AN APPRECIATION

The following communication, writ
ten by one Of our worthy colored cit
liens, was handed to the Dispatch,
with the request that we publish it..
We print it with pleasure, showing,
as il does, the high esteem in which
the late General +. T. Sykes was
held By the colored people Of our city:
editor The Dispatch: Dear Sir:
On behalf Of the colored people Of
Columbus. please let us say. that the
death Of no white man in the South
could have brought more sorrow to
the hearts Of the colored people Of
Columbus than that Of General Z. T..
Sykes.
General Sykes was the lifelong
friend Of the black people. He un-
derstood their faults. their weakness
es, their shortcomings. and covered
their frailties with the mantle Of
Christian charity.
"Our heartfelt sympathy is extend
ed to Mrs. Sykes and Miss Augusta
IN their great s0rrow."

Napoleon, the terrible, splendid, lurid sword
of destiny, purged Europe of its putrd tradi-
tons, making possible the freedom Of the
present day, to die wretched captive van
quished by his own unholy ambition.
OF all these me nof laurel leaves, not one
was greater than his crimes.
In his utter sincerity, in his perfectly
poised character, in his simple but unap-
proachable dignity; in his lofty adherence to
duty, and in the absence of selfshness, no
man in history, except Robert E. Lee, APP
proaches Washington. No man ever so COM
pletely made his way to the stars through
difficulties Trenton was a battle won
Yorktown was success, but Valley Forge was
victory
When a nations love would have given
him a crown, he was Noo great to coquette
with fate, but simply, grandly, sincerely, fin
ally refused it. No crown, no kingdom could
have been as great as Washington, the gen.
tleman. Great az the power of the general
was, he was greater than his power Great
as the fame of the man is, he is greater
than his fame. He was called by the poet
"Cncinnatus of the West" Nothing further
from him. He was no ploughboy returning
its of the world by comparison. He was the
gentleman who having done his duty as gem
tlemen do, retired in dignity to private life.
Never in the history of the world has
human career been so marked with memoir
ials Of applause. In touching fame, he made
fame greater. So great, so pervading is the
fame of the man, so radiant is it, that we
lose sight of it as we lose sight of the daily
splendor of the sun.
In this day, when little men do fret the
world and proclaim themselves great, it is
well for US to pause on the twenty second of
February, and stand with bowed head be-
fore the grandly-simpe tomb at Mount Yer
non and reflect that there in the dignity of
death lies all that was mortal of the man.
and keep within our hearts all that is immor-
tai Of Washington; for he was, indeed, First
in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts
of his countrymen"
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1922-02-22

Of all genera, man differs most widely in
species. In fact, aside from chronological
classification, there can hardly be said to be
species in man, so widely does progeny diff
fer. Bones, organs, tissues are alike, but
character, which is the most of man. varies
indefinitely. From the ignobly little, to the
towering great, the way is long and the un-
dulations many, and the heights are few.
Among the very great of our land, his tow
ering form and lofty character plainly stamp
ed upon the shores of time, in sharp outlines
the passing years cannot dim, stands our
first president, affectonGtey called "The
Father of His Country" the immortal George.
Washington
Calm, majestic and serene he stands-in
his simplicity sublime-a lonely eminence in
the world of men.
1t is very lonely to be great. No lghtn-
ings flash about his placid brow; no thunder
utters terror in his name; no covering slaves
crouch at his conquering feet. Washington is
simply, majestically, noiselessly great. Great
er than Caesar, he conquered greed of power;
greater than Cromwell, he won the love of
his people; greater than Napoleon, he van
quished ambition.
1t is the habit of history to proclaim as
great, principally military heroes, perhaps
because men love action, camor and glitter.
There are many in the story of the world
greater as soldiers than Washington
Alexander conquered the world, and died
drunken sensualist.
Caesar was master of Rome when Rome
was mistress of the world, refusing a crown
as peoples gift because he chose to take it
in the pride of his own power, and died be-
meath the daggers of his friends, and in the
end, missed victory.
Marlborough, the unconquerable terror of
his foes, who could fight as no man ever
fought, wept out dishonored, exiled life, the
conqueror of nation and the vanquished
of avarice.
Cromwell refused a crown to WELD a vul-
gar tyrants power, to be torn at last from
his unquiet grave and exposed to nations
scorn.

ment of the hotel, and was an at
tractive feature of the luncheon.

were guests of the club, and were in
troduced by their respective hosts, DR..
d. d. Griffin, Mr.. B. G. Hazard and
