Parable of the Married Man.
And it came to pass in those
later days that a certain man who
had a large sons and he lifted
up his voice ana said unto him
“Behold already hast the eaten
more of my bread and meat than
was thine share therefore get the
hence before that thou beist kicked
out. And the young man was
exceedingly sorrowful and he wept
witli great weepings, And he
departed from the sight of his
father,and went afar into a strange
country, and dwelt there, And it
came to pass that he took Selah
unto himself a wife from among
the maidens of that land, and begat
unto himself children, in so much
that three had to sleep in the same
bed. And ihere was not where
with all to feed them and they
cried out aloud and lifted up their
voices and said, “My Father give
unto us grub for we need feed.
And when the father had looked
upon iiis children and saw that
it was even as they had said, he
rent his clothes, and wandered off
into a quite place to kick himself.

Is “Dixie” Dying? Y
From The Atlanta Constitution.
The power of music to move a
people has always been acknowled¬
ged. With every great war there
has been an exciting cadence, to
the notes of which the men would
step more briskly and feel the re-
juvanant power of youth. Such
has the 4 4 Marseillaise 11 to the
Frenchman of the revolution’ the
“Wacht Atn Rhein” to the Ger¬
man of 1871 and “Dixie” to the
hero who followed Lee.
Whether the influence of these
airs is permanent, whether they
live and die or possess the spirit oi
immortality, is a question hard to
determine. If ever there was a
tune which had entered into the
hearts and feelings of a people it
was that of “dixie”to the notes of
which'the weary confederate mar
cher gained inspiration, and the
power of which, crossing hostile
lines, captured a place even among
the adversary. The Times Demo¬
crats, of New Orleans, comes out
with the declaration that the “Dix
ie” to which the fathers trod doe»
not possess the same inspiring in¬
fluence for the sons. “Not since
pacification of the seceded states, j >
say s The Tines-Democrat, “has
there been such a display ot con¬
federate sentiment as was found at
the recent reunion at Memphis. 1 >
Continuing :
And yet “Dixie blasting from
every band, thumped from every
drum, tooted from every horn, was
not the same old “Dixie” which
the veterans knew erstwhile. There
was not the same enthusiasm which
one might heard in yestertime.
when bands hammered out the tune
of the confederacy.
“Dixie” is reall) a national au-
them. It is tLe musical representa-
lion of the old south and the lost
cause. The south today will join
with tlie nation in singing;
“My country, ‘tis of thee,
4 Hweet land of liberty,
Of thee “ui 1 sino 1 -”
Hut ......... there is sun an oiu souiu. ....I,
>* Dixie” is still a fact, a pulsing,
living thing. And while the air
may have waned in popularity, the
the same old seuti ment lives
as it lived yesterday. Ihe old
veterans who have yelled so voct-
forously in the past when the air of
“Dixie” was played may slip * n
' the shadows and the silences, but
Toccoa, Georgia, July 12, 1901.
there are men living—young
stout.lunged fellows—who will in
one way and another cheer the old
air long after the’veterans have
passed fram the scene of earthly
things. “Dixie” dying! Yes,
“Dixie” is dying. But “Dixie’
is not dead.
But there are other views. There
may be moments when the march
has to give way to the hymn, when
the human mind, vvearv of the
rivalry of action, seeks the compos¬
ure of the meditation ; but let the
alarm be sounded, let the occasion
arise and the old notes will regain
their force, and the same response
will come from militant manhood.
We confess to teeling in sympathy
with old Dan Emmet, the author
of the popular “Dixie,” when he
says :
I cannot belie that “Dixie,” my
dear old “Dixie,” is lost. 1 believe
it will survive the present revolu
tion in southern sentiment and
mean again to the south what it
did in days gone by—when it
thrilled the “boys in gray 57 in vic¬
tory and cheered them in defeat.
But if my dear old song is dying,
I hope it will survive myself, its
aged composer, for I am slowly
but surely passing away. 1 hope
that “Dixie” will live in the hearts
Dixie” will stir generations yet
unborn!
Will DuBignon Make the Race?
There has for sometime been
much discussion as to whether or
not Hon. Fleming G. auBignon,
of Savannah, would make the race
for Governor of Georetia next year.
The only point of doubt that seems
to exist on this point has been con¬
cerning his state of health, it being
generally cc iceded that, if he.
should be in sufficient health, he
would make the race. Mr. duBig-
non made an address at Jefferson,
Ga., Thursday, and by many it
was regarded as a test ot his
strength to see whether or not he
would be able to make a campaign.
He spoke twenty-six minutes .and
made a good impression upon the
crowd, but there were according
to reports from those who were
present, considerable signs of phy¬
sical weakness. It may be that
his health will improve between
now and the time for his race for
governor, and those who are closest
to him politically, believe that he
will be in the gubernatorial race,
if he has the physical strength t<>
undertake the campaign,— Athens

The /Tarried Man.
Man married to a woman is of
many days and full of trouble. In
the morning he dravveth his salary
and in the evening behold it is
gone! It is a tale that is told. It
vanisheth, and no one knoweth
whither it goeth. He riseth clothed
in the chill garments of night, and
seeketh the somnambulent pare¬
goric wherewith to soothe his in¬
fant posterity. He cometh forth
as the horse, or ox, and draweth
the chariot of his offspring. He
spendeth his sheckles in the pur
chase of fine linen to cover the
bosom of his family^ yet himself is
seen at the gates of the city with
but one suspender, Yea he is
altogether wretched.—Robert J.

^ The Baltimore Herald makes a
note of the fact that “the Fourth
of July was celebrated in a Geor¬

cotton mill that has 32,000 spindle,
The machinery was stopped after
being run for a few minutes and
then the citizens were entertained
by the officials of the company.”
We submit that this was a very
good way in which to celebrate
Independence Day. It illustrates
the fact that the South is now rap¬
idly becoming independent of oth¬
er sections as consumers of her
raw cotton. •

Wives, Feed Your Husbands.
What goeth into a man defileth.
Never was there a truer truth in
the Bible or elsewhere. Many a
man carries a worn face, and a
dyspepsia racked stomach on ac¬
count of the black ignorance of
some unwashed cook. And many
a man owes his downfall in busi-
nes to some dirty cook. How can
a man succeed when he has to feed
on half cooked, half sobered, sad,
sickening bread, through which are
scattered perchance the shattered
fragments of a belated fly, with a
leg here, and a wing there. What
encouragement has a man to even
live? When the spring has come,
and the spring chicken in all its
untold glory has sojourned in the
land, what is more calculated to
make a man wish it were winter
forever or something else, than
when, with a beautiful appetite, he
sits down at his dinner table, and
at the very first shot out of the box
finds his erstwhile savory spring
bird, half picked, with the ends of
the feathers scorched to a crisp and
the chicken itself cold and clammy
ike a snake’s skin.
What can a man do but groan,
when, with the hope of a good cup
of coffee, he finds before him in the
morning, a bowl of black slushy
stuff, covered over with coffee
grounds and egg shells, through
which he has to dig his way to the
coffee, which when he has sipped
is found to taste more like pot
liquor than anything else, with a
savor perhaps of soap or dish water
in it.
There things are what makes
failures in this world, for without
nourishing food the brain flags, and
the stomache drags, and man be¬
comes like any other ill ted animal,
sick. Wives, see to it that your
husbands are well fed. That is if
you value them, If you don’t just
hire the average negro cook, turn
her loose in the kitchen, and go
order a coffin. You will need it,
maybe several before the summer
is over. \

Civil government is e lished
in the Philipines. [>fit makes at
least two governments at present,
for Governor Taft remarked in his
inaugural address that of the twen¬
ty-seven provinces organized, five
were still in insurrection, which
would cause a continuance of mili¬
tary government there. In connec¬
tion with this, it is well to note
the phrase in which General Mac-
Arthur on the same day transferred
the military authority to General
Chaffee. He said; 4 4 I bequeath
to you all my troubles,” and that
seems to be all he did say.

Hint Robbed of Thirty Thousand

San Francisco, July 4—Concern¬
ing the report that a shortage has
been discovered in the San Fran¬
cisco branch mint The Chronicle
today says: Six bags of gold,
each containing $5,000 in $20
gold pieces have disappeared from
the mint and no trace ot the thief
has been discovered, although
Supt. Leach and his force, assisted
by Director of the Mint Robeits
and his staff of experts have been
at work on the mvstery since
June 29,
The annual count of the coin
amounting to $25,000,000 began
last Friday, On Saturday six
bags were found to be missing
from the cashiers vault and the
books tallied with those of the
other departments the officials
were forced to the conclusion that
some body acquainted with the
inside affairs of the mint had taken
he monay. Director of the Mint
Roberts of Washington D. C.
made the following statement
We have been reluctant to con¬
clude that a shortage exists. We
have fought against the belief that
there is any thing wrong but after
three days work in checking
calculations and going over the
count we have still to face the
situation of $30,000 less in coin
than the books call for. There
appears to be no escape from the
conclusion that some one or more
persons employed in the mint
is faithless to the trusts reposed
in him or them. There is a poss¬
ibility of an over payment to a
depositor. It is improbable however
t* .at so large over payment could
be made. Both Supt. Leach and
Director Diinmick declared that
suspicion could not point to cashier
Cole since his books were in per¬
fect condition and called for the
amount missing.
