It was 61 years ago yesterday, at the village of Lynn in the mountains of North Carolina, that death brought an end to Sidney Lanier’s long years of physical and economic afflictions that stem med from his hard experiences as a youth in the Confederate army and in a war prison. But death could not destroy what he had wrought, the poetry that flowed from the brain and soul of the lover of art and music and of all things beautiful in humankind and in nature. His name and fame are greater and njore widespread today than on the September day in 1881, when at the early age of 39 he was called from the South he had loved and served to the land of eternal freedom from physical frailties and material wants. Because his name and fame still are alive and will continue long to live and because of his high rank as a poet of the South, the land where he was born and died and where he spent his achieving life, the Daughters of the Confed eracy are earnestly seeking a place for him in the Hall of Fame. That cause lias been a major part of the program of the U. D. C. during 1942, which marks the 100th anniversary of Lanier’s birth, in Macon, Ga. The cause merits their effort and their un dertaking deserves to be rewarded with success. Old or new copies of The Tryon Daily Bulletin for sale at 5c each.
