DanyilIe's Centenary.

Tomorrow the people OF Danville will
have mass-meeting to arrange for the
celebration OF the centennial anniver-
sary of the city, which occurs during the
month OF November. We expect them
to arrange a grand programme and to
carry it out successfully.
Danville is a community OF wealth and
enterprise, and its favorable location
with respect to the trade of that valuable
section Of country where the best bright
tobacco is grown gives assurance that 1t
is destined to develop rapidly. 1t has
also become O railroad centre of no mean
importance. and is in close communica-
ton with many of the great markets OF
the country, while other lines are eagerly
looking to it as favorable Epoint.
True, il has some questions to settle
with the Richmond and Danville Com
pany, but we imagine that these will be
satisfactorily disposed Of.
When we speak Of Danville as COM
mercial centre we refer to Danville and
North Danville both, and both have our
hearty good wishes. May they increase
in population, business, and ell inhu-
ences for good as they increase in years.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1893-02-05
An Illustration.

Mr.. PEFFER, OF Kansas. in a recent
speech in the United States Senate
took the ground which Mr.. LEONARD
has recently taken in England. Mr..
PETER said that the total number OF
busLe- of corn, wheat, oats, barley,
rye, and buckwheat raised in the United
States in the year 1867 was ], 1929, 729,
400, OF the value Of Sl,2S4, OBJ, 300, an
average of So cents per bushel.
Coming down twenty years to 1887,
we find the total production of the same
c ps to have been $500, 457, 600 bushels,
OF the aggregate value Of 81, 204, 2S9, $40,
being an average value Of 40 cents pei
bushel. Has silver fallen at that rate
Mr.. PEFFER further said that during the
first period we had a very large amount
of money in circulation, beginning. say,
with 1866, when we had 500 bonds out.
standing amounting to 1922, 2O5, 800.
"Passing over to the report foi
1869 we find that the amount had
been increasedt to 81, 6O2, 671, 100, showing
an absorption Of currency in the three
years equal to $3.50, 1905 600. That
amount of the circulating money OF the
country had been withdrawn during the
three years, and while that was going on
the prices CT farm products and the prices
of oil other products fell very nearly in
the proportion that our circulating me-
dunn was diminished"

Who Wrote "DiXie" -?

We had hoped to be able to present
to-day all the facts obtainable as to who
wrote Dixie" but We have not yet been
able to secure the statement OF General
IoNGsrREEr, wherein he is said to de-
clare that it was composed and sung
years and years before the war by south
ern cadets at the West Point Military
Academy. 1t was but lately that we
first heard Of this claim OF authorship.
If General LoNasrREEr's recollection is
confirmed by the recollection OF others
it would dispose of the other claims
heretofore asserted but We all know
that memory is at best fallible thing.
A decade or more ago the Magazine
of american History undertook to
show that Dixie" WAS the alleged song
OF lot of negroes from the North who
were sold into the far South in advance
Of the approaching wave of abolition
sentiment in their old homes.
Later, statements Of several persons
were published that "Dixie was writ
ten in 1859 by DAN EMMETT for BRYANT's
minstrels as "a walk-around. The late
Mr.. G. L. SIEGEL, of Richmond, who
was a musician in that troupe, was one
of those who were firmly OF the opinion
that that was the real origin OF the song.
The present discussion was started by
q newspaper publication that DAN EN-.
NETT. "the author Of Dixie, is dying
in great poverty" and proposing that the
southern people should raise fund fol
bis relief.
It is to be hoped that the friends Of
Mr.. EMMETT will not wait until this
question is determined before going tc
his aid. II they do he may die Of
hunger meanwhile, as the authorship Of
"Dixie may possibly remain unsettled
almost as long as was the question
"Who wrote Stonewall Jackson's Way
and 'All Quiet Along the Potomac To
Night ?"
We are, however, quite ready to be-
lieve that BBYANT's minstrels, who
played in New Orleans and other south
ern cities just before the war began
gave the song a southern popularity
which caused it to be taken up in the
camps and to become the accepted Con
federate national air.
