Smyrna times., 1910-06-01

Several months ago Mrs. Caroline
j. Raymond offered to donate hand
some fountain to be erected at the
standpipe in memory of her husband,
George Henry Raymond, if Smyrna
Town Council would remove the trees
and enclose the proposed park"
within stone wall. The trees were
removed several weeks ago but
nothing has been done by Council in
the matter of building the stone wall
except to get bids. 1t appears to us
there has been much unnecessary de-
Law, delay that is surely not COM
plimentary to Mrs. Raymond who
has from the goodness of her heart
and her desire to beautify the stand
pipe surroundings, agreed to donate
beautiful fountain costing in the
neighborhOOd of $1,000. 1t is not
often the town has such public spirit
shown and the dilly-dallying methods
of Town Coucil is not encouraging to
say the least. Council may justly feel
that they must watch the town treas
ury but in amatter of this kind COun-
Gil should be eager to make some
sacrifices and hasten to meet Mrs.
RAYMOND in the matter. She is ready
to carry out her offer if Council will
do its part. The matter has come
up before Council every meeting fol
the past month or two bu
each time they adjourn without doing
anything, until now the improvement
to the standpipe surroundings are n,
nearer being completed than the.

Smyrna times., 1910-06-01

On May 80, 1862, McClellen was
before Richmond and Secretary Stant-
on was expressing to him by tele-
graph the hope that the fall of the
Confederacy's Capital would come
within the next few days. Gener-
al Jackson on that day was threat
ening Harpers Ferry and Washington
itself, having just chased General
Banks out of his way, while Genera
Fremont and General Mcdowell were
fioundering about with their respect
i've armies, trying in vain to trap
him. The dark days of McClellan's
retrograde movement followed, with
the later disasters to Pope and Hook
er. President Lincoln was still to
find the commanders who could beat
the rebellion to it's knees. Forty
eight years ago, therefore, the Union
was in the greatest peril. 1t was
rescued from that peril by the hero
ism of the men whom the people
honor on Memorial Day. Many thou
sands were to die in battle or of
disease in the camp and hospitals
before Richmond's surrender came.
MANY more thousands have since died
who returned to their homes and
lived to enjoy the peace they had
gained by force of arms and to
strengthen the Republic by their
honorable careers as citizens. Many
thousands still remain to receive the
thanks of their fellow countrymen.
1t is we'll for the new generation t.
reflect seriously on how great was
the cost in toll, in suffering, and il
blood of preserving the Union; sucl
thoughts must lead them to cherisl
their country, to be jealous of it
good name and to be proud of thei
- citizenship. Every American VIII
-et2nyeo- his country, which has bee
made %ree and great by the men 0
other years, must feel the desir
to do something to make it greater
to keep it free and to increase tn
value of that citizenship which
every Americans birthright. Me
mortal Day, which was observe
Monday, was a time for high thought
of patriotism, founded not on dream
Of conquest or of imperialism,
but on the strength of an enlightent
people who can protect their own al
who scorn to do injustice TO others.

DYNAMITE LEFT BEHIND.
Marked for Havana, But Left on New

New York. Dec. S-Investigati Is
being made today into the circumstances
under which upwards of ton of dyna-
mite and two boxes of percussion caps
addressed to j. f, Havana, Cuba, -

lice last night The explosive which was
boxed and weighed about $50 pounds,
had apparently missed the last steamer.
probably arriving too late to be put on
board for Havana. Employees of the
Spanish Steamship Co.. which controls
the pier, notified the officials that the
dynamite was there. According to a card
it had .come from powder company.
The Santa Clara of the American and
Cuban Line was the last steamer to leave
the dock for Havana, putting to sea Sat
urday last.
One theory propounded by men on the
pier was that the dynamite and caps
might have been intended for revolution
airy usA. Any such theory was secuted
today by representative of the powder
company, who said they had shipped th"
dynamite to J. Fernandez, a Cuban deal
er who handled large quantities of ex-
plosives for commercial purposes chiefly
for mine blasting. Frequently as much
as 10000 pounds is sent in single ship
ment to Cuba for mining purposes, the
company's representative said The com
pany was unable to learn why this ship
ment had missed the last steamer and
was making an investigation of it's own
account, it was stated.
