The Inter County Normal Institute, for
white teachers, to be held in Greenville
from June 25th to July 9Th, promises to
be one of the largest and most successful
Institutes ever held in the State, and none
of our teachers can afford to miss 1t. In
the selection of the Faculty, great care has
been taken to secure the best and most
practical lecturers. Railroad rates haYe
been reduced to four cents per mile for
round trip to teachers presenting teachers
certificates to depot agents. Board can
be had at so cents per day in private fami-
lies. Our School Commissioner is very
much interested in the Institute, and will
give any information in reference to it.
The Greenville Entsrise and Moun-
taiiacer, of last week, says 81. 6. Clink-
scales, the present School Commissioner
of Anderson County, has published card
in the INgEL11aENoER stating that he will
not at the coming election again offer for
the office. This determination on the
part Of Mr.. Clinkscales is to be regretted,
as he is a most efficient and useful official.
The pablic service, we fear, will suffer by
his retirement. It is our opinion that by
his industry, energy and zeal in the cause
of popular education, the system of pub
lie schools in Anderson County has been
greatly strengthened and elevated hence
our regret at seeing him retire from the
Office at this time"

and Dunbar was represented by Harry
Blease, Esq, of Newberry, After tho
Council had closed its evidence, the defen-
dant was put on the stand and testified to
the effect that the witnesses for the Coun-
Gil did not see him gamble, and that he
did not gamble while they were present.
Mr.. Brown then. asked Dunbar if he
played cards that night for money. To
this his counsel objected, as it tended, or
might tend, to criminate himself. Mayor
Tolly ruled that the question was proper
question, and that Dunbar should an
swer, whereupon Dunbar said, "Well,
