PREsBYTERIANs' PLANS.
Rev. w. A.. Nisbett to Present Indc-
pendent Church's Claims to Dr.

pendent Church's Claims to Dr
Fair.
Mr.. c. s. Wood returned yesterday from
the meeting of the Savannah Presbytery
at Boston. The First Presbyterian church
was represented In the presbytery by Rev
A. J. Smith and Nh Wood, and the Sec
ond Presbyterian church by Rev. w. A.
Nisbett. Revs. Smith and Nisbett are ex-
pected home to-day.
A matter of interest to the churches in
Savannah was the appointment OF Rev. w.
A. Nlsbett commissioner to assist the In
dependent Presbyterian church in prose-
cutting its call to Rev. DR.. Fair. The APP
pointment was made in obedience TO a
request from the Independent congrega-
ton. Mr. Nisbett will, If it Is found nee
essary to do so, appear before the East
Hanover Presbytery at Its meeting in
Richmond, April 20. and present reasons
for its concurrence in the request of DR..
Fair to sever his pastoral relations with
Grace church in order that he may come
to Savannah.
The attendance at the presbytery, both
Of ministers and elders, was large and
much important business was transacted
during the four days meeting. Rev. T.
".
conducted the session. The opening ser
mon was delivered by Rev. Robert Camp
bell Gilmore of Brunswick, the retiring
moderator. The sermons Thursday and
Friday nights were by ReVs. Smith of Sa-
vannah and McDOugaH of Thomasville.
1t was noticeable that nearly all of the
ministers are young men, but they are
decided in their Presbyterianism and be
neve in the old paths as evidenced by
their deliberations.
The home mission committee was asked
to explain why IL discontinued the serv-
ices Of the minister in charge of the Bos-
ton, Moultre, Abel group, and the inquiry
resulted in the ministers renouncing the
authority of the presbytery. The pres
bytery is also looking into the reason
which resulted in the resignation of Rev.
Mr.. Cook of the cambridge church. Mr..
Cook is highly esteemed by the presby-
terry and large number of his congrega-
ton.
Several important committee reports
We're made and memorial papers on the
late L. c. Vass, D. D.. and Rev r. @.
Way We're read and adopted. Four I'M
portant and decidedly interesting papers
on the Westminster confession were read
by Revs. Gilmore, Cook, Hunter and
Wood These will be published.
Several churches in the presbytery re-
ported revival of interest and general
progress. Boston was greatly pleased to
have the ministers and elders in session
there and the ministers and elders We're
pleased with the entertainment accorded
them
Before the adjournment of the presby
terry the commissi oners to the general as
semby were appointed. Revs. w. A. Mis-
bett and T. NJ Hunter. and Elders J. F.
Pelham and c. S. Wood were elected
principals and alternates respectively; one
minister and one elder being the repre-
sentation from the Savannah presby terry.

COURT MARTIAFING NO EASY JOB
Col. Lnwton Back From His Week
in Atlanta.

Col. A. r. Lawton of the First Regiment
of Infantry returned yesterday morning
from Atlanta, where he spent the whole
of last week presiding over the court mar
tial held to investigate. the charges of
Capt Kempton and the members of the
Atlanta Artillery against each other.
The verdict has been made up and
placed in the hands of the governor. 1t
viii be officially announced by him some
time this week. The members of the court
martial are pledged to secrecy until the
verdict is announced. Consequently Col.
Lawton was unable to say what
the verdict was. He said, however, that
the court martial put in ten and a half
hours a day from Monday morning until
Saturday night, concluding its work just
in time for him to catch the train for Sa-
vannah. Evidently a court martial is not
an easy matter for those engaged in it..
SO much has been said and written con-
corning the charges and counter charges
in the ranks of the Atlanta Artillery that
military men all over the state are inter-
ested in the result of the court martial,
and the announcement of the verdict will
be awaited with considerable interest.

ladies', the audience was a very pretty one
A Womans Revenge was the bill, and IL
frequent applause counts for anything the
