DIXIE on circumstance of the holiday that must not be overlooked. Is the ranking of "Dixie." by the chief of music of the library of congress, aa the most popular of all the patriotic air. H places It above "Yankee Doodle." "Btar Hpangled Banner," "America." and "Hall. Columbia." It ems that thlse chief of music, O. O. T. Honneck. has devoted a large vol ume to the consideration of the pop. ulnrlty of these various songs, has traced their origin end their evolution and fixed, wherever possible, the date on which they are knowu to have been sung for h first time. Fac similes of the- original manuscripts are appended. Mr. 8onneck finds from hi researches, aa a curious and interesting; fact about the old war song of the Confederacy, that It was written by a strolling player, one of the old-time minstrel performer, who had no thought when he penned the stirring notes of that famoua song that It would later be heard on the field of battle. This man, , Daniel De catur Emmett, died in the summer of 1904 in a little hut on the outskirts of hs native town of Mount Vernon, ()., where he had passed the last years of hi life In poverty and ob scurity. The song was written In 1857 while Emmett was a member of the famous Prvant's minstrel, and It wa thrown off to fill a gap In the performance. : We are not so sure that i Mr. Sonneck has his facts straight. Thla tory which he accept we have heard before and have heard in controverted. However, there la no doubt about one thing Sonneck ia right when he officially pronounce Dixio" the greatest aong In the world. Charlotte Chronicle. HAS HOT LOOKED AT BUMPERS It Has Been More Than Month Since the Governor Considered This Case. The Gazette-News Bureau, Chamber of Commerce Room, Hollemon Building. Halelgh. N. C. Dec. 28. The number of Inmates of the Sol diers' home here Is now 144. and State Auditor Dixon, the chairman of the board of governors, says the institu tion is full. Nearly 20 veteran hnve died there during the year. It must lie remembered that a great many of those who enter the home are very old and feeble, and In some cases live only a few months after entrance. Dr. Hankln. the secretary of the stato board of health, says that re porta to him ahow smallpox to be more or leas prevalent In about half the counties of the state. Wilson has had over 300 cases, but the authorities there now have the situation under control. It ought to be remembered that the commissioners of a county nre responsible for the work of checking and stamping out smallpox and this duty does not devolve solely upon the medical authorities, that Is the county superintendent of heulth and persons he may have aiding him.

The governor also honors the requi sltion of the governor of Tennessee for I. C. Farrntt, who Is In Jail at Ashevllle. and' who Is an escaped con vict, having been convicted of felon ious assault. In some way a report got into some newspapers thst Gov. Kitchin was on the point of pardoning Wiley P. Black of Ashevllle, who was convicted ol keeping a disorderly place. As matter of fact tho governor ha not even looked at the papers in thla case since the application of pardon war argued before him, more than a month ngo.

The survey for this road has been mnde. the length be ing li miles, and the line not pre senting any special difficulties. Grad Ing will begin this week. Applies tlnn was made to the penitentiary au thor'.llea for 7& convicts, to do th grading, but the applicants were in formed that several applications were ahead of thla one and so It Is not probable any convict can be obtain ed. On the 11th day of January three township In Bladen county sre tr vote on the question of an issue ol 140,000 of bond for an extension of th road known as the Virginia A Caroll na Southern, from St Paula to Ells- ahethtown, the distance being about 20 miles. Some persons have said tha the Raleigh and Routhport railway If to build thl line In caae the bond are voted, while other say It 1 the pur pose of the Raleigh A Southport tc build an entirely different line from Hope Mills to ElUabethtown. How ever. President Mills of the Raleigh A Southport sold some days age thai If the bonds were voted the roar1 would be built by his company. One of the objects of both road I to tra verse a splendid forest of pines trees which extends most of the distance The penitentiary authorities have ha for sometime application for convlcU for mad building, but have not been able to do anything In this line, as the total number of State convicts Is only about 760 and of course some of these are sick and Incapable.

As a result of the water n ains lit the city being drained for several hours Sunday by reason of the break In the gravity line nejir vRock Cut" several leaks In mains were discovered yesterday- and Monday and the city plumber's force has been kept busy making re pair. A leak occurred on South Main street, one on South French" Broadj avenue and one on Mer rlmon avenue. It teoomea necessary, however, to cut off water In one or two instances for only a short time. . This work on the mains yesterday evidently created a suspicion In tho minds of some water consumers that there was more trouble with the sup ply and a a result many telephonic inquiries were made both at police headquarters and at the office of the water superintendent last evening. The Inquiries for a time came thick and faat and the water miperlntend-t-nt's office became worried t& know just how such a rumor could have started and spread so rapidly . Th-3 Inquiries came front different sections of the town. All the inquiring ones were pleasantly Informed that there was nothing wrong with the supply: that the water would not be shut off and that they might, in effect, rest easy. - ' ' OF ONE OF WOMAN'S EYES But Evidence to the Contrary Wat Pro duced, and Gilbert Forney Was Discharged. An old caae. was diaposed of in po lice court this morning when a nol pros was taken in the case of Gilbert Forney, a negro, charged with assault on one Mary Champion, also of color. At one time it looked aa though the case would assume a Berioua aspect. After Forney had been arrested charged with the assault the Cham pion woman employed counsel and warrant was changed from an assault to mayhem. It was alleged that when Forney made an assault on the womun he ripped nt her face with a knife and split one of the eyeballs, and that the contents spilled on the floor. The woman today ia blind in one eye. After this charge was made and heavy bond fixed for Forney's appear ance the next day, the woman disap peared. That was several days ago nnd efforts to locate her have proved futile. This morning Judge Reynolds, representing Forney, told tho court that the defense had evidence to the effect that Forney never cut the wom an's eye out; that the woman after the occurrence had told several people including the attending physlcan, that she had fallen against the sharp edge of a board or door and wounded the eye. In the absence of the woman and any evidence to the contrary a nol pros was taken and the defendant discharged. ' , 5 . The charge of mayhem In North Carolina is serious and had the charge tgnlnst Forney been established he would have faced a term of Imprison ment ranging from four months to 60 years.
