THE WORDS OF "DIx1E.
%&ashviI1e Incident' Makes It Appear That Southerners Are Forget
 ting the Song.

It is a startling revela ton to north Rra people that the southerners are forgetting the words of Dixie" A recent incident at Nashville, when the citizens engaged in entertaining par fy of Milwaukee and Chicago men were asked to sing the old song, and could not get through with it, has fur nished new topic for southern editors to discuss, says the New York Post. 'sThe Nashville incident" says one pa- per, should make a grand general re- vival for the incomparable song of the south. Let us re1earn Dixie |" S'It is not an 'incomparable song,'" re- torts another journal. 'It is a very poor song, doggerel, in fact. Small wonder that so few people remember, or try to remember, the words. It is the air, the music, which makes Dixie immortal" Mir. John Temple Graves has clearly pointed out the alterna- tives. Either" Dixie" must henceforth be regarded simply as piece of band music, or else all patriotic southerners must add it to their repertoires and practice it on all public and patriotic occasions" Mir. Graves himself holds that 1t is treason to memory and sentiment to permit the song to pass into disuse, or into the cold if ring ing care of instruments.
 Here in the north s'Dixie'' is now simply a piece of instrumental music. Played in the theater or in a medley of patriotic airs there is no song at present excepting America and the "Star-Spangled Banner which arouses greater enthusiasm. This has been true for the last five years, yet the words are almost never sung. When the once sectional song was re- vived in the north, twas solely as band music. Evidently, people do not want the same thing to happen in the south. The enthusiasts write of ''Dixie'' as if its lines were the supreme develop ment of southern poetry. Though it was written in praise of the southern home, this song really belongs in some what the same class with 'EThereU Be Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight g which our soldiers sang with such en- thusiasm in the Spanish war, that the enemy thought it must be national battle hymn. The words in either case have little or no relevancy to a patriot ic occasion. Yet so much of feeling centers about the tune that the words are invested with the magic of asso- citation. Tn just the same way most of the songs which bring back the most tender memories to the college grad uate have nothing whatever to do with college life.

LANNON'S MAY ARGUE
Federal Government Is Ready
 to Use Force.
10 REMOVE THE CRUISER GALVESTON
Tnjunction From Virginia Court May Not Be Allowed to Stop Work on the New War Ship Now Under
 Construction at Richmond.


 WASHINGTON, June 19. - The unique spectacle of the United States presenting an armed force in opposi- ton to the decrees of the state courts of Virginia is lively possibility when the time comes to remove the partially completed cruiser Galveston from the yards Of the bankrupt W. R. Trigg Shipbuilding company at Richmond.
 One thing has been decided-the United States is not going to wait for the slow processes of the courts.
 The ship is scheduled for launching next Monday under the supervision of Captain Charles Train of the navy. Miss Ella Sealey of Galveston is the sponsor. ...
 1t is by no means certain that even the launching will be carried out with out trouble, for Judge Grinnan of the Richmond chancery court has granted an injunction restraining Lieutenants Theiss and Grosbeck, who have been acting under Captain Trains instruc- lions, from proceeding further with the launching
 It is probable that an effort will be made to have this injunction dissolved in time to permit the launching in the James river. That any active force will be needed by the United States at that time is not anticipated. It is when an attempt is made to take the cruiser through the locks to the sea that opposition is expected. It will take six weeks to complete the locks necessary to float the cruiser to free dom, and when they are finished, it is said, gunboat will be stationed in the James river so that it's guns will cover the shipyard.
 Attorney General Knox informed the navy department that it was strictly within it's rights in taking forcible pos session of the vessel and ignoring the rulings of the Virginia state courts.

HNow Bob fs dead''
 All the good things will be said. All the tributes of the crowd Touched with kindly smile and word, Is gently murmured OCT his shroud, And all the good they knew and heard His worthy acts by pity stirred. An open heart with love endowed His stand by friends when death oc-
 cured
 Spoke of his worth and did him proud. As now this friend has fallen still, Men will cease their bitter talk, Cease to hold their motives i'll, Cease to hover like 8 hawk. And not intent on finding fault His charity most surely will Val1antly stand out and cause to balk Cold envious words in accents shrill. There let him lay as in dream, The peaceful dream that has no end; Flowers around his grave be seen, Placed by hands that knew friend, One whom they need not defend, One whose worthy actions seem All the best of traits to blend, Tn that long sleep, that endless dream

DON'T DO IT.

1t seems that Florence Of late is the
unfortunate victim of agents who
make regular visits to the homes, and
take orders for shoes, groceries. cloth
ing. shirts. hats and underwear. both
for gentlemen and ladies' 1t works a
hardship on the merchants who have
to pay rent and taxes to have this un-
der handed dealing and trafiicking in
the merchandise they are expected to
make enough out OF it to pay their
taxes and rents.
1t seems that the city council might
break up this nefarIous practice of
agents by imposing such high license
on them that they could not afford to
take out license.
This house to house canvas by
agents who have no money in the
town is cheating legitimate merchants
out of their just deserts and what they
pay for the privilege of having.
The Tribune has often called atten-
tion to this matter in the hope that
Florence people would patronize
home merchants instead of transient
agents. You usually have to pay an
agent a little more than you have to
pay your home merchant.
If the city authorities are unable
:, stop this, the citizens should be
patriotic enough to pass the agent up.

II BELIEVE, latter studying the matter
over at intervals for years, that the
best thing for the state to do is to have
its convicts build highways, and that
during the next FIVE years it should be-
gin training its long termers to the
art of putting down a macadamized
road SO that it will stay down. Then,
when the men are trained, let them out
to the counties to work. In the mean.
time let each county get stone pile in
connection with its Jail aud begin get
ting material together, so that when
the experts come from Waupun in five
or six years they would have plenty of
stuff to work with, and could build a
road At for farmer to use at any time
Of the year, and thus do great deal
toward cheapening the cost of getting
products of the farm to market. "-Ex.-

MORE LIGHTNING LOSSES.

Big Barns on the Clapp Minor Farm in
Brighton Destroyed by Fire.
Kenosha county was visited by an
other rain and electric storm Thursday
evening, the storm center resting over
the town of Brighton. During the
storm three large barns on the old
Clapp Minor farm in the town were
struck by lightning and completely de-
stroyed. The loss, which will amount
to more than a thousand dollars, was
partially covered by insurance.
The fires occurred between six and
seven O'Clock in the evening, and on
account of the heavy rains and lack of
FIRE protection, it was impossible to do
anything to save the buildings. The
farmers were fortunate enough to re-
move the stock and horses from the
barns, but large amount of hay and
other feed that had been stored away
was burned.
The storm of Thursday evening was
most severe in the Western part of the
county, and many minor losses as well
as considerable damage to the growing
crops are reported.

Carl Swartz Asks the City Council of he
nOsha to Ask for his Pardon
The city clerk has received letter
from Carl Swartz, Kenosha man who
is serving four years term in the
state prison, asking that the city of
Kenosha at once take some steps to
secure his release from prison. Swartz
was sent to the prison charge of
adultery, the complaining witness
being Miss Emma Becker. The case
was one of the most sensational ever
known in Kenosha county. Swartz
now declares that h was hypnotized
at the time he pleaded guilty to the
charge against him, and claims that
he is being punished without cause.
It will be remembered that Swartz and
the Becker girl eloped from Kenosha
and we're found several days later in
one of the cities in the northern part
of the state.
This is the second time that Swartz
has appealed to the city council for aid
but the council has not taken any
action in the matter. Swartz c1aip.s
that if he is released from prison he
will return to Kenosha and support
his wife and children.
