The Attendance Was Larger Here Than in Any Other County. The teachers' institute was brought lo a close last Friday. The faculty say it was the best institute held in the Stale this year; that it was better attended by bolh teachers and spectator and the young lady teachers toere pre' ier and the gentlemen more dignified than the average. At the close of the institute Prof. Hughes expressed himself as having been very agreeably surprised at Kingstree. lie said he had been told, especially in Wanning, that the town of Kingstree was only a/'smutlv little town," and that the court house v as not fit for ladies to go into. He tound Kingstree to be a tnost hospitable place, the peop'e are refined and intellectual, and as for the court house, why. he said, it is one ot the best in the state. In all.

Kice of the Columbia Female College addressed the assemblage Thursday, night on ' The Mission of a Teacher." In an earnest .and forcible manner he dwelt on the responsibly of the * *- 4 ? Al??l '1 m i m leacner in irummg cuuuiui, impressing ou teachers that the early influences exerted on children existed through life; that they, the teachers, were necessarily in a measure responsible for the spiritual life of the child. On Friday afternoon the institute closed. The interest of the people grew as the week advanc ed, as was shown by the constant increase of the attendance. Not a little of the success of the institute is due to Mr. N. D. Le<esne, the popular and efficient superintendent cf education. It was he who selected the fine lac and through his insfrunienfFalily that I he distinguished visitors or I lie week were here.
