Under the leadership of Prof. Sam uel A. Baer, Ph. D., Superintendent of the Florence Graded Schools, this In stitute opened in the York Street School building on the Tth instant and Remained in session till Friday the Kith inclusive. School Commissioner Harley and County Examiner, M. B. Woodward, were present at tile Opening session, Which was conducted in the following order: * Cali to order, by Dr. R. H. Harley. Instrumental and Vocal Music. Prayer, by Rev. \ v . It. Coles. Introduction of Prof. Baer, and Ad dress of Welcome by Mr. M. B. Woodward. Mr. Baer made a brief response to Mr. Woodward’s address and at once entered upon his work. W. R. Coles was appointed Secretary. The roll was made out which showed to be present sixteen teachers. The atten dance during the session reached thir ty-six—thirty from Aiken County and six from Barnwell. The daily ses sions were from 9 A. M. tol P. Si. The work of the Institute embraced the consideration of How to Study, Principles vs* Methods,English Gram- hier, Oral and Written, Psychology as applied to Teaching, School Organiza tion, Reading, Arithmetic, Oeogia- phv, Language, History. These subjects were treated in a scholarly maimer, being carefully analyzed, clearly explained, and tin best method of teaching them enforc ed by pointed illustrations. On Thursday night the 15th, Mr. Baer delivered*)) lecture to a large and appreciative audienceon “Educational •T orccs. ’ ; An entertaining, interesting and profitable feature of the work origina ted in the “Question Box,” into which many questions were dropped from day to day by persons whose name.- did not appear. The consideration of these questions was humorously called THE EXPERIENCE 'MEETING. Well some of the questions and answers elid produce a lively "expe rience.” We reproduce a few of the Graniteviile Items. From Our Regular Correspondent. GraniteviimE, 8. C. ^ July 19, 1880.) All the schools have closed, and the scholars are now enjoying their vaca tion. The public school closed on the 9th and the Academy on the 12th instant. The Knights of Labor have formed an organization hero with a member ship from eighty to one hundred strong, and are rapidly increasing among the employees in the factory. Mrs. Cadle died on Thursday July loth at the residence of her daughter. She was at an advanced age and a great sufferer. The funeral services were conducted by Revs. Btdgman and Cornish, and her remains were interred in the cemetery here. Mr. and Mrs Corley lost another grown son from Typhoid fever on Fri day, This makes too fourth chilld that has died in the course of a year.

The young men fairly outdid thcmsevieaand filled the handsome and spacious garden of Mr. Coursey, with a large crowd of agree able people. Mrs. Coursey assisted by her daughters entertained all their guests charmingly and need we say how every one enjoyed themsel .*os, or how delicious the watermeions were, or how rapidly they disappear ed.

On Salnnlay la t tlie protracted meeting commenced at the Spring Bra:, u U eh conducted by the pas tor, ILv. f. H Moseley, and assisted 1>3' the Iluv. Mr. Stroud and the Rev. Peacock. On Sunday morning at ten o’clock a large congregation was gath ered at the church and prayer meet ing was engaged in. Scriptures were read by Mr. Stroud, and a splendid sermon was preached, to which the congregation gave their undivided at tention. Owing to the rain on Sun- da\'evening there was no preaching, but on Monday we had a larg<-congre gation, and Monda3 r evening, after an able sermon, several came forward to be pray ed for, and after prayer the ’’door of the churchjwas opened, ami seven young men came forward and united with the church. After preach ing Tuesday morning the door of the church was opened, and one member was received into the church, thus making eight in all, and all young- men and schoolmates. The meeting went on Wednesday and until Thurs day. Thursday morning at half-pas- nino o’clock a large crowd had gath* ered at the old KitchingsMill,near the church, and the candidates were bap tized, thus eight voung men followed the example of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And now, my dear friends, that y r ou have forsaken the wicked ways of the world and have accepted the doctrines of Christ, you should put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the sins of the devil. After the baptising was over the congregation retired to the church, and heard a sermon from their wor thy pastor. Rev. W. H. Moseley. It was an able sermon and was preached to the young convert^. He toldThem their duty, v/hut they* should do and what they should not do, and if they on y take the advice of their pastor tli a* will find a reward not onjy in tin’s world, but in tho world to come. Thus after six day-s meet ing it closed on Thursday*, and it was very gratifying to our pastor to see the great interest that was taken in the meeting by* all. We had large congregations both day and night. Edisto. Wliito Pond Items. Correspondence of The Aikek IlEconoEn. White Pond, S. C., } July 10, 18*G.f The protracted meeting commenced here Saturday*, continued until Wed nesday last. After the Sunday-school address by Colonel Drayton the con gregation were detained by a Jieavy rain, until nearly night, when at an opportune moment the pastor an nounced them dismissed until 11 a. m. next day. Taking advantage of the “slack” a gentle rush was made for home. A few, however,remained until the next shower. r J h *se who started were ‘caugot in a rain’ and got a good wetting. On Monday the congrega tion was unusually large and continued so throughout the meeting. Rev. D. W. Key, of Williston, rendered val uable assistance coming on Monday- evening and remaining until Tuesday evening, preaching three able ayd practical sermons with a very happy < fleet on the church and congregation. On Wednesday after the morning ser vice, the congregation repaired to the “baptismal waters” and nine happy converts followed their Savior in bap tism. All young except one, and .all from the Sunday-school but one. Two were restored to fellowship. Making eleven accessions to the church as the result ot the meeting.—future results y*et unknown. I wish before closing my* account of the meeting to speak of Colonel Dray ton’s address before the Sunday- school as one of its features. At the hour appointed there was a good con gregation assembled. Colonel Dray ton’s address was appropriate and in spiring. It was listened to with in terest by the audience, and pronounc ed by ail as good. Another stnkingfeature of the meet ing which deserves mention is, the marked improvement iq the atten- lance of the membership of the church. Notwithstanding the condi tion of the crops on account of the excessive rains, they with one accord left their “worldly cares” and came up to the house of tin* Lor i to “wor ship at his feet,’ ami l think to-day. they' are conviuced that it pays. Everybody had plenty to do, but they left it for the time and we had a goou irteeting; ail revived aud ready for the work.
