PRESBYTERY MET AT MO?NTVILLE Resignations of Dr. Adams and Mr.Reid Accepted. IMPORTANT SESSION. Rev. J. L. McUn, Moderator. The Next Meeting to be Held at Greer, In the Spring. The fall session of Enoree Presbytery was held last week with the Mountville Presbyterian church. The Rev. J. L. McLin, of Gray Court, was elected moderator. The stated clerk is Rev. Robert Adams, who was present. The spring session will be held at Greer. Tho session of Presbytery just held was quite a busy one, and many mat ters were passed upon. One of much interest to Laurens was the accep tation of Dr. Robert Adams' resigna tion as pastor of the First Presbyter ian church of Laurens. Dr. Adams for mally tendered his resignation to the church on the preceding Sunday; it was consented to and referred to Presby tery. Dr. Adams will, therefore, close his pastorate next Sunday evening, at which time he will preach his farewell sermon. On the first of November he will formally assume his duties as president of the Presbyterian College of South Carolina, to which position he was recently elected. The inaugural exercises will not be held until later, about the first of January, perhaps. Since his election Dr. Adams has visit ed three Presbyteries, including his own, in the interest of the college, and he feels great gratification with the in terest that has been manifested toward himself and the college. Another resignation accepted was that of Rev. B. P. Reid, as pastor of Old Field church, this county. Upon application, a committee composed of Rev. J. F. Matheson, of Gaffney, and Rev. R. E. Henderlite, of Fairview, was appointed to conduct the installa tion of Rev. W. L. Boggs as pastor of Friendship church, on the fourth Sun day in this month. For some time Mr. Boggs, who lives in Greenville, has been the supply of this church. A very impressive service was the ordination of Mr. D. W. Richardson to the minis try, who enters upon his duties as pas tor of the Greer Presbyterian church. Last December Rev. Robert H. Reid, father of the Rev. B. P. Reid, and one of the two oldest ministerial members of Enoree Presbytery (the other being the Rev. Mr. James, of Union) passed to his reward. At this meeting of Presbytery a fitting memorial on his life was read by Col. Thos. J. Moore, of Spartanburg county, who knew the deceased intimately for many years, loved and honored him for hi3 great virtues and noble exemplification of piety. DR. PITTS GOES TO BLACKVILLE. He Will Leave Laurens next Week for New Field. Rev. J. D. Pitts leaves next week to begin his work as pastor of the Baptist church at Blackville, S. C. It is safe to say that no man could leave Laurens whose going would be so universally regretted. For thirty years he has la bored in LaurenB, and his labor has been one of love, repaid by the love of all who know him, without regard to forms of faith. ? OUR SPECIAL NOTICES.

Fourteen Year old Negro Boy Shot An* other of Same Age. About sundown Sunday afternoon the body of Horace Brewington, a 14 year old negro boy who was raised by Mr. F. L. Donnan ofjthe Tylersville section, was found in the yard of Sam Templeton, a colored tenant living on Mr. J. S. Craig's place. Investigation revealed the fact that Brewington bad been killed with a shot gun while in a scuffle over the gun with Sam Temple ton's boy, Jim Templeton, whose age is said to be about fourteen. Sam Templeton and family were ab sent from home, all except Jim. Ac cording to his statement made at the inquest, the Brewington boy secured the gun from the house and the two got into a scuffle over the posession of the weupon. In the scramble it was dis charged accidentally. The charge took effect in Brewington's neck and death must have been instantaneous. The Templeton boy ran off after the shoot ing, without notifying near neighbors, and was found sometime later a mile or two from home. As the result, however, of the coron er's inquest, the boy was lodged in jail Monday night by Deputy Sheriff Sulli van.
