SOME QUICK WORK A CHURCH BUILDING ERECTED IN A SINGLE DAY. MANY WITNESS THE FEAT With All the Material Ready and on the Ground, Large Number of "Workers Ply Their Trades Speed I-1 i y mid the Building is Fnished When Evening Came. A new Methodist church was I built in Spartanburg Wednesday be-I tween sunrise and dusk. A dispatch to The State says in a handsome I building at the corner of South I, Church street and Crescent Avenue, |( not a stick of which had been stand-I ing 14 hours before, 800 people worshipped touinght, while three times I , that many stood outside .vainly seeking to enter. I Although built in a single day, ElBethel church is as substantial a I structure, the carpenters agreed, as , if six months had been aevoted to the ( job. It is a far handsomer building, l( according to Major Augustas H Kir-|( by, 83 years old, than the first Methodist church erected in this city, which was dedicated in 183 6 and took a year to build. I With carpeted isles, mission style pews, an altar decorated with flow ers, a piano in the choir loft and all the requisites in place, the interior of the church last night presented as finished an appearance as the exterior^ which was neatly painted in white, with green trimmings. j Estimates of the number of peo p'/O who watched the building or tne church vary, but it is believed by some that as many as 18,000 persons visited the place during the day. Many people came from the country In buggies and wagons to see the unusual spectacle. Moving picturo men reeled of many thousand feet of film. System carefully prearranged, enabled the 150 carpenters, mechanics, painters, paper hangers, plumbers, electrical workers and other artisans to perform the feat. Every man to know exactly where to get the material needed and where to put it. The Rev. J. 'M. Shell, who formerly was in charge of the work of the Methodist church in the section where El-Bethel stands and who was one of the prime movers in the project, was the first man on the scene this morning. Ho reached the lot at 5:15 o'clock. Five minutes later the Rev. John W. Speake, pastor of the Bethel " n church, the motner ui Ul-UCIUDI , vv. | P. Hammond, chairman of the building committee, and J. M. Crawford of the Magness Trust company, general superintendent of the enterprise, reached the scene. Maj. Kirby, patriarch of local Methodism, who was to drive the first ff nail, arrived with a number of carpenters, about 5:30 o'clock. The brick foundation was already in place having been completed Tuesday evening. The building material had also been assembled on the lot, every piece was numbered and laid where the workmen knew they would find it. At C o'clock Mr. Shell invoked the divine blessing on the undertaking and prayed that there would be no I accident. Five minutes later the carI penters raised the first corner post I and Maj. Kirby drove the first nail. V He used an ancient hammer which, he said, had been lost 1845 and not found again until 1 865. Maj. H*. \ Kirby made one or two false strokes \ and his grandson, A. M. Chreltzberg, I offered to hold the nail for him. ? Maj. Kirby declined assistance, V however, and proceeded to drive the nail without further trouble. At noon all the rough work except the raising of the roof had been finAt tni? nnfnt the bugle sound II&I1UU. <-? ?. __ ed for lunch and 150 workmen filed to two long tablos, spread on the lot by the ladies of Bethel church The Rev.

While tho workmen1! heads bowed the camera men tool I motion picture of them. I Mr. Swain's Baraca band ha< I marched to the scene at 9:3ft o'clock I playing "Onward Christian Soldier.' I If. took a stand on the piazza of Jess I Mahaffey's house, opposite the churcl I and played lively airs all day. k v At 5 o'clock the pews were brough I In and the work on t he drop cell in completed.

Recognized Klen.se Advocate, Being Defeated in Home Club, Joins Another. Tho Columbia correspondent of The News and Courier says George F?. Rembert, who was on lats Saturday night left off tho list of delegates to tho Richland County Convention from Ward 1, in which he is a resident and in which club he was enrolled, is now enrolled in Ward 5 Club, his name having been put on that club roll since the action of t rVard 1 Club in leaving him out of the list of delegates. ^ While no statement has beon issued along this line, it is presumed j Lhat Mr. Rembert will be in the Counly Convention as a delegate from Ward 5, and this action foreshadows r a light in the Richland County Con- j vention between the friends and opponents of Governor Blease, for Mr. Rembert is the recognized Blease leader in this county, and the action of the Ward 1 Club in leaving him Dut of the list of delegates is con- f ceded to have been the work of tho ( opponents of the Governor. The action of Mr. Rembert in movIng his name to Ward 5, which Is known as the mill ward, following the action of his home club In leav- ' ing out his name from tho list of delegates to the County Convention is similar to tho action of Governor , Blease at Newberry, the Governor being chosen a delegate to the Newberry County Convention from another club following the action of his homo club in turning him down as a delegate. Everyone looks for Mr. Rembert in tho County Convention and also looks for a big fight between the Blease and Anti-Blease forces. They consider tho action gf Mr. Rembert to mean that he will carry the fight to tho floor of tho County Convention and endeavor to go to the State Convention, and it has been rumored *1'"' "l?*~ T> liort la lr?r*vtnfr ff) OTIO lllill 11M.I . ivuiii ucj v iu v/v?..>0 ? of tho places on this district's delegation to Baltimore. That Mr. Rembert will lead the fight for a Blease delegation to tho State Convention is what everyone expects, a*d tlie meeting of the Richland Convention for next Monday is looked forward to with much interest. HOAX CATCHES A MAN. ? Swindled Out of Twenty Thousand Dollars by Slick Rascal. The Atlanta Journal says in an ap[ peal to the police to help the story of how ho had been caught him locate a man named J. W. Thomas, a young citizen of Monroe, Ga., told by an advertisement hoax and swindled out of $20. E. E. Allison, the Monroe man, answered an advetrisement in an Atlanta paper last week, promising $18 a week and expenses to a good salesman who was wanted by tho Electric Cigar Lighter company. Meeting J. W. Thomas in his office at 4 26 Marietta street, Allison says he was told that he would have to make a cash bond of $100 before tho 1 -1 ? .1.. n ^ 1 w f L a o o m _ company WOUIU iiuvanuc aiui tuo oitiuplca and make a contract with him. He paid $20 as tho first installment, he says, and theh Thomas disappeared, leaving no trace of tho Electric Cigar Lighter company, whom ho had said ho represented. Tho police have searched in vain for Thomas for the past three days, lie had rented office spaco in the Truitt Coal Company, at 42 6 Marietta street, but the officers of the company say he disappeared several days ago and has not been seen there since. attended to. i Mr. Shell presided at tho meeting. Mrs. Speako, at tho piano, accomuanied tho opening hymn, "Praise God | From Whom All Blessings Flow." The singing was conducted by John j C. Brewtuton. j Tho Kev. A. J. Cauthen, presiding s elder, led in prayer, after which Mr c Shell read the scripture lesson. Mr Hammond mado an address, thankI ing tho carpenters and other work men for their labor, which was giver ' freo. Four carpenters in theii 0 overall then took up the collection h A flashlight photograph was thoi taken. Mr. ShelJ then related th< t history of tTie church and presenter tr the deed for the property. Mr o 9 Speako mentioned that tho Kcv. w.i ,f II.

I TEDDY IS BEATEN TAFT LACKS ONLY FORTY-NINE VOTES TO WIN OUT - ? FIGURES GIVEN BELOW As Furnished by Congressman McKinley, President Taft's Campaign M?nugerr Who Claims tliat Tlioy Are Correct, and Shows That Taft Has Teddy Beat to a Frazzle. The following statement was ismed Saturday by Director McKinley the National Taft Bureau: Delegates to convention. . . . 1078 Necessary to nominate 540 Delegates elected 710 Delegates to be elected 338 Of the delegates elected: A /% rt Taft has 40 < Roosevelt has 227 La Follette has 3G 3uinmings has 10 Total 740 Of the delegates to be elected: Taft needs 73 Roosevelt needs 313 LaFollette needs 5 04 uummins needs 530 The States of Arkansas, 18 votes, and Nevada, G votes, are now ready to act finally, both being for President Taft. This means 24 additional votes for Taft and makes the real Taft figures as follows: For Taft, 491; Taft needs 4 9. Adding Arkansas and Nevada to the Taft total would increase the total of delegates elected to 7 64 and reduce the number to be elected to 314. It affects the Roosevelt table as follows: Delegates to be elected, 314; Roosevelt needs 313. Hence Roosevelt has already practically lost control of the convention. STANDING OF DEMOCRATS. ?
