Saw Bicycle Blight
OF County Romance

When Ida Sullivan, the first
woman bicyclist, came pedaling
through Montgomery County in
the summer of 1892, the female
chronicler of the ANNALS of
Sandy Spring" wasn't so much
worried about accidents as about
a declining marriage rate.
She deplored, "The young man
in these days mounts his wheel
and speeds away, solitary and
alone; the young woman spins
along so swiftly that only a very
ardent and industrious youth
could ever overtake her. Unless
Cupid can learn to ride a
Columbia or a Victor every
state will soon have seventy
five thousand unmarried women. ="
And then came bicycles built
for two!

Hits County
First in ~

On June l, 1874, Montgomery
County farmers stood and watch
ed their potato patches ravaged
suddenly by new and totally
unexpected pest the Colorado
bug.
Until the middle of August bill,
lions of the insects swept across
the Allegheny Mountains, all but
destroying the potato crops of the
beWildered farmers. One planter
picked 30 gallons of the bugs
from his 10 acre field in one day.
The following day the field was
again covered with Colorado
bugs.
AT first the pitifully crude de-
Tense of "diligent picking with
the fingers was adopted. Since
this was a necessarily slow proc
ess the potato acreage was pro-
excessively reduced in 1878, '76,
and II.
Then, over the objections of
those who feared the potatoes
would be poisoned, the chemical
Paris Green was added to the
soil. 1t worked! The arsenic,
plus "the freezing of the ground
to an unwonted depth" destroyed
the Colorado bugs larvae and
over period of years the threat
practically died out.

snow, in the neighborhood of his
family's Rock Spring farm.
Barn-raising parties were held
every now and then, when all
the neighbors got together to
help with the work and then
share the food. The timberS were
cut and fitted beforehand. and
then all the men would come over
to raise the beams and rafters.
When the job was done, the
lady of the house fed all the
helpers. The next day, carpen-
tiers were called in to finish up
the detail work on the new barn.
Another cooperative enter
prise enjoyed by countians was
the constructing bee. The job
of shocking the corn, says Mr..
Farquhar, was mostly an excuse
for getting together and having
party.
In the summers, the young
people sometimes had water
melon parties. They all met and
ate watermelon in the moonlight
properly chaperoned, of course.
One of the great recreations in
the summers, Mr.. Farquhar said,
was baseball. After the crops
were cut and the farm work
finished, the young men usually
got a holiday and turned their
full attention to baseball.
The Sandy Spring and Rock
vile teams, spanked by the young
blood of the Brookes, the MooreS,
the Farquhars and other county
families, were great rivals. The
competition was keen and people
from both towns turned out in
droves, in carriages and on foot,
to watch the games.

Old'Tim,es We're Cay Times
County Historian Maintains

Judging from the stories told
by "old-timers," the Gay Nine
ties certainly were - even in the
relatively unsophisticated farm.
ing communities of Montgomery
County.
Roger B. Farquhar, noted
Maryland historian who was
born and raised in the county,
reviewed his memories of social
life in the old days for the bene.
fit of the SENTINEL'S readers.
Dances were popular in the
COS, Mr.. Farquhar said, held
often in the summertime. The
Grange Hall, at Olney, was often
the site of these affairs. One of
the best violinists of the time,
who played for dances, was
Walter Scott.
The Rockland school house,
near Olney, was another popular
spot for dances. Square dances,
polkas and waltzes were often
played, and cotillions, or Ger
mans" - sets of formal figures
were danced occasionally.
THE young people of the time
enjoyed "tally-ho" rides in the
summers. Mr.. Farquhar recalls
fitting up a four-horse stage
coach, filling it with his friends,
and setting out one day. The
route started at Sandy Spring,
continued to Bethesda and out
River Road to Great Falls. There
the company had a picnic lunch:
One winter evening in 1892,
Mr.. Farquhar talked his father
into letting him borrow four
horses and a big sled. With 10
friends aboard, he drove over the

In a series of "reminiscences"
signed simply "a resident of
Montgomery County" published
in the SENTINEL during the
1905, the writer stated, Slavery
in Maryland, as 1 knew it, was
not the painful picture so often
depicted in stories of that period;
for while the slave worked for
the master, much of the labor
expended was used to supply the
needs of the slaves"
The "reminiscer" recalled, "In
our home we always hired our
slaves from neighboring planta-
tions. They were given passes
to visit their families on the
home plantation on Saturday
night, as they were not allowed
to wander around without per
mission"
In addition to the visiting pass,
the needs" of the slaves included
a new cotton dress for each slave
woman every summer, and a
new woollen dress every other
winter.
The writer recalled one young
Negro lad who served the family
for many years. He had been
following the Union Army dur
ing the Civil War. One morning
the boy oversight and the troops
moved off without him.
Lost, he presented himself at
the nearby farmhouse of the
writer's family. He knew neither
his name nor where he came
from, referring vaguely to a
home "back yonder". Apparent
ly, like Topsy in Uncle Toms
Cabin" the Negro boy "just
growed".
The family decided to keep the
lost child. He was named Tom.
One of his tasks was to ride on
the family's carriage and spring
off to open any gates in the path.

The SENTINEL of Nov. IS,
1889 devoted its entire front page
to textual report of the speech
of a Mr.. Voohees of Indiana in
defense of Capt. Cook, one of
Browns men.
1T was a remarkably eloquent
speech couched in the most ele-
giant and chaste language" the
SENTINEL said Jury, judges,
lawyers and spectators were all
in tears, Notwithstanding the jury
manfully did its duty and brought
in verdict of guilty"
In the same issue, the SEN
TINEL reported a forthcoming
meeting of Rockville citizens to
form militia company, and the
arrest near Seneca Lock of one
William Dougal, on suspicion of
siding with John Brown. Dougal
had in his possession B. & o.
switch keys and is quoted by
the SENTINEL as saying at the
time of his arrest that Brown
was right and if they hung him,
there would be the bloodieSt war
ever known"
Basic u. S. histories have cited
the Harriet Beecher Stowe "Un-
ele Toms Cabin" and the Brown
raid as two of the events that
did much to awaken Northerners
TO a feeling of adherence of
slavery and thus heighten the
tension which later found eX-
preston in the Civil War.
The same issue of the news
paper also contained a dispatch
from Boston which reports a
warm defense of Brown by Ralph
Waldo Emerson and resulting APP.
plause from the Boston audience.
ITO such a depth of profanity"
commented the SENTINEL, "has
the spirit which animates the re-
publican action at length reached
by successive stages of deterior-
iation."
