[Charlotte Chronicle.] In discussing and indorsing the movement to erect a monument to the memory of Daniel Decatur Emmett, the author of “Dixie,” The Indianapo- lies News takes occasion to pay eloqu ent tribute to the simple, soul-stirring song which in one of the greatest wars the world has ever known, was the an them which in spite of conquest, and the flight of years grows more popular with the American people as time goes on. The News says; “No other song has ever touched the hearts of all of the people of this land as ‘Dixie’ touches them. During the war ‘John Brown’s Body’ sweept the heart-strings of the Northland , and their brave ‘Boys in Blue.’ But the war has passed and the song is pass ing, is already much of a memory. But ‘Dixie’ is more vibrant with life today than it wiHfcwhen it cheered the lean and hungry legions that were battling for the ‘lost cause.’ It has not only survived the war, but since then it has conquered the conquerors and echoes in the hearts of those that loved the gray. There was a local illustration in a recent concert here by the Scot tish Highland Band. When it played the ‘Star Spangle Banner’ there was an ovation. But when it played ‘Dixie’ there was a furor. Where there had been cheers and applause there were yells and smiles and pounding of ta bles. “It is a curious thing. Manifestly it is not in the recollection of the quality that endeared ‘Dixie’ to the Southern soldier and made it the war song of the Confederacy, for it is loved in peace as much as it was in war, if not more so, and by those that won as by those who lost. It has the magic of the Mar seillaise in it. But it is without its clairion call that excites the red blood of strife. It is gay, sweet, serene, in defatigable. It calls like the shrill of the bagpipe with the music of the gol den horn. It soothes and strengthens while it rouses, giving a body of mem ory to the spirit of exaltation. It may not be great music but it has the quali ty of all that counts in this world— survival—and it is one of those bal lads of a nation that the very wise man reckoned as more powerful than laws.” Commenting upon this, The New Or leans States says: “Yes, ‘Dixie’ is song that was not born to die. It will live as long as the Anglo-Saxon race exists in America. It has inspired the Southern soldier in the fury of battle and cheered and renewed the courage of his people in those dark years of oppression, humiliation and bitter poverty which were endured with such magnificent fortitude and heroism as the world had never seen.’ And, by the way, where • did The States get the verses with which it closed its article? They follow: • ‘Don’t you know it. Dear old ‘Dixie!’ Let the grand old cadence swell. And there’s not a Southerner living but would scale the walls of hell! And would wake the deeps infernal with the ringing Rebel yell! "Dear old ’Dixie!’ Play it softly; play it softly and way down low, And there’s something in its sweet ness wakes the scenes of long ago. And old comrades, march beside us in the ways we used to know.” “Dear old ‘Dixie,’ blare it proudly and you’ll hear the Southern’s cheers, from | Dear old ‘Dixie,’ play it softly o’er the HER PHYSICIANS DESPAIRED. ADVISED CHANGE OF CLIMATE^ Pe-ru-na, Used as a Last Resort, Cured Her of a Severe Attack of Catarrh of the Lungs. Dsasc MRS. IDA CALDWELL The Sensational Cure of Mrs. Caldwell Is the Talk of Her Acquaintances. Mrs, Ida Caldwell, 606 Pearl street, Sioux City, la., Vice-President Order of Washington, writes: “I suffered with qatarrh of the res piratory organs off and on for the last three years until I thought it was chronic. My chest and Inngs were ir ritated and I had to use the greatest care not to expose myself to chilly air or dampness as it increased my troubles. “My physician advised me to try a change of climate, but / was unable to leave my family. Reading of the won derful cures performed by Peruna, I bought a bottle. ••It was with the greatest satisfaction that I found It the one medicine among them all which cured me. I was re lieved within three days and after two months and a half the irritation was gone, my lungs perfectly healed and my health restored.”—Ida Caldwell, Thousands of women owe their lives to Perana. Hundreds of thousands owe their health to Peruna. Hundreds of thousands are praising Perunk in every state of the Union.

ARRESTED FOR COUNTERFEITING Popular Young Business Man Bound Over to Federal Court. [Charlotte Observer.] A pathetic incident was the arrest at Orangeburg, of Edwin Oliver, a young broker of that town, who is charged by the Federal authorities with coun terfeiting. He had his preliminary trial before a United States commis sioner and was bound over to the Fe deral Court, which meets in Charles ton in June. He gave the $500 bond and is out of custody. Oliver is a young man of good fam ily, who was looked upon by the peo ple of his town as having a bright fu ture in the business world. He was married only three months ago to a beautiful girl. He had for several years, the secret service men think, been making 25 and 50-cent and $1 counterfeit pieces. threei . 4 . .. . „ , — - , green mounds of the years, come to town, an-i if you arc here cull on j.,,,,,! t« n int housr and out buildings, i >pjji tj ie hearts are filled with rapture him and you will see that Madness ia tell- Thirty acres good bottom laud ing von the truth about his big stock of ln he three tracts.

Ben Tillman’s Gentle Side. It is interesting to note how differ ent many public men are from the popular impression of them which ex ists. The public picks out one char acteristic and makes a figure of that one, not considering the many other points in man’s make-up There is Sen. Tillman, perhaps as flerce-looking a man as ever shook finger across the aisles of the senate chamber, whose rasping voice and biting sarcasms are as cutting as the winter winds. To many people this man seems acid to a degree on first acquaintance, yet when I tell you that few men are pos sessed of a more kindly and sweet dis position, you will be listening to the plain truth. Would you ever think that this man, who won his epau lets in a war of bitter words, is pas sionately fond of flowers, and that every moment he can snatch from his duties is given to the care and nur ture of plants of various kinds? Would you believe that this man, in the very thickest of the bitter life struggle today, yet regards the flow ers thqt grow for him beneath the sun ny skies of Carolina as his dearest treasures and the greatest luxury of his life? Ben Tillman maw lie a crank. He may have peculiar ideas regarding the race problem, hut no body who has watched him tenderly touching the petals of a carnation or caressing the leaves of a rose bush still steeped in the morning dew, will fail to appreciate the revelation of a nature, which, once seen, conveys a more accurate idea of tho man’s char acter than could possibly he gained in any other way. Senator Tillman has also a humor ous side to his mind, as the story he tells about the silk hat he got to make Washington calls in will show. He was not happy in that hat. He said ho did not know what to do with it nor how to handle it. When he got through tho calls, he came out and walked up and down the street, per haps in an endeavor to get accustom ed to the unusual head covering. He said he never felt so foolish in his life and imagined that everybody was looking at him. He had a yearning to go home and get hold of his slouch hat once more. Since that time, how ever, he has acquired the art of wear ing a silk hat, and does it as gracefully as any man.—Joe Mitchell Chappie in National Magazine for December. What la “Eg Nog?” Try it. Jim’s Sweetheart. [Exchange.] Mother put on her Sunday best, Her lilac wedding gown, And white straw bonnet neatly tied With strings of faded brown; We w'oke before the roosters crowed And started in the dew To see the boat race, for our Jim Was captain of the crew. We did not want to shame our boy And so kept out of sight Behind a row of waving flags And fluttering kerchiefs white; But when the slender sculls swept by The rival crew abreast. We both forgot our shabby clothes And shouted with the rest. You see, six olive branches came To bless our happy love— Five slumber in the churchyard green With little stones above; But one was left in mother’s arms— Stern death was kind to him, The youngest of our tiny flock, The sturdy baby, Jim. He took it in his curly head To want a college course; I parted with the pasture lot And sold the sorrel horse; We sent him every dollar saved. And made a seedy pair In garments that had long outlived Their days of useful wear. The surging throng closed up in front, We could not see our son, But soon a mighty cheer went up And told us J^D had won. The crowd took up the college yell And sent it to the skies, And college colors everywhere Shook out their brilliant dyes. He stepped ashore, looked up and saw His mother’s wrinkled face, And hurried to her through the ranks Of broadcloth, silk and lace. He never gave a single glance Toward the pretty girls. But kissed her on the withered lips, And kissed her silver curls. His sunburnt face was glorified With proud and happy smiles; He did not mind because her hat Wtfs years behind the styles, ] But led her out before the styles, A figure quaint and prim.
