The morning session of Harmony Pr*sby tery yesterday was tasen op with the reading j of reports showing the condition of the : various churches ?oder the jurisdiction of f this Presbytery. The reports, with scarcely; an exception, showed that the chnrches were io an improved co -ditioo and that the out- ; look for the growth of the churches and the i advacement of the work in thi3 portion of ; the Master's vinyard is brighter and more ? encouraging than for a period of several j years. There were a number ot committee reports j of a routine character submitted. Mr. Ham. C.

Presbyterian Church to raise funds for tb? purchase ?f property in Abbeville, where school mar be established for the education of deserving colored meo tor the ministry amone their own race.

The proceedings at the morning's session were routine in charac'en The question of uniting Harmony and Pee Dee Presbyteries was brought np aad dis cussed. This is a matter of great impor tance to all Presh vari?ns in this section and 6nal action will he looked foward to with interest. A similar proposition was made at the recent meeting of Pee Dee Presbytery in Cheraw. hot the question was deferred until the spring meetine for further consideration. R?v. J. E. Dnolop preached at 12 o'clock, the Presbvtery having taken a recess for that purpose. The work of the Presbytery was con cluded with the afternoon session and * majority of those who had been in attendance left for home on the evening train. There was a meeting in the Presbyterian Church Saturday night in the interest of for eign missions, at which several addresses were made on that topic. WINTHROP COLLESS GIRLS.

Privateer Persocele Privatster Towxship, S. C, Oct. 14. 1895. j Last Friday night the Amusement Club met at the Bethel parsonage and the follow- j ing programme was rendered : Music, j Miss Heleo Cain; Recitation, Miss Nena' Wells; Address, the Rev. D. Westoo j Hiott: Music, Miss Helen Cain and; Messrs. Heyward Ramsey and Sam- ! mie Caio; Music, Miss Una Wells. The i next meeting of the ciub will take place at j Mr3. Henrietta Lynam's on Friday night, October 25. It was mentioned in this correspondence a while back that one of Privateer's lads was j given asa middle name the family name of a distinguished female missionary, which j name was giren in honor of this lady. We have a similar case amocg tbe opposite sex ; where a little girl was given, as a middle ; name, tbe family name of an eminent ! preacher. This little girl is little Miss Stila' Nettles, the youngest daughter- of trial jus- ' tice W. A. Nettles, whose middle name? j Girardeau?is in honor of Carolina's lead ing pulpit orator, Dr. John L. Girardeau, who was a warm friend of little M iss Nettles's maternal grandfather, Mr. Elias Whilden. Two of Privateer's young men. Messrs. John Whilden and Whilden Netties, are clerking io Sumter : another young man, Mr. [ Russell Ramsey, is clerking in Richland ; ; another, Mr. Hampton Ramsey, has charge j of one o? Mr. J. H. Aycock's storce in an ? adjoining township; another, Mr. Frank Beckham, is a cotton buyer in Abbeville, and still another, Mr. Bert Beckham, is a com mercial drummer in Pennsylvania. Some of these young mea bave not lived in tbe town ship for sometime, but they are all Privateer ; "hoys" and show how some of our "boys" are makiDg tbeir way in tbe world.

It was announced yesterday that at a meet- ; ing of the vestry of the parish of St. Michael's held on Tuesday evening the Rev. John Kershaw, at present rector of the Church of | the Comforter, at Sumter, and of the Church I of the Holy Cross, at Stateburir, was chosen j for ree'or of the parish of St. Michael's. Mr. Kershaw is too weil known in Charles ton and, indeed, in South Carolina to require any introduction. R- is the sou of the late Geu. Joseph Brevard Kershaw. of Kershaw County, and was born at Lis father's resi- i dence, in Camden. a little over forty years I ago. Mr. Kershaw entered early the piofes sion of the law anu practiced with father, | but after several years ihrew uside lhe books ? of the law for those of theolocy, and entered ! the theological department of the University ? of the South at Sewanee. Tennessee. Forai number of years past he ha9 held the rector- ? ship of the Episcopal Church at Sumter, as j well as of those at Stateourg, Clarendon and : Bradford Spring.s In the question of the negro in the Church Mr. Kershaw sided consistently with the late j Bishop Howe. He married Miss Susan P. de Saussure, a | daughter of the. iate Gen. Wilmut G de Saussure, of this c.ty, by whom be has sev eral children. If Mr. Kershaw accepts the call it is thought that he will not take charge of the ? church for two or three months at least.? j News and Courier, Oct. 10.
