SELMA STREET AND SUBURBAN RAIL- WAY COMPANY. A public utility corpora- tion, chartered April 8, 1891, under Alabama laws; capital stock authorized and issued, $125,000; shares, $100; funded debt, $125,- 000; property owned-8.16 miles of street railway in Selma and suburbs; 10 electric passenger cars and 13 others not equipped with motors; and power obtained from Selma Lighting Co. (q.v.). It owns Elkdale Park, near Selma. It is controlled by American Pipe & Construction Co., which acquired a majority of shares of stock in 1909; offices: Philadelphia.

This company is the successor of the Selma Street Railroad Co., chartered by the town of Selma, October 31, 1868, in pursuance of an act of the legislature, December 3, 1866, which authorized Randall D. Berry, with the consent of the town authorities, to construct one or more railway tracks along Water, Broad, Alabama, Dallas, and Church Streets, "and to run cars thereon, propelled by horse or steam power, for the transportation of passengers and freight." This enactment was accepted and approved by city ordinance, April 1, 1867, and the company with title as above received its charter, October 3, 1868. A street railroad was put in operation in 1872. The Selma Street & Suburban Rail- way Co. took over the franchise and property of the original company, April 6, 1891. Elec- tric power was introduced in 1900.

An interesting picture of this early enter- prise is given in Hardy, Selma, page 114:

"On the 27th of August, 1872, the Selma Street Railroad Company opened books of subscription for stock, in accordance with an act of the Legislature of the State, which had been previously passed by that hody, and on the 7th of December, 1872, the company was organized by the election of E. Gill- man, President, and R. Lapsley, Secretary and Treasurer. Sufficient iron rails were pur- chased to lay a track from the crossing of the Selma, Rome and Dalton railroad and the Alabama Central railroad, along Water to Broad, and thence along Broad street to the general depot of the Alabama Central rail- road, and thence to the fair grounds, a dis- tance of some two miles. The track was soon constructed under the superintendence of the late Mr. Robinson, suitable coaches obtained, and a good business commenced over the road by the first of December, 1872, affording a great convenience to our business men and the community generally. We are glad to say that the stockholders in this enterprise have found it (though not profitable) quite self-sustaining. The rate of travel is ten cents, but twenty tickets can be purchased for one dollar."

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST DENOMINA- TION. The largest branch of the Adventist religious body. It originated in a discussion as to the correct interpretation of the passage in Daniel VIII, 13, 14, "Then shall the sanc- tuary be cleansed." Some Adventist leaders interpreted this as referring to the cleansing of the earth at the coming of Christ which they looked for in 1844. They hold that the dead sleep until Christ's second coming, and believe that the time is near, but set no date as they believe that it is hidden from mortals. They also believe that the whole Bible is in- spired and look to Christ alone for salvation

and righteousness. At Washington, N. H., in 1844, the doctrine of the seventh day as the Sabbath was adopted, and they began to preach the doctrines which now constitute the distinctive tenets of this body. Their headquarters were first established at Mid- dletown, Conn., later at Rochester, N. Y., transferred to Battle Creek, Mich., in 1855, and in 1903, to Washington, D. C. It was not until October, 1860, that the name "Sev- enth-day Adventist Denomination" was for- mally adopted at a conference at Battle Creek, Mich.

SHAWNEES, OR SHAWANAGI, OR SAU- WANOGEES. Groups or detachments of a branch of the great Central Algonquin lin- guistic stock, residing in towns within the limits of the present State, and constituting a part of the Creek Confederacy. Individual members of this people resided in Creek towns in many parts of the country, as at Ikanatchaka, or the Holy Ground, but they largely occupied their own towns and were governed by their own tribal laws, customs and practices. They were of strong, reso- lute and resourceful character, and their presence among the Creeks was by no means negative. They participated in the National Councils, joined in the wars, and had a very real part in shaping National policy. Their chiefs were usually the uncompromis- ing foes of the settlers. The Prophet Francis was of Shawnee stock, as was also Savannah Jack.

It was probable that following the Creek

War of 1813-14, the Shawnees gradually mi- grated from the state. There are no Shawnee towns named in the list of Creek towns in 1832. Two of their towns were Ikanhatki and Sawanogi, separate sketches of which are given in their appropriate places. The four noted helow, however, are without spe- cial names, and are therefore treated as a part of the tribal title.

(1) On Delisle's map, 1707, there is a Shawnee town, "Chaouanous," on the west side of Tallapoosa River, apparently at or near the influx of Elkhatchee. It may be considered certain that this town was un- doubtedly made up of Shawnees from the Cumberland Valley, as during the early years of the eighteenth century the Shawnees grad- ually withdrew from that region on account of wars with the Cherokees. Apart from its location on Delisle's map nothing further is known.

(2) On Belen's map of 1744 there is a Shawnee town, "Savanoes" on the west bank of Chattahoochee River, apparently in Rus- sell County. This Shawnee settlement, spelled "Savanoes," is also on Gibson and Bowen's map, 1763, in the same vicinity, but on the east side of the Chattahoochee River.

(3) On Mitchell's map, 1755, appears a Shawnee town, "Sauwanoos," on what is certainly the waters of Tallasseehatchee Creek in Talladega County, with the legend, "from the Ohio." Adair, in enumerating the Creek towns, evidently refers to this town, when he adds, "with them also one town of the Sha-wa-no." This same town must be the one noted in the French census as Chalaka- gay, as having 50 warriors and 25 leagues distant from Fort Toulouse. As Kusa and Abikudshi are both recorded as 25 leagues from Fort Toulouse, it is likely that this town was a few miles east of Abikudshi, and situ- ated on Wewoke Creek, a tributary of Tallas- seehatchee. Such a location would harmonize with its position on Mitchell's map, and with the 25 leagues distance from Fort Toulouse, as recorded by the French census.

(4) Under the form Savannas, a Shawnee settlement is found on a map published in "The American Register," (London, 1762), vol. 1, and placed on the east side of the Alabama River, in the vicinity of Mont- gomery, either above or below. In Bowen and Gibson this town with this spelling ap- pears in the same locality.

HISTORY OF ALABAMA

2,731; 1900-3,333; 1910-4,865. It was incorporated by the legislature, February 17, 1885. It has electric lights, waterworks, gas plant, paved streets and sidewalks, fire de- partment, sanitary sewerage, and modern school buildings. Its banks are the Sheffield National, and the Peoples Bank (State). The Sheffield Standard, a Democratic weekly es- tablished in 1893, and the Tri-Cities Daily, issued every evening except Sunday, and es- tablished in 1907, are published there. Its industries are the Sloss-Sheffield Steel & Iron Co., Sheffield Coal & Iron Co., King Stove Foundry, shops of the Southern Rail- way, and an electric street railway connect- ing Tuscumbia, Sheffield and Florence.

The first settlement on the site of the present town was a trading post, established by the French. In 1816, Generals Coffee and Jackson came down the military road from Florence, forded the river, and camped on the high bluffs. After the Indian war was over the two generals returned and bought the land. Gen. Coffee himself surveyed it, and laid out a town, which they called York Bluff. A map of this town dated 1820, is in the office of the secretary of state. The Cooper, Nor- man, Warren, Davis, Deshler, and Rather families were among the pioneer settlers.

In 1883, Capt. Alfred Moses and Walter S. Gordon bought 2,700 acres of the land for $50,000. In 1884, the Sheffield Land, Iron & Coal Co., realized from the sale of lots in the projected town of Sheffield the sum of $350,000. Associated with Moses and Gor- don in this company were M. N. and J. H. Nathan, E. Evans, Thomas Gothard, E. C. Downs, H. W. Blair, S. B. McTyer, C. T. Mor- ris, W. H. Habbeler, David Clopton, W. L. Chambers, O. O. Nelson, F. M. Coker, J. F. Burke, H. B. Tompkins, D. M. Bain, C. A. Collier, W. A. Hemphill, E. C. Gordon, C. D. Woodson, Horace Ware and W. S. White.

Among the early settlers and prominent residents of Sheffield have been Maj. J. R. Crowe, Maj. G. P. Keyes, Capt. J. V. Allen, A. D. Thompson, S. Cooke, R. H. Wilhoite, Judge Thomas R. Roulhac, J. T. McGregor, B. B. Cohen, Phil Campbell, J. T. and William Hull, Dr. C. T. Morris, Dr. H. W. Blair, and R. T. Simpson.

SHELBY COUNTY. Created by an act, February 7, 1817. Its territory was in the Creek cession of Fort Jackson, August 9, 1814. It was nominally a part of Montgom- ery County. When it was first formed it em- braced St. Clair County; Will's Creek was its northern boundary, and the southern boun- dary line was the township line north of Columbia. Its area is 772 square miles or 499,200 acres. It bears the name of Isaac Shelby, first governor of Kentucky.

The courthouse first stood at Shelbyville. In 1821, David Neal, Job Mason, Benjamin C. Haslett, Ezekiel Henry, Henry Avery, James Franklin, and Thomas Beecher, Sr., were appointed to select the site for the courthouse. A year later, Daniel Mclaughlin, William Gilbert, Isaac Hutcheson, Edmund King, Ben- net Ware, Webb Kidd, and Abraham Smith were apopinted for the same purpose.

Location and Physical Description .- It is situated in the north central part of the state, and is bounded on the north by Jefferson and St. Clair Counties, south by Chilton and Bibb, east by Talladega, and west by Bibb and Jef- ferson. The elevation ranges from 600 feet in the valley areas to 1,200 feet above sea level in the mountain sections. The surface of the county is generally hilly and rough. The northern and northwestern section is mountainous, the eastern, rolling to hilly, and the southern is hilly to broken. About one-half of the county is in the mineral belt. The coal measures of the famous Cahaba coal field form the northwestern portion of the county and in the central portion are those of the Coosa coal fields. Between these two natural divisions is the valley of the Coosa. The lower lands of the valley are quite fer- tile while the higher lands are of inferior character. A variety of crops responds to cultivation in the valley, and some portions of it are also adapted to stock raising. Dairy- ing and poultry farming are also carried on to great extent. The Cahaba valley is found on the western boundary of the county and the same type of soil prevails here as in the Coosa. Coal, iron, marble, granite, limestone and slate are her chief natural productions.

1243

HISTORY OF ALABAMA

The county is well watered by the Coosa and Cahaba Rivers and their tributaries, among these the Bushsehatchee, Waxahatchee, Bees- wax, Four Mile, Yellow Leaf, Kelly's Shoal, and Valley Creek. The forest trees of the county are the long and short leaf pine, hick- ory, oak, chestnut and mulberry.

Aboriginal History .- No Indian village ap- pears recorded on any ancient French or En- glish map within the scope of what is now Shelby County. It is considered certain that there were Creek villages on the west as well as east side of the Coosa River. One sub- stantial fact is some evidence to this effect. All of the Indians west of the Coosa were re- quired to cross over to the east side so as to be within the Indian reservation, after the treaty of Fort Jackson in 1814. Many wild horses and cattle were found in the moun- tains by the early settlers. These undoubt- edly were left behind or abandoned by the Indians in their exodus.

The county is situated west of the Creek boundary line, but these settlements extended far into the western section of it. Assi- Lanapi, thought to have been on Yellow Leaf Creek; Ta'lua Hadsho or "Crazy town," on Cahawba River, and Tchuko 'Lako, were all Upper Creek towns and Hawkins mentions the ruins of other villages above "Crazy town" as late as 1797. Along Coosa River are found evidences in the nature of flint and stone ob- jects. One mile east of Siluria, on L. & N. R. R .; in T. 21, S. R. 3, W. is a stone heap show- ing aboriginal indications.

Early Settlement and History .- Emigrants are believed to have moved into Shelby County immediately following the Creek Indian War. In 1814, or 1815, Joseph Ray, a Tennesseean, who had served under General Jackson in the Indian campaigns, came with his family on horseback and their household goods on packhorses into the county. They followed the Indian trail that led from Ditto's Landing to Mud Town on the Cahaba River. He set- tled in Cahaba Valley, remaining there for several years, and then moved into the east- ern section of the county where he assisted in organizing the Big Spring Baptist church near Harpersville.

During the War of Secession, General Wil- son's army, in 1865, passed through the coun- ty on its way to Selma. On March 30, his forces reached Montevallo, and destroyed in the vicinity of this town the Cahaba Rolling Mills, the Red Mountain, Central, and Colum- biana Iron Works, five collieries, and other valuable property. After resuming the march, they were engaged for several miles south in a protracted skirmish with Roddy's and Crosslands' brigades, under Gen. Dan Adams. Agricultural Statistics .- From U. S.
