we are pleased TO state that our efficient
echooi Commissioner, Mr.. r. w. Todd
VINO Is ever watchful OF our educational
interests, is now making efforts to ascertain
the number of persons for whom lie can
OBTAIN board in the city and at what prices.
80 .nat lie can lay before the Board when ii
meets next week in prCper form on appl.
cation from our citizens for the meeting to
ne heid at this place. With the assurance
that the number Of persons who will likely
attend the Institute, which will be two or
thTee hundred, can obtain board at reason.
apie prices here, we believe the Board
%ouiu select Anderson as the place for the
Institute, for if it is desired 10 have the
meeting In tho up-country. surely there is
no place better entitled to it. The building
OF the Collegate Institute is admirably sit.
uated Tor such meeting, and is sufficiently
commo modious for all purposes. We are set
ished that i'll no respect is Anderson q less
laVorapie place Tor the Institute than any
OF tne other up-country towns or cities
We sincerely hope our citizens will fullv
Tealize our opportunity and give the School
commissioner every encouragement posi-
pie In bis efforts to secure the selection of
Anderson us the place for the meeting this
summer. The advantages TO be derived
rom the institute by our people are indeed
Tho
midst of two or three hundred ladies and
gentlemen for O. month will put several
thousand dollars into circulation and com.
ing as they will from every county in the
State, splendid opportunities will be Afford
cd lot showing to the very best class of our
people the superior advantages of our coun-
~, which is the garden spot of the State.
The very best talent in the whole country
will be employed to conduct the Institute.
and the advantages in literary point of
view that will ensue to oil our citizens who
can attend and listen to the lectures. both
day and night. will be very great. The
good results Of the Institutes held at Spar-
tanburg and Greenville are fully realized bv
the citizens of those cities, and they are
consequently endeavoIing to secure the ono
this year, and if We would succeed i'm our
efforts to have it. prompt and decided action
for this end should be taken. There is no
time to lose, and we hope none will be lost.
~"A SisiHSioi We tiuot, iully appreciate the
Importance OF this matter, and will not fail
to do all that is their power to achieve so
desirable an end. Every family which can
possibly do SO should arrange with tile
School Commissioner to take Us many
boarders as possible, and to ensure success
the price of board should be put down to
the very lowest notch, graduated in price
according to the number in @ room and the
quality Of board. From ten 10 fifteen dol.
lars per month is all that need be expected,
and if our people are not willing to put
prices down to the very lowest notch, we
will not get the Institute. We need not
expect to make money out of it, for there
are other places which appreciate Its adyan-
tages sufficiently TO be satisfied with mod
crate financial compensation. Anderson
should put prices down and offer equal ad-
vantages with other places. and then she
will be successful in her invitation
