age. And of those in our midst, at the |
present time, who are long past 80 years
of age, mention might be made of
many.
The Various Organizations of Women.
Perhaps the life of the women of the
Twentieth Century does not vary very
much from that of the women of the
nineteenth. In 1867 there was held
large festival for the benefit of the
Benevolent Society, and even to the
present day, among the events of the
winter is the Kings Daughters supper,
the bazaar and supper of the Womens
Auxiliary of st. Peters Church, and
the Mite Society suppers of the Meth
odist and Presbyterian Churches.
Perhaps the most elaborate festival or
supper the ladies ever gave was the
Martha Washington Tea, given by the
Methodist Mite Society on Feb. %
1875, and it has hardly been surpassed
in splendor of costume. The mOnu-
ments to wOmanhood in our town are
few perhaps, but the "cup of cold
water" has not been forgotten or over
looked, for standing near the four
corners is the fountain" the gift of
the citizens of the town, through the
WOman's Christian Temperance I'm
ion. For Smyrna woman banded them
selves together, in 1877 under the
total abstinence pledge and tied on
the white ribbon and the W. G. Il. U.
is one of the strong organizations of
Smyrna.
Organization of the Twentieth Century Club.
The youngest organization of women
is doubtless the Twentieth Century
Club, but who shall say the founda-
tiOns were not laid for this literary and
| social enterprise in the Bryant Liter
AIRY Society, organized in March 1879,
under whose auspices hourished the
literary, social and dramatic elements
of the town and community for several
years, and disbanded for lack of a
meeting place. Profiting by this ex-
perience the Century Club is doubtless
displaying wisdom and foresight in
considering the purchasing of lot
and the building of club house.
Thus in her own quiet, unobtrusive
way have the women of Smyrna written
their history on the town. Thus has
the womanhood of Smyrna lived up tc
the beautiful picture of womanhood
painted by the "Wise Man :"
''She worketh willingly with her hands
She stretchetL out her hand to the poor
yea she reacheth forth her hands to the
needy
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; anC
in her tongue is the law of kindness.
She looketh well to the ways of he
household, and eateth not the bread of idle
ness.
Her children arise up and call her blessed
, her husband also and he praiseth her.
Give her of the fruit of her hands, ant
let her own works praise her in the gates.
Smyrna times., 1904-07-06
BY MRS. LEWIS M. PRICE.

Die ladies were frequent contributors.
MISS Sallle Patterson, whose nome de
plume "Narcissa," is seen signed to
both poetical and prose contributions,
wrote cOpious histories of local events
and urged local improvements. She
was better known as Mrs. S. P.
Mason. Whatever may have been the
social amenities of the women of the
tifties, their thoughts were not all on
frivolity, but that they were charit-
ably inclined may be judged from the
fact that the Benevolent Society was
the first regularly organized society
for women in our town. This was in
1867, and so effectually did "she plead
the cause of the poor and needy" that
the first Festival of which record is
made cleared $143.52. The first Off
GERS we're: President, Mrs. Ellen
Cummins; vice-president, Miss Sara
Cummins; secretary, Mrs. S. P. Ma
son, and treasurer, Mrs. Catherine
Clements. Mrs. N. T. Jerman was
elected sole distributor, with the
power to chose an assistant.
The Largest Gift Of Any One Woman.
And that they loved their church and
its care was not neglected the Mite So
ciety of the Methodist and Presby-
terian Churches are a monument unto
this day. Perhaps the largest gift of
any one woman to the church of her
choice was the building of the st.
Peters Chapel-the gift of Mrs. Susan
Fisler to the Protestant Episcopal
Church. Second to this was the build
ing and maintaining of the Jerman
Chapel by Mrs. N. I. Jerman. There
she labored for years as a Home Mis-
sionary, conducting a Sunday School
on Sunday afternoon, composed of
pupils she had gathered together and
clothed during the week. Neither
have her less fortunate sisters across
the seas been forgotten, for Foreign
Missionary Societies in all three OF
the Protestant churches in our midst
have long fourished. And three women a
have gone into foreign lands to labor,
Mrs. S. L. Baldwin, DIR. Ella Swim
ney and DIR. Kate Woodruff.
The womanhood of Smyrna very
nearly realizes the German Emperor s

ideal OF the three feminine virtues,
church - children - cooking" For
the hospitality of Smyrna, is it not far
famed beyond the borders of our own
State? Ever since the days before the
railroad reached our town, the "old
omnibus" stopped at certain homes
every Monday morning for guests who
had spent Sunday in Smyrna-and
that was before the time of the now
popular "week end" visits, And now
from Claymont to Delmar do not the
inhabitants of the State come to
Conference, Conven tion and Fedora
tiOn, until it has become a saying
when counting delegates "They all
like to go to Smyrna" 1t is the
cordial, courteous womanhood of
place that gives warmth to the hospi-
tality of the homes.
In Philadelphia, New York and
some of the western cities the organi-
cations of the 'Sons of Delaware" al
ways number among their members,
men from Smyrna. Thus in far away
homes do cher children arise up, and
call her blessed" For these organi-
cations are maintained in loving re-
membrance of happy days lived in
Delaware, and 'tis woman makes a
The Days of the State and County Fairs.
In the days of the State and Coun-
ty Fairs, many prizes and prem
iuns fell to the women of Smyrna for
excelling in bread, cake, pies, pre-
serves, jellies, needle work, penman-
ship, painting, ETC., for skill with her
needle, at the Centennial Exhibition,
held in Philadelphia, Smyrna woman
Mrs. Sarah Anthony took premium.
A quiet, conservative life! Perhaps,
but the Psalmist has said, "Let thy
heart keep my commandments, for
length of days and long life and peace,
shall they add to thee" And ''long
life and peace" have been added tc
many women IN Smyrna. Mrs. Anne
Denney, was probably the oldest, she
lived to be 1O4 years old and her 10:
birthday, in 1879 was celebrated by hel
family and friends at Woodlawn as {
most joyous occasion. And Aunty

THE WOMAN1OOD OF
SMYRNA FOR FIFTY YEARS


The women of Smyrna fifty years
ago-the period of the crinoline and
the poke bonnet, of the picturesque
high stock and quaint long coats!
The time when bellies had beaux!
What thoughts and aspirations filled
their minds and hearts-those demure
and stately maids and matrons. We
know that Cupid aimed his darts
as accurately then as now. One
would think to hear the greatgrand
mothers of the present day tell of
the heart histories of those times
that he had preference for hearts
that were young and tender; for lassies
were we'd at the early age of 16, II and
1S, and one who had passed her twen-
tieth birthday was quite spinster and
not surprised at being called an "old
maid. p" Then one wedding was sure
to make another; because brides
maids and groOmsmen held high car
nival for a week before and week after
the wedding. But of the heart -burnings
and records of heart searchings and
how the sun, moon and stars affected
the innermOst thoughts of the young
ladies of that day, one must have ac-
cess to the old and yellow diarys of
individuals and of the copious letters
they wrote.
Reference Rarely Made About Women.
One may search the newspapers in
vain for items of interest concerning
the comings and goings and social af-
fairs-it was the time when a woman's s
name appeared bEt twice in print,
when she married and when she ed.
Perhaps if some great misfortune over
took her, some painful accident, it
might be chronicled in the weekly
newspaper. But she aspired not to
see her name in a column of Clown
Talk, Merely Mentioned" or per
sonals." But the papers contained
various articles for her especial edit
cation, particularly those who were
styled "Old Maids, "Spinsters, and
''Young Wives" Thus the news
papers ministered to their need of news
as they saw them.
While nothing was said of the sccia
affairs of the town, in the early years
of The SMYRNA TIMES, certain estima

Wednesday afternoon Tailor Charles
Smith arrested a negro man who
passes under the name of Will Rob-
insOn, and who is wanted in Brevard
county on several charges, one Of
which is murder.
The authorities here were notified
that he would probably call at the
pOstOffiee for a money order or regis
tered letter, and the postmaster was
requested to phone the sheriff should
man answering to that name make
the expected visitation. Yesterday
afternoon the man called for the reg
istered letter and the postmaster i'm
mediately 'phOned Jailor Smith who
is acting deputy sheriff as well, that
his man was there.
Mr.. Smith Immediately responded
and arrested the man in the pOstoffiee,
but did not take the precautiOn to
search him, and as he was being
taken TO the Jail and almost imme-
diately in front of the Boston Store
the negro suddenly pulled from its
hiding place a 80 caIlbre revolver and
fired twice at the officer, one ball
striking him just above The right
groin and he fell on his knees, from
which position he fired three shots at
the fleeing negro who had started
down Main street on I'm.
The streets were crowded and the
shooting created intense excitement
and a number of persons, some on
foot, some in vehicles b others on
horse back, started in hot pursuit, but.
Notwithstanding which, the negro
was not Overtaken until he had COW
cred a distance Of several miles. Mr..
Carmichael was pursuing MIN in q
carriage and shot him with a gun,
but it being loaded with bird shot,
failed to bring him down. He was
eventually caught by Night Police,
man Charles Weaver, who was on his
way home from Anthony.
The negro was brought in to the
city and taken to the sherif7s Office
where he was turned over to the au-
thOrities. A large number of people
had in the meantime gathered IN the
court house yard and advocated
lynchiDg him, but the cOunsels Of the
cooler ones prevailed ami after his
wounds were examined by physicians
he was carried 20 the jail where he
now awaits trial.
Officer Smith was picked up by
friends and taken TO DIR. Hoods office
where his wounds were carefully ex-
amined, and be was afterwards taken
to his home, and his wounds dressed,
and it is not known whether the ball
glanced around or passed through the
abdomen, and it is said that cannot
just yet be definitely stated how Sc.
riOus the wounds are and the doctors
are awaiting developments.
