PHOENIX. Town in extreme southeast corner of Lee County, on the Central of Geor- gia Railway, and on the Chattahoochee River, in sec. 10, T. 17, R. 30. Population: 1890- 3,700; 1900-4,163; 1910-4,555. It was originally a part of Girard, but when the county of Lee was formed, leaving a part of the village in one county and a part in the other, another name was given to the north- ern section. The original name was Browne- ville. In 1891 it was named Knights Station by the Columbus & Western Railway manage- ment. With the establishment of the post office in 1890, the present name was officially given the office, but the station and town were for some time called Lively. James Summer- gill was the first merchant in that section of the old settlement now included in the town. Ingersoll Hill marks the site of the home of the first settler, Dr. Ingersoll. His name has been perpetuated by the city government, in the naming of a street and a section of the city in his honor. Col. J. T. Holland, son of Maj. James C. Holland, was an early settler, coming to the lower section of the town prior to 1860.

PHOSPHATES. In the narrow valleys, and under some of the level tracts and sec- ond bottoms of Elk River and the creeks of Limestone County, and occasionally on the hillsides, in the Silurian formation, are ex- tensions of the phosphate rocks of middle Tennessee. There is one exposure of these rocks of more than 100 acres near the Louis- ville & Nashville Railroad about a mile south of the State line. There are two characteris- tic varieties of the rock: a friable, dark col- ored, porous, calcareous sandstone, derived from a siliceous, dark blue limestone, wea- thering into flags from less than an inch up to 18 inches in thickness, and occupying the lower 6 or 8 feet of the strata; and a light gray, friable, siliceous limestone, derived from a light bluish gray limestone that is often crystalline and that weathers into scales and flags from a fraction of an inch to 2 or 3 inches in thickness, and occupying the up- per 10 to 25 feet of the strata, though prob- ably not highly phosphatic throughout its entire thickness at any one place. None of these phosphates equals the grade of the Tennessee rock. Some mining has been done about a mile west of Veto, on the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. There are beds of phosphatic materials in several of the Coastal Plain formations which would be of value if used upon the poorer soils of the State, pro- vided they could be transported cheaply enough.
At the base of the Selma chalk, or rotten limestone, division of the Cretaceous forma- tion, there is a bed of phosphatic greens and containing irregular concretions and nodules of phosphate of lime. With the disintegration of this bed the nodules of phosphate are left scattered over the surface in considerable quantity, but not, however, in sufficient quan- tity for profitable working. The bed extends
1119
HISTORY OF ALABAMA
nearly across the State near or through Eu- taw, Greensboro, Marion, Hamburg, Pratt- ville, and Wetumpka. At the summit of the Selma chalk there is another bed of phos- phatic greensand, having a large percentage of phosphate of lime, which outcrops at least half across the State, passing near Living- ston, Coatopa, and Linden. Both these sands are of nearly identical quality with the marls of New Jersey, which have been used with great benefit upon the soils of that State. A few field tests have been made in Alabama with both these marls and with decidedly good results.
The Tertiary formation also contains phos- phatic nodules, but not in commercial quan- tity, so far as known. However, shell maris are abundant and of easy access at many points, and have been utilized locally to a considerable extent.

PICKENS AND NOXUBEE (MISS.) RAIL- ROAD COMPANY. See Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company.
PICKENS COUNTY. Created by an act of legislature, December 19, 1820. It was formed from a part of Tuscaloosa County. By an act of January 1, 1823, a small strip on the northeast was ceded to Tuscaloosa County. It was embraced in the Choctaw treaty of the Trading House, October 24, 1816. In 1832 a part of the territory south of the Sipsey River was ceded to Pickens County by Greene. At the next session of the legislature in the same year there was added to the county all of the territory ac- quired from the Choctaws by the treaty of Dancing Rabbit, lying between the Tombig- bee River and the Mississippi State line, bounded on the south by the first sectional line below the juncture of the Sipsey and Tombigbee Rivers. In 1866 all of that part of Pickens County south of the Sipsey River was added to Greene County, giving to Pick- ens its present shape and dimensions. It is Vol. II-26
interesting to note that the northern boundary line of Pickens County coincides with the boundary line east of the Tombigbee between the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations. It has an area of 875 square miles, or 560,000 acres.
The county bears the name of Gen. Andrew Pickens, of South Carolina, who won renown in the Revolutionary War.
The act of December 19, 1820, creating Pickens County fixed on the house of Jacob Danby as a temporary site for holding the courts. This home was near Pickensville. The three election precincts established by the act were "at Mullin's on the road from Columbus to the Fall of the Warrior, one at James Heflin's and one at the residence of Ezekial Nash." The first election precinct established after the creation of the county, was at the extra session of June 21, "at the house of Cox, near Coal Fire Creek." .Levi W. Parker was elected clerk of the county court at the first election after the organization of the county.
Pickensville was the first county seat, and in 1830 Carrollton was laid out as the seat of justice.
Location and Physical Description .- It lies in the western part of the State, its western boundary being the Alabama-Mississippi State line. It is bounded on the north by Lamar and Fayette Counties, on the south by Greene and Sumter, being separated from Greene County by the Sipsey River, and on the east by Tuscaloosa County. The county ranges in elevation from 175 feet to 500 feet above sea level. The elevation at Ethelsville is 415 feet, Reform, 308, and Gordo, 346 feet. The greater part of the county is very hilly, broken, and rough, the remainder being gently rolling or level. The topography along the northern and eastern boundaries is rough and broken. In some places the valley walls and slopes are steep to precipitous while in other areas the hills and ridges are more or less rounded and the slopes not so abrupt. In the southwest section known as the "Black Belt, ' the topography is undulating to gentle rolling. Broad terraces, in many places 4 or 5 miles wide, are developed along the Tombigbee and Sipsey Rivers, constitut- ing the largest continuous level to undulating area in the county. Similar terraces occur along some of the larger creeks. The Tom- bigbee River, Sipsey River, and Lubbub, Big, Coal Fire, Blubber, Bogue Chitto, Fenache, Magby, Ellis, Nash, and Kincaide Creeks, drain the county. Agriculture is the leading interest. The timbers which are found in the forests are the ash, birch, black walnut, cedar, cherry, chestnut, cottonwood, cypress, elm, gum, hickory, maple, mulberry, oak, persim- mon, pine, poplar, sycamore and willow. The mean annual temperature is 63 degrees and the mean annual precipitation amounts to 49.35 inches.
Aboriginal History .- It is situated with- in the domain claimed by the Choctaws, its northern boundary line being, in fact, the boundary line between the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations. Apart from some Indian villages near the confluence of the Sipsey and
1120
HISTORY OF ALABAMA
Tombigbee Rivers in DeSoto's day as can be seen from a close reading of his chronicles, there were no Indian settlements within the borders of the county in later historic times. While claimed by the Choctaws, the county really was a part of the great neutral hunting ground established in prehistoric days and frequented in the hunting season by the Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Creeks. In early times this neutral ground between the Tombigbee and the Black Warrior became a subject of dispute between the Creeks and the ' Choctaws. At some time during the closing years of the nineteenth century the two nations agreed to decide the ownership of the neutral ground by the result of a ball play. The affair came off at or near the present site of Tuscaloosa. The victory was with the Creeks but the Choctaws refused to admit their defeat, and both sides re- turned to their homes in great anger. A Creek force, under a chief named Tuskegee, was soon embodied, marched to the upper Choctaw country, crossed the Tombigbee a few miles below Pickensville, and about a mile from the state line met a body of Choctaw warriors who were awaiting their approach. The Choctaws were worsted in the fight that followed, but nothing was occom- plished, the status of the territory remaining the same. This fight occurred on the Fitz- gerald plantation immediately south of the Brooksville and Pickensville road. The trees near the Fitzgerald gin house, where the hottest of the fight took place, still show the scars made by the Creek and Choctaw bullets.
Along the Tombigbee River are found sev- eral mounds and town sites, but investigation has shown that with one or two excep- tions they do not contain burials. Along the Sipsey River on the southeast are fur- ther evidences. DeSoto passed through the county in the winter of 1540 after leaving Mauvilla and found it thickly peopled and an abundance of maize on which to sustain his army. Although the chroniclers of his expedition report several large towns, these cannot be located at the present time. Mounds are found at Carrollton; several mounds near Goose Pond in a swamp one mile westerly from McFatton landing on Tombigbee; seven mounds near the conflu- ence of the river with Blubber Creek; a large domiciliary mound half mile east of Summerville Landing and one at Wind- ham Landing on property of W. B. Peebles. Away from the streams are located sev- eral, one of which is near old Franconia, and one four miles above old Yorkville, on T. J, Duncan's plantation. On the Tombig- bee are found to the present day evidences of crossing places, used by the Choctaws, near Memphis, just below Pickensville, and at some other points. Opposite the upper end of the county, in Lowndes County, Miss., is a crossing place at Lincacum Shoals and at Ten Miles Shoals.
Settlement and Later History .- The first white settler in the county was Josiah Tilly
who was born in North Carolina or Tennes- see about 1785, lived in Tuscaloosa and in 1817, settled on the bluff, now known as Tilly's Bluff, on the Tombigbee, about half a mile above Pickensville. He was a trader among the Choctaws. The second settler was Jonathan York, who settled near Tilly in 1818. Catherine, a daughter of Jonathan York, was the first white child born in the county. In the same year Robert Proffet came settling on the site of Pickensville and John Barksdale settled near that place. Other settlers also came in 1818, among these, Robert and William Ringold who set- tled on the Tombigbee near Ringold's Bluff, Burwell Ball, Stephen P. Doss, James, Rob- ert and Daniel Coxe, James Newman, Eli- jah Wilbanks, and John G. Ring. After that year the county was rapidly settled. The majority of the immigrants were from the up country of South Carolina. The first corn crop was made in the county in 1818. The early settlers had to endure all of the privations and inconveniences incident to pioneer life. At first they had to bring their corn on packhorses from beyond the Black Warrior, using the Indian trails. They lived in rude log cabins with no shelter for their stock. The first mill in the county was a "tub mill," built by Henry Anderson in 1819 or 1820, on Big Creek, near Pickensville. Other mills were soon built, among these, Parker's mill, on one of the prongs of Bear Creek, Easterwood's on Coal Fire creek, Dor- rah's, Donoho's and Gardner's, their sites not now known. The settlers lived in great har- mony with their Choctaw neighbors across the Tombigbee, and often hired them as cot- ton pickers. With the establishment of churches, the opening of roads, and the run- ning of steamboats on the Tombigbee the county soon passed out of its pioneer condi- tions.
