There is something unique, something
distinctive about the SparJanbufg Fes-
tfval. 1t is one of the most remark
able musical events in all the South,
probably in all the country. Those who
have spent Festival week in Spar
tanburg. S. c.. know that the festival
is an institution-or rather an occa-
sion-unlike any other in this section
of the country. that has popular hold
on the public and has drawn year after
year to the auditorium. built especially
for this festival brilliant audiences Of
the most cultured people of the South
There is an atmosphere of spring, OF
holiday and of music about the festival
that gives it a charm even more inspir-
ing than some of the richest notes of
the great singers appearing in the con
certs.
Then there are the social features
of the week. in which the people Of
Spartanburg take enthusiastic part
seeing to it their friends and their
visitors-for everybody has visitors
during the festival-share in the
many entertainments, embracing lawn
parties. class reunions at the colleges,
family gatherings, card parties-where
the artistic temperaments" are for the
time being suppressed and finally. the
Festival dance" an annual affair given
by the Festival German club. These
things all contribute to the pleasure of
being in Spartanburg during festival
week

Financial Side of Festival.


In the Caroinas the festival is
known in d way but appreciated only
by those who have attended it. 1t is a
great musical event and the men and
women who are directing it labor for
its success only through their devotion
to high ideals. Financially the festival
is upon business basis The recent
festivals have cost more than $4,000,
but with possibly one exception the
patronage has always brought to the
box Office sufficient funds to pay all
expenses. The approaching festival
will be one of the most expensive ever
given, but there is no uneasiness con
corning the attendance
In 1894 the South Atlantic States
Music Festival had its beginning. It
was a modest beginning, but the ideals
were high, and the determination was
then formed that nothing should be
promised that could not be completely
fulfilled, and that performance should
excel announcement. And from the
beginning these have been the basic
principles of the festival How wei
they have been adhered to patrons
who have attended the festival regu-
larly for as many as ten years know.
1t has been the constant care of the
management to fulfill all promises,
raising the standard of artistic excel
lence year by year.
The result of this policy has been
the establishment of a reputation which
is the pride of residents of the South
Atlantic States And the record of
artists brought to this section, of great
compositions presented by the care

Work of Choral Society.

From a musical standpoint the fes-
tival is remarkable in many respects.
In its eighteen years it has grown from
a small company of enthusiastic must
clans who gave annual concerts, to
an organization known as the Con-
verse Choral society with member
ship of more than 200 persons, some
of whom are merchants. bankers
doctors. lawyers and ministers In
fact. all the walks of life are repre-
scented in the chorus. And these
members work. Month in and month
out they are rehearsing, rehearsing
and rehearsing for the festival They
take it seriously The choral society
is proud of it's achievements-an and
justly so-for it's members have sung
some of the greatest oratorios as wen
if not better. according to musical au-
thorities who have heard them, as
many of the worlds most famous
choruses.

order of things to bring from abroad
to sing at this festival each year some
of the most famous artists A list
of those who have sung at the Spar
tanburg festival would be a list of the
worlds most famous singers. They
come unprepared for the event and
go away surprised and delighted that
they have found in the South such a
temple, as is the auditorium here,
erected to music and filled with such
an inspiring audience of music lovers
The audience, usually numbering over
1000 persons, represents the cities Of
the Southeastern states, for in the
more recent years the fame Of the
festival has attracted musicians from
neighboring cities who come in parties
to enjoy the week or music.
Our forefathers, these men of vision,
without whose guiding power the South
would, indeed. have persisted, achieved
greater marvels after 1865 than those
of the battiefields on which they had
led their troops to victory. The fight
against poverty. against lawIessness,
against Reorganization in legislation
and in every avenue Of governmental
and business activity was a harder
fight than that of bayonet and bullet
and the roar of cannon through which
they had just passed. This industrial
fight required as much courage as
much ability, as that displayed by the
same men in facing the cannon. or

Decidedly one of the most interesting

Pottle wins this fight safely, but not

SIatOn, Dorsey, and Pendleton
Were Expected to Win Their
Respective Races.

Fulton couuty's vote ir the state pri-
mary is today undergoing careful study
by persons politically interested. 1t is
a striking fact that virtually no race
in the county resulted in surprise. As
the political tipsters said the county
would go, so the votes were polled. in
nearly every instance.
Slaton's majority Of almost three to
one had been freely prophesed during
the final days of the campaign, and the
vote-Slaton, 6,4O5; Alexander, 2,529;
Hall, 15S-shows how well the situation
had been studied by the leaders of his
campaign.

Dorsey Wins
Easy Victory.

The runa way race made by Solicitor
General Hugh Dorsey was gratifying
to his friends and a distinct surprise to
the supporters of Madison Bell, his OPP
ponent Mr. Bell made an aggressive
campaign Of personal nature. He had
employed the old method of personal
appeal so rapidly fading out in the
larger counties and had visited every
section of the county, the stores, the
shops and office buildings to press his
claim.
Despite this, he failed to win a single
box. The vote was: Dorsey, $3.50 Bell,
2,7S8.
There was real thrill in the legis-
lative race. There were five candidates
for the three positions, and until the
votes were counted there were few bold
enough to say who would be returned
winner. Throughout the polling,
though. it was known that the race had
narrowed down to Robert Blackburn,
r. O. Cochran, j. Y Smith and w NJ.
Smith. Walter MCElreath. member of
the present legislature and candidate
for re- detection, fought hard and had
loyal friends. but they saw that there
were too many and too potent influ-
ences working against him to bode
we'll for his success.
His support of the Tippins bill had
aroused the ire of the near beer" ele-
ment and the weight of its support was
thrown against him. Then, too, his
support of the proposed new charter
last fall. which was so bitterly fought
by the city government, did much to
account for his defeat Despite these
influences his race was close The
vote was. Blackburn, 1886, J. Y. Smith

Hoke Smith Factions
Not in Line Yesterday.

1t was noticed that the Hoke Smith
or anti-Brown faction that swung Full
ton county in both the last gubernato-
rial fight and in the presidential pri-
mary, made no effort to maintain its
line in Yesterdays battle. Many of
them were enthusiastic workers for
Slaton, while Alexander's strength came
largely from the ultra prohibitionist ell
ement.
More than in the governors race, in
terest centered In the purely local
fights. The contests between Judge
John Pendleton and Alex Stephens for
judge of the superior court, Hugh Dor
sey and Madison Bell for solicitor gen
eral and the legislative race were all
spiritedly fought and drew out the big
vote.
Though interest was high in these
races, no ante-election prophecies went
wrong. Though Stephens supporters
struggled to the end, the talent had
picked Judge Pendleton az the winner.
Stephens carried but one city ward, the
Fifth, where he led his opponent SAP to
243. Adamsville and Battle Hill dis
tricts both went to him by small ma
jorities and in Blackhall each candi-
date polled 46 votes. The total was:
Pendleton, 5,767; Stephens, 3,115.

The word for the sort of a campaign
and the sort of leaders was sent by
none other than George w. Perkins, and
there was immediate peace, tranquility
and harmony in the Bull Moose ranks
Of Georgia
The word was that Bull Moose cam
paisn funds would not be available for
use in this state if the same methods
of squabbling for patronage and pie
that always distinguished the Repubh-
can party in the South were employed
by the Progressives here.
The word was sent straight. 1t was
delivered by f. L. Cooney, of Atlanta,
general manager for Georgia of the
New York Life Insurance Company, of
which company Mr. Perkins was for
merly chairman Of the board of di-
rectors. and in which he is still largely
interested.
1t was spoken at a quiet little social
gathering of the Progressive chieftains
held at the home of Roger A. DeWar
where the cheftains discussed the po-
Htical situation and an excellent re-
past.
Mr.. Cooney. VINO had hitherto not
figured in the lmelight in the Moose
movement. is a personal friend and a
business associate of long standing of
MI. Perkins. When he spoke, the chief
tains knew that he spoke with au-
thOrity
After the repast. he told the gather
ing that MIR. Perkins had said that he
had no intention of putting money in
the Georgia campaign, unless he knew
that money was being used legitimate
lv by a person in whose business abil-
ity and political acumen he had the
utmost confidence In short, his inten
ton was that the Bull Moose should not
be preyed upon by political harpies that
invariably flock to new movements In
