Throughout the State.

cratic delegates by majOrities ranging
from 100 10 200.
The official vote of this city and
Ohio county shows a Democratic gain
of over 200 over the Presidential elec-
tlon last fall, but as compared with
the election for delegates two years
ago, shows a Democratic loss of about
400 A week will probably elapse be
fore sufficient returns will be received

The History Of she Ts.e "Dixie.''
The Memphis Fost tells this ssosy Of the song

The History OF she Taae s'Dixie.''
The Memphis Post tells this story Of the song
Dixie: sl 81 ~ kN
"In the first place the song And cAosns a
Dixie was composed and arranged BY Dan
Emmett. member OF q travelling minstrel party,
Who. while at Mobile in the wintses Of 1918,
heard some negro laborers singing On the levee
while loading cotton. The thought struck Dan
that with little change Of measure it could be
rade & good song and walk round" which
generally winds up negro minstrel concert.
Dan arranged it and produced IL. It became q
success, and was sung and played all over the
country by the bands eri.T
In the spring of 1861, Mrs. John Wood came to
New Orleans to play an engagement at the Vxri4
ETY. Theater. During the time she appeared in
Broughams burlesqns of Pocahontas. At the
6rst rehearsal of that piece everything went we'll
till near the close Of the second act Tom Nc
Donough (now agent Tor the Ledingwells) got
mp a Zouave march and drill by twenty-five
ladies, led by Susan Denim. Everything run
smooth, but the music for the march could not
Be fixed upon. Carlo Patti was leader of the
orchestra, and he tried several marches, but none
suited MnDonough--one was too slow. another
500 tame, another not enough spirit. At length
Patti struck up the negro air of "Dixie." That
will do Patti-the very thing" said Tom, and
-Dixie" was played, and the march gone through
with, and the chorus by all the characters. At
aight it received double encore, and P0cahOnf
las had q .'run," and from that time out, the
streets and parlors rang with "Dixie" The
war broke out that spring, and the bands took
4 up, and "Dixie" became to the South what the
Iarsellaise Hymn was to the French, And
that's how "Dixie" became the popular war song
II the South. ag vy 4
