Tennessee Valley Has Rich History
Territory of Six Indian Nations
Abortive State of Franklin

tricity. The new State sought admis-
sion to the Union, but before any
action was taken North Carolina re-
pented Of its hasty gen ,rosity and re-
scinded the act ceding the territory.
The organizers of Franklin found
themselves, through no fault Of their
own, in the position of rebels against
their mother State. At the same time
their willingness to forego their newly
established independence was compli-
Gated by developments considerably
less honorable to them which belong
to another and sadder chapter in the
history of the Tennessee Valley.
Franklin, established in 1785, was 4
true frontier commonwealth, whose
taxes were payable in, among other
commodities, good distilled rye
whisky at 2 ShillingS Spence per gal
Ion, good peach or apple brandy at
shillings per gallon, clean beaver
skins, deer and fox skins, and good
clean beeswax." But just a few years
before taxes In q Massachusetts town
had been payable in milk pals.
Called Lost Counties
Franklin had a brief career before
the rebel government was ,ver-
thrown by North Carolina, but there
are still traces of its ethnic outlines
through Southwestern Virginia, West
ern North Carolina and East Ten
nessee. Certain North Carolina noun
tain counties were sometimes desig-
mated up to few years ago as 1.-The
lost counties" largely cut off from
the rest of the State by the noun
tains, strongly Republican in senti-
ment, and with most of their social
and economic interests binding them
to East Tennessee. Some of the East
Tennessee communities, on the other
hand, recognize closer tie with the
North Carolina territory about the
headwaters of the Tennessee than
with the rest of their own common
wealth. Upon the recognized political
units is superimposed q persistent
ethnic unit.
With the downfall Of Franklin and
the final establishment Of North Caro-
lina's western lands into the State Of
Tennessee, the development of the
valley and the spread Of settlements
southwark and westward proceeded
rapidly up to the time of the Mexican
War in which former Franklinites
played leading role Famous char
acters assisted in the development.

Home Of Pioneers.

To the town Of Jonesboro came an
irascible, sandy-haired young lawyer
named Andrew Jackson, orphan of the
Revolution.
In the county seat Of Lawrenceburg
an adventurous magistrate named
David Crockett was drawing up deeds
and passing upon minor suits. His
statute stands before the court house.
In most towns. south and north, there
are public monuments to the dead in
the war between the States. But the
soldiers monument by the court house
in Lawrenceburg commentaries the
dead of the town who fell in the war
with Mexico. a revealing sidelight on
the history of this region.
East Tennessee was much divided
during the Civil War. and was the
scene of bloody guerilla warfare with
families lined up against families and
with cities and towns frequently
changing hands during the major
military operations. Much Of the
northern valley was strongly Unionists
in its sympathies but, as upon the
rest of the South. the economic blight
of the struggle fell heavily.

exhibition, but the barometrical freaks
were about as outstanding as any
thing in the afternoon. The custo-
mers undoubtedly spent as much time
thinking of the heat, which was ter
rife in the early hours, and the rain,
as they passed in admiring the ring
events-which were pleasing.
One of the great virtues Of the
proceedings was the presence of so
many amateur riders in the ring.
The professionals were there in full
force, but without doubt there were
relatively more performances by men,
women and children known to the
crowd than there have been at any
other meeting we have seen this sea-
son. Amateurs and homegrown
hunters do not necessarily make the
most inspiring pictures for technicians
Of horsemanship and conformation,
but they divert the crowd, increase its
interest in the classes, and thereby
further the cause of the horse world.
A combination of skilled owners or
their friends riding adroit horses is
perhaps the most pleasant sight In all
the horse show business.

asm for the talents of young Miss
