Excerpt
IN 1845, when the South was a feudal civilisation which produced beautiful women, brilliant orators, and valuable slaves, and when the Southern Literary Messenger published continued poems of fifty thousand words which were eagerly read by the beautiful women and the brilliant orators, Colonel Phillip Arms, from Virginia, moved to Cherokee, Georgia, and established his dynasty there. He brought with him the proverbial hundred slaves. Shortly afterward other Virginians came with their retinues and wealth. They were in the nature of courtiers to Colonel Arms, and they were prevailed upon to follow him by the fact that the Colonel had discovered in the land iron ore which was even more valuable than Virginia cotton.
