PRESBYTERIANS IN SESSION. Much Interest Manifested in Meeting This Week at Chester. South Carolina Presbyterians are manifesting great interest in the meeting c.:' synod now in session in Purit\ Presbyterian church. Chester. This meeting opened on Tuesday evenii g October 3, with a sermon by Dr. J. B. Green, professor of Theoloev. Columbia Seminary. Dr. Green delivered this sermon by request in the aosence of Dr. \Y. H. Hudson, who sailed a few weeks ago to resume his missionary activities in China. The synod of South Carolina is one of the most active and progressive synods of the Southern Presbyterian church. It now has on its roll 172 ministers. 293 churches, 34,367 members, and contributed to all causes for the support of the church the past year ?863.765. The sessions of synod continue through Friday, October 6. and all of the churches are entitled to representation. Included in the program of this meeting are inspiring and helpful conferences and popular meetings in connection with the synod's committees on foreign missions, home missions and stewardship. An interesting and encouraging report will be made by the committee on educational institutions of the synod, calling attention to the very decided increase in the contributions of the churches during the year to the cause of the synod's schools, over the contributions of last year. This increase amounts to something like $6,000, and the remarkable thing about it is that during this year which in some respects has been the worst year financially in the history of the synod, the increase over the preceding year should x>e greater than any increases in the years past since the educational institutions were put in the budget. Each of the synod's four institutions is full to capacity. The Presbyterian College at Clinton is laying plans for the erection of a dormitory, for which an offer of $25,00o has been received recently. Chieora College, Columbia, has had to purchase additional buildings and enlarge those they already own. The Theological Seminary has had to rent numerous quarters outside the grounds, to care for the largest en rollment in its history. Thornwell Orphanage is always full and there are hundreds on the waiting list that could be tpken in if there were room ??

Stillman, millionaire banker of New j Yoik. lost his fight to divorce Mrs. j Anne U. Stillman and disown baby Guy stillman. and was himself found guilty of the charge he made against; his wife?the parentage of an illegi- j jtimate child. [ It was announced by John E. Mack, | guaidian ail litem for Guy Stillman, he would ask Justice Morschausj er to confirm Referee Gleanson's findings. It was Justice Morschauser who! 'granted Mrs. Stillman a record ali- i money of $90,000 a year, and it was I he who granted, over protest, the i cliiftinc of tne trial to Montreal last i | spring. j There Mrs. Stillman presented some i , of her most damaging evidence. The report of the case, filed by j Daniel J. Gleason, the referee, gave f to Mrs. Stillman a complete victory in her defense of her own honor and the good name of Guy, her threeyear-old son. She was also victorious in her counter attack against Mr. Stillman. The referee upheld her accusations that the banker had lived with a former Broadway show girl, Florence H. Leeds, in the manner of husband and wife, and that he had acknowledged himself the father of two children born to Mrs. Leeds. Through his mother's victory, Guy Stillman retains his rights as an heir , j with his two brothers and his sister to the $6,000,000 trust fund cheated for them by their grandfather, the late James Stillman. The referee held that Mr. Stillman had failed to overcome the pre- ! sumption of legitimacy, "which is one of the strongest known to the law, and which cannot be overthrown except by evidence Vhich is stronger."

Decatur, Ga., Sept. 30.?Miss Kosa \\'ilkines of Kingstree, is enrolled at Agnes Scott College for the present term, according to the announcement today of Dr. F. H. Gaines, president. Approximately 435 students are attending Agnes Scott this year, according to Dr. Gaines, which repre 1.. 4ru\ sents an increase ui neai:iy *w the number enrolled at the institution when it was founded thirty-four years ago. A much larger enrollment would be had if the facilities of the college permitted, for scores of applicants for admission have been turned away, Dr. Gaines stated. Agnes Scott ranks among the leading colleges for young women in America in scholatsic standards, and only young women of the highest type in character and educational qualifications are admitted by the college officials. Ever since its founding the institution has placed especial emphasis not only on the highest standards of Christian education, but on the training of Christian character and Christian womanhood as well.
