ROTARY CLUBS IN ALABAMA. The in- ternational association of Rotary Clubs, Chesley R. Perry, General Secretary, and with headquarters in Chicago, has fifteen affiliated clubs in the State. The cities having clubs, with the date of affiliation, are as follows: Birmingham, No. 56, March 1, 1913; Mont- gomery, No. 86, November 1, 1913; Mobile, No. 120, June 1, 1914; Selma, No. 223, June 1, 1916; Tuscaloosa, No. 282, March 1, 1917; Gadsden, No. 308, June 1, 1917; Anniston, No. 336, November 1, 1917; Huntsville, No. 372, April 1, 1918; Dothan, September 1, 1918; Opelika, May 1, 1919; Florence, Janu- ary 1, 1920; Bessemer, February 1, 1920; Sheffield, March 1, 1920; Troy, April 1, 1920; and Andalusia, January 1, 1921.


The first club organized in the State was that of Birmingham, on February 13, 1913. The first president was H. B. Wheelock. Brom Ridley, was the first secretary. John E. Shelby, 1914-15; J. D. Moore, 1915-16; J. Frank Ruston, 1916-17; have heen presi- dents. John C. Hendley, Jr., succeeded Mr. Ridley as Secretary. The Montgomery Club, organized on October 17, 1913, with Thomas L. Hackett, as President, and John Purnell Glass as secretary, has had as succeeding presidents, Ralph D. Quisenberry, 1914-15; E. J. Meyer, Sr., 1915-16; J. Lee Holloway, 1916-17; Lucien S. Loeb, 1917-18; Robert H. McCaslin, 1918-19; Abie B. Meyer, 1919-20; and Maxie D. Pepperman, 1920-21. William F. Black, succeeded Mr. Glass, as secretary, in 1914, and is still serving.


The Mobile Club organized October 13, 1914, with Dr. Seale Harris, has had Palmer Pillans, L. D. Dix, and E. C. Grace, as suc- cessors. J. M. Ponder, served as first secre- tary, and was succeeded by H. W. Taylor, C. S. Shawhan, and R. A. Christian. Selma or- ganized March 31, 1916, with Truman L. McGill, as president, and Morgan Richards as Secretary, has had the latter official continu- ously with a change of the presidency each year.


The State is in the fifth Rotary district, comprising Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Cuba. The first state convention of Alabama Clubs was held in Montgomery in 1920, though the second annual conference of the fifth district association of clubs was held


in Selma, March 4 and 5, 1918, and the 1921 conference is to be held in Birmingham.


At present there are 836 individual mem- bers in the several clubs in the State.

ROUND MOUNTAIN. Post office and min- ing town on the Southern Railway and the Tennessee, Alabama & Georgia Railroad, in west-central part of Cherokee County, about 6 miles north of Center. Altitude: 570 feet. Population: 1912-210. It is situated among the southeastern spurs of


the Lookout Mountains, and on one of them, which is called Round Mountain. The locality is rich in minerals, both coal and iron. William Mil- ner was the first settler. He operated a forge there in the early forties. In 1849 Moses Stroupe erected the first iron furnace. It was a charcoal furnace, located one-half mile from the Coosa River on which the product was shipped to Rome, Ga.

ROYAL NEIGHBORS OF AMERICA. An auxiliary of the Modern Woodmen of America, organized March 21, 1895, first entering Ala- bama May 31, 1913. There are 15 lodges of the order in Alabama at this time, with a membership of approximately 400. The So- ciety has no State Grand Lodge. Supreme headquarters are located at Rock Island, Ill.

RUSSELL COUNTY. Created by the legis- lature, December 18, 1832. It was taken from the last Creek cession. December 15, 1866, a part of its territory, including Opelika, was added to Lee County, and several years later the village and beat of Glenville, in Barbour County. It has an area of 655 square miles, or 419,200 acres.


It bears the name of Col. Gilbert C. Rus- sell, of Mobile, an officer in the Federal army, 1818.


Girard was the first seat of justice. The courthouse stood at Crawford until 1868, and later the seat of justice was moved to Seale. The commissioners appointed in 1833 to se- lect a courthouse were Hardeman Owen, An- derson Abercrombie, and Thomas M. Martin.


Location and Physical Description .- It is in the extreme eastern part of the state, and is bounded on the east by the Chattahoochee River, forming the State line, on the west by Bullock and Macon on the south by Bar- bour, and on the north by Lee. The highest altitude is 610 feet above sea level. The


1214


HISTORY OF ALABAMA


topography of the county is quite variable. In the eastern section, along the Chatta- hoochee River, there are large areas of flat terrace country, and westward from this river five or six successive and distinct terraces are developed. There are also extensive ter- races, commonly called "hammock lands," along some of the creeks just above overflow. The southern part of the county for the most part has a rolling to undulating appearance and the northwestern section is largely roll- ing. It lies wholly within the Coastal Plain, and its soils are embraced in those divisions of the United States known as the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains and the River Flood Plains provinces. The soils of the uplands are formed from materials laid down on the flow of the Gulf, which at one time covered this region, and are known as Orangeburg, Nor- folk, Ruston and Susquehanna. The bottom lands or alluvial soils are shown as Kalmia, Cahaba, Leaf, Ocklochnee, and Congaree. Every variety of soil from that of sand to that of the most fertile black prairie and blue marl is to be found. The county is well drained by the Alabama River and its tribu- tary, Slosh Eye Creek, and the Chattahoochee River, and its tributaries. The timbers con- sist of the long and short leaf pine, cedar, cypress, white, red, water and blackjack oak, walnut, hickory, maple, gum, beech, and dog- wood. The average annual temperature is 65° F. and the mean annual precipitation 52 inches.


Aboriginal History .- The county was largely inhabited by the Yuchi Indians, who formed an important element in the com- position of the Creek Confederacy. Their dialect was exceedingly peculiar and dis- tinct from the other tribes of the Muscogee Confederacy. It was entirely guttural and spoken entirely with the mouth open. No word or sound ever required it to be closed for pronunciation.


Evidences even to the present day indicate that the section was thickly populated. On the headwaters of Big Uchee Creek in the northwestern section, on the Hachichubee Creek in the western and on the upper waters of Cowikee Creek are found numbers of in- dications. On what is now the Moffit Flour- noy plantation on the Chattahoochee River, 8 miles by rail below Columbus, Ga., and one mile east of the Central of Georgia railroad, is the site of Coweta, the headquarters of the Lower Creeks. Scattered over a large area are yet found evidences of its occupancy. At the Upper Coweta site, one mile up the river, is a mound about 10 feet in height surrounded by a large cemetery. Here numbers of objects have been ploughed up in the last few years. The mound is domiciliary. On the Uchee Creek near to and below its mouth are indi- cations and at Perry's Ford on Big Uchee branch of the creek, could be seen as late as twenty-five years ago, charred remains of what was locally claimed to be one of the last meeting houses of the Creeks before their removal west in 1836. Little Prince lies buried within sight of the station at Flour- noy's on the Mobile and Girard division of the


Central of Georgia railroad, a large cedar stump marking the site of his grave. The following Lower Creek towns are noted as being located in the territory now included in the county: Apalatchukla, one and a half miles below Chiaha; Chiaha just below Osat- chi; Chiahu 'dishi or Little Chiaha, a village planted by Chiaha Indians in a pine forest one and a half miles west of Hitchiti town; Haihgi; Hatchi Tchapa, a small village peo- pled from Sawokli and thought to have been located on the present Hatchechubbee Creek; Kawita and' Kawita Talahassi, above referred to as Upper Coweta and Coweta; Le-kat-chka or Broken Arrow, located in what is now Hatcher's Bend; Okomi, a small town six miles below Apalachukla; Osotchi, located in the extreme southern part of the county below the present Oswithee community; Sawakli, at mouth of Hatchechubbee Creek; Talua 'Lako, the popular name of Apala-tchukla, being the new or later day designation of the place; Watula Hoka Hatchi, a stream on which was located the Watoola village, just above big Uchee Creek, a short distance west of the present Uhland; and three Yuchi villages, in the southern sections of the county. Sev- eral towns in Chattahoochee and Stewart Counties in Georgia had villages across the river in Alabama and it is possible that some at least of the above named villages were branches of these Georgia towns. Near Uchee post office, on the plantation of Mrs. Albison Hixon, are three large mounds. A cemetery and town site is located in the immediate vicinity. Some of the finest pipes, gorgets and stone relics in the state have been found within the county.


Settlement and Later History .- This sec- tion was settled mainly by immigrants from Georgia and North and South Carolina. In 1739, General Oglethorpe, then governor of Georgia visited the town of Old Coweta, six miles below where Girard now stands, and made a treaty with the Indians. General LaFayette crossed the Chattahoochee at Fort Mitchell, in 1825, when he visited Alabama. Here he was met by Gen. Tom Woodward with an armed escort, of which Maj. Gen. William Taylor, took command on his arrival, Capt. James Abercrombie commanded the Montgom- ery troop, while General Moore of Monroe commanded another. Many prominent citi- zens including Hon. Bolling Hall, of Autauga, Hon. John Murphy, of Monroe, and a number of Indians were also there. Chilly McIntosh and fifty painted warriors met LaFayette and the Georgians on the Georgia side. LaFay- ette was placed in a sulky, which was drawn on the ferry boat and when it reached the west bank the Indians drew the sulky to the top of the bank, about eighty yards. After an eloquent address by Hon. John D. Bibb, of Montgomery, the line of march was taken up for the interior.


The Muscogees made their home in Russell County. In 1836 many of them refused to give up their lands which they had ceded a . number of years before. The Indians began to make depredations on the whites, and Roanoke, on the east side of the river was


1215


HISTORY OF ALABAMA


burned and several whites were killed. About 1,500 Alabamians gathered at Tuskegee, in Macon County, and marched to Fort Mitchell under the leadership of General Jessup. Opothleyoholo, Tuskena, and other chiefs, brought in a force of friendly warriors. The combined forces marched down to Hatchee- chubbee Creek, which they crossed and there formed in line of battle. An order came from Gen. Winfield S. Scott, who had reached Fort Mitchell, and taken command, for the return of Gen. Jessup and the troops to the Fort. The friendly Indians had captured Neahmathla, and his people had flocked to Fort Mitchell from which place they were escorted to Montgomery, and then taken west. The last collision during the War of Seces- sion occurred at Girard when Gen. Howell Cobb, with 5,000 Georgia militia and 2,000 Confederate troops, prepared to contest the advance of Wilson's mounted column. April 16. 1865, the Federals began the attack. After two unsuccessful attempts they suc- ceeded in taking the town, but the Confed- erate Generals Cobb, Buford, and Toombs escaped capture at the hands of the enemy.


John Crowell, of North Carolina, was among the first white settlers, coming in 1815 as a government agent to the Muscogees.
