REV. P. P. BLALOCK.

One of the most captivating
features of the music department
is the Brass band, of which Rev
P. P. Blalock is director. This
band has from its incipency heen
one of the wonders of the College,
sand still The wonder grows" The
rapidity and thorougbness with
which this department. has learn
ed to make music is indeed a
marvel. We might say all the
credit is due to Mr. Blalock, for
we could have no such thrilling
harmonies without him, and yet it
is poor rule that does not work
both ways; without the teachers,
young ladies, and cadets Of ithe S..
C. &. 1. who compose the band,
Edgefeld alone would have been
power..ess. Much of the music of
the band has been composed by
Mr. Blalock, whose ability asa
composer is we'll known and ess!7

cal genius in other directions. Mr..
Blalock, a native of Edgefeld Isl
not a prophet without honor in bis
own country, for since the
completion of his education, Edge
field has with the exception OF a
few years, kept him heartily clasp
ed in her own embrace, and he has
fully compensated all her afec-
ton and favor. His opportunity
for study has been extensive and
we'll comprehended. His first
years as learner away from home
were spent at Cedar Grove in Spar
tanburg county. and Macon, Ga.
His maturer years as a student
were passed at the Presbyterian
Theological Seminary in Colum-
bia S. c., at Furman University
and the Baptist Theological Sem
mary, Louisville Kentucky. His
attainments are thus seen to be
versatile. AS a pastor, be has
been one OF the most successful in
