CAROLINA AND CITY Tf IE NEAR EASTERN ; TO BE SCHOOL
DAY
ALLIED OFFENSIVE! AT THE LOCAL FAIR SWEET REVENGE NOW
FIDDLERS' FROLIC
WAS A FEAST OF Flf
$Ho:e than a score of fiddlers, ban
jcisU, dancers, etc., from the coun
try round about Kinston, some of
them from quite a distance, partici
pated in an old-time "fiddlers' con
vention'' in the Courthouse Friday
i;'ht. Never was anything more en
i ,n' k pul'.cd off here. Some of the
contestants ware old in ycairs; but all
were young in spirit. Laughter and
volliclttrg backwoods music prevailed
from 8 until 11 p. m. The expenses
vire quite heavy, but notwithstanding,
the receipts wera large enough to
Vj3c a handsome little profit, which
was- turned over by the management
' to t'io United Charities. Deputy
Sheriff H. V. Allen was in supreme
ccnjnd; Register of Deeds Carl
Pridgen was the announcer; Col. H. E
Shaw, Policeman J. W. Taylor and
Mr. Wm. Hayes, superintendent of
the Carolina R. R.. were the judges.
Not content with the fiddling and ban
jc'ng and dancing, the promoters had
on hand 3 "scrub" band, which prov-.
cd not to be a scrub band at all.
Some 'cf the participants laughet'
Etcadily throughout their little skits
It was a sunshine occasion. Fiddlers'
and dancers' smiles outshone the ar
tificial illumination of mere punty lit
tle electric ylamps. There was one
drawback two fiddlers proved to he
violinists and rendered "educated'' mu
sic. They were "promptly" eliminated
-r-after they had delighted the large
audience with a number of very good
selections. Announcer Pridgen was
an imposing figure cn the rostrum;
Colonel Shaw shed the stiff legal man
ner of the public prosecutor and ad
ded to the occasion with his evident
pleasure at being present.
The fiddlers were quite particular.
One wanted organ accompaniment.
There were sevaral teams compet
ing. Two, ,Ht" for the first prize
$10. Comprising one were Messrs.
Joel Howard, J. I. Davis, B. F. Wil
liams, Ivey Fordhatn and Tvey Davis;
those sharing with them were Mes
srs. W. D. Wiley, W. G. Howard, Rob
ert Thornton and Lawrence Howard.
Mr. Thornton won the first prize of
$5 in the banjo contest. "Arkansaw
