Views and Interviews Sunday evening
about killing two COWS on a trestle
near Clyburn last Saturday morning.
There were two cows on the trestle
and l knocked one off, killing it in
stantly. The other one, L thought
was knocked off on the fireman's side,
but it was knocked down and went un-
der the engine. l had started off up
the hill and looked back and saw
cows leg sticking from under the en-
CINE. 1 stopped as quickly as possible
because l knew that if 1 went on 1t
would derail me. 1t took the train
crew some little time to get the COW
from under the pilot. She was still
alive and was killed by the baggage
master"
Has a Brief Rest.
81 am having a complete rest these
few days." remarked Auditor Love to
Views and Interviews few days ago
I'VE have been busy in this office
since January of last year, first with
taking the returns, then with equaliZa-
ton and then with further adjustments
by the tax commission,
ut was not until last week that 1
was able to get off my abstract of du-
plicate to the comptroller general, and
even since I sent it off there are still
further adjustments to make.
But now I am doing almost nothing
except looking up an occasional return
on account of somebody who thinks
there has been mistake in the amount
of his taxes, and indexing a few trans
fers of real estate; but of course it is
desirable that 1 stay about the office
and that do pretty well.
1.-The regular annual routine starts
again in January and am ready for
it."
Business a Little Slack.
Saw Magistrate r. L. A. Smith of
Broad River township in YOrkville last
Friday. Magistrate Smith has the
reputation Of being the most active
prohibition law raider in the county
He knows all the hills and hollows in
Broad River township which is full of
hills and hollows, and he knows about
everybody who makes moonshine il
uuor. Not only that, he is always ready
to move whenever he learns of the
activities of these people.
Reckon you could get up little
Christmas moonshine?" asked him
Always ready for a joke the magis-
trate smiled good naturedly; but said
he could hardly make it.
why you have plenty Of it out
there have you not?" 1 bantered.
"Of course there is always some; but
l got three worms this last week, and
I think business i, just little slack
this week No, goodness gracious,
don't understand me to say that there
is nothing doing. The chances are that
some of them are running somewhere
in the township right now; but any
how | believe business is a little slack
for the present. However, I will let
you know when l break up another
outfit"
A Bad Hole.
There IS one of the worst holes that
I know Of anywhere in town." said a
gentleman to Views and Interviews
Sunday afternoon as we were stlollins
along the Southern railway track just
beyond the Lockmore mill village 81
have known that hole for years, and it
has always been a bad hole. have
known dead dogs, dead cats, chickens
pigs and other dead animals taken out
of that hole II is n veritable hole for
drowning of cats and puppies, and
have known whole litters of puppies
and kittens to be drowned there"
"Wen, l wonder why the rail folks
don't drain it,"
at is hardly up to the railroad, I
guess" said the gentleman. "YOu see
tie railroads right-o of-way only runs to
the edge OF that hole and as / under
stand it the railroad hasn't any right
to go beyond its right and
suppose it is up to the owners of the
property through which the ditch
runs from that hole"
"Is this hole in the town limits?
asked Views and Interviews.
'Yes. YOU see the town limits are
just beyond those two white posts
that you see down the track?' re-
piled the gentlemen. as he pointed to
two white posts down the track hur-
drcd yards or more away. "But really
for the benefit of the health Of the
people out this way that hole ought TO
be drained"
The Town of Monck's Corner.
Ever been to Monck's Corner ask
cd a prominent citizen OF the county
recently from there, Of Views and In
tcrviewS.
Views and Interviews had to answer

American Revolution, and the county
seat of Berkeley county since the crca-
ton Of that county out Of what was
once the very large county Of Charles
