Seek t Preserve Harmony
Of Negro's Famous Songs
BIl'.MINOHAM. Ala. - (AP.
The New ffovth Is fast losinc one
of the cherished tradttiona of the
Old Ho ilk tbe "spirituals" and
unmatched harmony tn the sons'
of the negro. t
IndustriaJ progrces is blier-d
by music enties to be ia rgrly re
sponsibie for the changed condi
tions amoeg the race. The lar?e
piantaiiona of IHxie at one time
were the homes of the aouth'c
chief negro snosiciani.
Tis different now. The best
musicians of fhe race are to be
found in the cities and centers of
population. Bat many of the
who hare become urban citizens
have acquired , cultural attain
ments which have detracted from
the old-time none.
Big cotton farms in the far
south have be$-n,cut tip into many
smaller tracts. The cotton plant
er who boasted once of
plows' can't be found. His negro
tenants have found more profit
able employment in tbe cities
in tbe factories, on tbe highways,
in structural work.
With the scattering of farm help
tbe oidea-time harmony is pass
ing. One must journey far into
Alabama to find negro singing
which even approximates the har
mony that once existed over tbe
.ntire sooth.
Tuakc ge Institute Is making
serious effort to preserve for both
tbe white and ngro ract-s the
spirit of song originated by the
negro. The institute has pro
duced some of the finest singers.
Ounng the last college year. is
riee cUb presented an interpre
tation of the negro songs of otn
er days which was described as
being as nearly perfect as repro
duction could be made. Fisk and
Hampton likewise "have given
much thought along similar lin-s
of endeavor at the instance of
leaders of both races.
Those who have never beard
the real cotton-pa tcb harmony can
scarcely appreciate the apprehen
sion of music lovers that this art
is about to pass. Fifty e gro--s.
of varied age. In one cotton field
are capable of producing an im
promptu program of song. chanV

found nowhere else on the glob.
in the opinion of music critics
who have tmteb-d Bfar to heir

The song is usuaiiy one wmcb

There' no precedent for what be
