THE ORIGINAL DIXIE LAND.
II Was a Plantation on Long Island
Sound

Sound.
You know perfectly well what Is
meant when Dixie Land is referred
to. You know 1t is away down south
In Dixie" and you have heard a plaus-
ible explanation of the manner in
which the states once thought they
wanted to abandon the Stars and
Stripes got their name. What would
you say IL you should hear somebody
talking about way up north in Dixie"
or way out east in Dixie" or If you
should be told that they used to take a
run out to Dixie land from New York
city long before there were high
power automobiles or even steam
cars? In all human probability you
would feel called upon to offer IA cor
rection, for Dixie has been down south
ever since you can remember. 1t got
its name, in some curious way, from
Mason and Dixon's line. which was
made to run through "Mssouri's great
toe" with the provision that all the
states lying entirely north of that line
must be free states.
And now along comes an ancient
chronicle with the startling informa-
tion that the original Dixie's land was
great plantation on Long island, in
the days when II never occurred to
anyone in the north to object to slav-
cry. Old man Dixie was SO humane
and kindly that when his slaves in
creased to the point where he was
forced to sell off a great many OF
them. they went into other parts of
the United States and looked back
with yearning on the land of abundant
food and easy labor. In time the idea
of "Dixie's Land was carried to other
plantations which had been left. and
ultimately. because most of these re-
GREETED plantations were in the south,
that section came to be known as
Dixie. ."-Globe-D Democrat.
