Series Opened
By Budapest
Quartet
Fine Program
Presented; Play
Again Today
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

Returning again for three concerts
under the Gertrude Clarke Whittall
Foundation, the Budapest String
Quartet played the first program of
this series last evening at the
Library of Congress. The extraordi-
nary finesse of their playing found
specially fine medium of ex-
preston in the choice program which
was climaxed by the participation of
William Primrose, noted violist, in
the Mozart Quintet in G Minor
K. v. SIG" Preceding this was given
the Beethoven Quartet in D Major
Op. 18, No. 3" and the Brahms
Quartet in c Minor, Op. 81, No. l."
The third quartet of Beethoven S
opus 18 has been played often but
seldom given such an Illuminating
Interpretation as the Budapest
players presented last evening. One
OF the greatest charms of this
groups performance is the mellow
ness of tone which at no moment
is disturbed by overemphasis. The
famed Stradivari instruments sound
best in the hands of these gifted
players whose regard for the beauty
OF their tone seems to be uppermost
IN their minds. In the Beethoven,
the glorious tonal variety which they
so easily developed was reinforced
by concreteness of purpose that
united the artists in every line of
the music and resulted in a perform
ance that was superbly worked out
and glowing with warmth and feel
ing.
Mr.. Primrose proved an ideal part
ner Tor this group and together they
evolved the deeper character of this
work OF Mozart's with great sensi-
bility. Seldom does Mozart allow a
tragic note to creep into his music,
out the quintet, written after a pc
rlod when sickness, death and WORRY
had stirred up all that was sorrow
ful In his nature, could not escape
the imprint of his tragic thoughts
Not only in sentiment but in struc-
ture does it reflect the gravity that
possessed him. The five artists,
thoroughly in sympathy emotion
ally, enhanced their performance bv
a musical reading where every de-
tall was elaborated to the proper
degree with keen insight.
The very lovely Quartet in c
Minor" of Brahms with it's charm
ing melodies and marked rhythm
gave opportunity for that special
grace and elan that the Budapest
ensemble command to be fully ap-
preclated. In this, as in the Beet
hoven quartet, their skillful fitting
together of the different instru-
mental tones, the minute balance
which they preserve, and the way
IN which the wave of music is made
to flow unbroken through the four
voices. was equaled by their true
response to the emotional content
OF this delightful work.
Both in choice of program and the
playing OF these five artists the con-
cert was memorable one. At this
afternoons concert Mr.. Primrose
again will assist the quartet in one
number, Brahms Quintet in G
MAJOR, Op. Ill" and the other num-
ners programmed are the Haydn
quartet in D Major, Op. "a, No. s.
and the Debussy Quartet in G
MINOR, Op. TO-" On Monday eve
ming will be the commemoration of
the death of Stradivari when the
Budapest Quartet will have Epon
Petrl, pianist, as assisting artist.

North Carolina Is
Leading Nation In
Home Vegetables

College Station, Raleigh, March 20.
North Carolina leads the nation in
the value Of garden vegetables grown
for home use, with the total value
of such products being $685. oil, it
was reported today by Miss Mary E.
Thomas, nutritionist of the State Col
lege Extension Service Despite this
encouraging fact, there are still too
many farm homes in this State that
do not have vegetables in the guam
tity and variety needed for good
health, Miss Thomas said.
The annual report of Miss Thomas
and Miss Sallie Brooks, assistant ex-
tension nutritionist, shows that 209,-
643 home gardens were grown in
1888. There are 3OO,967 farm fam
lilies in the state. Of these, 47,686
were year-round gardens.
Food conservation also received in
creased attention from farm women
during 1888, the nutritionists report
ed. In 80 counties in which organiz-
ed home demonstration work was
conducted, total of a4,153,662 con-
tainers of fruits, vegetables and
meats were canned, and in 70 coun-
ties farm women reported that they
canned 1,O5O,235 containers of jellies,
jams and other products.

Rv HENRY AVERHI,

Raleigh, March Members of
the Wake county House delegation
have introduced bill to reduce the
81 900 tax imposed on slot machine
operators by the 1889 revenue bill to
$500.
The bill, if passed, would be quite
help to those interests wishing to
flood the State with the machines
which were supposedly completely
banished by the Flanagan act of 1887
but which in this Assembly have
come to life again under protection
of an asserted necessity for revenue
to balance the budget.
Representative of the Fayetteville
concern which manufactures and
distributes the slots have been busy
for the full two years in making con-
facts with members of this assembly
in efforts to convince them that the
machines should be licensed.
It is perhaps the first case on rec
ord Of an industry Cor should it be
called that?) not only failing to OBJ
ject to taxation but pleading to be
taxed
In every debate on the subject in
the present session, it was conced-

the legislature does substantially
weaken the Flanagan act, despite
provisions which set out that gam
bling devices per Sc" are not legaliz-
ed by the revenue provisions. "4', !.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Big Meat-P

Raleigh, March Reconstruction
OF large meat packing plant in
North Carolina to serve a number
of southeastern states is expected to
be announced in the near future by
one the nationally known packing
companies, according to Director r.
Bruce Etheridge of the Department
Of Conservation and Development.
For more than year the industrial
division of the department has been
in consultation with packing COM
pany officials and has assisted in
making surveys of several prospec-
tive locations, Mr.. Etheridge said.
For number of years packing
plants in other states have been buy
ing more and more hogs from North
Carolina farmers, especially in the
eastern part of the State, with the
result that North Carolina has now
become one of the foremost hog-pro-
ducing states in the South, Mr.. Eth
eridge pointed out. To facilitate the
purchase Of hogs and their shipment
to finishing plants, several buying
stations have already been establish
ed by Out-of-state packers.

Sheriff Deputies

Rv LYNN NTSRET

q Raleigh, March 29.-Sheriff's de-
puties in many counties are not to
come under terms of the WOrkmen'S
compensation act. A bill providing
for that occasioned about as vigor-
GUS debate in the House yesterday
as any measure this session. Explain
ed by one of its sponsors, Represen-
tative Gregg Cherry, the bill was
made to appear very fine thing for
a county to have. One or two of the
fellows doubted it, and sent up
amendments to have their counties
taken out.
The wise cracking Cherry overshot
the mark somewhat when he began
to ridicule some of these exemptors,
and in a. brisk little by-play between
him and U. S. Page, the bill lost some
friends
Started by Taylor of Caswell, the
procession of exemptions continued
steadily until nineteen counties had
removed themselves.
"Don't you think each one of us
knows as much about what his coun-
ty wants as you know" Mr.. Page
asked Of Mr. Cherry.
Il don't think you have sense
enough always to know what you
need" retorted Cherry
Later both gentlemen admitted
that neither one of them knew much
about anything and the incipient war
was over.
After being SO thoroughly riddled
with amendments as to leave it ap-
plicable only to about three fourths
Of the counties the bill passed. Those
counties can insure deputies, if the
counties want to. They don't have to.

WARD IN
VOTE FOR FIREMEN
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Daily DISDatch Bureau.

Raleigh, March 29.-Roll calls in
the House always start with "Mr.
Speaker" but the speaker seldom
votes. One of the few instances of
this session in which Mr.. Ward
sought the opportunity to record his
vote, was on the question of the
State volunteer firemen's association
and the provisions for benefit fund
hereunder Mr.. Wards faye" was
the loudest vote of the whole roll
call.
The proposition permits "volun-
teer" firemen, and in that category
come all paid city firemen, when
an ,wering calls outside the city
limits, to provide mutual benefit
fund from which compensation may
be drawn in case of injury while in
line of duty. Many cities. have such
arrangements, but the fund could not
be touched if the accident occurred
beyond the city limits.
