Editor Onxnycburg Times: During the past week tlie insti tute has iiceu steadily sit work, and has now completed the third week of its session. Though so near the close of the session, the number is daily augmented by new arrivals, so that at present, there are in attendance :U:i teachers representing nil parts of tlie State. Our beloved Principal and his as sistants have been earnestly at work, endeavoring to implant in the. minds of the teachers t he best methods of teaching, and to arouse in their hearts such an enthusiasm for their pro fession as will bear abundnnt fruit in better methods and better teachers all over our State during the ensue ing year. Last Friday evening was the occa sion of a most agreeable lawn party given to the teachers in the extensive grounds of the Baptist Church. It was largely attended both by teach ers ami citizens, there being several hundred persons on the grounds, and has conduced much to bringing the two together, and extending the social fi attires of the Institute. During the past week the Institute win honored by a visit from one. who. in the words of .our worthy Principal 'is the ablest of philpsoplrcal think ers on education in the world." Dr. Harris of St. Louis. During his stay be delivered to the Institute (luring its daily sessions, two lectures on "Moral timl Intellectual Education," and a public lecture in the Opera House. 1 bough by no means nil o "ator, so char and forcible are his arguments, and so valuable his t louglits, the result of years of thought and experience, that be cnti ll :>l fail to interest and benefit his audiences, as was evinced on the oc casions mentioned. The Institute was also addressed during the week by Dr. Puriuau of the University, "that Nestor in Kdu cation in South (Carolina11 who gave to the teachers inucli valuable, jnfor ma (ion derived from Iii? expcriciicv both.as a pupil and :is a teacher. The most interesting feature Of the Instituteat present; is the course id lectures on the English Language by Di'. Joy lies. So interesting mid in structive :ire his lectures that each day the robin is crowded by teaeher. aud visitors, no one being willing to lose his valuable instruction. To one unacqtianted with the Language, bis manner of dealing with inllee Hons, ease-endings, plural f?rihs, comparatives and superlatives would seem rash and inconsistent with the rules of Grammar; but to one who has kept pace with the advances in that direction, it seems not only tea sonable but the truly correct way. The interest manifested by the teachers and their appreeial ion of the et forts made for their improvement may be seen in the amount of extra work undertaken. In addition Id the regular morning session, large afternoon classes have been funned iu calisthenics by .Mrs. JtidsOn, Drawing, by Prof. Hi cm nun, and writing under Prof. Perry,?the teachers being willing to sacrifice their hours of recreation in order to gain instruction which they may im part to the children under their charge. We are now on the threshold of lb last week of the session, which it i. hoped will prove the most intcresliii! and instructive, that the enthusiasm may increase toward the close of tin course, and that each and every one in attendance may return to his work renewed and awakened to the digni ty and importance of his liuble call in y-. ir w i>. il'UTOX, Success. It has been quaintly said (bat noth ing succeeds like success, as if it, were not impossible to succeed without it. Shakspeare says "there is :t tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the Hood, lends (?11 to fortune." There is a time for all things, and an op portunity iu all men's lives which, il improved, moulds and fashions our future destiny, but if lost, iL is lost forever, and never comes again. How few people understand or appreciate the critical moment, the crisis, the turning point, in life, when a won), a though I, an act, will change the. cur rent and direction of business life, and makes or breaks without an ef fort. From that point it is straight sailing, cither to success or failure. SPECIAL NOTICE. PAVILION HOTEL, For the Summer months: Rales SI 50, ?2 and $2 60 per day. Aocording to Location of Room.

Editor Oriuyebav'j 'Timm: Will you allow mi! a Kin nil space in your valuable paper lor the follow: ihg: Crops in this seel ion are not as good as they were last year. Our farmers seem to be in low spirits, but we are blest now with showers, ami all vegetable mailer begins to smile and why not us? Is it because we are afraid that we cm not meet our indebtedness this Fall,or, is it on account of so much cotton planted, and such small fields of Corny I think the latter is the cause; for how can a man expect to have bread and meat, uiile^s lie raises it? Can he ex pect to prospct by raising cotton at 10 cents a pott lid, when bacon is worth as much per pound as cotton, and corn from one dollar to one and n quarter per bushel? This sec ion has bought more corn and hay this year than it did the year after Sherman's raid, and every year will gradually grow worse by this plan of planting cotton. Count up the cost and see if corn, wheat, oats and rice do not cost less than cotton. We bad a very interesting series of meetings in our neighborhood, one at Hbcky (Srpvo ('Iiureh and the other at Pleasant (lit) Church. The for iner meeting lasted ten days, two ser mons being preaelied each day by aide ministers. FJeven were eon verted and were baptized on last Tuesday evening by Bey. II. S.

ExCKltlTA. Cotton Pirk in,-;. Crops il'C. GuODI.AXD SWAMT, Gooiti.Axn Township, Aug. 18, 1881. f?tii'?r Orangeburg Thum Again the cotton picking season is upon us. We have several hales among us ready lor market at this date. The general cry is short, crops? some say one hit It' and others say t wo thirds of a crop. The yield per acre will not he so much as it was litstyear, hut we think the fulling oil' will almost bo made up by the in creased acreage in this i in mediate -cction. Wo have not suffered so much for rain as many of our neighboring sections have. The corn crop will not be a full one, having s tillered some for rain, but more for want of work generally. When we learn to prepare our lands properly, and etil tivate belter, we will hear less of short crops by droughts. _ .Much improvement has been made in farming within the past few years, but there is room for much more. Our worthy fellow-citizens, .Messrs. 15. A. Yon ;'nd Ariel Able, own good farms, and are doing much by way of improvement in farming. They are syslohiizing the farm, and make pay i hg crops. Our eiiterprizing merchanl, Mr. M. L. Gleaton, has done a heavy business, advancing to the fanners this year. His business seems to be second to none in bis line in the County. With a rise in the col ton market, which we believe is lor us, andeeono m: t zing, v.e feel assured, that times will not he so hard as is generally anticipated. Jeff. St. 35altiieus Oofs, h'di'iir Orahycbury '/Vines: This is not a dead town, nor is it a jiiiUhed town, nor are it illllibitauts ash ep. We claim to be a go-ahead people. New buildings have sprung np all over the place, this year, and carpenters, plasterers and lumber men have had a good time. Loafers are, to those who never get away front here, an unknown animal. The Trial Justice seldom has a case for trial, nil less it is im ported from tIn" country. Ol'course it has been dull and dry here, and in the vicinity during the Sit hi liter and some have worn long faces, but smiling countenances will soon be seen, as cotton is making its appearance, and most of the farmers have had a "little sprinkle." which is bound to help some if we have a late frost. We do not expect more than a half cop of cotton, and very little corn, but we hope to get a better price for the cotton, on account of it,s gen eral failure. Among the many who have been ?iiergetie in trying to make improve ments, and build up new enterprises in the town, I may mention Mr. W II. Hen lion, who believing that a good brick could be produced here, alter contending with innumerable diilieultics, succeeded at last in find ing a splendid deposit of brick ma terial, and has converted a portion of it into as line a brick, for building purposes, as can be found anywhere. Kvery one who has seen them are de lighted with '.heir ap; ea a-tce, and their qualities of strength and dur ability. 1 believe they wouid also suit well lor furnaces, as they appear to be largely com) o fed of soapstone. i examined then for lime, but did not lind a particle of t hat earth in their composition.

Friend MeSweency of the Hamp ton Guardian thus .speaks in his pap er of the visit of the Committee to Orangeburg last veek: "On Friday morning we visited Mr. George Cornel son's store aud warehouse, where we were taken in charge by Mi'. Branson (who in the absence of Mr. Cornelson is superin tending the business) and shown through the entire establishment. The building constituting the store is of brick, three stories high, and 50 by 100 feet?Mr. Cornelson being a merchant, doing a business of over $200,000 per annum, as well as a manufacturer. We found here every t hing that a farmer requires from his merchant, including furniture. After a rest and refreshment, w? were taken to the factory and there turned over to Superintendent Piercd a Rhode Island man, who thoroughly understands cotton milling in all its details, from* the engine room to the press, where the yarns are put into compact bales for shipment to New York, Boston and Philadelphia. To say that we were pleased don't do half justice to our feelings, and we came away fully convinced that the "world do move'' notwithstanding we bad left home a little muddled as to whether it was the sun or the world that did the moving at the Court House, being more than half inclin ed to believe that the Virginia color ed divine was about right when he as sorted that "thesun do move," whetu. er he could prove it or not. We will leave it to TAe Guardian of the future to prove to the good people of Hamp ton the need for a clement attachment and other progressive improvements* that will put us nearer even in the race with our sister counties. The writer paid a visit to Orange burg in 1871, ten years since, and found what we considered as slow A. town as existed in the State or out of it, with only a few stores, no hotel, no enterprise, no life and no nothing. A greater change we never witness ed. The place now docs more busi ness than Columbia our State capital with eighteen or twenty new build ings going up, most of them brick stores, two ami three stories in height and all due to a few enterprising men of the town and county, who with Mr. Cornelson, have succeeded in making Orahgeburg the pride of every citi zen of the county aud second to no eoiiuty town in the State."
