The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1915-04-13
FIFTY YEARS AGO
AT AnPoMATTox

Rev. R. A. Ward, of this city,
was impressed with a recent editor
ial in the Evening Telegram, called
forth by the fiftieth anniversary. OF
Lees surrender. He appreciated the
article as giving expression to the
sentiments of the South; and he
hands us the following article from
the Oswego On. " Times, as indica-
tive of the present viewpoint of in
telligent Northerners:
The fiftieth anniversary, April 9,
Of the surrender Of Lee at Appomat-
tox will not be observed much by
public celebrations. 1t is one of the
great historic events of American
life. Yet few northern men care to
rub In these memories. They can
only have sympathy for their tragic
declaration of the South.
To the older people the memories
Of that portentous day will never
glow dim. The gulf between the
two sections seemed as high as heav-
en- and as deep as hell, CHASTITY with
skeletons, ruined homes and fortunes
Yetstime heals all wounds. There
are scars visible, but flowers have
grown over the graves and the ruins.
Perfect harmony can never be ex-
pected between widely separated Sec
tions of any large country. The fact
that differences exist does not prove
that the relations are not cordial.
The East and West have their sharp
conflicts, almost as much as South
and North.
A nation that spreads over so vast
an expanse as the United States has
many divergent interests to recon
cile. 1t can never be as harmonious
as small and compact country. It
gains all the power and freedom of
bigness, but it pays for it with the
diversities of ideas and points of
view. This diversities are often
oHdI y, y CT tucy Hccu ueNtT De SoTlOuS
or threatening.
If it was only possible for the great
mass of the people to travel freely
all over the country, friction be-
tween sections would be reduced to
a small, minimum. Most of the Diff
ferences referred to result from a
lack Of personal understanding of the
people and problems OF other Sec
tions.
The heroism of the two armies that
finally Joined hands at Appomattox
is the Joint heritage Of all the peo-
pie. Their endurance, and their
daring are an expression Of the ideal
ism and determination Of American
character. Any man who had an am
cestor on that field has a right to
rejoice in the glory Of his blood, re-
gardless which side he fought on.
