Prospects for Improvement.

A city official told RECORD man the
other day that thers was a strong
probability that the town and county
woull, in the spring, unite and tear
away the old workhouse building and
replace it with new one which would
be credit to the community. This
should, by all means, be done. As the
old thing now stands it is not only an
eyesore. Tut great danger to the ex-
cellent county Jail, which is only few
feet distant 1t is fire trap of the
most dangerous kind, and is wholly
unfit for people to enter. Rats and
vermin line the walls and floors, while
there are cracks in the sides large
enough to pitch dog through. 1t has
been abandoned and now stands one
of the greatest nuisances in the town.
Should it burn, it would be next to i'm.
possible to save the county Jail.

Big Court at DanyiIle,

Circuit court convened at Danville
Monday with a large docket to be
triei. The A .vocate says Judge Sau-
aey delivered to the grand jury the
most vigorous charge heard in the
ninville court house for many a day.
The burdea of his remarks referred to
the tollgate raiders lie insisted that
the jury should sit this matter to the
bottom and spare no man against
whom damaging evidence was found
lie showed where the mob spirit
would undermine the very foundation
of the government. and said that the
esponsibility rested with the people
them selves. Had the public senti-
.nent in this and other counties been
strong enough, there would have been
very few raids. Such outlaws can be
caught if the people want to catch
them, said Judge Sauaoy. Turnpike
property has the same right as any
other property and no min has a right
to destroy it or acquire it without due
legal processes.

Col. Gather Hot,

Some confusion has been caused in
he Second Regiment, X S. e., over
he placing OF Cffl .ers in charge at the
Danville tollgate. 1t seems that Gen.
Collier asked Col. Gather to put Lieut.
Sharpley, of Frankfort, on duty, as he,
oharpley, was lille. Col Gather re-
used to do so, saying that Sharpley
vas too hasty and otherwise incompe-
tent to place over the men. A report
has since been started to the effect
that Col. Gather had placed a non
commissioned officer over the men, and
Gather believes Sharpley started the
report. This made Col. Gather angry
and he has issued an order relieving
Sharpley from any connection with
The regiment Those acquainted with
E Gather know that he is too strict
disc;p!inarian and two well up in mil
itary matters to ever place a non-com-
mission man over troops on duty where
they are more than likely to be called
upon to fire on men. A ten-year-old
boy would know better than that, and
clever E is friends will never believe
that he d such thing.

The Fiscal Court has bought the old
Danville road at the committees fig
ures, including huff the DIX river
bridge, at 1865. This leaves only
three roads collecting toll, viz: the
Richmond, the STANFORD and the Crab
Orchard. These do not want to accep:
the committees prices, and as the court
has agreed to so on that price only,
the hitch comes Tie county now
owns to date So miles for which it gave,
or has promised to give, $50, 9l5, an av-
erage Of about $3.50 per mile. The
three remaining roads consist of about
81 or rs miles. All parties interested
will meet with the Court today and
fix up .ae deeds, notes etc.

Fix for Them,

Since last issue of The RECORD we
nave heard many reports of visits to
residences in town by burglars. Only
in few instances have they succeeded
in entering houses, but they are GER
tainly abroad in the land and the citi-
zens should prepare and sleep with
one eye open. Do no shooting to
scare. but drill hole through the
trifling hide of the first one heard
prowling about your premises. 1t has
been reported that the 1898 burglar
usually chloroforms his victims, and
some believe it was done here last
week. This makes it all the more i'm
portant that strict lookout should
be kept The general belief is that
the present work is being done by To-
cal talent, who were prompted by the
work done on Higgin botham's sa' e.
The rascals know that the town has
no police protection during the middle
of the night and that they have all
chances of escaping if they only get
out of a mans house. Now, the thing
to do is buy good pistol, lay it handy
and let drive at the first son-of-a- gun
you hear. Shoot to hit; take nc
chances on the culprit returning the
fire. A man who would rob you
would not hesitate to murder you if he
thought he would not be caught up
with.
