# Woman of the Century/Elia Goode Byington

​BYINGTON, Mrs. Elia Goode, journalist, born in Thomaston, Ga., 24th March, 1858. Mrs. Byington is president of the Woman's Press Club of Georgia, and, with her husband, Edward Telfair Byington, joint proprietor, editor and manager of the Columbus "Evening Ledger," a successful southern daily. The flourishing condition of the Woman's Press Club bears testimony to the deep interest and zeal of its presiding officer. She declares that the work is made easier by the sympathy and approval of her husband. Mrs. Byington is deeply interested in the intellectual and industrial progress of woman, and that her interest is practical, rather than theoretical, is evinced in the let that, with the exception of the carrier boys and four men for outdoor work, all of the employés of the "Ledger" office are women. A woman is employed as foreman, a woman artist makes the illustrations for the paper, a woman reads the proofs, a woman manipulates the type-writer, a woman is mailing clerk, and all the type is set by women, all of whom receive equal pay with men who are employed in similar capacities. Not content with the help extended to her sisters in her own profession, Mrs. Byington organized a Worker's Club as an aid ​to the many young girls who. while still burdened with the shrinking southern conservatism, have to go forth to battle with the world.

She is essentially a southern woman, having always lived in her native State, and having received her education in the Furlow Female College, in Americus. and in the Georgia Female College in Madison. She was married in 1877 and, becoming deeply interested in her husband’s journalistic labors, began to assist htm with her pen, and in that way cultivated a love for the work that has since brought her distinction. Her father was a man of brilliant attainments, while her mother is a perfect type of cultured Southern womanhood. From them Mrs. Byington inherits her intellectual gifts, which, together with her youth, persutial beauty and charm of manner, make her a favorite with her friends. She is a constant worker, spending many hours daily at her desk and often working late into the night, but, notwithstanding her numerous duties, she finds time to give to society.

# Woman of the Century/Eliza A. Garner

​ELIZA A. GARNER. GARNER, Miss Eliza A., educator, born in Union, S. C., 23rd April, 1845. She is the daughter of G. W. Gamer, sr., the oldest child of a family of seven. She received her early education from her mother, and she subsequently attended a select school, two boarding schools and a State Normal School. Miss Garner, after finishing her studies, began to teach in the public school ​of her neighborhood. She taught successfully for twelve years She was the first woman candidate for political office in South Carolina or in the South. In 1888 she announced herself a candidate for county school commissioner, with the proposition to the people that, if elected, she would use the salary of the office to lengthen the school term from three to six months and to supply the schools with books A few conservatives and her own family prevented her election. The Democratic committee refused to print her ticktes or to allow them to be printed. She engaged the editor of the county paper to print her tickets, paying him in advance, and he printed them on inferior paper and in an unlawful shape, saying afterward that he had done so under the direction of the committee. When the votes were counted, her tickets were thrown out because of their unlawful shape. She was thus defeated. In 1890 she renewed her candidacy and her offer. She attended campaign meetings and read an address to the voters, but was again defeated in a similar way. Her opponent in 1890 was a former schoolmate. She returned to the work of teaching, only to receive a notification from him that the public money of the school district in which she was teaching had been appropriated to other schools He requested her to close the school. She refused. She taught the school a full term and claimed her salary by law. Miss Garner's experience illustrates the disagreeable nature of the obstacles in the way of women in the South, who venture out of the beaten path.

* WRITTEN AFTER READING A
* MEMOIR OF CLOUGH
* Arthur Hugh Clough! How pleasant sounds the name! What wholesome thoughts and memories it doth wake! How clear of every shadow is its fame, (Not clearer thine, dear Artist-Poet Blake!) Tis such as he restore our faith in man, When human baseness makes us most despair, Lifting our thoughts—how few are those who can!— Into purer and diviner air. Sincerer soul on earth was never known; Content where knowledge might not be to stay— Without vain murmur, or unmanly moan— In the soul's twilight, clamouring not for day. Whene'er with cheerless thought too much oppressed His memory gives my troubled spirit rest.

# Written near a Port on a Dark Evening

Huge vapours brood above the clifted shore, Night on the ocean settles dark and mute, Save where is heard the repercussive roar Of drowsy billows on the rugged foot Of rocks remote; or still more distant tone Of seamen in the anchored bark that tell The watch relieved; or one deep voice alone Singing the hour, and bidding "Strike the bell!"
All is black shadow but the lucid line Marked by the light surf on the level sand, Or where afar the ship-lights faintly shine Like wandering fairy fires, that oft on land Misled the pilgrim--such the dubious ray That wavering reason lends in life's long darkling way.

# Written in a Quarrel

Think, Delia, with what cruel haste  Our fleeting pleasures move, Nor heedless thus in sorrow waste  The moments due to love.
Be wise, my fair, and gently treat  These few that are our friends; Think, thus abus'd, what sad regret  Their speedy flight attends!
Sure in those eyes I lov'd so well,  And wish'd so long to see, Anger I thought could never dwell,  Or anger aim'd at me.
No bold offence of mine I knew  Should e'er provoke your hate; And, early taught to think you true,  Still hop'd a gentler fate.
With kindness bless the present hour,  Or oh! we meet in vain! What can we do in absence more  Than suffer and complain?
Fated to ills beyond redress,  We must endure our woe; The days allow'd us to possess,  'Tis madness to forgo.

# Written—In Red

Published 16 December, 1911 in .Regeneración. This was Voltairine de Cleyre's last poem.
(To Our Living Dead in Mexico's Struggle)
Written in red their protest stands, For the gods of the World to see; On the dooming wall their bodiless hands have blazoned "Upharsin," and flaring brands Illume the message: "Seize the lands! Open the prisons and make men free!" Blaze out the living words of the dead Written—in red.
Gods of the World! Their mouths are dumb! Your guns have spoken and they are dust. But the shrouded Living, whose hearts were numb, have felt the beat of a wakening drum Within them sounding—the Dead men's tongue— Calling: "Smite off the ancient rust!" Have beheld "Resurrexit," the word of the Dead, Written—in red.
Bear it aloft, O! roaring flame; Skyward aloft, where all may see; Slaves of the World! Our cause is the same; One is the immemorial shame; One is the struggle, and in One name— MANHOOD— we battle to set men free. "Uncurse us the Land!" flame the words of the Dead, Written—in red.

# White-Jacket/Chapter LXXXII

Chapter LXXXII. What Remains of a Man-of-War's-Man After His Burial at Sea.
Upon examining Shenly's bag, a will was found, scratched in pencil, upon a blank leaf in the middle of his Bible; or, to use the phrase of one of the seamen, in the midships, atween the Bible and Testament, where the Pothecary (Apocrypha) uses to be.
The will was comprised in one solitary sentence, exclusive of the dates and signatures: "In case I die on the voyage, the Purser will please pay over my wages to my wife, who lives in Portsmouth, New Hampshire."
Besides the testator's, there were two signatures of witnesses.
This last will and testament being shown to the Purser, who, it seems, had been a notary, or surrogate, or some sort of cosy chamber practitioner in his time, he declared that it must be "proved." So the witnesses were called, and after recognising their hands to the paper; for the purpose of additionally testing their honesty, they were interrogated concerning the day on which they had signed--whether it was Banyan Day, or Duff Day, or Swampseed Day; for among the sailors on board a man-of-war, the land terms, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, are almost unknown. In place of these they substitute nautical names, some of which are significant of the daily bill of fare at dinner for the week.
The two witnesses were somewhat puzzled by the attorney-like questions of the Purser, till a third party came along, one of the ship's barbers, and declared, of his own knowledge, that Shenly executed the instrument on a Shaving Day; for the deceased seaman had informed him of the circumstance, when he came to have his beard reaped on the morning of the event.
In the Purser's opinion, this settled the question; and it is to be hoped that the widow duly received her husband's death-earned wages.
Shenly was dead and gone; and what was Shenly's epitaph?
    --"D. D."--
opposite his name in the Purser's books, in "Black's best Writing Fluid"--funereal name and funereal hue--meaning "Discharged, Dead."
# White-Jacket/Chapter LXXXI

Chapter LXXXI. How They Bury a Man-of-War's-Man at Sea.
Quarters over in the morning, the boatswain and his four mates stood round the main hatchway, and after giving the usual whistle, made the customary announcement--"All hands bury the dead, ahoy!"
In a man-of-war, every thing, even to a man's funeral and burial, proceeds with the unrelenting promptitude of the martial code. And whether it is all hands bury the dead! or all hands splice the main-brace, the order is given in the same hoarse tones.
Both officers and men assembled in the lee waist, and through that bareheaded crowd the mess-mates of Shenly brought his body to the same gangway where it had thrice winced under the scourge. But there is something in death that ennobles even a pauper's corpse; and the Captain himself stood bareheaded before the remains of a man whom, with his hat on, he had sentenced to the ignominious gratings when alive.
"I am the resurrection and the life!" solemnly began the Chaplain, in full canonicals, the prayer-book in his hand.
"Damn you! off those booms!" roared a boatswain's mate to a crowd of top-men, who had elevated themselves to gain a better view of the scene.
"We commit this body to the deep!" At the word, Shenly's mess-mates tilted the board, and the dead sailor sank in the sea.
"Look aloft," whispered Jack Chase. "See that bird! it is the spirit of Shenly."
Gazing upward, all beheld a snow-white, solitary fowl, which--whence coming no one could tell--had been hovering over the main-mast during the service, and was now sailing far up into the depths of the sky.

# Woman of the Century/Kate Tupper Galpin

​GALPIN, Mrs. Kate Tapper, educator, born in Brighton, Iowa, 3rd August, 1855 She is a sister of Mrs. Wilkes and Miss Tupper, whose lives are found elsewhere in this book. KATE TIPPER GALPIN. She lived during her girlhood on a farm near Brighton. As a child she was very frail, but the free and active life of her country home gave her robust health. Her first teacher was her mother, who taught school while her father was in the war. Her mother would go to school on horseback, with Kate behind her and a baby sister in her lap. Later she attended the village school until she was fifteen, when she was sent to the Iowa Agricultural College in Ames, where she was graduated in 1874. The vacations of the college were in the winter, and in the vacation following her sophomore year she had her first experience in teaching, in a district school three miles out of Des Moines, Iowa, where the family was then living. The next winter, when seventeen years of age, she was an assistant in a Baptist college in Des Moines, her earnings enabling her to pay most of her college expenses. As a student her especial delight was in oratory. In an oratorical contest, during her senior year, she was successful over a number of young men who have since become well-known lawyers of the State, and in the intercollegiate contest which followed she received second honor among the representatives of all the colleges of the State. She has very marked dramatic ability, but this has been chiefly used by her in drilling students for the presentation of dramas. Her first schools after graduating were in Iowa. From 1875 to 1879 she taught in the Marshalltown, Iowa, high school, having held responsible positions in summer institutes in many parts of the State. In 1878 she taught an ungraded school in the little village of Beloit, Iowa, in order to be near her parents, who were living on a homestead in Dakota, and to have with her in the school her younger brother and sister. Later she taught for four years as principal of the academic department 01 the Wisconsin Normal School in Whitewater. During the following three years she held positions in the high school of Portland, Ore. Next she was called to the professorship of pedagogics in the State University of Nevada, with salary and authority the same as the men of the faculty. In 1890 she resigned her professorship in the university and received a call to the presidency of a prominent normal school, which she refused. That summer she became the wife of Cromwell Galpin, of Los Angeles, Cal., consummating a somewhat romantic attachment of her college life. Since then she has rested from her profession, but has taught special classes in oratory in the University of Los Angeles. All the ambition, energy and ingenuity that made her so distinguished as a teacher are now expended with equal success in the management of her housekeeping and the care of her husband's children. She has one child, a daughter.
