Landrum in a recent issue of The Ledger commends the people of Cherokee for the efforts they are making to preserve the Bat tleground of Oowpons, and points out Thickety Fort in Cherokee which is deserving of their care. The Cherokeeans have their hands full at present of their Cowpens en terprise. But they know where Fort Anderson, sometimes called Thickety Fort, is, as well ns other historic points in our young county which will not miss their attention. Our people know where Col. .lames Wil liams died in this county from a wound received at Kings Mountain, which a patriotic Cherokeeun has marked with an enduring stone. We know where Coi. Williams was buried in Cherokee county. His grave is being preserved by a patriotic citi zen and the Cherokeeans in time wiil suitably mark it. We know where the Revolutionary heroe Knuckles was murdered, in our borders. It also will be properly attended to. These and other historic points in our new county are diar to the hearts of our people, and when we finish them up in a manner becoming their importance, the wonder will be why the old counties, which once had them in the ! r borders and from which Cherokee was taken, never thought ‘of it.
