Religious Services.

Religious Services.
For two weeks past series Of very interest
ing religious meetings have been held daily in
the Methodist Church Of this town, at which
much religious feeling has been manifested.
The revival was commenced by Rev. -
Campbell, Pastor of the Church. Last week,
Rev. J. T. Wightman. d. D., Pastor of Wash
ington Street Church, Columbia, came to his as
sistance and preached number of powerful and
effective sermons, causing great seriousness in
the minds Of the congregations, and awaking
many to n sense Of their danger in continuing
in sin. DR.. Wightman left here last Saturday.
but Rev Carlisle, of Spartanburg, assumed
the work on Monday and delivered very able
sermons every day up to Wednesday night,
when the meeting was closed. Ten personshave
been added TO the church, and it is hoped that
the seeds sown at the meeting will continue to
bring forth more fruit, as many arc undof seri-
Gus convictions

Questions for Clubs

ME. h"iroR AS find but few persons have
mnturs.y considered the proposed plan Of nom
mating candidates for office, by primary elec-
:ion, allow me to suggest that each club discuss
few probable results of the system. All ore
anxious to have the nominations made to suit
the people, and am particularly anxious that
heapeopic should make the nominations.
The questions with me are, will a majority Of
the people be more likely TO make nominations
through primary elections than by the old con-
vention system; and further, will n primary
election be more likely to give better candi-
dates than Convention.
Suppose, for instance, the primary system is
adopted and the man receiving o majority Of
the votes be declared the candidate of the party
Now, let us see how it might work. We will
say there nre D candidates for an office, (from
appearance there will be ten for each) and 1000
primary vetcs polled; one candidate gets 500
another 400, and the remaining 100 votes are
divided among the remaining three. No one
has majority, nor has the two highest COM
bincd received q majority, but they belong to
the two largest townships or clubs. and by the
rules, only the two receiving the highest vote can
be voted for at the second election. Now, SUI =.
pose the one receiving the 400 votes at the
first election, should receive a majority at the
second, would the friends of the other four can
didates be satisfied that there was no log rolling
wire-pullipg, corruption, &C.. and, in fact,
would the candidate be any more the real choice
Of the people than if he had been nominated
by q convention.
Again, if the plurality system tho man get
ting the highest vote-is adopted, and the man
who receives the 500 votes be declared the can
didste, would he be the choice of the people,
and could you ask the other 1900 voters to ac-
ccpt him rs their choice?
have few more questions for the clubs to
discuss. These will do for tho next meeting.
NO CANDIDATE.

Nieholson's Hall.

This magnificent Hall was opened to the pub
lc for the first time on Wednesday nigat Of last
Peek, with Cramer's Comedy Entertainments.
fRescombined attractions Of witnessing the new
IIpp, the fine stage scenery and the dramatic
formaaces, draw quite a large assembly Of
,sdt dtclD1ssnsAsuiAsr. The hallxas well lighted
4three handsome Chandeliers hang ging along ths-
c5htre and q number Of neat lamps arranged
dong the sides Of the wall, disclosing all the
beauties Of the room to the best advantage
On entering the Hall each person almost in
Voluntarily gave expression to their delight and
surprise at the exquisite taste displayed, the
ample dimensions and general arrangements Of
~ room.
Before tho performances commenced Mr.. Cra-
lmer came before the audience and exhibited the
beautiful scenery, describing the dramatic repre-
tenations in which each scene can be appropri-
&ely used. The "drop curtain" represents the
second of Coles four celebrated pictures of
'1he voyage of lfe," and is as handsome q
s{ftain as we ever saw, even in the largest the
aeei of the country.
= Fhe scenery was the work Of Mr. Eugene
Gamer. of Columbia, and confirms the reputa-
- - SlSs ealsssrs IL the country.
THE HALL
1920 feet long, by 35 feet wide, and 22 feet to
comb Il the roof. The room is open to the
r3of, with heavy girdcrs and braces, SO scicn-
tihcally arranged as to make secure and safethe
heavy fre-proof slate roof. The roof from the
WI is lined with thick panelled papering and
3eac 81 20 lor1 Nj
statuary. Windows on either side and in tho
frsnt, give ample ventilation.
I~ Beneath the hall is q large store room of the
same dimensions, with heavy upright pillars in
centre, from front to rear, resting upon rock
foundations, supporting the fosr of the hall
and equaHzing the pressure, so rs to make it
firm and safe under my weight that may be put
istOit.
Tue BUILDING
Is d brick, with n rock foundation, all laid in
saeshset cement mortar, making it one of the
most solid and substantial buildings in the
State. We, with a number of other persons,
have noticed particularly that there is not the
least jar or vibration of the floor of the Hall by
persons walking over it either singly or in any
numbers. In our opinion the building does
great credit to every person engaged in its cree
ton, from the Architect, who is Mr.. Nicholson
him,slf, 70 Mr.. L. A. Lyman, the bricklayer,
and,M P. T. Lemaster, the Carpenter. The
latter gentlemen haze certainly proved them
selves to be first class work men and sminently
worthy tho patronage Of our citizens.
The building is both On ornament and con-
venience to the town, and Mr.. Nicholson is
certainly entitled to the thanks Of our citizens
for his enterprise in building such o Hall for
them, and he should receive every encourage
lment
