better as all learned art.
Now only a little more, dear raader
I like TO tell you how music is imposed
and arranged. I had the good fortune OF
a good schooling, by being a graduate
Of the Military Bandmasters' College OF
Prussia. Really for a baudmaster is
more essentially to arrange music as to
compose. Whenever you want to COM
pose, don't use any instrument that
will spoil it; let the musical idea be
formed in your brain, like a picture.
and then write it down, but if you can
rot write, call an expert and he will
DO it, and sure you will get p real COM
position.
Now don't get weary, only one more.
That is arranging. That had to be
learned in college, if you want to do il
properly You have to go through a
long learning of laws and regulations
to have all this on your finger tips, like
a judge should know all laws to decide
cases. To arrange you have to consid-
er three essential things again. First
melody; second, harmony; third, bass
You have to write each down separate
ly. 1t takes a long time to get perfect
on arranging. L had to write scores by
the hundred, only for the teacher to
tear them up, and to do it over again,
but practice makes perfect, and after
three long, weary years, l could ar
range even without a score. In fact
what / do now always. People have
erroneous ideas about arranging and
producing music, and advise me to let
some OF my musicians copy and save
your time. Now for the benefit of my
dear reader, there is no copying in ar
ranging and for all that in composing
too, except you duplicate one part, say
for instance the first violin. You ar
range one, but If you want four first
violin parts of course you duplicate
them. Now for instance, the singing
numbers of the band, could never buy
a single number for that purpose, as
there is nothing printed, and as no
other band in the world, yes that's true
sing in every concert, assisted by the
ladies', I'm obliged to arrange each and
every song, and L do it this way for
the benefit of my readers, although I
have a patent or a cinch on this my
own arrangement. I copy or arrange a
solo singing part from the printer, copy
IF voice and piano, then 1 arrange first
he string section: first violin, second
violin, viola and bass; then the reed
section: flute, first clarinet, second
then the brass section: first
;Crnet, second cornet, first horn, Sec
md horn and trombone; then comes
he drums with triangle, bells, etc; then
Il last the four chorus part, soprano,
Ito, tenor and BASES. That means
eighteen parts and each part entirely
and the worst is, it takes
our songs each evening concert to fill
he programme or about twenty songs
Il week or about eighty songs a
Month! By constant changing, of
curse when the songs are new 1 or we

Dr. Shoaff has a chair in the Southern Uni versity at Greensboro and in addition has a circuit called the Faunsdale circuit where he fills the pulpit each Sunday.
 Saturday last he left Greensboro en route to Browns where he was to preach Sunday. He spent the day in Selma but when Dr. Hosmer, the president of the university got on the same train with him at Marion Junction en route to Un- iontown he noticed at once something wrong with Dr. Shoaff He accordingly persuaded him to go on to Uniontown with him and yesterday morning brought him back to Selma Here a number of friends of the doctor called upon him but he failed to recognize a single one.
 It is recalled that about three years ago Dr. Shoaff had an attack of paraly- sis This attack followed a railroad wreck that the doctor was in and he at tributed it to a wrench he received in his back. The attack which came upon him Saturday is thought to be a return of the old malady only the brain is the seat of pain and mental abberation has followed.

$53,ooo,ooo IN INSURANCE.
Remarkable Showing Made By the
 New York Life lnsuransce Go.

New York, February 11.-F'ifty-three million dollars of new insurance policies in the first six weeks of the year Is the astonishing high water record announced by one of the foremost life insurance com panieS.
 The announcement is made today on the occasion of the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the election of Hon. John A. Mccall to the presidency of the New York Life Insurance Company.
 Insurance men and financiers admit that this is one of the strongest indica tions of the general prosperity of the country that has been presented since the dawn of the New Year. President Me Call is being showered with telegrams and letters of congratulation from off cials and agents of the New York Life all over the land.
 In his report made at the beginning ot the year, MT. Mccall foreshadowed the era of insurance activity now prevalent He insisted that the old style of manage ment of which was disposed to bubble over the settlement of the claims and which denied the right of the insured to loans and surrender values on demand, must give way to more liberal ideas; and also that an open record of all transac- tions of the year should be furnished an- nually to the insured.
 It was hardly anticipated, however, that the response would be so spontaneous or of such dimensions as S53,OOO,OO0 or more new business than many of the larger companies have hitherto been able to write in the course of twelve months is expected.
 Should the present rate of new ihsur- ance keep up for the year the New York life will secure $3O,0OOoOO in new paid-for policies; a figure so far in advance of anything hitherto achieved that there is no opportunity for comparison.

TUSCALOOSA

Tuscaloosa, February 11.-(Special.)- )-- Yesterday evening at about [ o'clock a young negro perhaps 20 years of age ap- peared on the back veranda of MT. Guy Fosters residence. It is said that when Collier Foster, the eldest son, went to the door that the negro asked for something to eat. Young Foster. accompanied by Jim Foster, son of MT. J. Luther Foster took the negro and started to town with him to turn him over to the city authori- ties. The negro was assured that if he att tempted to escape he would suffer In turning a dark corner the negro started to run, and as he did so Collier Foster drew his pistol and fired. The ball en- tered the negro's back passing through the kidneys into the lower bowels. The boys telephoned for Chief McGil who took him to pr. Hargrove's office, where the wound was dressed. The negro gave his name as John Hall, said he came down from Birmingham last evening and intended going to Montgomery today where his mother lives. He is resting easy this afternoon but the wound is thought to be fatal

He said that this was especially true with the Southern stories, which gives the im- pression that the South had never con- trihuted anything to history save the Con federacy. He plead for a more just his- tory, one that would give the South her credit both before and since the war.
