Major Smith formerly had charge of
the Tuskegee Institute Band, and
while there was closely associated
with the illustrious Booker T. Wash
ington. He justly bears the reputa-
ton of being one of the most thor
ough musicians of his race-a reputa-
ton which pays tribute to his genius
and long years of hard work. The
foundation of his musical career was
laid during his boyhood while en-
ployed in the publishing house of Carl
Hoffman of Kansas City, Mo-, and of
Lyon & Healey of Chicago. His tai
ent for music was so evident that his
employers allowed him access to all
parts of the plant, and later sent him
to DR.. Zeigfeld, president of the Chi
cago Musical College. Here he re-
ceived training in composition, mod
ern orchestration and voice, where he
became efficient for leadership. Lyon
& Healey engaged him as an instruc-
tor for bands, and later he was made
agent for the firm. His reliable SER
vice and large sales soon repaid the
firm for the time and labor spent upon
him.
At the time of the Paris Exposition
Major Smith organized a band, or
chestra and glee club and took them
abroad on an extended tour of eighteen
months.
This trip took in England and the
Continent. Some time later, he car
ried a similar organization to Austria
liza, New Zealand and other islands of
the Pacific. Upon his return he served
four years as Bandmaster of the
Eighth Regimental Illinois State Mi.
litia.
Major Smith has given a great deal
of his time to composition work, espe-
cially searching out and arranging
many Negro folk songs. To do this
he spent weeks in remote country dis
tricts for the purpose of studying
them first hand. Also some of the
sweetest and tenderest lullabies of the
Negro heart have been composed by
Major Smith.
1t was from such rich experience
that Major Smith went to the world
famed Tuskegee Institute and devoted
himself unreservedly to the training
of his fellow men there, in a love and
appreciation of their own life and
song.
The Lincoln High School of Kansas
City is indeed fortunate to have the
services of a nan of such broad eX-
perience. The praiseworthy way in
which the orchestra and chorus per-
formed before the convention pays
tribute to the leader and bears evil
dence of his skill and merit. May
Major Smith long continue in his good
service both to the high school and
his race.

The following article from the Mis-

State Convention were the musical
numbers rendered by the Lincoln High

the leadership of Major n. Clark

1t is generally admitted that no
number on the entire program of the
Interstate surpassed the Eulogy given
by the Chairman of the Executive
Committee in her timely introduction
of the President. Her eloquence
swayed the audience. Everyone listen
ed awe struck. She touched upon re-
ligion, democracy, patriotism and ser
vice also giving a resume of what the
Interstate stood for, concluding with
an introduction proper that she could
not introduce to them a Susan B. An

crowds ever gathered in Americus to
hear political speaker will assemb
in the Superior courtroom tomorrow
morning.
Scores c. kilograms have been re-

tered throughout several counties in

here from their respective communi-
ties, and barring impossible weather
conditions 1t is certain the occasion
will be memorable one in the his
tory Of Sumter and surrounding coun-
ties. The occasion being patriotic
one, it is probable one of the bands
at Souther Field will be detailed to
attend, in which event the crowds will
hear an excellent musical program in
addition to a spicy and eloquent adj
dress.

the occasion, is one of Georgia's fore
most orators, man for his reparte
as we'll as the biting sting of his re-
marks when engaged in political
campaigning He is one of the best
informed men in the whole state and
will tell his hearers much about the

to the real danger that threatens. An
oratorical treat of undoubted merit
awaits all who attend, and the indi-
cations are that the courthouse will
be filed to overfiowing.
