comparatively small. The following

The above when figured out shows
the following shipments in pounds for
the first ten months of the Two wears:
1923, 423, 3l9 pounds.
1888, S27, 122 pounds.
This shows falling off in ship

compared with the same period of last
year of only 500. 1877 pounds, or frac-
tion less than 6 per cent of less.
That is record of which this city
and her factories can truly be proud.

keep up with the usual shipments in

SENSATIONAL PREACHERS
A CRITICISM FROM THE WEST
ERN CAROLINA ADVOCATE.
Men Who Preach for MONEY and MOTTO
riety-Evangel1st Lees Weak.
ness-Other News.

Editor Groome, of the Western Car
DINA Advocate, is evidently not
struck" with many of the so-called
evangelists. Here is what lie saws
about them:
"We have set of men going about
calling themselves evangelists they
respond to that weakness OF our
some new thing; they come with d
flourish, gusto, and set thcir powers
on high; they excite the people with
the flame from the faggots of discon-
nected experiences which would blrn
to its original dust in a few weeks.
For the most part their usefulness is
thread-bear at home; many of them
connot get recommendation for
license to preach in their home
churches for want of gifts, grace and
, usefulness they want notoriety and
money. To keep af1oat they must
have a large number of converts re
ported in the papers: that makes
them in demand yonder: hence all
possible methods are employed 60 run
up the count, until confidence has
been abused and the correctness of
nearly every report questioned"
In the same editorial Editor Groome
refers to Evangelist Lee, who by the
way is well known in Winston, having
conducted G series of services at Burk-
head church last year. The Advocate
says that "he is one of the soundest
and best preachers we ever heard, and
is, to large extent, an exception to
the rule. The fault we have to find
of him has been expressed to him per-
sonally, viz: Efforts to make and
count converts before thorough work
has been done in their hearts. Another
fault observed by his brethren is the
demand for too heavy collections fol
his services. We have been told he il
holding up somewhat on the latter
we hope it is true, both for his sake
and the gospels. He is useful man,
and with the notifications indicated,
could be used with profit to the
church."

You can't always tell what will
happen. Repeal of the silver-pur-

mining, it was predicted. But that
has not come to pass. With the
cheapening of silver has come an ex-
tension of it's use in the fine arts that
promises in time to widen the market
for the products of the Colorado
mines. People are buying in solid
silver many small articles that used
to be plated, and silver plate has
been substituted in other cases where
hitherto the baser metals have been
almost exclusively used. 1t looks as
if fashion could have a great deal to
do with the fate of silver for the next
FIVE years.

At this period the only currency
these States had was that issued by
State banks, and in the South the
banks were stable and helpful.
Prejudces against State banks arose
by their failure in the West, and the
term wild cat banks" is used to
scare people and to keep up such
prejudices as may now exist. The
question needs ample discussion, and
State banks, if they are ever again
permitted to issue currency should
he SO regulated by law that it's cur
rency should be amply protected by
value so that everybody would Ee
