Echoes from Presbytery.

There are several items Of interest
In the proceedings Of the last Presby-
terry Of South Carolina.
Rev. l.. w. Brown, of Walhalla,
was elected Moderator, and Rev. r. P.
Burgess, of Edgefeld, temporary
clerk.
Rev. John G.. Law, D. D., read an
appropriate memorial of Rev. James
Woodrow, d. D., LII. y.
An overture was adopted looking
to the division of the South Caro-
lima Presbytery. The new Presby-
terry would occupy the territory OF
Anderson, Oconee and Pickens coun-
ties. The present Presbytery will
have 20 churches, 2,284 members,
and Is ministers. The new Presby-
terry would have 38 churches, 2,443
members and IA ministers.
The Presbytery considered the ad-
visibility Of appointing a program
committee to arrange for special fea-
lures during the meeting at Wal
halla. 1t Is often the case that by
reason of no definite program time is
lost. Then, too, special conference,
arranged before hand, on topics vital
to the church, would be of great
benefit to ministers and elders. Rev.
Il. w. Brown, Rev. j. G.. Law, d. D.,
and Rev, H. w. Gregg were appoint
ed on this committee.
The next meeting OF Presbytery
will be held at Walhalla on Tuesday
before the full moon In April; 1908.

BRIGHTER LIGHT PRospEor.
George Il. Wilson to Erect and Equip
Light Plant in Walhalla.

AT a special meeting of City Coun-
Gil last night George L. Wilson was
granted franchise to use the streets
OF the town for the purpose of erect
ing electric light poles and running
electric wires for the purpose OF fur
nishing lights for the use of the
town and the citizens.
The terms of the franchise call for
active work on the plant within 80
days, with completion within six
months from the date OF grant OF
franchise. Satisfactory rates OF
charge were agreed upon and stipu-
lated In the terms of the grant.
Mr. Wilson has for some days past
been soliciting patronage from the
merchants and residents OF the town,
and his efforts have resulted In the
securing of sufficient revenue to JUS
tify the venture.
1t Is the plan of. City Council to
light Main street with electricity at
the first, removing the present Main
street lights to the side streets, and
as 1t finds itself able, to branch off
OF Main street with the arc lights
until the whole town is furnished
with electric lights, If possible.
y Mr.. Wilson states that he will put
in first the arc lights for the town,
at the same time, preparing for the
installing Of wires for business
houses and residences, so that when
this preliminary work Is completed
the light current will be thoroughly
established, and the citizen patrons
will have their places of business
and residences connected up practi-
cally at once.
The present franchise Is the most
promising Of any the Council has
been called on to act upon, and Mr..
Wilson has this morning begun ac-
tive preparation for securing mate
rial. etc. 1t looks as though the citi-
zens can reasonably hope to see the
town lighted with electricity within
the next sixty days.

Vexation and Trouble is Caused by Mason on
 Winthop Ave. House.


 By departing from house, where he was working as a mason, with the plans and specifications for the laying of the stone work, Thomas McNally succeeded in causing the builders of the house, the Coyne Brothers, much vexation and trouble during the past week. McNally was employed by the Coyne Brothers as mason and was working on new dwelling on Win throp avenue. Last week he suddenly determined to go away. He went to Bridgeport and, it is. claimed, took the plans with him for company. Accord ing to his own story, the company didn't care to go to Bridgeport, so, he lost 1t on the way. That, at least, is his explanation of the, fact that the plans are not now in his possession.
 McNally was arrested last evening by Detectives Ward and McAvoy in George street. A warrant charging him with theft has been issued, and upon that accusation he is now held
 The plans, according to MT. Coyne, were worth between s5 and $1O, intrin- sicallys but the vexation and trouble caused in consequence of their loss and the fact that there was no duplicate was very great. It was explained that the plans had each stone and it's posi- ton numbered, and the loss of these
