FALL MEETING OF
.PRESBYTERY
1t was Held at Ora Last
Week.
GOOD ATTENDANCE.
The Presbytery Embraces Churches In
Several Counties in This State and
Few in Georgia and Florida.

ORA, Oct. 17th-The Second Presby-
terry of the Associate Presbyterian
Church, which met with the Church at
Ora on last Friday and Saturday had a
very pleasant and successful meeting.

i'll Anderson, Abbeville, Newberry,
Greenwood, Laurens and Spartanburg
counties in this State and also few
Churches in Georgia and one in Florida.
There were twenty-seven delegates
present, seventeen ministers and ten
elders.
The reports that came up from the
Churches evidenced good degree of
progress in all departments of Church
work. There was net gain in MEM
bership of seventy-seven. This was
not so large as in 1904, but yet ind-
Gated steady growth. The contribu-
tions to home and foreign missions
amounted to something more than
$4,000. This does not include what was
given by Ladies' and Children's Socie-
ties. 1t is about $1.50 per member
not as much as we should give by a
great deal. 1t might be said that there
have been many individual gifts to
missions that would swell the $4,000
considerably, not included in the Church
reports. A call from Barlow, Fla,
was presented to Rev. w. A. M. Plaxco
of Clinton. 1t is Mr.. Plaxco's purpose
to accept this call at an early date. A
call also was presented to r. A. Lum-
mus, now in charge of the Church in
Anderson, from that congregation. 1t
is not known whether he will accept.
1t was arranged to settle Rev. j. P.
Snipes over two Churches in Anderson
county. 1t is expected that Rev. A.
j. Ransom will continue in the work IN
Spartanburg and at Woodruff.
The congregation at Ora enjoyed the
preaching of the brethren from Thurs
day night through the Sabbath.

LOCAL ATTORNEY
REVIEWS DECISION,
Effect of Judge Pritchard's Recent Order
in Laurens Cotton Mill
Controversy.

The following statement concerning
the recent decision of Judge Pritchard
in the Milliken-Lucas contest has been
given out by local counsel for President
Lucas:
"The Millikens sought on the motion
before Judge Pritchard to accomplish
three things. First, to enjoin and re-
strain Lucas from taking any further
action in State court. Second to en-
join and restrain Lucas from interfer-
ing in any manner whatever with call
ing meeting of stockholders of Lau-
rens cotton mills by the Millikens for
the purpose of electing legal board of
directors for Laurens mills to serve
the present year, and from interfering
with the right of the Millikens to hold
their stock in Laurens mills at such
meeting; and third, Lucas was required
to show cause why pending the holding
of such meeting, the affairs of the mill
should not be managed and controlled
by the old board of directors elected in
May, 1904. In other words to get the
court to hold that the meeting which
elected Lucas, in May, 1905, was in
valid. Judge Pritchard granted the re-
lief prayed for in the first paragraph OF
the prayer contained in Milliken's COM
plant, and he anjoins, by his decree,
Lucas from taking any further pro-
ceedings in the State court. AS to the
relief asked for by the Millkens, Judge
Pritchard held that he had no jurisdic-
tlon. That is, that he had no right to
enjoin Lucas from interfering with the
meeting of the stockholders, and that
he had no right to put out the new
board and put in the old board. In
other words, he had no jurisdiction to
pass upon the validity of the election
held in May, 1905, nor to take any ac-
tion in reference to any stockholders
meeting, contemplated by the Milh-
kens. This decision of Judge Pritch-
ards is simply in line with Judge Braw-
ley's decree, in which he (Brawley)
held that the action brought by Lucas
against the Millikens had been trans
ferred to the United States court and
must be tried there
The only effect of Judge Pritchard's
order is to prevent Lucas from pro-
ceeding to try his case in the State
court, but has no effect whatever upon
the possession of the cotton mill by
Lucas and his present board of drcc-
tors.

LARGE WAREHOUSE
COMPANY FORMED.
Gov. Hayward President
Of the Organization.
HALE MILLION CAPITAL
The Organization Was Effected in Green
vile Last Saturday at Full Meet
ing OF the Board of Directors.

The Standard Warehouse Company
was fully organized here yesterday.
Gov. d. c, Hayward was elected presi-
dent of the company; Ellison A. Smyth,
first vice president; Il. w. Robertson,
second vice president; Eugene C. Cath
cart, of Columbia, treasurer and secre-
tary. The headquarters of the COM
pany will be in Columbia.
For the present the Standard Ware
house Company will operate ware
houses at Columbia, Greenville Green
wood and Anderson, where standard
construction warehouses are already in
operation. The board of directors at
the meeting here considered locating
warehouses at other central points i'm
the State, where the best interests of
the cotton mills and the farmers can be
served.
There was a full meeting of the
board of directors, all of the nine men,
bers being present These were: Gov.
Hayward, Edwin w. Robertson and
August Kohn, of Columbia, j. A.
Brock and Capt. r. E. Ligon, of An
derson, Capt. Ellison a. Smyth, Lewis
w. Parker and w. H. Beattic of Green
vile and Capt. j. *. burst of Green
wood.
The board after the election of Gov.
Hayward as president and selecting
the other executive officers spent a
couple of hours going over the details
of the business and gave especial con
sideraton to the system of Offering. the
protection on the warehouse
receipt and of making it the best possi
BILE collateral.
The Standard Company has been
chartered with capital stock of $780,
600 and none Of the stock is on the
market for sale.
The idea has been with the merging
of these centrally located establish
ments TO secure the best possible adj
vantages for those who store cotton as
well as those who have occasion to ad-
vance money on the receipts.
All of the Warehouses of The COM
pany are now doing good business
and considerable cotton has already
been stored this season.
1t will no doubt be comfort to many
who have been anxious about Governor
Heyward's political success to note
that he rs taking such decided step in
the business world. The position of
president of this company was offered
him by the board of directors and the
board is satisfied that he is The right
man for the place. 1t is understood
that for the remainder of his term that

this work and that he is not to allow

to interfere with his executive duties.

had come under the butter control

more and more Dutch farmers will
adopt this system. Moreover, the Co
operative system Is: one which, has
raised the price Of dairy produce to
the producer and although it IL per-
pectly true to say the Dutch cream
cries were first started by private
owners, still in the competitions of to-
day cooperation. we believe, judging
by what we have seen tn Holland and
in other parts OF. the world. Is likely to
bring more money into the pockets of
the producer, I. whether: in Holland or
elsewhere, than any system started
by private owners. In Holland, and es-
pecially in Friesland, corporation
has increased by leaps and bounds
and combined with the, butter con-
troll" system already referred to, it is.
proving very successful to the Dutch
farming community. Considerable at
tention is also paid in Holland to the
export of meat in the carcass form,
and this is rigidly inspected, both be-
fore and after slaughtering by govern
