C, Aug 23 F38L Iiifitor Otungcbunj Times:. During the past week the Insti tute has been steadily at 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 .1 hi teachers representing all parts of the State. Our beloved Principal and his as sistants have been earnestly at work, endeavoring to implant in the minds of the teachers (be best, methods of| teaching, and.to arouse in their hearts such an enthusiasm for their pro fession as will bear abundant fruit in better methods a nil better teachers all over our .State do ring the ensue i hg year. Last Friday evening was the occa sion of a most agreeable lawn party given to the teachers in 'Tu; extensive grounds of the Baptist Church. It was largely attended both by teach ers and Citizens, there being several hundred persons on the grounds, and has conduced much to bringing the two together, and extending the social features of the Institute. During the past week the Institute waT honored by a visit from one. who. iii \ he words of ohr worthy Principal 'is the ablest of pliilosoph'eal think ers on education in the world." Dr. Harris of St. Louis. During his stay he delivered to the Institute during its daily sessions, two lectures on "Moral and Intellectual Education," ami a public lecture in the Opera House. J hough by no means an o 'ator, so eh ar and forcible are bis a-guments, and so valuable his t ioughts, the result of years of .bought ami experience, that he can u >t 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. Purmnti of the University, "that Nestor in Kdh Cation in South Carolina" who gave to the teachers much valuable infor mation derived iVoin his experience both as a pupil and as a teacher. Themost interesting feature of the Institute at present is the course "I lectures on the Knglish Language by Dr. .Joyncs. So interesting and in structive are his lectures that each day the room is crowded by teachei> and visitors, no one being willing to lose his valuable, instruction. To one umicquanlcd with the Language, his manner of dealing iyith inflec tions, case-endings, plural bums, comparatives and superlatives would seem rash aud inconsistent with the rules of Grammar; but to one who has kept pace with the advances in that direction, it seems not only reit sotiable but the truly correct way. The interest manifested by the teachers and their appreciation of the Utforts made for their improvement may lie seen in the amount of extra work undertaken. Jn addition to the regular morning session, large afternoon classes have been formed in calisthenics by .Mrs. Judsou, Drawing, by Prof. Kieniaiiu, and writing under Prof. Perry,?the teachers being willing to sacrillee 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 th last week of the session, which it i hoped will prove the most intorestin aud instructive, ?bat the enthusiasm may increase toward tue 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 noble t ail ing. ii. W. Pkmukkton. SuocesH. It has been quaintly said thai noth ing succeeds like success, as if if were not impossible to succeed wit bout it. Shakspearesays "there is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the Hood, leads on to fortune." There is a time for all things, and an op portunity in all men's lives which, il improved, moulds ami fashions our future destiny, but if lost, it 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 word, a thought, an act, will change, the cur rent and direction of business life, and makes or breaks wit bout an ef fort. From that point it is straight sailing, either to success or failure. SPECIAL KOTICE. ? PAVILION HOTEL, For the Hummer months: Rates SI 50, $2 und $2 50 per day. According to Location of Room. E. T.

OrtHgtbury Tiinca : Will you ill low me a small space in your valuable paper lorIbe follow: ilig: Crops in tins Keel ion are not as good as they were last year. Our farmers seem to lie in low spirits, but we are blest, now with showers, and all vegetable matter begins to smib' and why not us? Is it because we are afraid that we cannot meet our indebtedness this Fall,or, is it on account of so much cotton planted, and such small fields of corn? I tiliiil< the latter is the cause; for how can a man expect to have bread and meat, unless be raises it? Can he ex pect to pros pel by raising cotton at 10 cents a pound, when bacon is worth as much per pound as cotton, and corn from one dollar to oho and a 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 ami see if corn, wheat, oats and rice do not cost less than cotton. We had a very interesting series of meetings in our neighborhood, one at Rocky (1 rove ('hiirch and t he ot her at Pleasant Hill Church.

Never was a minister more beloved by the Chris tiah clement of the Church, or more admired by those indiderent to the cause of Christianity. J am assured that while there were, some conver sions, there were many convictions, and those members who strive to do a Christian's duty were strengthened and newly prepared to wear the Chris tian armor against Satan's rage.

Kxckiuta. Tot ion Picking, Crops Ac. goodlaxi) swamc, Goblil.ANO Township, Aug. 18, 1881. bldi'or Oruhgcburtj Times: Again the cotton picking season is upon us. We have several bales among us ready for market at this date. The general cry is short crops? some say one hail' and others say two thirds of a crop. The yield per acre will not he so much as it was iastycar, hut we think the falling oil' will almost be made up by the in creased acreage iu this immediate ?< ctidh. We have not suffered so much Tor rain as many of our neighboring sections have. The corn crop will not be a full one, having stille red some for rain, but more for want of work generally. When we learn to prepare (dir lauds properly, ami cid livatc better, we will hear less of short crops by droughts. Much improvement has been made in farming within I hi" past few years, but there is robin for much more. Our worthy fellow-citizens, .Messrs. 15. A. Von viel Ariel Able, own good farms, and are doing much by way of improvement in farming. They are systoinmiig the farm, and make pay i ng crops. Our enlerpii/.ing merchant, Mr. M. L. Cleat on, has done a heavy business, advancing to the farmers this year. His business seems to be second to none in his line iu the County. With a rise in tin; cotton market, which we believe is for us, and econo my t'zing, tic feel assured, that times will not be so hard as is generally anticipated. Jeff. SI. .lEalthcws It>o(s, I'M I lor Oedngcbiiry Times: This is hot a dead town, nor is it u jini?hcU town, mu- are it inhibit ants asleep. We claim to be a go-ahead people. I\cw buildings have sprung up all over the place, this year, and carpenters, plasterers ami lumber men have had a good time. Loafers are, to those who never get away from here, an unknown animal. The Trial Justice seldom has a case for trial, unless it is im ported from the country. Of course it has been dull and dry here, and in the vicinity during the Summer and sonic 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. Wc do not expect more than a half crop of cotton, and very little corn, biit wc hope to get a better price for the cotton, on account of it?s gen eral failure. Aiming th'emnny who have been ene.getic in trying to make improve incuts, and build up new enterprises in the town, I may mention Mr. W IL Heinum, who believing that a good brick could be produced here, after edntc.tding with innumerable dillicnllics, succeeded at last in find ing a splendid deposit of bri(ik ma terial, and has Converted a portion of it into as line a brick, for building purposes, as can be found anywhere.

Guardian thus speaks in his pap er of the visit of the Committee to Orangaburg list veek: "On Friday morning we visited Mr. George Cornel son's store and warehouse, where we were taken in charge by Mr. Brunsou (who iu the absence of Mr. Cornclson is superin tending the business) and sliown through the entire establishment. The building constituting the store is of brick,; three stories high, and 50 by 100 feet?Mr. Cornclson being a merchant, doing a business of over $200,000 per annum, as well as a manufacturer. We found here every thing 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, fronethe engine room to the press, where the'yurns 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 had 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 cd divine was about right when he as I sorted that "the sun do move," wbeth I er he could prove it or not. We will I leave it to TAd Guardian of the future to prove to the good people of Hamp ton the neeil 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, uo enterprise, no life and no nothing. A greater change we never witness ed. The place now does more busi ness than Columbia our State capital with eighteen or twenty new build ings going up, most of them brick stores, two and three stories in height and all due to a few enterprising men of the town and county, who with Mr. Cornclson, have succeeded iu making Oraugeburg the pride of every citi zen of the county and second to no county town in the.State." _- ?? ? mm When you have an inflamed eye, a swelled hand, or decayed and aching tooth, yon do not take and fill jour stomach with drugs to cure it, butap ply a cooling lotion or some soothing narcotic directly to the parts.
