No song ever inspired a more mar

IN the early days OF the war it was
layed by every Confederate band.
Il was the funeral march of
iekett's division before they charged
he hill Of death at Gettysburg.
II was the defiant salute that the
'onfederates often sent across the
alley To the Federal soldiers, when
n the dying hours Of the Southern
"epublic they had no other hostage
than life to give to the fortune Of
war.
Dixie will live forever II IS the

which was his way of saying that the
heaviest artillery won battles, but all

Let the briber breed corruption with

Let the money-changers flourish in

Let the sharper tempt the gudgeon

Let the CRATER burst his Golfers with

Let the betrayers fatten in their
