The Normal Institute.

Every teacher who can possibly spare
the time and money should attend the
Institute in Spartanburg. Board may be
obtained in private families at four dol.
lars week for the session. 1t will be a
little higher at the hotels. The railroads
generally give reduced rates to teachers.
The Institute will begin the 18th of July
and continue four weeks. A Secretary
will be appointed, who will make all
arrangements as to the securing of board.
The following are some of the reasons
Why teachers should attend.
lst. Teachers who are not perfect can
learn something.
I'd. They will be the better prepared 10
work after old plans or to make new
ones.
Sd. The tescher's work tends to isolate
him from his fellows and the community.
One session at the Institute will draw
him out and bring him into sympathy
and harmony with others engaged in the
same work.
4tb. They will have more exalted
opinions of their profession and work.
5th. Spartanburg is delightful place
to spend a month or two in the summer.
Good water, mineral springs, fine drives,
pleasant nights and a bracing air make
the place attractive.
9Th. An excursion to the mountains
will be made during the session. This is
q revelation of wonderful scenery, espec-
tally to persons who have never been in
the mountains. Special rates are given
to those who wish to run up on the Ashe.
vile road on Saturdays and return Mon
days. -,
7th. In few words, it may be said
that the teachers meeting in Spartanburg
this year, will be furnished with ample
means for improvement, recreation and
social enjoyment. The daily lectures by
the regular faculty, the special lectures
by distinguished educators, and the
teachers meetings will furnish an
amount of valuable information that will
compensate one for the time and money
spent in coming to Spartanburg. Let
there be grand rallyipg of the teachers
of the State. 1t will do them good

An Important Decision OF the Supreme
Z. Court.

The Supreme Court of this State has
recently rendered an important decision
in regard to the law as to the sale of
commercial fertilizers. In an action tor
s31O for eleven and half tons of Lees
Prepared Agricultural Lime the defend
ant set up failure of consideration and
that the contract was illegal as made in
violation of certain statutes, the bags
having no tags on them. On appeal
from verdict for plaintiff the Supreme
Court held the contract illegal and void
and reversed the decision below. The
court say:
"By the Acts of 1872 and 1879 = was
made misdemeanor, punishable BY fine,
for any person to sell or keep for sale
any commercial fertilizer which did not
have label affixed to each bag or other
package, specifying the name, location
and trade mark of the manufacturer, the
chemical composition of the contents of
the package, the real percentage of Ger.
tain specified Ingredients, if each are
present, the date of the analysis and that
the privilege tax Of twenty-five cents
per ton has been paid"
The court hulds that the object of the
Legislature in these Acts was not the
mere securing the revenue, but the main
object was the protection of the farming
interests from deceit or imposition in the
sale of worthless article, and though
the Legislature has not in so many words
declared it shall not be lawful to sell any
fertilizer in this State unless these regu.
lations have been complied with, still the
court holds such to be the intention and
effect of the Acts. The decision is a
good one and will 60 far to protect farm.
