Clubs in which she reminded
Club women that the legisla
tion for chemical testing of
drinking drivers became effec
tive January 1,1964. Mrs. Har
per said that now club Women
nave a responsibility in m
have a responsibility in im
plementing this legislation.
Her later sugges these steps.
1. Combine with all worn ens
clubs in the community to learn
about North Carolina's chemi
cal testing law.
2. As a united front investi
Sate the local officials plan to
litlate a testing program.
3. If local governments can
not afford the cost of machines
or of sending personnel for
free training, raise the neces
sary funds.
4. Voice support for testing
so the program will be applied
consistently.
The state Highway Patrol has
announced it will offer the test
to persons accused of driving
under the influence of alcohol
only where the test is avail
able from thelocal law enforce
ment units. The breath testing
instruments cost about $600
Mrs. Sharper says, operators
for chemical testing devices
must complete 44 hours of in
struction. The training Is being
given at Industrial E&icational
Centers without charge.
Mrs. Harper srites. "Whygo
to all this trouble? The answer
lies simply in whether you con
sider it your responsibility to
protect yourself and others
from the ever increasing dan
ger created by drinking driv
ers. Who can say whose life
will be destroyed next? Your
neighbors? Your child's ?
Yours?"

f 1 he f jfe Of John Sei ier
WRITTEN by jerry Andrews,
Roure 2, Rose HOI. N.C., ?
7th Grade Student in Mr. Wil
liam R. Teachey's Room of
Rose Hill Elementary School.
John Sevier was born to Va
lentine and joana Goode Sevier
on September twenty-third,
1745, on a little farm in the
Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
As a boy John helped his fa
ther farm and trade with the
Indians. He also helped his
father run a small tavern.
Sevier received very little
education. He was enrolled in
the Fredericksburg Academy
and the Staunton School. Both
were in Virginia.
Sevier left school at die age
of sixteen to marry Sarah Haw
kins. Twenty-nine years later
his wife died.
In 1780, about seven months
after the death of his first
wife he married Catherine
SherrOl. who was called the
' Bonney Kate" in the song of
the Tennessee Frontier.
In 1771 James Robertson
from wake County led a group
of settlers over the Smokey
Mountains to the Watauga Ri
ver Valley. Later over pioneers
Joined them. Sevier was one of
these who later became a I
famous leader and Indian
rt |
i igmcr.
In 1772 Watauga men drew
up a document something like
the Declaration of Inde
pendence. This document stated
that they were to have an exe
cutive council, a legislature de
partment, a sheriff, and an at
torney. in the year 1776 the men
that nad started the associa
tion, known as the Washington
District, sent representatives
to the North Carolina Assembly
to discuss the matter of be
coming part of North Carolina
or Tennessee.
Sevier liked to move around.
This gave him the name of No
lichucky Jack.
in December 1773 he became
a pioneer and moved with his
family to the Holston River
Valley, from which he later
helped to start the short-lived
state of Franklin.
At the beginning of the Re
volution the Indians attacked
the little fort of Watauga Valley
but with Sevier and Robertson
as leaders, Watauga Valley was
saved.
Sevier supported the Revolu
tionary cause, however he took
little part in the fighting until
1780. In this year, with Colonel
Isaac Shelby as a scout, he
led to Watauga valley men on an
expedition over the "Smokies"
to find Ferguson and his men.
On this expedition Colonel Wil
liam Campbell joined Sevier to
increase his might. Colonel
Benjamin Cleveland, along with
other local leaders, also nelp
ed his small army.
After "'days of wandering, Se
vler located Ferguson on Kings

friends, neighbors and relatives I

cards, visits and prayers dur- I

pital and since returning home.

Mountain. Around nine hundred
of the best mourned men were
sen ahead with Sevier In com
mand. While the others waited
on all sides of the mountain
in case Ferguson tried to es
cape. the nine hundred swarm
ed up the side of the hill, fir
ing as they went. When they
reached the top Ferguson was
shot down, and his men surren
dered to Sevier and Campbell,
and were taken prisoners.
After the Revolutionary War
was over the people of tne fu
ture state of Tennessee wanted
to make the region a separate
state. The State of Franklin was
organised in 1784, and Sevier
was elected first governor.?
Quarrels over land, and with
the Indians led to the down
fall of the state of Franklin in
1788. with Franklin no longer
a state, Sevier was without
work, his career was blasted,
and he became an outlaw. Not
long after, however, a friend of
Sevier pleaded with the gov
ernor of North Carolina, ex
plaining Sevier's problems, and
?iv t* aa |/?i
After he was pardoned by the
governor he was elected to the
North Carolina Senate. Later,
in 1789, he was elected to the
Federal Congress, where he
served for two years.
When the lost state of Frank
lin joined the new state of Ten
nessee, John Sevier was elec
ted governor. He served six
terms as governor of Tenne
ssee.
Sevier quarrelled with An
drew Jackson in 1796 over aland
speculation Sevier had made.
Even though Jackson charged
Sevier witn land frauds, the
career of the Kings Mountain
hero, with his thirty five bat
tles and thirty-three victories,
was not harmed. Sevier was re
elected for the State senate for
one term.
John Sevier also served one
term in the Federal Congress.
He died near Fort Decatur,
Georgia, on September 24,1815
one day past his seventieth
birthday.
