We regret exceedingly that our limited space prevents us from saying something Id addition to what can be found in the official report of the proceedings of the Teacher's In stitute which was held in Sumter last week. The daily sessions were enjoyed by ail who at tended them. Undoubtedly it was a grand success and School Commissioner. Wilder is entitled to uustinted praise for the same. The correspondent for the Manning Times says that "other subjects were discussed in formally, and tbe question box was a source of much amusement and information. One question was, "What courtesy should exist among teachers in receiving scholars from other schools ?' This was admirably replied to by School Commissioner Wilder, and we wish we could give you his language. He said that no respectable lawyer or physician would endeavor to entice clients or patients from another lawyer or physician, so no res- j pectable honorable teacher would ever so lower ; himself or herself as to try by offering lower i rates or other inducements, to get the pupils Of another school into his own Such a prac tice is unworthy any honorable person." Proceedings of the Teacher's In stitute Held in Sumter, S. C. Monday, Aug. 22, ISS7. The Institute was called to order by School j Com'r J. T. Wilder. After the opening ex- j ercises, consisting of singing and prayer, Mr. j H. F. Wilson, a prominent member of the j Sumter Bar, delivered, in behalf of the com- ; muuity, in his usually happy style, an ad- ! dress of welcome to visiting members of the j Institute, which was responded to by Dr. Baer, of the Florence graded school, who took occasion to give the audience a very clear idea of the character and objects of in stitute work. The enrollment of teachers was then made, j showing from Sumter 32 teachers, Clarendon ! 9, and Darlington 1 : Total 42. The regular programme was then taken up [ and Prof. Stokes occupied the stage, discours ing upon t:?usy Work in the Schoo! Room," followed by Dr. Lander, of the Williamston Female College, on ''Primary Arithmetical Instruction." The subject "To what extent pupils should be assisted in their work," was next called, and discussed by Prof. J. C. Lanbam, of Sum- j merton. in an elaborate essay. evening. Miss Claude M. Girardeau took up "Read- j ing," illustrating the i?se of tbe chart as a means of instruction. Jiss Girardeau was ' followed by Dr. Baer, who favored the Insti tute with a most interesting, instructive, and practical addressupon :-School Management." Adjourned to meet at 9 o'clock, A. M. Tuesday, Aug. 23. The Institute opened with singing and prayer. The first subject for the morning, viz : \ "Fractions," was taken up by Prof. S. A. \ Nettles of Manning, who discoursed upon the j best methods of imparting instruction in ; fractions, accompanied with illustrations on ; the black board. Dr. Lander followed on j -Addition and Multiplication." and Dr. Barr i on The Best Method of Teaching Geogra- ; phy to Beginners " It would be useless in a mere abstract like ! this, to undertake to do fu!t justice to ; he thorough- manner in which those subjects were respectively treated. I: would be neces sary to hear, in order fully to appreciate. Recess?After which Prof. Stokes took up ! again his unfinished subject of "Busy Work j in the Schoo! Room." at the conclusion of which Prof. Lanbam delivered ah interesting e>say on "How can Class Criticism be con ducted, to be most Profitable ?" The Institute wns then entertained for a : brief period by Miss Claude Girardeau with some remarks on "Elementary Exercises in Calisthenics." After some remarks and valuable ?;izze$ tions from Dr Lender, the subject of "School : Organization," was taken up and treated bv i Dr. Baer. evening. The evening exercises consisted of two lec- ! tares, the first by Dr. Lander, on "Common j School Education, and Popular Objections to \ to same." This address was a strong appeal j in behalf of the publicschool system, and was j followed by Dr. Buer on School Management. J Adjourned. Wednesday, Aug. 24. \ The opening exercises concluded, Prof, j Stokes opened the programme for the dav. ! taking for his subject "English in the Pri- j mary School," and was followed by Dr Baer i on Elementary Geography, including map drawing. Dr. Baer never fails in command ing the attention of his audience. His s:v!e is at ence e?sy and attractive, his me: hods eminently practica!. i Dr. Lander continued his illustrations in : Multiplication aiid Substruction. The Insti- : tute has learned by this time what to expect j when Dr. Lander rises. Modest in manner, profound in learning, he usually analyzes?! thoroughly every subject he touches, it is : difficult to determine which of these gentle- j man has secured the strongest hold on the ? members of the Institute. Recess?"What should be the Guiding j Principle in Assigning Lessons?" This sub- ; ject was treated in a very able, and interesting manner by Prof. J. C. Lao ham, who w;ts fol lowed by Prof. Nettles with a continuation of ' his subject, "Fractions." evening. The Institute was addresseed by Prof. Ban- j h*ra on "Literature in &e Common Schools,'' ! followed by Rev, John Kershaw on the suo- | j-ct of "Character, and Character Building." ! The eloquence and earnestness which charac- | terized the delivery of this address, could be! equalled only by the importance of the sub- | ject under consideration, while the argument- j ative power, and elegance of style, render j it one of the finest ever delivered before a ' Sumter audience. Total enrollment at this time, sixty-five. ! Thursday, August 2D. After lite usual opening exercises. Prof. : Stokes took up the first subject on the regular j programme, viz : "Language in the Higher j Department," and was followed by Miss C. i M.

The regular programme for the evening j commenced with elementary exercises] in Calisthenics by a class of small children under the direction of Miss C. M. Girardeau. The proficiency exhibited r.v h:^ : iittle class was creditable alike to teacher and pupils. Dr. Grier of Erski'-e College, v. ho was np- : poised to lecture this eveu?ag-, being un avoidably absent, his place .vas supplied bv Dr. Lander, wiili an address on "practical ; Physiology for the School an ilome." who evinced his ability to make interesting this ; usually cry subject. Followed by Dr. Baer, on "Object Teaching." ; Friday,. August 20. The Institute met at usual boon Prof. Lanbam commenced tbe regular order of the day. by delivering an essay on the "Formation of Habits " The rare excellence of this paper induced the Institute to request its publication in trie Carolina Teacher, and also in the Watchman and Southron. Dr. Lander after some rem irks and exer cises in pronunciation, took up Proportion, Simpleaud Compound, giving [Illustrations j of some new methods for solving problems under these rules. Dr. Baer next addressed the Institute on '-Recitations," the manner of conduct-ng, and objects thereof after which j the meeting took a rtcets, i On resuming the work of the day, Prof. Bonham concluded his discourse on "Litera ture in the Common Schools." followed by Miss C. M. Girardeau, on the subject of colors. A very important and interesting feature of the exercises of the week was the Question Box, which was opened daily, and the ques tions contained assigned to members of the Institute, to be answered. Some of these gave rise to considerable discussion. Par ticularly was this the case with one assigned to Prof. Stokes relating to a ''System of Re ward and Punishment." evening. The exercises of this evening began by call ing over a list of general topics for discussion, and assigning each Jo 8ome person for reply : ' Duties of Trustees," responded to by Dr. L?nder: "South Carolina School Law," by School Commissioner Wilder; "How to Se cure More Regular Attendance of Pupils," by Dr. Hughson - "Use of the Dictionary," by X. G. v.'sleen ; "How to Induce Teachers to Attend the Institute," by Dr Auld ; "Hov shouid Unprepared ; Lessons be Treated?" bj Dr. Baer. Other questions were answered by Mr. G. H. Mo?se and Rev. Mr. Bowman. Recess?Order being resumed, Prof. Lan bam offered the following. Resolved, That it is the sense of this Insti tute that there should be established some where in this State :i Normal School for the education and training of white teachers of both sexes, and that our Senators and Repre sentatives in the State Legislature be hereby respectfully requested to use their influence to have such an institution established at the earliest date possible " The resolution receiving a second, was car ried unanimouslv by a rising vote. Mr. C. H. Mo?se o??ered the following : Resolved, That it is the sense of this Insti tute that corporal punishment should be abolished in the public schools of this State." An amendment was offered to this resolution by Dr. Lancier, by adding thereto the words "whenever practicable." The resolution as amended was seconded and carried. Dr. D. J. Auld, by request of the ladies of the Institute, offered the following which was unanimously carried : Resolved, That the thanks of the members of this Institute be tendered to Drs. S. A. Baer and S. Lander, and their corps of able assistants for the very earnest and entertain ing manner in which they have conducted the exercises from first to last, with the wish that next Summer we may all assemble again and enjov another "Feast of Reason and flow of Soul." The following certificate was given to teachers who bad attended three or more days : INTER-COUNTY TEACHER'S INSTITUTE for sumter and clarendon c0untje3. Sumteh, S. C, Augu*t, 1887.

D., Principal. J. T. WILDER, School Cora. Sumter County. P. G. BENBOW, School Com. Clarendon County. The Secretary was requested to furnish an abstract of the minutes to the Sumter and Clarendon papers with tbe request that it be published. After a few closing remarks by Drs. Lan der and Baer, tbe meeting sang, "Blest be the tie that binds," after which the benediction was pronounced by Dr. Lander, and the meet ing adjourned. And thus closed one of the most interesting and successful Teacher's In stitutes that it has ever been our privilege to attend. J. DIGGS WILDER, Secretary. Explanation. Mr. Editor: In response ton request by some of the lady teachers to explain, who, it seems misinterpreted the remarks which I made upon the "School Law and Teachers' Reports" the lust night of the Institute ses sion, I will state that it was far from my pur pose to reflect upon any of our teachers, for I sincerely believe that our teachers are as a whole zealous and coccientious workers and are doing the best they possibly can under the circumstances. I was speaking to these topics in n general way. and in reference to the con dition of th* Sumter School, the present teach ers, at the time, did not occupy a place in my mind. As to the Reports, reference was had more particular';.- to the present form of the reports than to the accuracy of the teach er's reports by these forms. Some of the ideas were complex in Their nature, and hence produced ambiguous language which is often the case in extemporaneous speeches. To illustrate, when I sa:d "school" in refering to the Sumter Schoo i I used a term which ap plied, or is applicable, to the whole school machinery including building, teachers, etc., whereas I had reference to the condition of the building and the surroundings. Oh, me tonymy! Very respectfu?y, Jas. T Wjldkr. [From the Derrnot [A'./*.] Enterprise Aug. 18.] Gilbert?Fulton. Rev. II M Gillerl and Miss Clara E.

OFFICE IN REAR ROOM OF BUILD ing occupied by Haynswortb k Cooper. Jan. 27._ 6 THE DARKEST HOUR, For a period of four years I've been a vic tim of a severe and agonizing case of Sail Rheum, which affected my hands to such au extent that they almost became a burden. My hand became raw and horrifying, com pelling me to keep it covered all the time. V re spent hundreds of dollars for various preparations, but instead of benefitting my condition, they all seem -d to stimulate and encourage the progress of the misera!.le dis ease, until I had about given up all hope. But thank heaven, "the darkest hoar is just before day." and I am rejoiced to know that a positive cure ha? been found, which is known as B. B. B.?Botanic Blood Balm. My family all rejoice at its magical curative powers in giving me relief. My hand has been cured and resembles a burnt surface after being healed over, more than anything else. It has also cured my two children of a loathe some form of Itch which had resisted ail pre vious treatment. I reff-r to any business house in Moody and to Thomas Payne. Drug gist, of whom I purchased the goods. Sign ed, W. A. Brvast: Moody, Texas, April' 27, ?88S. FLESH SLOUGHING OFF IN PIECES, For two years I have been confined to bed with a loathsome form of Blood Poison, which i had about eaten me up, and I and others had no hope of a recovery. For a while I could neither walk, sit down, nor lie down, only in misery as my fiesh seemed to be falling off my bones in pieces as big as a hen egg. My ap petite was lost, rriy bones ac-hed and pained me. and'friend3 even shunned me. I used various blood purifiers wthout benefit, and several physicians treated me until large sums of money had been expended, but not one par ticle of good did'any one give me. Un the 9th of February, 188?, Mr. F. R. Jackson called to see if I was not dead, as it was thought f could not endure my suiTering much longer, lie concluded to try B. B. B. on me and got a bottle from Mr. Brochington, at Beaufort, S. C., and before one bottle had been used J commenced gaining strength, my appetite improved, sofes commenced healing and when two bottles had been used I was on my feet and walking around to the astonish ment of everybody.
