“DIXIE'S” AUTHOR
Will 8. Hays, Kentucky Colonel and
Editor, Was Jailed for Writ-
ing Song.
Col. Will S. Hays, veteran river
editor of The Courier Journal, song
writer and poet, died at his home in
Louisville, Ky., of vertigo, caused by
a stroke of paralysis suffered in the
Iroquois theater fire in Chicago, De
cember 3 1903 He was 70 years
old. Col. "Hays always claimed the
authorship of the original words of
“Dixie,” and that he was responsible
for the arrangement of the music.
His version of “Dixie” was written
at the outbreak of the civil war, but
the words were considered so sedi
tious that the writer was arrested
and compelled to change them. By
that time, it is -said, Dan Emmett,
the minstrel, had written his song
and his publisher had it copyrighted.
Col. Hays’ most famous song was
“Molly Darling.”
