LAWYERS. One of the earliest laws of the Mississippi Territory was enacted in 1802, and was devoted to a consideration of coun- selors and attorneys at law. This law pro- vided that no person should practice in the courts of the Territory without first obtain- ing a license from the governor. This pro- vision with reference to license was con- tinued in force until after the establishment of the Alabama Territory, and until an act of December 16, 1819, when provisions for admission were adopted, whereby a license was required from the supreme court of the State.
The laws of Alabama from the beginning have hedged attorneys or lawyers about with an atmosphere of dignity, character and trust. The law first above referred to pro- vided that no person convicted of a felonious crime should be licensed. Should such a person obtain a license, the judges were au- thorized to cancel it.
The judges of the courts were given wide latitude in regulating the conduct of attor- neys, in the protection of the bench for mis- behavior or contempt on the part of attor- neys, and in safeguarding the interests of litigants through their representatives, the lawyers. The act of 1807, which is a re- vision of the act of 1802, provided that if the judges "from their own observation, de- tect any malpractice in the said courts, in any counsel or attorney of those courts, or if complaint in writing be made to them of such malpractice in the said courts, or in the county courts of any county" the offending party was to be summoned to show cause why proceedings should not be had against him.
The relation of attorney to client was also safeguarded. If any suit was dismissed for the nonattendance or neglect of the attorney,
860

and without just and reasonable excuse, the court costs were to be taxed against him, and it was further provided that he should be liable for all damages that his client might sustain for such dismission, or any other neglect of his duty. Where an attorney should receive money for his client and re- fuse to pay it on demand, he was subject to a summary proceeding, and where an attor- ney authorized the sheriff to enter his en- dorsement upon a writ, in the event he should fail to make an appearance in the case, the sum of $25 was forfeited to the defendant. So serious was an appearance without author- ity deemed that he was subject to a forfeit of $2,000 to the defendant, and moreover liable to an action of a suit of damages at the suit of the party aggrieved.
Officers were not permitted to appear as attorneys in cases in their courts.
On the establishment of Alabama Terri- tory in 1817, the governor was authorized to license persons to practice as attorneys who possessed the requisite qualifications. Those attorneys who had been previously licensed by the governor of Mississippi Ter- ritory were also authorized to practice in the newly created territory without additional license. The manuscript records of the Ala- bama Territory contain the names of attor- neys licensed by Gov. William Wyatt Bibb.
After the formation of the State, the legis- lature, December 16, 1819, adopted a new system with reference to the licensing and practicing of attorneys. That act provided that no person be admitted "as counselor or attorney at law unless he shall have obtained a license from the supreme court of this State." It was made the duty of the court when application was made by any person for license, "on his producing satisfactory evidence that he sustains a good moral char- acter, to examine or cause to be examined in open court the person so applying; and if after such examination it be the opinion of said court that he is duly qualified, it shall be the duty of the judges thereof to grant the license under their hands and seals, which shall be attested by the clerk of said court." The act saves the rights of attorneys thereto- fore commissioned by the governors of the Mississippi and Alabama Territories.
The attorney was properly regarded as an officer of the court. He was required by this act to take an oath or affirmation in which he pledged himself to "honestly demean him- self in the practice of a counselor or attorney at law, and will execute my said office ac- cording with the best of my skill and abil- ities." This oath or affirmation was admin- istered in the presence of the court.
Judges or justices of all courts, sheriffs and under sheriffs were prohibited from ap- pearing as an attorney in any court. Clerks and deputy clerks were prohibited from practicing as attorneys in the courts of which they were officers.
By act of November 24, 1820, a concession was made in favor of circuit judges in the Mississippi Territory or in Alabama, who were known to the judges of the supreme
court to have presided as circuit judges in either the Territory or State, to receive a license without examination.
Presumably for purposes of convenience, by act of June 14, 1821, it was made "law- ful for any two judges of the circuit court in this State, to grant licenses to attorneys to practice in the circuit or county courts," and by act of June 15, at the same session, judges or justices of the county courts who were regularly licensed attorneys were au- thorized to practice in the circuit courts of the counties of their residence, but in no other courts.
In 1824, December 20, judges of the county courts regularly licensed were authorized to practice in all of the courts of the State, pro- vided that they shall not be absent from their own counties at the times appointed for holding courts on any return day required by law by them to hold or appoint.
On January 25, 1828, it was made unlaw- ful for the judges of the several county courts to appear or practice as attorneys in any suit for or against any administrator, ex- ecutor, or guardian of the county whereof he is judge, and it was further provided that he should not appear or practice as an at- torney in any cause, matter, or suit for or against any public official in his official ca- pacity wherein it is the duty of such judge to take a bond for the performance of such trust or duty.
The privileges of practice were extended by act of January 13, 1830, whereby it was pro- vided that any counselor or attorney resid- ing in the territory of Florida might practice in Alabama on the production of a certificate or license from such territory, and on taking the oath of attorneys in Alabama. This ac- tion was passed upon the principle of comity, the Florida authorities authorizing Alabama lawyers to practice in the courts of that terri- tory. By acts of 1835, 1836, and 1841, re- spectively, the same principle of comity was extended toward the lawyers of Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida.
With the exceptions noted, as indicated by the dates of laws in 1828, 1830, 1835, 1836, and 1841, the territorial act of 1807 and the first state act of 1819 continued in force and operation as the law governing attor- neys in this State, and practice, etc., until 1852, with the adoption of the code of that year.

LEE COUNTY. Created by an act of the legislature of December 15, 1866. The terri- tory from which this county was formed was taken from portions of Chambers, Russell, Macon and Tallapoosa Counties. It has an area of 402,752 acres, or 629 square miles.
The county was named in honor of Gen. Robert E. Lee, commander-in-chief of the Confederate Armies, and later president of the Washington and Lee University.
Location and Physical Description .- Lee County lies along the eastern line of the state about midway north and south. It is bounded

on the north by Chambers County, on the east by the Chattahoochee River, "which stream is here also the boundary between the state of Alabama and Georgia," and on the south by Russell County, and on the north- west, west and southwest by Tallapoosa County. This county is 41 miles in "extreme length," from east to west, and 19 miles in width from North to South, the boundary however is very irregular.
The surface varies in elevations from 250 to 820 feet, and from rough to hilly. It resembles a high rolling plateau which has been "badly dissected and eroded by stream action." The county is well watered, and there is a ridge which runs through Opelika which "forms the drainage divide." Osauip- pa, Halawachee, Wachoochee, and Wetumpka Creeks and the Chattahoochee River, drain the eastern part of the county, while Sou- gahatchee and Chewacla Creeks, together with their numerous branches and many small creeks drain the western portion.
Lee county has two distinct physiographic divisions, each of which contains several soil types. The first which includes about two thirds of the county is within the meta- morphic region of the pre-Cambrian age. Among the rocks of this division are to be found hornhlende gneiss, mica schists, gran- ite, quartzite, hornblende schists, and mica slate. Quartz veins are also noticeable. The red color seen in the soils of this division are due principally to the iron in the hornblende. The other division, which covers the south- ern third of the county "consists of sedimen- tary material of the LaFayette formation, which has been laid down as a marine de- posit on the much eroded surface of the older rocks." Sands, gravel, and yellow and reddish sandy clay characterize this forma- tion. The soils are a part of the Norfolk series, and in addition "small strips of Orangeburg sandy loam and small areas of Meadow" may be found. Eleven different types of soil pre- dominate through the county. Among the chief crops are cotton, corn, wheat, oats, sugar cane, potatoes, orchard fruits, melons, and grapes. Lime is made in large quanti- ties at the Chewacla Lime Works, near Jones- boro. Among the forest growth may be mentioned: short leaf pine, upland oaks, hick- ory, poplar, ash, maple, dogwood, gums and cherry.
The annual average temperature is 67.6° F. The annual precipitation 48.5 inches, is fairly well distributed throughout the year.
Aboriginal History .- Situated as
the county is, in the northern section of the Lower Creek territory, along the headwaters of the Wetumpka or Little Uchee Creek, in the Waucoochee Valley and on the Chatta- hoochee River, are to be found many evi- dences of its former settlement. Many of its place names hear those of the Creeks. Among them are Waucoochee, Opelika, Loa- chapoka, Halawochee, Wetumpka, Chewacla. Sanguahatchee, Sawackahatchee and many others. Hu'li Taiga, a Lower Creek village, planted by Okfuski Indians was on Chatta-
hoochee river. Big Halawockee Creek in the northeastern section of the county, very probably derives its name therefrom. Pin' Hoti or "Turkey town," an Upper Creek town, was located on the trail from Ninyaxa to Kawita. Tchuko 'Lako, a Lower Creek town settled by Okfuski Indians was on Chatta- hoochee river, believed to have been located near the mouth of the present Waucooche creek. A mound and extensive village site is found here. On the plantation of Mr. Pow- ledge, Sr., of Waucoochee is an extensive town site, possibly the location of Pin' Hoti. Some fine specimens of chipped objects and earthenware have been secured from this point. Witumka council house, noted on all the earlier maps, was situated just north of the present Crawford to Columbus turnpikes on the headwaters of what is locally called little Uchee Creek. Near the source of the main stream of Uchee Creek, in the southwestern section of the county, the remains of an unidentified village. Along the river, extending all way from Phenix to Waucoochee Creek (known locally as Soap Creek) are found remains. On an island in the river about 9 miles above Phenix, burials and some fine pots have been noted. In T. 19 N., R. 27 E. on the Central of Georgia Railway, east of old Youngsboro formerly ex- isted a considerable workshop site.
The country now included in Lee County was settled by whites many years before the county itself was established. The majority of the early settlers came from Georgia, and the Carolinas, but now the greater part of the rural population are negroes.
Transportation facilities are good. The Western Railway of Alabama passes through the county and affords "excellent service." The Central of Georgia Railroad crosses the county, and a branch of this road runs north out of Opelika. The Chattahoochee valley Railroad, with about three miles of trackage in the county has as a terminal point Jester.
County roads are in good condition with the exception of the hills, rocks and sand in many places.
The chief market for the cotton and corn of the county is Opelika. Auburn is a good market for vegetables, and some cotton is sold at that place. West Point, and Colum- bus, Ga., afford also good markets for the crops of the farmers.
The seat of justice is Opelika (q. v.).
