Among other marching songs
mentioned by Mrs. Elliott were
General Lee’s Grand March and
“Maryland, My Maryland.”
Among the ballads was
“Somebody’s Darling”, prob
ably the most oopular one. It
is inexpressibly sad, and al
though not such as is usually
a war song, brought solace to
many a Confederate soldier.
“Lorena“, another lovely
ballad of the era. was publish
ed in 1857 in Chicago. The
original story is romantic and
was written by Rev. H. D. L.
Webster with music by J. P.
Webster. It became so popular
in the South when the war be
gan that it was virtually a
Confederate song.

the war on both sides. Among
the favorites were “Lead
Kindly Light” and “Jesus
Lover of My Soul”.
The program was concluded
with a review of the life and
music of Stephen Foster and
the singing of “Beautiful

Price, accompanied by Miss
Judy Farb at the piano. The
chapter aporeciated having
these two students of Miss
Hitt, and enjoyed the select
ions rendered by them, which
included “Somebody’s Darling”
and “Lorena.”
After the reading of the
minutes, other reports were
heard and necessary business
transacted.
Mrs. Elliott began her talk
by referring to the fact that
music is as old as the world
itself and is in all things, a
universal language. In illus
trating her point, she read
“Music Intimacies”, written
by herself. She went on to
speak of the great Jove of
music in the South.
Dixie, which became known
as the Song of The South, and
other music of the Confederacy
was an outgrowth of the cul
ture of those from other lands
who settled in the South, and
their descendants. It is quite
different from folk songs
which originate with the com
mon people. Dixie reveals the
living spirit of the South and
will never lose its popularity

Accidents show
similarity on
interstates
A study of 693 traffic acci
dents which occurred on Inter
state Highway 1-26 and 1-85
during 1966 reveals a surpris
ing similarity in pattern, the
State Highway Department re
ported today.
For the 12-month period
there were 12 fatal accidents
on each route. Adding to the
coincidence is the fact there
were 32 personal injury acci
dents on each route. Property
damage accidents varied by
only 31, with 287 such acci
dents on 1-85 and 318 on 1-26.
Accidents on 1-26 totaled 362.
There were 331 on 1-85.
Highway patrolmen made
7,624 arrests for traffic viola
tions on 1-85 and 8,199 on 1-26.
Investigations showed that
excessive speeds headed the
list of violations by an over
whelming margin, with 6,823
cases involving excessive speed
on 1-85 and 7,365 accidents
with speeding a primary con
tributing factor on 1-26. There
were 180 accidents on each
route attributed to high speed.
