TIT gives me great pleasure to intro- duce to those who do not know him. = Mir. Edward Parker Richardson, the | accomplished accompanist and baritone of the Birmingham-So Southern College Glee club.
 A mere lad-just 1S-Mr Richardson has already achieved great success in his art, coming here from California last autumn to join his parents, pr. and Mrs. Burt Parker Richardson, at the Birmingham Southern college, where Dr. Richardson occupies the chair of science and is the director of the Glee club of that insti- tuition.
 Young MT. Richardson seems to have been born with music in his heart and soul-and what more natural since his father is so talented and his mother also, so from early childhood the young man has been environed by music in it's high est form, his parents both possessing good voices.
 Young MT. Richardson has had very eventful career. In his IS short years from the time he first saw the light Of day out in Missouri, where his father was teaching.
 MT. Richardson is a fine looking young fellow-blonde and big of physique; clean cut and red-headed. Howeverf as he says of himself, much to my disgust and sorrow lot of my shock of red hair has forsaken me- and further adds, "as is often the case a fiery temperament accompanies the sunburnt hair, but for tunately for me, I took after my mother in that respect inheriting her mild tenn per-" for she is the Brunette type"
 My predlections for music could not have been avoided with both sides of my family musical" said Mr Richard son, and so I am going to make it my profession I have already had several tours, being professionally engaged since 1S16."
 'The Birmingham Southern College Glee club has enjoyed a short tour this season." MT Richardson continued. "and we were greatly gratified at the manner in which our work was received, many declaring that our glee club was the fin est they had ever heard.
 "Of the IS members Mr. Richardson said, many possess fine voices. Our work ranges from the classical to the popular songs of the day. Personally, I like the highest class of music, but, of course, we must in a measure cater to our audiences, and in varied audience there are many who prefer popular music. SC we try to incorporate our programmes to please everybody.
 ''I studied voice with Lowell Moore Red1ed in California, one of the most renowned teachers in that part of the country MT. Richardson said, "and the piano with his wife, Mabel Hill Redfeld."
 During our six years at Greensboro when my father was connected with the Southern university before it was consol- dated with the Birmingham college" Mir. Richardson said. ''We spent very de-

Camp Pike Team to Play C. B. Boys
 Here Wednesday

The Camp Pike baseball team will be in Pine Bluff for one game We'd nesday afternoon, July 30. This announcement was made yesterday by Manager Clyde Vowell ot the Cot ton Belt ball club, who has been negotiating with Lieut.. c. P. Lester camp athletic officer for a game.
 The Camp Pike club is reputed to be one of the strongest amateur tearos in the state, and is known to be the strongest soldier team, hay ing wen from various soldier teams.
 Due to the fact that local people have not patronized the games played here, it is probable that the Rotary club and the Chamber of Commerce will assist the Cotton Belt boys in making the game a financial sue cess. The expenses of this game, it is said, will be rather steep, and the officials of the two organizations feel that Pine Bluff people should lend the Cotton Belt team it's support in this game. Manager Vowell has not announced his lineup, but he stated he was goin to take the field with the strongest nine he could assemble.
 It is probable that an attempt will be made to have business houses close at 4 o'clock on Wednesday in order that the employees might have an opportunity to attend the game which will begin at 4:30 o'clock.
