few years was supposed to be incura-

There are about 700 negro citizens in

WHAT ABOUT TIE BANJO?
1t las been a much debated ques-
ton among negro dialect writer's
whether the banjo is really very much
of a negro musical instrument, that
is to say, whether it was invented by
the slaves and whether it was ever
played by them to a great extent.
1t has been claimed by some that
the banjo is an Arabian invention,
and that it came to this country sim
ply as a rude combination Of hide
and a wooden rim. 1t is also claimed
that the negro va never much of a
performer on the banjo.
Whatever might be advanced to
sustain these claims, the fact still re
mains that the prima iacie evidence
is against them.
To those who have never heard
the genuine negro banjo picker, there
is but little doubt of at Leaf the
a~daptability of the instrument to the
race. Of course, to hear the banjo
fakir of modern times, whether his
skin be black or white, would tend
to dlsprove the commonly accepted
tradition that the banjo is the negro's
instrument, for the faxed songs and
fantastic movements of the fingers
on the strings have no smack of
plantation originality. There is the
greatest difference between the ban
joist Of the present day and the
"banjO picker Of the past, whose
songs were the life Of the plantations
of the south. The entire art is
changed, and the banjo itself has
evoluted from q seive hoop covered
with a sheep skin to a beautiful IL
stument trimmed with silver orna-
ments and covered with the finest
skin parchment such as is used
for the manufacture Of college dip
Tue old negroes along the banks
