Agnes Scott College for the present
term, according to the announcement
today Of DR.. F. H. Gaines, president.

PRESBYTERIANS IN SESSION.
Much Interest Manifested in Meeting
This Week at Chester.

South Carolina PreSbyterianS are
manifesting great interest in the
meeting Cf s"ncd now in session in
Purity Presbyterian church, Chester.
This meeting opened on Tuesday
evening October 3, with sermon by
DR.. ]. B. Green, professor of Theolo-
gy, Columbia Seminary. DR.. Green
delivered this sermon by request in
the absence of DR.. W. H. Hudson,
who sailed few weeks ago to re-
sumo his missionary activities in
China.
The synod of South Carolina is one
of the most active and progressive
synods of the Southern Presbyterian
church. 1t now has on its roll l12
ministers, 293 churches, 34.367 mem
bers, and contributed to all causes
for the support of the church the past
wear $S63,765. The sessions of synod
continue through Friday, October 6,
and all of the churches are entitled
to representation.
Included in the program OF this
meeting are inspiring and helpful
conferences and popular meetings IN
connection with the synod's commit
tees on foreign missions, home mis-
sions and stewardship.
An interesting and encouraging
report will be made by the committee
on educational institutions of the
synod, calling attention to the very
decided increase in the contributions
of the churches during the year to
the cause of the synod's schools, ov-
er the contributions of last year.
This increase amounts to something
like $4,000, and the remarkable thing
about it is that during this year which
in some respects has been the worst
year financially in the history of the
synod, the increase over the preced-
ing year should pe greater than any
increases in the years past since the
educational institutions were put in
the budget. Each of the synod's four
institutions is full to capacity. The
Presbyterian College at Clinton is
laying plans for the erection of a
dormitory, for which an offer of $685.
900 has been received recently. Chi
cora College, Columbia, has had to
purchase additional buildings and en-
large those they already own. The
Theological Seminary has had to rent
numerous quarters outside the
grounds, to care for the largest en-
rollment in its history. Thornwell
Orphanage is always full and there
are hundreds on the waiting list that
could be taken in if there were room

Mrs. StilIman and Guy Win.

Carmel, y. v, Sept. 29.-James A.
Stillman, millionaire banker of New
York, lost his fight to divorce Mrs.
Anne L. Stillman and disown baby
Guy stillman, and was himself found
guilty of the charge he made against
his wife-the parentage of an illegi-
innate child.
1t was announced by John E. Mack,
guardian ad litem for Guy Still
man, he would ask Justice Morschaus-
er to confirm Referee Gleanson'
! findings.
1t was Justice Morschauser who
granted Mrs. Stillman a record all
money of 100000 a year, and it was
he who granted, over protest, the
shifting of the trial to Montreal last
spring.
There Mrs. Stillman presented some
of her most damaging evidence.
The report of the case, filed by
Daniel ]. Gleason, the referee, gave
to Mrs. Stillman a complete victory
in her defense of her own honor and
the good name of Guy, her three
year-old son. She was also victorious
in her counter attack against MI.
Stillman. The referee upheld her ac-
cusations that the banker had lived
with a former Broadway show girl,
Florence H. Leeds, in the manner OF
husband and wife, and that he had
acknowledged himself the father OF
two children born to Mrs. Leeds.
Through his mothers victory, Guy
Stillman retains his rights as an heir
with his two brothers and his sister
to the s6,OOO,OOO trust fund created
for them by their grandfather, the
late James Stillman.
The referee held that Mr.. Still
man had failed to overcome the pre-
sumption of legitimacy, (which is
one of the strongest known to the
law, and which cannot be overthrown
except by evidence which is stronger"
