Prof. R. J. Herndon is engaged in
teaching bands at Lockhart and Cliff
ton, and at both places his bands are
making splendid progress. A gentle
man from Lockhart told the reporter
the other day that at the time Mr..
Herndon first went down there, the
band idea did not stand in very high
repute with the mill management.
The management seemed to have a
notion that musicians were not much
fit for anything else, and that the peo-
pie who went to make up bands
were generally Of class that
believed more in play than in work.
While there was no expressed objec-
tion to the organization Of the band,
still there was feeling that the in
stitution could be dispensed with. But
since Prof. Herndt,n took charge, this
feeling has undergone decided
change. In the first place, Prof. Hern-
don was not long about making it un-
derstood that he is not an idler. He
worked himself as he made the band
work. 1t was not a matter Of fun, but
of serious business. The band boys
soon began to develop into the steadi-
est of the settlement, and as they i'm
proved in their music the whole popu-
lation became interested in their work
The feeling Of the mill management
has undergone complete change with
regard to music There are two bands
at Lockhart now-one composed Of op-
eratives. and one composed Of clerks
and salaried employees. Mr.. Herndon
has charge Of both, and the mill man
agement is disposed to give any rea-
sonable assistance in helping both to
whatever they need.
