boarding house, in a little village in
South Carolina, watching often in the
evenings the passing torch light pro

IN WAR TIMES
J. Pluss, formerly of this
Benjamin Chapter, U. D. C.,
strains of martial music, and as state
after state seceded; to the booming of
the one cannon, owned by this patr!
otic little town.
Then in the April following this
winter was the battle of Fort Sum
ter, S. C., and the awful, fratricidal
war was on. Our grand young men in
their suits of gray, hurried to the bat
tle front in Virginia; -most of them
never .to return, for, at the months
passed, so often +loved ones, wrap
ped in the Stars and Bars for which
they had (ied, were brought back to
sorrowing homes, the low red mounds
in our sacred "Odd's Acre" grew
rapidly in numbers.
'Hut I must hasten, not allowing
the garrulity of age to make you
weary; it is especially of our 'women
during these four years of awliul war,
I promise to tell you; they who so
patintly, so wisely and -so bravely
met the issues of civil strife and its
sad conditions.
Very soon after the breaking out
of hostilities the sea ports of the
south were 'blockaded and no goods
from abroad could be brought in, so
the Southland was made to .be depend
ant on its own resources and -proved
itself erual to the emergency, not be
in'- then, as now, a manufacturing
center, the clothing for all was made
by hand. Wool was :wa-hed, carded,
suun and iwoven into splendid cloth
by hand, then .made into garments by
the same tolling fingers, for the sowing
machine was an almost unthought of
luxury. Then cotton was carded and
spun, -dyed with root barks and ber
ries to make the beautiful dresses
worn by the women, than which, none
of the ginghams of -today ar4 more ex
quisite than these garments made by
the Irothers, wives and sisters during
these years of war.
I think it would amuse you to know
the substitutes used for coffee;
parched wheat, rye, okra seed and
s1weet potatoes; then these beverages

sweetened with sopghum molasses.
All of these strange vicissiudes so
'bravely and so uncomplainingly 'met.
At last the end came, when at
Appomattox Gen. Lee, to greater
forces surrendered his sword. Weary,
io.'risore, and discouraged the 'brave
men in gray walked back to changed
conditions in their homes. Then with
them, the women who had struggled
so faithfully, picked up the sadly tan
gled threads of life and undismayed
by disaster, wove a now destiny out
of this chaos.
-Phoenix like, from the Ashes of the
yesterdays a new south was made
that is the noted pride and boast of
fine (worth and hospitality the wide
.world over.
And you, sisters of today 'have iprov
en yourselves worthy of your illustri
ois ancestry.
\Vhen that awful world war began,
you buck-led on tihe armor of sons,
brothers and husbands and sent them
out to battle for the right, many of
them never to return, but their stcep
in'g dust to repose "In -Flanders' Fields
Where Poppies hIlow."
And now another pleasing duty is
yours; the continued development of
the wonderful resources of delightful
Florida, the home of sunshine, flowers
and -happy bird song.
You will, we well knmw, prove
yourselves in this work, worthy of
the women of '61 whose example is an
incentive to all that is noblest and
best in this busy life.
.1ioding to the traditions of the
past, not as a sunset, fading -glory,
but with the golden radiance of the
morning's coming lay of success.
"Learn thou,' to walk by faith ana
not by sight,
Thy steps by.'hands divine,
Will .guided be and 'guided right."
It is now my honor and my very
great pleasure, sisters of the Judah
P. Benjamin Chapter, U. D. C., to pre
sent to you this .book, "Women of the
South in War Times," the gift of your
honored president.
