The Toccoa Record $1 Per Year. Vol. XXVIII. 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. Selah. 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 Banner.

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.

It illustrates the fact that the South is now rap¬ idly becoming independent of oth¬ er sections as consumers of her raw cotton. • Heartburn.

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. \ A Superb Grip Cure. X Johnson’s Tonic is a superb N Grip 4 cure. Drives out every trace of Grip Poison from the system. Does it quick.

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. ________ «*-»— er from the general government the federal liquor licence taxes she has been paying for several years has aroused very little interest or sympathy.

Hint Robbed of Thirty Thousand Dollars. 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.
