that the right man has been selected
for the carrying on of the important
work at this college, and marked at
tention was given President Adams. A
great many improvements are being
made in the Clinton College, and DR..
Adams urged Synod for a liberal sup
port.

dressed Synod along the same lines.
He is an entertaining speaker and Syn

sible is being done at Chicora. .-Ander-

PRETTY AUTUMN WEDDING,
Miss Elizabeth GOggans and MIR. w. c.
Greenwood Married Here.

A very pretty Fall wedding was SOL
emnized at the home of Mr.. j. Wade
Anderson, East Main street, at high
noon, Thursday, October 81, the con-
tracing parties being his niece, Miss
Sarah Elizabeth Goggans, eldest daugh-
ter of the late Captain d. P. Goggans,
prominent citizen and at one time
county treasurer, and Mr.. William
Cleverly Greenwood, son of MIR. w. E.
Greenwood, pipe organ builder of New
York City and Lake Helen, Fla.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. John d. Pitts, D. D., for many
years the beloved pastor of the First
Baptist church, it being his last official
act in Laurens before leaving for
Blackwell, S. c., new field of labor.
The bride was becomingly attired in
brown travelling suit, with picture
hat to match, and carried bouquet of
roses. A large number of friends and
relatives were present who, after the
ceremony, sat down to a sumptuous
wedding breakfast. The very large
number of beautiful and costly pres
ents showed the esteem in which the
bride is held, she having been born in
this city, where she lived until four
years ago, when she removed to Green
vile with her mother, Mrs. Mary Cog
gans.
After breakfast was served the hap
py couple were escorted to the station
by large party of friends, leaving
amid showers of rice on the south-bound
train for Augusta, Ca, for a few days
honeymoon, after which they will go to
their home, Lake Helen, Fla, for the
winter. The wish Of their friends is
that they may have long, prosperous
and happy life.

SYNOD WILL MEET
IN SUMTER NEXT
The Case in Anderson Meeting Against
DIR. M. B. Grier Dismissed for
Lack OF Evidence.

Anderson, Nov. 1,-Synod adjourned
today, shortly before noon, to meet the
First Presbyterian church at Sumter
next October 20. The case against
Rev. M. b. Grier, missionary to China,
for baptizing a polygamist, was dis
missed, as South Carolina Presbytery
did not send up the complete records in
the case. 1t is doubtful if Presbytery
will further prosecute the case. No
animus is felt toward DR.. Grier by the
members of that Presbytery. 1t was a
case where principle was involved
and it's trial was merely a test case.
Synod refused to send any instructions
to the Presbytery. -Spartanburg Jour
nal, 1st.
