Bethune. S. C.. Will Be Here Te
Contest for the Prize, as Well a.
Other Notable Experts With the
Bow and the Catgut-Proceeds Go
TO Legion.
The crop of fiddlers this year
promises to break all records. "The
boil weevil,' said Judge W. 0. Lem
mond, who is staging the old-time fid-
dlers' convention in the high school
auditorium Saturday evening, "hasn'I
touched them. We have more entries
for the state championship fiddling
contest than we have ever had be-
fore, and il looks like we will have
Ito 90 through some kind Of wedding
out process to jam them all into one
program. Fiddlers, guitar and banjo
pickers from all over the county and
adjoining counties will be on hands
ready for business. Several from
South Carolina will come 10 enter the
contest. Fiddling John A. Smith from
Bethune, S. c. will be here to contest
for the prize, as well as several other
notable experts with the bow and cat
gut. W. j. Crenshaw, from Van
Wyck. S. c., of course will be here to
play his no ed fiddle and call figures
of the old dance"
Famous Annual Eevent
"The love of the old fashioned fiddle
music, unwritten but handed down
from generation to generation since
the days of the revolution, has made
the iiddlers convention here as fam
Gus as the Mardi Gras of New Or
leans. Some of the instruments used
by these country fddlers are as in
teresting as the mus an who handles
them. There are fiddles more than
200 years old, brought to America by
the direct ancestors of their present
owners. The tunes the fiddlers play
are jigs and reels and breakdowns,
with an occasional old ballad air.
Most of the tunes are riotious break
down melodies, used to spur on the
dancers of the old Virginia Reed, the
same tunes that for hundred years
or more have furnished the accom-
paniment for the barn dances" of
the country gatherings Of older days,
tunes that really put your feet to
moving, and put life in your shoes
until you can be heard putting your
feet for yards off.
To cover the expenses of the fid-
dlers and to provide prizes, and most
especially to meet the exnenses the
American Legion will be put to on the
big celebration, Nov. 18th, an admis-
sion fee of 25, so and rs CENTS will
be charged. The entire proceeds af-
ter paying expenses will be turned
over to the Melvin Deese Post.
