The sessions of the synod will take to Charleston many representative men and the sessions will prove the more attractive for the proposed commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the death of John Calvin, who founded the Presbyterian church. The attendance will not be confined to members of the ? r n ? r-s ? ? Luuieii ui ouuiii Carolina, out a number of prominent Presbyterians from beyond the State are expected to attend. At the meeting last year in Sumter the attendance reached 151 ministers and laymen and the attendance at the Charleston meeting this year is expected to be still larger. The synod will be in session from Friday night to and including Tuesday and during this time a number of very interesting papers and discussions will be considered. There will be many papers read on Sunday school work, church societies and guilds, home and foreign missions and in fact all the departments and phases of aggressive work of the church of the present day. The exercises will be all tne more interesting for the observance of the Calvin anniversary. Seven homicide cases are to be tried in Bennettsville this week. f*? i +4 <? %'* ' ' II a m ami 0^^^^ I ttt B8, SbbBrl I. < <?. n i ttt III ttt We solicit ttt HZ HI ance of ABS || TREATMEr ? !
