HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

Just recently l visited the famous
old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
again. 1t is pleasure to stand on
its bank, and imagine one of the
boats, laden with coal and towed by
the plodding mule, and the continu-
Gus sheet of placid water, instead
of the weeds, trees and cat-o-nine-
tails that now choke the canal. And
in the background flows the now
quiet Potomac River. There is no
doubt that if the Potomac had not
reached out so roughly in its spring
freshets and literally destroyed the
canal, the canal that reaches from
Washington to Cumberland would
have been equal to its designers
fondest dreams; would have played
a much larger part in the history of
the nation, and would still be in
service today. But as it is, it is i'm
possible to measure the part it has
played, and the worth it has repre-
scented to both our Nation and our
State. Much of its history has been
told in earlier columns of Horse and
Buggy Days.
1t is of a special interest today
to remember that the vast amount
of labor and materials that went in
to its construction, falling almost
entirely on the State of Maryland
after the first year, rendered this
State almost bankrupt Then there
was the time when 112 citizens OF
Washington County helped foster the
work by guaranteeing that they
would purchase, through the canal
each year, at least 10000 tons Of
coal And another point of special
interest, particularly to fishermen,
is the body of water known as Big
Pool. This little lake was just g
low section till the canal that lies
between it and the river-and OF
course much higher that the river
was filled with water. Then this sec
ton began to fill in, and ever since
| has been a lake.
One other point worth mentioning
from the earlier history of the canal
has to do with the language used by
| the orators at the ceremony attend
ing the beginning of the construc-
ton work. None other than the
President of the United States, John
Quincy Adams, removed the first
spadeful of earth. He and the cana
president, Mr. Mercer, made the
speeches. In these, they compared
the work about to commence with the
wonders of the ancient World-the
Wall of China, the Pyramids, anc
others. In the carefully planned ano
timed speech, the canal president
handed to the Nations President G
spade, calling it, ''the humble in
strument Of rural labor, the symbo,
of the favorite occupation of oul
countrymen," and at another place
it was termed the "consecrated in
strument."
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1950-03-23

And we remember too that the
Presidents speech was interrupted or
delayed, when he attempted to bury
the spade in the earth, but struck
root And the crowd, who could
not hear his words, saw President
Adams suddenly throw down the
spade, remove his coat, and take up
the spade in earnest, and sink it,
root or no root.
Almost at the same moment that
President Adams spade turned up
the first ground to make way for
the canal, another project was start
ed, and at a short distance from this
one. 1t was the beginning of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
The plans for the B. & o., as it
has long been called, at that day
attracted much less attention than
the canal. The canal was hailed as
the more practical and as the route
that would bind the Nation. We re-
member that the canal was to event
ually link the Atlantic and the Ma
TONS Capital with the Great Lakes,
with all the Mississippi and Missouri
territory, and with the foothills of
/ the Rockies. The date of these be-
ginnings was July 4, 1928.
One of the things that was largely
responsible for the starting of the
railroad at this time, was the great
publicity that the canal was receiv-
ing. This centered the hopes for
future trade in the city of Washing
ton, and left Baltimore just about
out of things. So the plans for the
Railroad were hurried, and con-
struction was started the same day
Surveyors were Immediately sent
out, and as a result the railroad
= agents seized a narrow strip of land
between the river and the noun
tains, below Harpers Ferry, where
there was not enough room for both
| canal and railroad Immediately the
directors of the canal brought suit
in the court in Hagerstown, to re-
strain the railroad from using the
right of way, insisting that they, the
canal company, had acquired all the
, rights of the old Potomac Company
and it was on this argument that
Judge Buchanan, of the Hagerstowr
Court, issued the injunction that
stopped the railroad Of course the
Baltimore papers accused the Judge
of exceeding his jurisdiction, and
there was a long court battle for this
narrow strip of ground. So uncer-
tain was this battle, that the canal
company sent their surveyors to the
Virginia bank of the Potomac. But
finally the decision was given in
favor of the canal, but with the pro-
vision that the canal and railroad
were to run parallel as far as Har-
pers Ferry, where the railroad would
cross over the canal, and go to the
] Virginia side of the river. 1t was
found necessary for the railroad to

tunnel the end of Catoctin Mountain
Several interesting details. of this
struggle come to light. The people
of Washington County subscribed
for railroad stock, along with the
State, and prevailed upon the Leg
islature to require the railroad, as
a result of our subscription, to pass
through Boonsboro and Hagerstown,
on its way to Cumberland. There
was to be paid to the State of Mary
land 100000 penalty if the railroad
failed to do this. But when the liti-
cation over the narrows was ended,
and the B. & o. entered Virginia,
the railroad company boldly stated
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1950-03-23

that they had no intentions of pay
ing the penalty, and the Maryland
Legislature quickly reversed this
clause But Virginia and the people
of Martinsburg, w. Va, had not been
sleeping. By this time, they had
ready subscription, and a re-
quirement that the new railroad pass
through Williamsburg. And so it
does.
1t is of interest too, to note that
the lawyers who fought for the rail-
road in the court battle for the mar
rows below Harpers Ferry, were

All CLUB NEWS

At yesterdays Mendenhall All
Club meeting, the boys enthusiasm
rose to new high when they heard
Dwain. Reddekop's !. announcement
that his New Hampshire pullets are
about ready to lay. He is now busily
engaged building laying nests for
them and soon will move the sturdy
and vigorous-looking birds into their
permanent laying house. Dwain,
who raised the pullets from baby
chicks, will now be assured steady
cash return from the sale of the
eggs and will thus be repaid for the
careful attention he gave his poultry
project. MY ROSTERS are also ready
for market" Dwain stated proudly.
Although there is still consider
able length of time left for potatoes
to grow, Billy Gaines dug one hill of
his good-size potato patch and to his
overwhelming surprise and delight
found ten large tubers-all very
smooth and nice and white look
ing, just like the kind that bring
a good market price. Billy and all
other All potato growers look for
ward to exhibiting their successful
first-year crop at the September
fair.
The most outstanding variety OF
vegetable and flower garden pro-
jects are being grown by All club
boys OF the Winfield School. Their
gardens look exceptionally promis-
ing and very very beautiful.
At yesterdays meeting a demon
stration of vegetable hoeing and
cultivating, given by Russell Nelson,
held special interest. Russell stressed
and ably told the onlookers that
during the entire growing season
"a large share of success lies IN
keeping the ground hoed and in
keeping it loose around the grow
ing crop, SO that air can get to the
root system to further stimulate
its growth"
The meeting was held at the
home of Mrs. Joe Kendler with Mrs.
Howard Gaines assisting.
