The Old North state.
STANTON, VA. October IL, l9

STANTON, VA. october II, 1891.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
In a recent issue you say truly. anent
State songs. III The Old North state
is not distinctive, it would be difficult 10
say what is" Any one who has ever
heard that soul-stlrrng melody sung by
large gathering OF State-loyinS North
Carolinians will heartily concur In your
opinion that the words and the melody
of this song are not only distinctive. but
that they are also patriotic and inspiring,
and at the same time eminenuy dignled.
/ shall never forget the impression made
upon me by the use made Of this song
on public occasions In North Carolina.
Some years ago, when delivering course
C; lectures 10 the teachers of that Sta e
at the university at Chapel HILL the
president of that institution, DR.. Battle,
always opened the general exercises by
calling for the singing of The Old North
State b. the whole audience. in full
chorus and all standing, as a sort or
North Carolina dOXOlOgy. Ii was always
sung with a hearty goodwill. everybody
appearing to know the words and the
air. and the wave OF patriotic fervor that
II always raised was an inspiring intro
duction for one who would lecture for
the benefit Of the noble people Of the
Qld North State. / have often wished
that virginia had such an Inspiring State
song. not only for use on public occa-
sions, but to be specially appointed to
be sung by all the children In her public
schools" Who will write this for US?
Yours truly, JED. HOTCHKISS.

WHAT WOMEN NEED.
There Are Innumerabic Things Tint Con-
tribute to Their Comfort, Their Hap
pipess, and Their Health.

"Women are naturally weaker than
men and more respondent. They surer
and require assistance. Far too OFTEN
this is not appreciated. but It is never
theless necessary. Men are made to bat
tie with the world ana with each other
women possess the gentler traits which
entitle them TO consideration and kind
ness II stands to reason that when wo-
men do not feel WELL when their strength
seems all gone and they are respondent,
often discouraged. they need. indeed must
have, assistance. This assistance can
best be rendered I'm the form of some
gentle stmuant which enables them TO
regain their strength, preserve their
health. their beauty and their attractive
ness. At such times nothing can equal "a
medicinal whskey. and Duny's Pure
Malt IS the only preparation which has
ever met this requirement There are
women who realize this truth fully, and
follow carefully the path named. They
realize their needs ana always act upon
such knowledge
The above remarks We're made by a
bright and prominent lady in New YORK
society. and she voiced the sentiment or
hundreds Of others who have passed
through similar experiences. This great
medicinal whiskey, which Is the only one
on the market that possesses the power
named. can be- procured Of any reputable
druggist or grocer. Do not be induced 10
take any other.

Morgantown. in Monongaheia county.

Pennsylvania lire. but this fact did not
prevent huge mass-meeting from as
sembling there last Saturday II promote
the cause OF Chairman W. J.. Wilson.
Morgantown is on the Mcnongahela river.
upon which slackwater navigation Is
maintained which connects that town
closely with Pittsburgh and other strong
holds Of protection. But for all this. AMI
Notwithstanding that MorOngahela county
is Republican by large majority. Mr..
Wilson met with a most gratifying re-
ception at its county seat. We still pre-
dict his election.

The Populists.

The Baltimore Sun says that "if' the
Popullsts are anywhere near right in
their estimates they will carry several OF
the Western States at the election Of 1896
and thus throw the election OF President
into the House OF Representatives.
But the boys say that ''iG' Is a Ions
letter. Besides. when the election gets in
TO the House Of Representatives, tbs
Populists will vanish. We predict tina,
they Will not have the majority of the
delegation from any State. and SO will
not have a vote in the House.

Rare Presence of Mind.

81 knew q sea captain who died some
years ago who displayed great presence
of mind at most critical time" said
Henry S. Roberts Of Boston. His ship
had caught fire. and the passengers and
crew were compelled to take to the boats
in hurry. The captain remained per-
fectly cool throughout all the confusion
and fright of the emharkation. and at
last every one but himself was got safe
ly into the boats. By the time he was
ready to follow the passengers were wild
with fear and excitement. Instead Of
hurrying down the ladder, the captain
called out to the sailors to hold on a
minute, and taking a cigar from his
pocket coolly bit the end off and lighted
it with piece Of the burning rigging.
Then he descended with great Gclibera-
ton and gave the order to shove off.
How could you stop to light q cigar at
such a moment? he was afterward ask
ed by one Of the passengers. Because,
he answered, 4 saw that if did not do
something to divert your minds there
would likely be panic and upset the
boats. The lighting of a cigar took but
a moment and attracted the attention
of everybody. You all forgot yourselves
in thinking about my curious behavior,
and we got safely away. st Louis
