive through the new city
Of Arlington it will be difficult and
expensive to clear the locations.
There were two systems OF forts.
The first was broad semi-circle
starting at Fort Ethan Allen at Chain
Bridge and extending out to Fort
Ramsey in Fairfax County between
Falls Church and Baileys Cross Roads,
Between these two forts were battery
emplacements.
Ring OF FOrtificati0ns.
The second was narrower semi
circle to which the Potomac River was
as q loose bowstring, starting at
Rosslyn and arranged in the follow
ing order to Alexandria: Fort +. G.
Smith, Fort Bennett, Fort Strong,
Fort Haggerty, Fort Morton, Fort Cor
coran, Fort Woodbury.. Fort Cass, Fort
Whipple (flow Fort Myer) Fort Tilling-
hast, Fort Mcpherson on the present
site of the National Cemetery, Fort
Craig Fort Albany, Fort Richardson,
Fort Berry, Fort Scott, Fort Barnard,
Fort Reynolds, Fort Ward, Fort
Worth, Fort Williams and Fort Ellis
worth at Shooters Hill near Alexan-
dria. The headquarters of this sys-
tenn Of defenses was at Fort Corcoran
between Rosslyn and Fort Myer.
These fortifications were connected
with a continuous line of earthworks,
all signs Of which have disappeared.
, The system was laid out by Gen. John
G. Barnard. The slopes and valleys
between these two semi-circles of forts
were completely deforested so as not
to obstruct the view and We're swept
by practice fire.
Previous to the Civil War Arlington
Countys history Is almost a blank
page. There was some relief to a drab
eventlessness in 1775, when about 500
British soldiers under command OF the
Inflated Sir Edward Braddoclx camped
for few days on the hillsides above
Alexandria preparatory to their march
to tragic defeat at Fort Duquesne.
TOUCH Oh 4ActlOH.
There Is another touch of action In
1926, when Henry Clay and John Ran
| dolph met near Chain Bridge in one Of
the most historic OF American duels.
The story is told by an eyewitness,
Senator Thomas FL. Benton of Mis-.
souri, A week before the meeting,
shortly after Randolph received the
challenge from Clay, he called on Ben
| ron a md told him confidentiaIly that he
would not fire at his opponent, but re.
ceive his bullet without any attempt
| at retaliation.
When the two met at 4:30 in the aft
ernoon of April s, however, the Vir-
! ginia Senator's resolution weakened
| when he noted in Clay what he con.
sidered an unreasonable vindictive-
ness. Clay stood with his back to a
! stump; Randolph was In front Of a
grayel bank. Both men were decided

Arlington County was corner OF
Fairfax County until the District of
Columbia was laid out in 1889. 1t then
was ceded by Virginia to the Federal
Government as the States contribu-
ton TO the 10-mile- square tract that

1t remained a part of the District of

Elizabeth Tatro of the seventh grade

ing and the pronouncer, John B.

ton.
