The Palladium has arranged with Prof. Justin LeRoy Harris to write especially for it a series of ten articles on the general subject of "The Art of Singing." These articles" will appear weekly beginning next Sunday
and will be made features of the regular Sunday edition. Mr. IIarri3 is already well known in Richmond, having recently moved here from Bloomington, 111., where for three years he
was director of the Litta Conservatory of Music, an incorporated school and one of the influential ones of that city. He is planning to a little later organize a conservatory of Music in this place with a strong faculty that will make it one of the best schools of music in the state. Mr. Harris has an elegantly equipped studio in the JIasoniTffi&iple His sister Ethel Maearris is a noted pianist and haafr charge of the Bloomington
ool in his absence. Mr. Harris
iould not be confused with those
voice teachers, who as student-teach
ers have formerly had vocal classes
in Richmond. He is a man of wide experience as a teacher and investiga
tor. He i3 thoroughly familiar with the traditional interpretation of the great Operas and. Oratorios, sings in English, German, French and Italian, and has written a book on the subject of the training of the voice, the principles of which have received the endorse ment of some of the leading teachers and investigators in this line. i pupils are today filling some of the best professional positions in this and other states. It was at Mr. Jas. Shaw's (the Chautauqua man) suggestion and on the advice of some of Richmond's best known business men
that Mr. Harris located here with the purpose of establishing a Conservatory of Music similar to his Bloomington schooj. The articles to be written by Prof. Harris will not be technical exposi
tions of his art, but will be practical papers which musicians and non-musicians alike will find interesting and instructive. The subjects of the articles beginning next Sunday will be: 1 The Italian versus the German Vocal School. 2 The Local Effort and the Relat-

form swaying with emotion, and speaking with the typical style of the Southerner he told of the amusing incidents which surrounded the lives of many of the people, he was irre
sistible, and only one suffering with
chronic "sourness" could have possi bly overcome the desire to laugh. Mr. Ham begun his lecture by say
ing that the Georgia "cracker" was
the greatest character on earth, and that in his travels over Indiana he
could not help but notice the great likeness between some of the native
Hoosiers and the famous "crackers." In part, Col. Ham's address follows:
"I am going to apeak to you today about the South and her people, and as I am not one of those men who
go around over the country talking
about thing that people aro unacquainted with, I believe that I can give you a true picture of the old
times in Dixie; the old South, not the
new; the one which is the prlda of
the true Southerner's heart; the one
around which so many fond recollec
tions collect, and tne one wnicn was so badly misunderstood, and the one which today, the people of the
North and the West are unfamiliar
mere are two conceptions ;a me
North of the true Southerner, on? be ug that to be a Southerner a man
must 1 i ve a florid complexion, a lon
mustache, a large gun at each hip
and bowie knife at his waist, ready
to kill a white man or a 'nigger be
fore he can eat breakfast in comfort.
The other idea is that the Southern
er is a long, lean .lank, slab-sided sort of a 'son-of-a-gun. who has net suf
ficient energy to breath. These are
the conceptions drawn by somo authors and some of the newspaper men of the North. How does this opinion
originate, one asks? I will tell you
A young Northern man is sent to
college and is graduated. He takes a position on a Northern newspaper,
and is sent south to review the conditions there. He takes a nice, comfortable chair in a Pullman and goes
sailing through the South, sees these
specimens of humanity hanging about the railroad stations, goes back North and sets to work writing a great treat
ise on the Southerner and his char
acteristics. Having never come in
contact with the true and broad-
minded men of the South, nor learn
eM of that section's higher and broader principles; the hospitality bestowed on all strangers, and last, but not least, the noble-minded women. Many
Northerners have heeded the opin
ions of these men, and thus an eron-
eous opinion has been formed of the people of the South."
Cause of the Civil War. Mr. Ham then touched upon the
Civil War, and stated that it was the
outgrowth of the misunderstandings
of two different peoples living in two
great and different sections of the
country. As an illustration, he refer
red to an incident in a court yard
of a certain town in the South. He
said that a certain prominent man
was exhorting his brothers to hurry
and join theranks of a then rapidly
forming company, and said that if they did not hurry, they would not
have a chance to fight as the Yan
kees would have fled, fully believing
that the Northerners would not fight.
Continuing, Col. Ham said:
"It is my firm opinion that if the
American railroads at that time had
been running North and South, in
stead of East and West, the war
might have been averted as the railroads are a great medium by which people are brought together, and misunderstandings thus are healed over. The people of the North had been
characterizing the people of the
South as villains, and based their
opinions on nothing more than what they had read from the pens of the newspaper men who had formed a false conclusion " of the true South
erner.
The South's Aristocracy. Col. Ham took up the development
or the Southern aristocracy, ana
charmed his hearers with the beauti
ful word picture of the trials of the
early pioneer who had buiidci lain a home in what was then the .outskirts of civilization, and of the gi . work he did in founding of the grcT.i South
ern commonwealth. The speaker
showed how, after a few years, the once poor farmer had accumulated
a small amount of money, an amount sufficient to purchase a slave or two and then he began to branch out into
broader fields of cultivation. Not only did these men who occupied the middle position in the development of Southern life, grow in the knowledge of agricultural science, but they be
gan to show new intellectual devel
opment also, and turned their atten
tion to the broader and higher things
of life.
In a most beautiful word picture, Col. Ham next carried his audience back two or three generations before the outbreak of the Civil War, and showed them the lords of the Southern plantations the type of man who 'has been the greatest misjudged man in the world. Situated amidst the busy activity of the large plantations, this man of hospitality, who accorded all comers a welcome that could not be mistaken; this man of noble instinct and broad culture, who loved his servants and trusted them, and whom the colored folks loved as their own father; this man who has been painted as a cruel and harsh slave driver, a trafficer in human souls; this man whom God had never blessed with a kindlier or gentler soul; the man who wa3 willing to die for the sake of his home, and who would fight for the protection of his loved servants this was the true Southerner, Col. Ham said, ana the manly man who had been so grossly misrepresented, so little understood. The picture was a beautiful one, and one which could not have been given other than by a Southern gentleman. Talked of the New South. Mr. Ham then took up the subject of the new South, and said that the
people of that section of the country
