their roads in the hands of the court to be operated by the receiver. The Montgomery & Eufaula was left in the hands of the court and was included in the plan of reorganiza- tion of the Central Railroad & Banking Co. of Georgia, by which the new consolidated bonds of the reorganized company, known as the Central of Georgia Railway Co., were made a first lien upon the Montgomery & Eufaula Railroad and its other property, thus making the latter an integral part of the former. The holders of the old Montgomery & Eufaula first-mortgage bonds were tendered the new consolidated bonds in exchange at par for their holdings, all past-due interest to be paid in cash.
The history of the Montgomery & Eufaula Railroad Co. from that time has been a part of that of the Central of Georgia Railway Co. (q. v.).

MONTGOMERY ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS
LEAGUE. Organization for the prevention and cure of Tuberculosis. Organized in 1908 under the leadership of Dr. Gaston Griel. Its first officers were: Dr. B. J. Baldwin, President; M. Mohr, Vice President; Miss . Fannie Matthews, 2d Vice President; and John J. Flowers, Treasurer. The purpose of the League is: "To disseminate informa- tion pertaining to the prevention and cure
of Tuberculosis, the how-not to give and take this dread disease." On Feb. 20, 1909, B. G. Betty was elected Secretary and im- mediately entered upon the discharge of his duties. The first annual meeting of the as- sociation was held in 1909, and later in that year Miss Bessie Pritchett was elected to succeed B. G. Betty, who had resigned. In 1911 Messrs. M. M. Sweatt, B. Wolff, and M. Mohr, were selected as a committee to se- cure a site for the location of the fresh air camp, which the Association had been con- templating constructing. A Tag Day was set aside when members of the League would aid in securing funds for the purchasing of the property which had been selected. This Tag Day led to the formation of the Young Ladies Auxiliary, whose first president was Miss Lillian Hill. The site for the camp
was purchased on June 6, 1911, and was soon paid for and a number of cottages donated. The camp is located about two miles above Montgomery on the Upper We- tumpka Road. There have as a rule been twenty patients in the care of the nurses and Physicians. Miss Julia Johnston who had succeeded Miss Pritchett in 1910, re- signed in 1911, and Miss Ida Clay was elected to the office. Miss Clay upon her marriage in 1915, resigned and was succeeded by Miss Lucy Dowe. Tag-Days, Fairs, Charity balls and private contributions have enabled the League to continue its noble work. About four hundred dollars are contributed month- ly; $175 is donated by the city and county, while the other $225 is contributed by pri- vate individuals. Publications: "The Key," monthly magazine published for several years. First edited by B. G. Betty. Now discontinued.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY. Created by an act of the legislature of Mississippi Terri- tory, dated December 6, 1816. The county government was organized three years before Alabama was admitted to the Union, but its area was later greatly reduced in size by the relinquishment of territory which went to form parts of Elmore, Bullock, and Cren- shaw Counties.
The county was named in honor of Major Lemuel Putnam Montgomery, a native of Tennessee, who was killed in the fight with the Creek Indians at Horse Shoe Bend, March 27, 1814. The county has an area of 499,- 328 acres, or about 780 square miles.
Location and Physical Description .- The county is situated in the south central part of the state, between 31º 55' and 32° 30' north latitude, and 86° 30' west long- itude. On the north it is bounded by the Alabama and Tallapoosa Rivers immediately north of which are Autauga and Elmore Counties; on the east by Macon, Bullock and Pike Counties; on the south by Pike and Crenshaw Counties; and on the west by Cren- shaw and Lowndes Counties.
The highest elevations are between 500 and 600 feet above sea level, while the river plains vary from 100 to 200 feet. The an- nual mean temperature is 65.2º F, and the annual precipitation is 52.72 inches.
Among the varieties of soil to be found are the red lands, which are the sandy lands of the uplands; the post oak and black prairie . soils, and the light gray sandy loams lying between the red lands and the river bottoms. Surface features show the terrain to consist of the level to rolling, "and in places, high uplands, and the stream valleys, which con- sist of first and second bottoms." All soils

HISTORY OF ALABAMA
in the county are of sedimentary origin, "de- rived either directly from ocean sediments, or from these remade and modified by stream action." There are sixteen types of soil rec- ognized, Susquehanna Clay; Houston clay; Yazoo clay; Norfolk fine sandy loam; Nor- folk clay; Congaree loam; Norfolk sandy loam; Orangeburg sandy loam; Orangeburg loam; Congaree clay; Meadow; Norfolk fine sand; Susquehanna gravelly loam; Orange- burg fine sandy loam; Norfolk sand; Norfolk gravelly loam.
The county has two distinct drainage sys- tems. One consists of the Alabama and Tallapoosa Rivers, with Pintlala, Catoma and Line Creeks and many small tributaries, the other consists of creeks flowing south among which are Chester, Blue and Green- briar. The Alabama River is navigable as far north as Montgomery.
The principal forest growths of the county are: of the prairie lands, post oak, hickory, hawthorn, wild plum, ash; of the red loam lands, oaks, hickory, short leaf pine; of the sandy lands, short leaf pines and oaks, with water oaks and gums in the flats. A large number of fruit trees and magnolias are also found in this county.
Cotton, corn, potatoes, fruits, vegetables, oats, sorghum, sugar cane, are the most com- mon crops. Cotton however is the all im- portant one.
Practically all of the roads in the county have been either gravelled or macadamized at a heavy expense, and are in excellent shape all the year round.
Railroad facilities are excellent in all parts of the county, with the exception of the extreme southeastern corner where some points are 12 to 18 miles from the nearest railroad station. The roads passing through or terminating in Montgomery are the Louis- ville and Nashville, Western Railway of Ala- bama, and terminals of the Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line, Central of Georgia, and Mobile and Ohio Railroad. All of these railroads afford service to northern and east- ern markets.
Aboriginal History .- The county is rich in remains left by its aboriginal people. They are found along the Tallapoosa River on the north, the Alabama River on the northwest, the Pintlala Creek on the southwest, along Okfuskee or Line Creek on the northeast and on Catoma Creek in the Central and lower sections. DeSoto entered the county at Co- loomi in September, 1540, crossed to Toasi, one mile below the present city of Montgom- ery, and left it at a point somewhere near the mouth of Pintlala Creek. There were towns even at this early date at these three points and in later times were located the towns of Alibamu, northeast of Montgomery near the present Jacksons Ferry; Ikan' Hatki, a Shawnee town, just below Coloomi on Tal- lapoosa River; Muklasa, a small upper Creek town, one mile below Sawanogi and contigu- ous to a branch village of Coloomi, which village was in Montgomery County opposite to the main town in Elmore. Sawanogi, a Shawnee-Creek town, near the present Wares
Ferry just below and adjoining what was in later times the American town of Augusta. This town is identical with or the main branch of Ikan' Hatki. Village sites which cannot be positively identified are found at the mouth of Pintlala Creek, on Catoma Creek at the point where the Western of Alabama Railroad crosses the creek, and at points in the central parts of the county on the upper branches of Catoma Creek. A group of five mounds was formerly noted "9 miles south- west of Montgomery on Alabama River bank," this no doubt being a reference to the group now known as the "Charlotte Thompson mounds," which are however nearer the city. On the Rogers place, one mile above the for- mer site, is a domiciliary mound. In what is known as the Big Eddy field on the planta- tion of Mr. Pruett (formerly the A. M. Bald- win place) is a large domiciliary mound sit- uated across the creek and about half mile from two burial mounds in "Thirty acre field." Mr. Clarence Moore, in 1899, secured from here some very fine objects, comparable only to those of Moundville. At the point opposite Coloomi are two large mounds, one of which is thought to contain burials. Some fine objects have been picked up on the sur- face. Adjoining the site of Augusta, at the intersection of the Wares Ferry and Mount Meig's Station roads, are two mounds, one of which is now almost obliterated. The other a large, low flat top structure on which is a four room negro cabin and garden. A small burial mound on Tallapoosa River one mile from Scotts Station on Western of Ala- bama Railway, on the property of Mrs. Fan- nie Dreyspring marks the site of Hu-ithle- walli, which was located at the mouth of Mitchells Creek on both sides of the Talla- poosa. The finds of relics which have been made here are very numerous. Other mounds are found: one on south side of Catoma Creek fifty yards above Atlantic Coast Line Railroad bridge. Two small mounds in cane- brake one half mile above Thirty-acre field mound and one in woods one mile above; one in swamp on Parkers Island, one mile below the junction of Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers; one immediately on west side of the Wetumpka Road, half mile south of Hughes Ferry on State Prison farm No. 4. An ex- tensive workshop site and mound is located about one-fourth of a mile west of this mound and a village site half mile east, at which point are two more mounds. All on State property. One and half miles above Hughes Ferry is a large mound. These mounds no doubt mark the location of the many settle- ments which the early writers say were to be found along the Tallapoosa to its mouth. Two miles south of Hope Hull on the Marsden road is a mound and village site, located near Pintlala Creek about 10 miles above its mouth. Mound and village site on west side of Jacksons Ferry road, one mile south of Ferry; mound on east side of the road one mile south of Ferry and one on same side of road nearer the river crossing, these three mounds and site marking the location of one Alibamu towns referred to. On the old Math-

HISTORY OF ALABAMA
ews place, on Catoma Creek, now owned by Dr. Charles Moaks, are three mounds which have been slightly explored and some relics taken therefrom. Near Sellers Station on the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad is a consider- able town site and burial mound from which some fine objects have been taken. It is on property of Mr. William Howard. On the plantation of Mr. Robert Hailes, formerly the Felder place, on the Hayneville Road 10 miles from the city of Montgomery, is a large mound and town site. A domiciliary mound 300 yards west of the cemetery is found at Toasi, just below Montgomery. On Catoma Creek just left of the Hayneville Road on the Wescott place is a large mound and town site, from which some fine objects have been taken. On the Thrasher place, on Alabama River 61/2 miles above Montgomery is a burial, and what appears to be a domiciliary mound, the burial mound being now under cultiva- tion. On the Ernest Dreyspring place, 12 miles east of Montgomery, on Tallapoosa River, is to be found an extensive site from which there are nearly 1000 objects in the col- lection of P. A. Brannon of Montgomery. This is thought to be Sawonogi of earliest days. Econchatti, a town which existed nearly up to the founding of the city of Montgomery, was located along the river from a point above the Toll bridge on the Birmingham Road to the present West End of today. On the Brewer plantation, on the south side of Catoma Creek, near the "falls" one mile above the bridge on the Wire Road to Selma, is a site at which burials have been found. At the mouth of Catoma Creek is a village site. Half mile north of Selma Road and 8 miles west of Montgomery on the George Wright place is a site. One mile northwest of the former point, on the Robert Ashley place, is another site. Immediately on the river, one and a half miles below the mouth of Catoma Creek, on the "Doctor Stone River" place, is an extensive site. Near Carpenter's Ford on Catoma Creek, eight miles west of Montgomery and one mile north of Selma Road is another site. A town site accompanied by a cemetery is located on Pintlala Creek 4 miles helow Ada. On the plantation of J. A. Cobb of Stones is a site located opposite to, but further down stream, from the Ashley site immediately below the Western Railroad of Alabama. From these two places alone there is in the collec- tion of R. D. Chamberlain of St. Mathews, Ky., more than a thousand "bird points" less than one inch in length. On the Jordan place 14 miles south of Montgomery, on the Wood- ley Road, is a mound around which points can be picked up but there is no extensive evidence of a habitation site.
The first white settlements made were about the time the county was originally organized. Many settlers came to Montgom- ery about that time, and because of the accessibility of the Alabama River the de- velopment of the region was relatively rapid. In 1821 the town had assumed considerable proportions; in 1835 it was the most im- portant town in the state and in 1846 was
selected as the capital. The county seat is also at Montgomery (q. v.). About 1850 the cotton production of the state centered about Montgomery, and the wealth of the county reached a high stage, which was brought to a temporary halt by the War of Secession.
