The opening sermon was preached by Rev. J. C. Shivo, of Abbeville, the retir ing moderator. The Presbytery was organized by the emotion of Hov. J. J. Harrell, of West minster ohurob, as moderator; Kev. S. L. Wilson, as stated olerk, and Kev. J. E. James, of Auderson, as assistant olerk. The atteudsnoe of pastors Rud ruling elders was fairly good. The Hi Ht day of the session (Wednes day) was occupied largely in hearing re ports from the churches and the various committees. Davidson college was reported in a prosperous condition. At night an interesting servioe, in favor of foreigu missions, was hold. Rev. J. C. Shive presided. Rev. A. R. Woodson, Of Pendleton, delivered an interesting and enthusiastic address on "Leadership in Foreign Mis sions." A correspondent of The State says in this regard: "Dr. J. Lowery Wilson addressed the body ou tho groat work of the ohuroh from the time when in the '60s the Pres oyterian church in the South was organ ised as a separate body from the then ex isting church in tho whole United States. Ile emphasized the faot that it was born a missionary church, dwelling upon the thought that while tho coast was block aded and her young mon falling upon the Hold of battle, yot tho church made this subjoot ono of vital inti rest, starting with 50,000 members, increasing from year to year until now its membership is moro than 250,000. Dr. Wilson char acterized this as 'a wondorful stride,' and no doubt due to tho interest in for eign missions. Dr. Wilson was boru on tho soil of mission territory, ami was, as he said, 'baptized on tho banks of tho Ganges.' " Tho committee chnrgod with that mat ter reported that quito a number of churches iu tho Presbytery were without pastors. Dr. W. G. Novillo and other gontlomon engaged in an effort to purchase Chicora col lego at Greenville, S. C., were ac corded a hearing. Sovoral Presbyteries are engaged in this enterprise and from appearances .oui facts adduced on tho hearing tho prospects for success aro reasonably good. Tho meeting in tho iutercst of home missions was well attended and full of interest. Rove. T. D. Cartledge and J. P, Harrell made interesting addresses on the occasion. Dr. W. G. Novillo reported that tho college at Clinton, of which ho is Presi dent, is on rising ground. Botter build ings are going up and tho prospects for success aro chcoriug indeed. Tho election for Commissioners to tho General Assembly, soon to assemble at Greenville, S. C., resulted as follows: Rov. J. J. Harrell, of West minster, and Kev. J. G. Henderson, of Cokosbury; Ruling Elders: Marshall S. Stribliug, of Westminster, and Robt. A. Thompson, of Walhalla. The fall meeting of Presbytery, which is held in October, goes to Wjstmiustor. Elder Wm. P. Anderson, of Westmin ster, is a useful member of the Presby terian church, and was listened to with much attention in Presbytery. Ho is a successful business man, a gentleman and a Christian. Tho death ol* Rev. J, R. Riloy was an nounced by Dr. J. G. Law.
