1T WAS SUMMER TIME IN DIXIE LAND" ."

Very few people have any idea Of the
vast amount Of money there is to. be
made and lost in the Music Publishing
Business. At times from $40, 900 to $40,
will be lost by single publisher in
trying to make a winner. Then a
gain lucky publisher will make big
fortune on his first effort. The biggest
Song Hit" and the best money maker
in this country at the present time is a
song called 1t Was Summertime In
Dixie Land" written by, Edward Ken
dali. This sung is now being sung
nightly with great success, in all the
principal theaters from Maine to Cali
fornia. There were nearly 3OO,O cop
les Of this song sold in less than thirty
day from the date of issue, and present
predictions are that over one million
copies will be sold inside of year 1t
has been calculated by good judges that
the publishers will make a net profit Of
over SsO,COO on this one song above all
expenses.

TUE GUSTS FAMILY BIBLE.-A dis
patch from Philadelphia says: Martha
Washington's Bible, which had been IN
the Gusts family for generations aud
which was lost by the family OF Gen.
Robert Z. Lee 43 years ago, is now the
subject of a dispute which may be car
ried into the court for settlement. The
present owner, who is George w. Ken
drick. ir., of Philadelphia, vice presi-
dent of the Union Security and Guaranty
Company, refuses to turn it over to the
Lees and does not recognize their claim
to it. An attorney has been consulted
nv a member of the family with view
to finding out whether legal proceedings
can be Instituted. Mr.. Kendrick in
speaking of the matter, said "While
| have had the Bible for over 20 years,
| am perfectly willing to give II either
to the ladies of the Mount Vernon So
cjety or to the Smithsonian Institution,
at Washington. Such arctic as this should
be placed where the public can see it.
| do not admit that Genera! Gusts Lee
is entitled to it more than any other
descendant of Martha Washington, and
hence am unwilling to turn 1t over to
him" Mr.. Kendick said that he
bought the Bible % years ago from
man named Stein, who is now dead.

PRIMARY ELECTION BILL.

Mr.. Machen, of Alexandria, intro
duced in the Senate OH Tuesday Ill
to provide for primary elections, which
is the most radical of all similar measures
hitherto offered. 1t practically takes
the primary out of control OF the polltl-
cal parties and places it under control
and supervision of the court. The cleo
ton Judges and clerks are to be sp-
pointed by the judge of the Circuit or
Corporation Court, according to juris-
diction, and in case of contest, appeal
NAV lie in such court, and a recount had
in the presence Of the court, after which
the Judge shall have recorded IN the
common law order book the facts enter
teined by him and shall direct the clerk
Of his court to send a certified copy OF
s1ch finding to the chairman of the com
mittee or body having such primary IN
charge.
The bill possesses many excellent
features, but we are not at all sure that
the masse. are ready for it, Friends OF
the primary plan must keep in view this
all important fact The bill does not
make the primary system compulsory,
and should not do 50. Ifit should become
law it would be entirely optional
with the political parties whether or not
thev would hold a primary. Therefore,
| if the law is too radical it may defeat
its own end.
The bill should be thoroughly dis
cu.sed, and the opinion OF party leader'
throughout the State should be obtained
before it is enacted. - Richmond Times
Dispatch.
