1T WAS \ GREAT MEETING.
New Church Organized ut Wcstmin-
Stcr-To Erect New Building.

Westminster, March 17.-Special:
The series Of meetings which has
been in progress for three weeks at
Buffers Hall, closed Sunday night
with a congregation of between 400
and 500 people to hear the last SER
mon.
This meeting was conducted by
Rev. II. a. Sublett. of Greenville. one
of the strongest and most widely
known evangeliStS in the State. He
has for 4 years labored valiantly
and well in different portions of nine
States, and we feel that we were
very fortunate in having him in our
town.
On Saturday, the 7th, a Baptist
church Of 80 charter members was
organized in this hall, bearing the
name Emanuel Baptist church. The
following deacons were elected: DR..
w. A. Strickland, A. p. Tannery, D..
|. Mulkey, w. l.. England and j. NJ.
Hull; church clerk, B. l.. Mitchell; !;
treasurer, J. II. Hudson. Rev. r. A.
Sublett was chosen to act as modera-
tor during the remainder Of the
meeting, in which 21 members were
received, 13 by letter and 8 by expe-
rience, making a total of 70 men,
berS.
We feel that great and lasting
good has been accomplished, and
Bro. Sublett's forceful sermons, kind
disposition and warm handShakes
won for him hosts of friends who will
gladly welcome him back at any
time.
j. A. Durham had charge Of the
music most Of the time during the
meeting, which added greatly to the
interest and brought back past joys
to Bro. Subiett and himself, as they
have travelled together quite a great
deal in the eVangelistic work
Emanuel church will in the near
future begin to plan for church
site and building. Arrangements
are also being made to secure pas
tor. This church has started out
with promising prospects, and we
trust it will be the means Of bring
ir" many souls to Christ.
Bro. Sublett will return the first
Sunday in April to administer the
ordinance Of baptism and will honor
us with morning and evening SER
vices, which will be looked forward
to with great anticipations.

TO ELIMINATE THE CANVASS ?
Outline of Some Things that MAY
Come Up i'm Convention.

Columbia, March 16.-If the MAY
Convention adopts suggestion that
will be made to the State Democratic
Convention the county-to-county can
vass for votes in the primary will be
changed considerably. To have
seven meetings, one in each Con-
gressional District at central loca-
ton in the district, is a plan now
being discussed in political circles.
Heretofore campaign meetings
have been numerous, the gatherings
being held in each county of the
State. Commencing in June the
meetings have run close to the time
set for the first primary.
Objections have been raised to this
mode Of campaigning, but efforts to
do away with the county-to-county
canvass heretofore have proven un-
availing. 1t is now pointed out that
probably the compromise suggestion
Of holding Congressional District
meetings would meet with general
favor.
The seven Congressional Distric:
meetings, under the proposed MaA
would not constitute all Of the meet
ings at which candidates for Office
would speak. To each candidate it
would be left to arrange his own
meetings, other than those at which
all the candidates for State Offices
would meet.
One objection that is being raised
to the cOunty-to-county campaign
meetings is that the candidates for
the more important offices do not
have sufficient time in which to
present their views to the people
For instance, the Gubernatorial cam
didates have heretofore had but 20
minutes, as a rule. In that time
they hardly had time, it is said, to
give, briefly. their opinion on the is
sues Of campaign without regard to
any attacks that might have to be
answered.
Forty minutes to the candidates
for Governor and the same amount
Of time to those for the United States
Senate, the latter composing a sepa-
rate campaign party, is given as a
proper solution of the difficulty.
Instead Of starting the campaign
meetings in June, it is suggested by
those favoring the proposed change
that July and August be utilized for
the campaign meetings in the seve-
raj Congressional Districts. Then
the candidates could in the mean
while go to whatever meetings might
be arranged for them, or for any Of
them.
Under the district meetings plan
the following cities would probably
be the ones selected for the meet
ings: Columbia, Aiken, Charleston,
Anderson, GreenVille, Spartanburg,
Rock Hill or some central point in
some of the districts other than the
cities named.
An effort will be made also at the
convention to separate the Senator
rial campaign and the campaign for
the State offices. 1t is pointed out
by those in touch on political mat
ters that this will likely be done by
the CONVEX ton. The May Convention
will take some action on the method
Of holding the campaign meetings
and the Sta'e Executive Committee
will map out the details.

GOLD MINING IN 1913.

The gold mining industry of the United States was again generally normal in 1913, according to H. D. McCaskey, of the United States Geological Survey, but early figures indicate the smallest output since 1905, when it was $SS,1SO,700. In 1906 the production increased to $94,- 373 800, in 1907 it dropped to '$90, 1885, 700, in 1908 it rose to $94, ,56O,00O, in 1909 it reached the high water mark of $99 ,673 400, in 1910 it fell to s96,- 269, 100, in 1911 it rose to s96,890 900, and in 1912 it fell again to $93, ,451 300. For 1913 the preliminary estimates of the Geological Survey and Bureau of the Mint idicate a domestic gold production of $S8,3O1 ,023, a decrease of S5,15O,477 from the final figures for 1912.
 The decrease is to be ascribed mainly to declines in the output from Alaska, Nevada South Dakota, and Utah. In Alaska the net decrease of over $1,500,000 was due in part to the exceptionally dry summer of 1913 and the consequent water short age for both placer and lode mining, especially in the interior, and in part to further exhaustion of the bonanza deposits of the Fairbanks district. At Fairbanks, in the InnokeIditarod region and on Seward Peninsula the total falling off was about $2,250,0 ,000, and the sluicing season was less than half the normal.

COPPER.
Good Buying and Prices FractionaIIy
 Higher.

There has been some good buying of copper and prices are fractionally higher. When offerings reached a level of IA 1-4 cents for electrolytic, both foreign and domestic consum- CTS bought heavily All the IA IA cent offerings were quickly absorbed and prices were advanced to IA 3-S cents, which is the present level, al- though some agencies claim to have no supplies to offer under IA 1-2 cents.
 Casting copper has been compara- lively firmer than other brands and is selling at 11.35 cents in carload lots. Electrolytic copper is quoted at IA 3-S cents and Calumet & Hecla copper at 15 cents Although sheet cop per was reduced last week from 20 cents to 19 3-4 cents, it is expected in the trade that the 20 cent quotation will be re-established again in the near future
 It is estimated that as much as 50,000,000 pounds were disposed of between 14 IA and IA 3-S cents the past week mostly for April and May delivery.
