The Columbus weekly dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 1902-1905, 1904-06-23
Gen. Lee To Address The People Oi
Columbus.

That our own fellow townsman
Gen. Stephen d. Lee was made
the first Confederate veteran of
the land at the recent re union
in Nashville is a matter of great
pride to the people of Columbus
who recognize in him one of the
great and central figures of the
COnfederacy. That he was the
recipient of so great an honor as
commander in chief of the hosts
of the Lost Cause; that a revela-
tiOn of the love and esteem that
the old soldiers have for him oc-
Cured; that he was loaded with
compliments and hOnors all of
which he bore with the dignity
and grace characteristic of the
Southern soldier and gentleman
are causes for unstinted gratiti-
cation on the part of the people
of his home town. Gen. Lee s
arrival at the dead hour of night
prevented that reception which
his neighbors and friends felt
that he deserved upon his return
bearing the greatest honor of his
life.
1t is with pleasure therefore,
that THE DISPATCH announces
that an opportunity to honor our
distinguished fellow townsman
will occur tomorrow night when
responding to an invitation of the
Pastor of the First Baptist
church and many leading citizens,
Gen. Lee has consented to ad-
dress the people of Columbus
upon Incidents and impressions
of the recent reunion. The ad-
dress will occur in the main audi
torium Ofthe First Baptist church
tomorrow, Thursday, night and
special invitation is extended
to the local campand all visiting
veterans, the local camp of the
Sons of Veterans, the Daughters
of the Confederacy and the pub
lie generally to attend. Besides
the address of Gen. Lee there
will be an appropriate musical
program.
To those who will ta e
occasion to attend tomorrow
evening it is Unnecessary to say
that they will be regaled with a
glowing and graphic account of
the Nashville re union from the
lips of one who was it's central
figure and who was in position to
know all of interest in that gath
ering. Gen. Lee is an interest
ing and fascinating speaker and
when touching upon the subject
so near and dear to his life's work
is especially eloquent. His ad-
dress at the recent reunion was
one Of the strongest, the ablest
and most eloquent delivered
there and it made a profound
Impression. 1t is needless to
state that the church will be
crowded to morrow evening with
our people who will delight to
hear Gen. Lee.

In his message to the Legislature
at the last session Governor Jennings
strongly recommended appropria.

several State Institutions. He said;
81 am mindful that the demands Of
the State institutions are great, that
the spirit of further Improvement Of
our public buildings are urgent. T"
He further says that the improve
ment of the properties of these in
situations must be gratifying to
the people, No one would have
supposed that within sixty days after
writing this message he would have
been engaged in yetoing the very
same appropriations, made by the
Legislature in accordance with his
recommendations
But that is not half Of the story

new department than in any o.her de-
Epartment Of the. government during the
past 10 months.
For an example. the chief clerk or
the department, Frank Hitchcock, may
be taken. Young Hitchcock when he
was selected for his present position
was at the head of the division of for
eign markets in the agricultural de-
partrhent. He was put In charge of
principal administrative division of the
new department last spring and from
that day to this he has been tied to
his desk practically every waking hour.
The only time he has been away was
when he went home to vote last fall.
Sundays and holidays have Been in
distinguishaBle for him. but. more
than that, he has doubled. the hours
of labor every day, working almost in
yariably till midnight, so that the
watchman of the building began to
keep track of him and found by actual,
count that in the course of the month
he gave to the government % extra.
days OF, labor. counting by, the. regular
department scale.
That is n of the hard features of
department life, Hitchcock, I have no
doubt, toiled as he did, not altogether
from love for the work, hut partly be-
cause he felt that he was earning the
recognition Of his superiors. But now
the one man who knows what he has
done and how much it hassmeant takes
his departure and there is nothing to
do but run the chances with a new
secretary who, whatever his inten-
lions, can never understand all that
has been gone through. Yet that is in
a way what happens every time there
is a change of administration here and
a new lot OF officers come in unfamiliar
with what they have to undertake.
