company. He was not long in discov-
ering that he could compose songs Of
the kind in use by clowns. One of
the finest of these was cold Dan
Tucker" of pleasant if inebriate
memory. Its success was so great
that Emmett followed it with many
others.
Finally he took to impersonations,
singing his own songs in the ring,
while he accompanied himself on the
banjo. He made a specially of old
men, and blaclened his face and
donned wig of kinky white hair. He
became such favorite with the pat
rons of the circus in the South and
West that at last, partly by chance
and partly through intention, he in.
vaded the stage himself.
This was some time in 1S42, at the
old Chatham Theatre in New York
city, when, with two companions, he
gave mixed performance, made up
largely of songs and dances typical Of
slave life and character. The little
troupe was billed as the Virginia
Minstrels," and their popularity with
the public was instantaneous.

Wants the Contract Annulled.

George Osgood Lord has brought
suit in the Supreme Court of New York
against the Spanish Transatlantic
Company for s1OO, 900, but the real OBJ
ject of the suit is to have the contract
the quartermaster's department made
with the enemy's steamship line an
nulled. The ground for the sui, is that
the contract is against public policy
and gives aid and comfort to an enemy
of the United States.

Some statistics, most significant or
the Improvement in both trade and
farming during 1897, have been COM
piled by the Department OF Agricul-
ture. says the New York Mail and Ex-
press. The farmers Of the United
States, for example, received for their
cereal crops about S130,000,000 more in
1897 than in 1896, and $SO,OoOOOO more
than in any year since 1892. Hay ana
wool are both higher in price, and only
in cotton is there not a substantial In
crease in the reward of the planter. 1t
Is even more noteworthy that the value
of the farm horses Of the country In
creased during 1897 in value over S2o,-
100000, the milch cows over S6o,oOo'-
600 and other cattle over SlO4, ,OOo,OOO,
and sheep over $4,000 900, the total IN
crease being estimated at over S236,-
100000. Statistician hyde summarizes
his figures by the statement that the
farmers Of the United States received
at least $500, 100000 more in 1897 than
in 1896. OF the total increase IN our
export trade $4,000, 600 for 1897, it is
estimated that two-thirds was for agri-
cultural products. These figures prove
that the primary source of wealth III
this country is growing rapidly, ana
that the industry Of farming is earning
richer rewards. They mean that there
has arisen in manufacturing centerS
larger and n more liberal market Tor
the consumption of all the products Oh
old mother Earth They show that the
prosperity of the farmer means large"
and more scientific development or
broad acres, and Il growing supply OF
products to send to foreign markets
The farmer will wax as does the man
ufacturer. The mill and the cnrni1eld
are united in interest. Together they
will continue to swell our exports with
their surplus products, and to receive
peaceful tribute from lis, as we'll as
from all the world.

An Officers Shot Gun Accidentally
Discharged, Instantly killing
Negro Boy.

A deplorabe tragedy occurred at the
Southern railway station at Rock hill,
shortly after the 11:15 southbound train
passed Three little colored boys,
Britton Henderson, Sam Brown and
John Monroe, were there waiting for
Henry, the baggage porter, to go home
with them. Finding time hanging
heavy they lay down on the platform
ana Britton Henderson went to sleep.
Officer Rivers in his rounds came along,
and seeing the boys piled up there on
the platform, he assayed to wake them
and send them on home. With The
double barreled shot gun which he
carries on his night duty caught we'll
back at the pistol grip, he punched sam
Brown, who had not gone to sleep. and
he immediately jumped UP. Leaning
over, the policeman next nudged Brit
ton Henderson with the barrel Of the
gun. AS he did so, in some unac.
countable way, the gun was discharged
and the double load OF buckshot tore
through the little fellows abdomen,
completely disemboweling him and
almost cutting him in two. He died
instantly.

Dan Emmett Lives to See the North and

Dan Emmett Lives to See the North and
South Sing His Famous Song Together.
Perhaps very few people know that
Dan Emmett, who wrote Dixie, is
still living.
His home is in Mount Vernon, Ohio,
where he was born and where he
hopes 10 end his days. The old man
is picturesque figure on the streets
of the town. In his prime he was one
of the mid-century dandies of New
York City, but now, with calm indlf-
ference to the conventional, he usu-
ally carries long staff and wears his
coat fastened in at the waist by q bit
ofrope.
His home is little cottage on the
edge of the town, where lie lives en-
tirely alone. On almost any warm af-
ternoon he can be found seated before
his door reading, but he is ready
enough to talk with the chance visit
or, whose curiosity to meet the COM
poser of one of the national songs of
America has brought him out from!
town.
It was this curiosity that took me
to the cottage. The old composer was
seated in the shade by his house with
book open before him. AS 1 went
up the path I said, for had some
doubt in my own mind
care you Dan Emmett, who wrote
'Dixie'?"
"Well, I have heard of the fellow;
sit down." and he motioned to the
steps.
"Won't you tell me how the song
was written?"
Like most everything else 1 ever
did, because it had to be done. One
Saturday night, in 1859, as I was
leaving Bryant's Theatre, where was
playing, Bryant called after me, L
want walk-round for Monday, Dam
The next day it rained and stayed
indoors. At first when 1 went at the.
song 1 couldn't get anything. But a
line, 4 wish 1 was in Dixie, kept re-
.peating itself in my mind, and 1 finally
took it for my start. The rest wasn't
long in coming. And that's the story
of how Dixie was written.
''It made hit at once, and before
the end of the week everybody in New
York was whistling it. Then the
South took it up and claimed it for its
own. 1 sold the copyright for $500.
which was all I ever made from it.
I'll show you my first copy" He
went into the house and returned in
a moment with yellow, worn-looking
manuscript in his hand.
That's Dixie" he said. 81 am
going to give it to some historical so,
ciety in the South one of these days,
for, though I was born here in Ohio,
I count myself Southerner, as my
father was Virginian. (
Half a century ago Emmett was a
famous minstrel. Those were the
balmy days of burnt cork art, when
Bryant's Theatre on lower Broadway
was one of the most popular resorts in
New York City. Emmett was born in
1915, at Mount Vernon. He began
life as printer, but soon abandoned
his trade to join the band of circus

The Second Regiment is progressing

that many weeks will yet elapse before

would be no fault of his. Capt. ". f.
