The regular monthly meeting of
the county teachers was held in
the third Ward building Saturday
with full attendance of all rural
teachers. Prof. Prentiss, county
School superintendent has planned
to make these meetings of practical
value to the teacher as we'll as to

entire morning session was taken
up with practical instructions to
the teachers ''how to teach" agri-
culture and domestic science; daily
helps to every day people, The
teachers manifested more than
usual interest in these instructions
and it is evident that the Ben Hill

among the best in the State.

Whiskey Kills Man
In Waycross

Waycross, Ca, November q
From an attack of acute indi-
gestion, brought on, it is beIiev-
ed, by continued drinking, a
white man supposed to be ]. B
Buckner, of Tippecanoe City,
Ohio, died here today, shortly af-
ter reaching Waycross from Biz
mingham. Between Mcdonald
and Wildwood, on the Seminole
Limited, the man was begging
fellow travellers for whishey, and
it's propable that the whiskey he
was drinking when death came
was secured in WaYcross.
A ticket from Birmingham to
Lave YAK, Fla'' was found or
him, with a small amount Of
cash.
Apparently the man was so
years old and a printer. Fear
ing that he had been killed by
paisoning, Judge Harry M. Will
on ordered an inquest. Buck
ner was stricken in a restaurant.
His body is being held pending
advices from mepe'rers of his
family.

Hon. Seaborn Wright, one time
candidate for Governor on the
Peoples Party ticket, will speak
here Nov. goth. on the Prohibi-
ton question. Mr.. Wright is one
of the foremost advocates of the
Prohibition movement and a
great orator. The people of Ben
Hill County and the surrounding
country will no doubt turn out in
great numbers to hear what he
will have to say. In his home
county, Mr.. Wright has succeed
ed to abolish the sale Of whiskey

in demand all over the State.
Mr.. Wright's former platform
was the control of the liquor traf-
fic through dispensaries, he is
now fighting for the total abcl-
ishing Of the business.

Dixie" the Song of the Southland
Its Author and Its History
By Rebecca X. LaughHn

blue calico coat with exaggerated swallowtails.
1t was not until some years later that the regu-
laton evening dress was adopted as costume
most suitable to the mock dignity of minstresy.
Emmett's troupe showed successfully in var-
American cities, but when it adventured
tour of England it promptly stranded Its
ganizer returned to New York. found that his
idea had been utilized by others, and eventually
joined Bryant's Mnstrels. From that time on
and until he returned to Mt. Vernon, his occupa-
ton was Negro minstrelsy. His retirement was
due to his age and to the fact that changes in
the style of minstrel performance had made him
a back number" AS composer of Dixie" he
had long since been forgotten. He actually had
been overshadowed by its popularity.
Dixe's adoption the war song of the South
originated in the excitement it caused when sung
on the stage of New Orleans Varieties Theatre,
in the spring of 1861, when Mrs John Wood was
appearing there in "Pocahontas" A feature of
the performance a Zouave march which
introduced into the last scene. A catchy tune
was wanted for this, and Carlo Patti, the leader
of the orchestra, after trying several pieces,
decided on Dixie" He little knew what that
decision would for the song. When the
Zouaves marched the first night, led by Miss
Susan Denim singing Dixie" the audience went
wild and demanded seven From New
the Washington Artillery had the tune arranged
for quckstep and the whole section of the
country rang with it. Pickett ordered it played
before his famous charge at Gettysburg. Thus
the anomaly was presented of song written and
composed by man who was born in the North,
and who a matter of fact sympathized with
the North becoming the song of the South.
General Albert Pike and others wrote additional
verses and these form the only foundation for
the claim sometimes advanced that Emmett was
not the author and composer of Dixie" whereas
his name has appeared on the copyrighted title
page of the song even since its earliest publca-
ton.
General Pixies words to Dixie" first appeared
in the "Natchez Courier" April 80, 1861. Here
are some of the characteristic stanzas
Southrons, hear your country call you!
Up, lest worse than death befa you!
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
Lo! all the beacon fires are lighted.
Let all hearts be now united!
To arms! To arms! To arms in Dixie!
Advance the flag of Dixie! Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Dxe's Land we take our stand, and live
and die for Dixie!
To arms! To arms And conquer peace for Dixie!
To arms! To arms And conquer peace for Dixie!
Hear the Northern thunders mutter
Northern flags in South winds futter
To arms, ETC.
Send them back your fierce defiance!
Stamp upon the accursed alliance!
To arms, ETC.
