Constable Howell came down from Florence Tuesday and captured a jug of liquor. Mesdames Rollins and Epps have closed their lodging house at 77 Washington street, Charleston, and returned home. Mr. Epps and Miss Ethel Radjrers and Mr. Julian Clark and Missj Jackie Rodders spent a portion of last week in Charleston at theex;position. We understand that Mr. W. S. Moore, who went to his old home at South Boston, Va., for a vacation just before Christmas, has been quite ill for some time. He is now j somewhat improved. A uew guard house has become andespensibly necessary and the -council has determined to build. The town owns a small lot directly in front of the school house and only a few teet from it. For three years efforts have been made to secure a lot elsewhere but every effort has failed; and at a meeting a few days ago it was about resolved to build on the lot referred to.. The , situation of a guard house there will not be very pleasant to those "who live in the neighborhood, and -?ri^ a it-ill nru^tipitllv ilwstrnv the ?uu IV f?M? |/? ??v v?v<?.v market value of the adjoining lots; "but the council has no alternative. A number of boys in town are in the habit of jumping oi> and off the trains. They get on every part of the train?. fc>oine make a specialty of riding ?he engine*; some clamber on the freight cars; and some enter the cars blocking the doors and aisles. The practice is fast becoming an intolepjIuTe n^jsance. Complaints .iiK* loud anV^umerojs. \Ve have it from one of the highest officials of the road that th:s nuisance is worse hire in Lake City than any where else along the line. The boys are both white and colored. The council passed an ordinance against the practice some time ago and for a while it was very effective,but such a sentiment finally grew up against the ordinance that it, could not be enforced. It was then repealed. The thing should bo suppressed. In last week's Record, in speaking of the pasture vfence, we said among other things that "through some misunderstanding no taxes had been assessed for raising money to rebuild and keep in repair this fence." "For fear of being misunderstood wo wish to explain this a little more fully. We understand that the county commissioners really levied the tax, but that the tax was not charged up on the treasurer's duplicate for the reason that the late auditor, who took the returns in Jrhe territory affected, through some misunderstanding or misapprehension, did not list the ' irt !*.?* fKa to v onnlJ lw* i)C.
