The Origin of "Stale.’
There have been many accounts
a» to the origin of “Dixie. ” Theons
most commonly accepted is that it
grew note by note of ita own voli
tion, and that Emmett limply pul
on paper something that already ex
iated.
The truth is that Emmett had the
single line “I wish I was in Dixie"
to start with. Now, oddly enough,
“Dixie" or ‘.‘Dixie land” originally
referred to an estate on Manhattan
Island, owned by a man of the
name of Dixy early in the last cen-
tnry. Dixy was an extensive slave
bolder until the spread of the anti-
slavery sentiment in the north and
the constantly increasing risk that
attended the ownership of this kind
of property forced him either to sell
or remove his slaves south, and
from these slaves or their descend,
ants came the expression “Dixie
land," signifying their attachment
ter their old home and master.
The phrase passed into the cur
rent speech of the people, gradually
losing all local reference
But a chance allnsion by John
Randolph to Mason and Dixon’s line, j
in a speech delivered by him in 1820, 1
revived the memory of that now fa- J
mous survey, and in some way :
“Dixie".—doubtless from its simi
larity to Dixon—was given a plaoe
in the south, for when Emmett first
heard the expression as a young man
it was from the lips of circus men,
who when canght by a spell of un
seasonable weather in the north
were wont to wish they were fa
“Dixie land."—Recreation.
In -England 233 families live fa
houses which pay more than $5,000
a year rent, while 3,625,000 pay leas
than $100 a year for their houses.
