as at all public gatherings where singing forms
a part of the program"
The song is as follows:
Land of my birth, bright sun-kissed land,
Florida, my Florida.
Laved by the gulf and ocean grand
Florida, my Florida.
OF all the states in east west,
Unto my heart thou art the best;
Here may l live, here may l rest,
Florida, my Florida.
In country, town, on hills and dels,
Florida, my Florida.
The rhythmic chimes of thy school bells,
Florida, my Florida.
Will call thy children day by day
To learn to walk the patriots way
Firmly to stand for thee for aye,
Florida, my Florida.
Thy golden fruit the world outshines,
Florida, my Florida.
Thy gardens and thy phosphate mines,
Florida, nay Florida. g
Yield their rich store of good supply,
To still the voice OF hunger's cry
For thee Well live for thee we'll die,
Florida, my Florida.
TIL oppressor's rod can't rest on thee'
Florida, my Florida.
Thy and daughters free must be-
Florida, my Florida.
From north and south, from east and west
From freezing blasts they come for rest,
And find in thee their earnest quest,
Florida, my Florida.
When ills betide and woes o'ertake,
Florida my Florida.
Thy sons and daughters quick will make
Florida, my Florida.
The sacrifice of loves and life
To save from woe, from ills and strife,
To fell thy foes in danger rife
Florida, my Florida.
Compare Prof. Waugh's verses with the words
of Home, Sweet Home" and Dixie" and it will
be found that the lawmakers of 1913 approved
a mighty good song, both words and music 1t is
the spirit of thing after all; what should take
firmer hold on our hearts than FLORIDA, my Flor
ida?" and the air of Maryland, my Maryland"
is most tuneful and inspiring.
Singular to record another Florida poet, W. G.
Baugh, whose name rhymes with that of the
author of the official song, wrote the following to
be sung to the tune. A comparison in
merit is invited
o, lovely land of sunny skies,
Florida my Florida
My praise of thee shall ever rise,
Florida, my Florida.
No wintry storms eer rule DER thee
q Thou land that lies twixt gulf and sea.
Forever famed by breezes free,
Florida, my Florida.
thouSand lakes reflect thV skies.
Florida, my Florida.
Here many a fairy prospect lies,
Florida. my Florida.
Thy groves a perfume filings the breeze
Thy flowers yield the giant trees,
Thy shores are washed by many seas
Florida my Florida. .
Twas thou the Spaniard tried to tame,
Florida, my Florida.
And gave to thee thy lovely name.
Florida. my Florida.
But not for him thy welded hand,
Thou farest of Columba's band,
Beneath the starry flag we stand,
Florida my Florida
Some boast the joys of winter time,
FloEida, my Florida.
Or seek the rugged mountain cline,
Florida my Florida
But 'mong the woods and orange groves,
Rich fields beneath blue skies above,
Here would | ever live and love,
Florida my Florida
1t was Charles Lamb who said that songs with
meaning and spirit are vocal portraits of the
national mind, and Longfellow said:
I
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer"

YOU ALL. AGAIN

Answering an inquiry from Portsmouth, Va,
the Literary Digest for June Is discusses the use
of the expression you all and says it is correct
in the sense it is ordinarily used in the south.
This is refreshing, because certain class of
northern writers never tire of attaching this term
to reports of conversation in the SOUTH and almost
invariably in a way which shows that they do not
understand its use themselves but certainly there
can be no real dispute over the grammatical &C
curacy CT the phrase.
1t means just exactly what it says, and though
the Digest writer says it is sometimes used by
some people-many thoughtless people-in the
south in the singular, the Telegram can produce
witnesses who have lived fifty years in the south
and have never heard the expression used except
when it meant to include more than one person.
Shakespeare used it freely The Literary Di-
gest quotes the following Il you all bent to
set against me your merriment' You all did
see that on the Lupercal, etc =" you all did love
him once, not without cause. You all do know
this mantle"
The truth is, the so-called southern dialect is,
in the main, the purest English used in the United
States 1t is we'll worthy of study, not for the
idosyncrasies of the southern people, but for its
examples Of the language in its original idiomatic
strength and rugged accuracy

ton No "a of that session. called attention to the
popularity of song entitled FLORIDA, My Flor
ida" written by DR.. c. V. Waugh formerly pro-
lessor of languages in the old Florida Agricul-
tural College at Lake City, and as said song had
metrcal and patriotic merit, it
Resolved, that this song Florida, My Flor
ida be and is hereby declared by the legislature
Of Florida to be the state song, to be sung 10
the tune of Maryland, My Maryland, and that it
is recommended for use in the daily exercises Of
the public schools of the state of Florida well
as at all public gatherings where singing forms
a part of the program"
The song is as follows

Press reports say that the North Atlantic is now
infested with pirates The times are certainly fav-
orable for piracy and the facilities for that form
of endeavor are infinitely superior to those which
Captain Kidd and Gasparila enjoyed. But why
locate in the frozen north when the southern seas
still wide open, and their traditions are all
favorable to the skull and cross-bones craft?

Some epigramatist has declared that every man
for whom the world builds monument after his
death would have been hung if he could have been
caught by the right parties in his lifetime. This
may be true, but it doesn't work the other way
around Lots of people have been hung who will
not deserve monument in thousand years

A moving picture with moral has been built
around the proposition that the wild goose never

a general proposition it will hardly do to go to the
feathered tribe for instruction in the morals Of
matrimony.
