Convention to be Held in Star Thea tre Next Month. | During the last twenty or thirty years, in every civilized country of the world, the love for, and interest taken in the divine art. Music, has been universal. Especially does this apply to the King of all instilments—The Violin. Performers of this noble instru ment may he divided into two classes —Die trained musician, and the mere lover of music. In the case of the former we have the man. who in nn- dltion to great natural talents, t a lies liis art seriously, and maybe hopes by deep study and perseverance, to mas ter the ureat technical difficulties of the instrument, and so possibl- make a name for himself in the great world of music. But it is with the mere lover of the violin—the amateur—we are principally concerned; the man the great possibilities of the instru ment when in the hands of a skillful performer. This is decidedly a distinct innova tion. the presenting to the public the two classes of violin playing and Mr. Richardson in appearing in the role of modern violin technic versus old- time fiddling is cognizant of the open criticism of the classical musicians, not only in his native State but ad joining States. A prize of $10 in gold will be awarded by five prominent citizens of each town, to the best first fiddler and $5 to the best second fiddler. Application for entrance should be made to Ed. H. DeCamp, Gaffney, S. C. No entrance fee will be required, and the fiddlers who come to Gaffney and enter the contest will be enter tained free of all cost.

DON RICHARDSON. who possibly not knowing a single note of music, passes many happy hours with his old fiddle, playing the old country folk-songs and tunes in the bosom of, his own family. In almost every land are to be found these old lovers of their fiddles. In the far villages of England, amongst the hills and dales of ‘‘Bonnie Scot land” and in the famous Black For est of Germany may be found dozens of them. It is the same in our land, especially our Southland. In the vil lages and hamlets of the Carolinas, of Georga, Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi are many men, who, when their days work is over take down from its hanging place against the wall their old fiddle and pass an idle hour playing the old songs, jigs, reels, ets., we all love so well. At the request of many friends, and believers that there are many people in our Southland who would be pleased to hear the old-time tunes played by real old-time players. Mr. Don Richardson, the well known mu sician and famous violinist of Char lotte. N. C.. is undertaking a short tour of the South, in order to give the people of the Southern States an op portunity of hearing the tunes their forefathers played in the lonv ago. Mr. Richardson has been fo-tunate in securing the interest in his under taking of many well known men of the South noted for their love of the violin, and many of them have pro mised to appear personally with him; and demonstrate that their hands have not yet lost their old-time cun ning. A special feature of this unique af fair will be the contrasting of the old method of playing, with it’s limit-' efi technique, and the modem style, with it’s bounding possibilities. Mr. Richardson will himself appear, and by his rendering of works by modem composers, will demonstrate will bring with him several old-time fiddlers, but only fiddlers of Cherokee county will be eligible for the con test.
