Atlanta Constitution.
An anniversary edition of the
Raleigh News and Observer, one OF
the oldest papers in the Old North
State, is now attracting attention gen
orally WheVer it is seen. The paper
has passed it's half century mark and
is now under the management of
Josephus Daniels. that brilliant Caro-
linian. The anniversary edition is
simply a complete history of the old
paper from it's first issue UP to the
present time. 1t is handsomely illus
trated, carrying on it's pages portraits
of men who are we'll known to read
ers of daily papers throughout the
South in years gone by. 1t is pub
LEGATION of many pages and is much
admired by natives Of the old Tar
Heel State who have seen it. y
Its a great trade, or | might say,
special edition. the Raleigh. n. c.,
News and Observer has just issued,
remarked an old Tarheel at the Kim
ball yesterday afternoon. 1.-The pa
per is made up of twenty-fOur pages
and is profusely illustrated. carrying
presentations of the men who founded
it fifty-five years ago. Along with
the faces of these old time editors are
reproduced editorials and articles de-
scriptive of events in those days of a
half century ago. Then coming along
with the years intervening are given
the faces of men of whom are alive
today, some yet in journalism, some
out of it. Accompanying these por-
traits are stories written by the men
when they were actively engaged on
the Raleigh paper / recall one by
W. f. Christian. now of Atlanta. who
is well known locally by his connec-
ton with the Seaboard Air line road.

native of that great old State. The

NEW WORDS FOR DIXIE.

II is safe to say that the words of
as the men live who were inspired in
battle by the tune Dixie" Collier S
Weekly proposes Dixie as national
air. The South will be glad for it to
be generally used but will never con-
sent that it be other than the Song OF
the South. Nobody regards the words
as having any special merit except
the merit of tender devotion to the
South. and whenever sung it brings
happy memories of the kindly rela-
tions between the races in the South.
Many persons have suggested new
words for Dixie" but of those so far
suggested the following have been re-
ceived with more commentator than
any other:
oh Dixie, our dear land O. cotton,
Thy sunny skies are unforgotten;
Away, far away, far away, from
Dixie Land,
Where e'er we go, whate'er befalls us
We are ready when the duty calls us,
To live, to fight, to die for Dixie Land.
oh, / wish / were in Dixie, far away,
far away:
With Dixie Land ! take my stand,
TIC live, and die, for Dixie.
Away, away, away down South in
Dixie.
We smell the orange blossoms blow
ing,
We see the roses, blood-red, glowing,
Away, far away, far away in Dixie
Land.
All! there the skies are brighter
bluer :.
And there the hearts are warmer
truer,
Than we e'er find away from Dixie
Land
We hear the enemy's cannon rattle,
We see the signs of coming battle

Land.

But it soon became evident that con-
siderable cotton had been bought on
the theory of higher prices after
election and this came out on the slight
opening bulge. while ii also appeared
that leading Wall Street bear inter-
ests were hammering the market.
Trading at first was fairly active. but

Prices touched the highest point on

were more or less irregular. the close

enough covering by room shorts In
the last few minutes to give the mar

off with the local market and sent

over the meeting which was we'll at
tended
The question discussed by the club
was: The Character of Labor in the
southern Cotton Mills as compared
with that of the New England and
English cotton mills.
The question was so broad and con-
tanned SO many points of comparison
that in the short period of one hour
the club could not dispense Of it sat
isfactorllN, but retained a part for dis
cussion at the following meeting:
1t was agreed by investigation and
discussion that cotton mill labor i'm the
South could be clothed cheaper, that
food was considerably cheaper fuel
for laborers cheaper in the South,
and the price paid for cotton mill
labor is cheaper in the South than
elsewhere This brings us to the con-
clusion that cotton can be manufac-
tured cheaper in the Southern States
than any place now manufacturing
cotton.
