THE BODY AND SOUL OF DIXIE"
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nyo.

THE BODY AND SOUL OF Dixie"
The women of the Confederate
Choir of America have made a mis-
take in trying to At new words to
Dixie"
They say the words are Awkward"
Maybe. But
The words of the old thrilling song
are forever welded to the tune. The
marriage Is complete. What tradition
and reverent memory have Joined let
not man or woman put asunder.
The enforcement Of words and music
that have lived long together ought to
be forbidden.
With the best intention doubtless the
historic, homely words about selma.
mon seed and sandy bottom" have
been changed by these women, who
have substituted the lines:
Oh, Dixie land Is tho land of glory,
The lane OF cherished song and story!
The substituted words are good
enough In their way, but It is safe to
declare they Will never permanently
be fitted to the old tune. They lack the
native favor Of the old words.
There IL a lot of "go'' In the old
words as there Is In the old music of
"Dixie."
The song Is almost as popular In the
north as In the south. II you want to
wake up any listless audience any
where In America, start the orchestra
to playing Dixie" No other song will
bring men and women to their feet
with beating hearts and flushed faces
like the old song.
Let "Dlxie" alone.
Lips that are long since dust have
shouted those Awkward" words. They
are embalmed in sacred recollections.
To change them would amount to an
insult to the dead.
This itch to change the words Of our
national songs breaks out every 30
often. Not long ago m attempt was
made to substitute new words for
"The Star Spangled Banner" 1t failed,
and deserved to fail, because the old
words of the song are fighting words,
the words that famed up hot and pa
trlotic from the swelling heart OF
Francis Scott Key.
TO change the verses Of any great
national song Is to do violence to his
toric sentiment.
The choppy, ~staccato syllables Of the
"MarseIllaise," dashed Off In the fervor
Of revolution, forever belong to the
wild, weird music. The stanzas that
go with the slow cadences Of "The
Watch on the Rhine will ever be dear
to every lover of the fatherland.
Let Dixie" alone. Because
You cannot change its body without
harming its immortal soul.

REV. NAPLES SERMON
At the Christian CHURCH on Sunday
morning Rev. Frank Naples deliver
ed the memorial sermon which has re-
ceiyed many compliments. He spoke
in part as follows:
In the evolution of the e history
has eyer repeated itself and heroes
have arisen to free the downtrodden
and lift the heel of tyranny from the
neck of the oppressed. When the peo-
pie OF the Exodus were delivered they,
like ourselves, set aside a day as a
memorial upon which to commemorate
the great event. And their great COM
mander said: This day shall be unto
you for a memorial; We shall keep it a
feast to the Lord throughout your gen.
Grafton; We shall keep it a feast by an
ordinance forever" Let us Danish the
thought that we, like those people,
could ever forget the price in blood
our fathers paid at freedoms call to
hand down to us q name unblemished
before the world. Down through the
ages | might cite you to nations such
as the Spartans, the Tyrollese and
the Swiss, all of whom loved liberty
dearer than life. In the dawn of his
tory in this country, there came two
classes. The one believing in state
rights and slavery settled inthe south;
the other demanding free thought and
free action made their homes in the
north, built factories, established col
leges and organized public schools.
From the first there was difference OF
opinion. In 1880 they collided iu the
debate between Hayne and Webster,
when the latter g From iniquity strip
ped the splendid garb OF chivalry and
shattered the fallacies of State rights"
Then freedoms shoutrang loud round
the world. Then the solemn vow of the
north went upto Heaven thatthe Union
should be preserved. To do this there
was marshalled into the field thirty
years later hegrandest army the world
has W known. Having pictured many
scenes on the battlefield and in the
home the speaker went on to exhori
that our memorial day should be kept
sacred and that our children be taught
the principles Of self government and
liberty which army fought to main
tain. He concluded by saying "Hold
fast to that which thou hast that nc
man take thy crown from thee" Take
the Bible and Constitution as guides
and then Webster's prophecy shall bt
realized lone country, one constitu'
ton, M destiny forever"
