Suggestion Of Montgomery Miss
That 1t Be Played at Davis In
auguration Made 1t Famous.

Abraham Lincoln called Dixie" the
best song of the war 1t was written
on a rainy Sunday afternoon in New
York City, before. the war, and its
composer though of Virginian and
Maryland descent, was born in Ohio;
nor was he Southern in sympathy, as
was Stephen Foster. and Lincoln's
judgment holds until to-day.
Sporadic newspaper controversies
have appeared as to the authorship
and original wording Of Dixie" but
in the campfire gossip at the last
reunion Of the United Confederate
Veterans, these were get at rest. and
the circumstances of its adoption in
the South made clear.
Jefferson Davis was to be inaugu-
rated as President of the Confederacy,

House in Montgomery, Ala. Herman
Arnold, bandmaster. was designated
to provide the music for the oeca-

his life. he very properly consulted a
pretty girl as to his program.
Unfortunately the name of this girl
has escaped the researches of Mrs.
w. c. Oehmig. the historian, from
whose narrative these facts are quot
ed, but the girl suggested that Dixie, ,
which had recently been sung on the
stage at Montgomery, be played, as
II was a pretty catchy air"

Kapellmeiyter Arnold, accordingly.
scored It for military band. and. as
JEFF trson Davis started from the Ex-

his oath Of office, preceded by the
First Alabama Regiment Arnold's
band. at the head Of the line, played
Dixie"
Daniel Decatur Emmett. author and
composer of Dixie" was born in Mt
Vernon. Ohio, October 20. 1915. and
died there June 2S. 1904. He was one
of the first negro Ministries" In
1895 s, A. Cunningham, editor Of The
Confederate Veteran, visited Emmett,
and obtained a Photographic copy OF
the original words OF the famous
song. This version. and the mora
dignified song written by General
Albert Pike and sung to Emmetts

RUMANiAN TROOPS
OCCUPY slLISTRIA

Bucharest, Rumania, July 11.-Ru
manlan troops today occupied the
Bulgarians city of SilistrIa on the
right bank of the Danube. They we're
not opposed by the Bulgarians.
Sillstria Is a very important point
on the Danube and has been in ex.
istence as a city since the Roman
era. Until the conclusion of the Rus
so.Turkish war in 1876 1t had been
for about 500 years the main bulwark
of the Ottoman empire on its north
ern European frontier.
1t sustained many sieges through
the centuries and always offered a
stout resistance. Even as late as the
Crimean war 1t was able to stand a
bombardment by the Russians, but
after the last Russo Turkish war, the
Turkish troops retired and left 1t in
the hands Of the Bulgarians. 1t has
over 10000 inhabitants, many Of
whom are Mohammedians.
The Rumanian government decided
today to notify the Bulgarian govern
ment that the Rumania army would
cross into Bulgarian territory and al
so that Rumania would take part in
the discussion of the final partition
Of the territories of what was form
erly European Turkey.

CARNEGIE IN
THE BALKANS
Rumania's Declaration Of War May
Force Speedy Action BY
The Powers

London. July 1.-THE Rumanian
declaration Of war on Bulgaria is ex'
pected here to assist in bringing to
an end the carnage in the Balkans by
forcing speedy action on the part of
the powers who have been invited to
intervene.
The object of King Charles of Ru-
mania in assuming the part OF be-
ligerent is to strengthen Rumania's
claims to participate in the ultimate
sharing out OF territory in the Bal
kan peninsula. For the present Ru-
mania, it is thought will probably
content herself with occupying the
strip of Bulgarian territory from Tur-
kukai on the Danube to Baltchik on
the Black sea including the city OF
Silistria. She has coveted this for
a long time and it is believed she will
accomplish her object under the pre-
vailing conditions without Bulgarian
resistance.
Greek troops today occupied Demir-
Hissar, 13 miles northwest of Sores
after brilliant victory over the Bull
gariaus. who had been in possession
since they won 1t from the Turks in
the recent war, according to an Tx
change Telegraph company dispatch

A telegram to the same agency

was to form the eastern end Of the
future frontier line between Bulgaria
and Turkey, is in flames.
