'a Dull Moment

A TEE AT INDEED,
Thursday evening's
"Fiddler's Convention"
held in store for one of
the largest audiences of
the season, every seat
in The Carolina music
hall being taken and
many standing through
out the Diosrram. From opening over
ture in which the entire list of contesting
"fiddlers and banjo pickers" participated,
until the final award of prizes, there was
not a dull moment and never has applause
been more spontaneous or enthusiastic.
At first regarding the affair somewhat
in the nature of a joke, the audience soon
settled down to a real appreciation of it,
for never have thafamiliar instruments
appealed in just the same light as reflec
tions of the characters of those who
played them. It was the same tune, to
be sure, and much the same music, but in
the rendering was that subtle something
which at once conveyed individuality and
character pathos, humor, melody and
in such a manner as to give new under
standing. Presiding as the judges of the evening,
were Messrs. James D. Foot, Col. J. E.
Smith and W. L. Ilurd who awarded first
prize to W. P. Fry, Daniel Fry and An
drew J. Fry, among the violinists, and F.
II. Maness and Angus L. Fry among the
banjo players. In opening Mr. Leonard
Tufts explained the origin of the "con
vention" in an interesting manner, say
ing in part :
To many of you, a Fiddlers Convention is en
tirely new. Some may have had the pleasure of
attending the one held in the Clubhouse last
winter; and if they did I know they enjoyed it.
It has been suggested that I give a little history
of the section, and explain the manner of play
ing and the tunes. The battle of Culloden in
Scotland, in 1746, was the decisive batile in the
long struggle between the reigning House of
Hanover and the House of Stuart, and In this
battle the Scotch who fought for Prince Charles
Stuart was completely routed and large num
bers of them emigranted to this country. King
George II of England was anxious to capture
Prince Charles Stuart, but Flora McDonald, a
young Scotch woman, disguised him as her ser
vant, and embarked with him to France. After
ward she returned to Scotland, was arrested
and placed in the Tower of London. On being
asked by his majesty, why she aided his enemy
she replied: "I did for him sire, no more than I
would do for you, if you needed my help." His
majesty was so pleaded that he 11 Derated her.and
soon she married Allen McDonald and they
joined their Highland frlends.who had settled In
this section.
The different sections of North Carolina were
settled by emigrants from different countries,
and the boundries of these are nearly as distinct
today as they were one hundred years ago. The
people of this section were and are almost en
tirely Scotch, and the customs they brought from
their native country have been handed down from
father to son. As they did not travel, and as they
fought every outsider who tried to settle here.the
customs have changed but little, and it is said
that one can get a better idea of what Scotland was
in 1750 here than by visiting Scotland. Gallic is
still spoken by a few old men inth's spy.ion
and only fifty years ago.the service was pve:ich!
ed in Gallic. The hand loom and spinning veel
are still used and some of the old people siiu ad.
here to the quaint customs of the Highland.
One of the customs that was brought ov. r i8
the Fiddlers Convention which is a contest to see
which is the best fiddler of the section. n)e
method of holding the instrument Is the san e as
was used In Scotland by the men who fiddle i for
reels. And when you consider that It Is neves
sary to make the music loud enough to be heard
above the noise of thirty or forty heavy boots
executing a reel, and that these continued for
hours, you can readily understand that the meth.
od of holding the instrument, we are familiar
with, would take the strength and endurance of
a Sandow. The alr are mostly music need
for dancing the old Scotch reels, and many of
them are unquestionably the same as were played
In the Highlands of Scotland in 1700. Each gen
eration has taught the next and very few of the
airs have ever been written, and probably none
of the players can read music written for a violin,
It is customary to open the Convention by all
playing the same air, "The Mississippi Sawyer,"
and then each player in turn plays a piece and is
judged as to his ability. The name of each con
testant and the piece he selects will be announced
by the judges before each number. Each con
testant will be limited to five minutes, and the
judges will be allowed to call on each as many
times as they desire. While the judges are mak
ing their decisions some of the fiddlers have vol
unteered to play duets and dance. Eacli player
will be paid one dollar and there will be three
prizes for the fiddlers of five dollars, three dol
lars and two dollars, and two for the banjo pick
ers of three dollars and two dollars. Arrange
ments have been made for eeveral banjo play
ers which Is a more modern Instrument and is
now usually introduced into a Fiddlers Conven
tion. The object of the collection to be
taken, is to aid the public school of this section,
which is doing such good work among the
children.

Itadiant Spring- at Plnliumt Orini
Winter in Vw England
Received upon one of the most perfect
days of the month, the following dispatch
from lioston very forcibly points out a
blessing sometimes overlooked by visitors
here who forget that spring here is some
two months in advance of New England.
Severe storm and blizzard struck
lioston early this morning. Looks
like middle of winter,"
It is pleasing to note that the number
who are this year planning to remain
through April is the largest in the his
tory of the Village, and there are delights
in store for those who have never known
April's charm ; delights which for two
weeks past, have been suggested by
balmy air, infinite skies, blossoming
shrubs and singing birds.
