The Lake City school opened
Monday undersncouraging circu,n-
stances. Quite y nu0ber of pupils
were enrolled, ,and more viii come
an later. It's hoped and believed
that under Mr.. Morris this school
will revive tAe educational inter-
ests o. the town.
The injury of which we spoke i'll
last issue to Mr. M. A.Thomas from
a fall from his mule, was much
more serious than we supposed. He
is still confined to his bed very
nearly all the time and suffers con-
-xiderably, especially from his back,
which indicates that his spine was
wrenched or violently shocked.
His final recovery may be delayed
quite while.
Mr.. Thomas n. Berry, of Doves
VILE, spent several days in and
around town within the past week.
Mr.. Berry was a candidate for
railroad commissioner in the recent
primary and received Il nice vote
at this poll. lie is in the life insur-
ance business, and represents the
company IN which Mr.. Il. B. Poper
held IL policy. This policy, by the
way, was paid few days ago.
We understand that this policy had
been issued such Il short while be-
fore Mr.; Roper's death that ne hao
paid only one premium on it.
The freight service that the
Coast Line is giving us i, 10 say
the very least, unsatisfactory, and
complaints are frequent and in
Ereasing in number. The train
goes down one day auG comes up
the next. Some goo'lS that were
bought in Charleston Monday Il
week ago arrived here Thursday
evening. Two boxes 0f meat came
here one moraing, but there being
some other goods between them
and the door Of the car, they were
carried ea and brought back the
afternoon Of the next day,--thirty
six hours after they should have
hecn put off. The tobacco ware
house and pack house are often
seriously crowded by the failure of
the freightS TO move hogsheadS Of
tobacco at the proper time. More
of a similar nature could be men
toned.
MAGISTRATE CaSkins has been right
busy lately. When the crops Of cot
ton, tobacco. etc have been reaped
he gathers in his harvest, and the
,rice of cotton has no effect upon
his market. At the latest matinees
