‘Oh, Dixie Land is
Land of Cotton.”
the I Petition for Charter.
Some ladies have undertaken to
revise the words of Dixie; substi
tuting for the well known words,
a highly patriotic style of verse
that they think more suitable. And
it may hep but opinions differ,
An old soldier is quoted as giv
ing his ideas on the proposed
change thus:
“I do not take kindly to the idea
of changing the words of ‘Dixie,’
though heretofore 1 have ever
stood ready to endorse any and
every proposition advanced by the
Daughters of the Confederacy.”
“Sentiment is the dearest treasure
of the human heart,” and while I
know that the good ladies, true to
their instinct, desire to make the
words more beautiful and the
cadence more harmonious, vet I
am afraid they enter upon a hope
less task when they think to trans
fer the sentiment that is associated
with the original to any new ver
sion they may adopt.
At the late reunion at New
Orleans there were many flags of
the Confederacy exhibited—some
beautiful specimens made of silk
that were pleasing to the eye as
woiks of art; and then there were
some others ‘shot torn and smoke
begrimed,’ and these were the
ones around which the old vet
erans gathered with tears in their
eyes and with husky voices told
and retold the story of the battles
fought beneath these colors, and
of the comrades who had died in
their defense. Those other flags
were br ght and clean and pretty,
but these dirty and tattered ones
arc enshrined in the hearts of the
men who felt the shock of battle.”
And this is heart sentiment.
The human heart is the same in
all people; the savage in the jun
gles and the highest type of the
Caucassian yield to its subtle in
fluence, one as readily as the oth
er according to their temperament
and they will so long as the world
shall last. We treasure the broken
toys and kiss the little worn shoes
of our lost baby, not because they
are beautiful in themselves, but
for the sentiment associated with
them. Likewise we cherish the
homely lullaby heard at a mother’s
knee, beside which, in our mind,
no music is so sweet.
The original “Dixie” may be
crude; it may be that it was a mis
take to have centered upon it as
the national song of the South;
there may be some even who look
upon it as doggerel from an art
istic viewpoint, but there clusters
about it the tenderest and sweet
est memories of the South. It
was coincident with the rise and
fall of a nation conceived and nur
tured by the bravest and best peo
ple on earth, who fought, bled and
died to its inspiring strains.
The dear ladies may succeed in
procuring a more polished version,
but all the homage, all the love
and sentiment will continue with
the original.—Macon News.
