A GOOD RECORD.

During the recent term of cir cult court there was assessed in fines a total of S2,08 20, of which amount Sheriff Lancaster has col lected in cash Sl.973 50, and the balance of Sl14 50 is being served out by Henry Peel and Will Wash ington, both negroes. Of the amount collected more than S1, 300 was fines for the illegal sale of whisky. The sheriff refused to take notes in every instance, and the result is that the county is sev- eral hundred dollars ahead.
 Sheriff Kaneaster probably has the best record of auy sheriff in this section in the way of doing business on cash basis. -- Bates vile News.
