ley had no pistol. The Chief JUS
tice also swore he put the pistol in
his pocket to use on the newspaper
man If he refused to publish re-
traction. If we leave out the EVIL
dent intent to commit murder, such
unblushing violation of the pistol
law is inexcusable in Chief Jus.
tice, who has taken most solemn
oath to uphold the law. Such a
man is a disgrace to his party and
his state. His resignation should

We d. not mean to make War

what we have said, or what we
may say in regard to reducing the

believe it is good thing. Nor dc
we mean to say that the work.

boarded at as small a price as they
can in Knox or Hamilton for the
reason that there are not so many

that the county court could greatly
reduce the price paid for board in
this county and still give the per.
son boarding them a good profit.

COURT COSTS.


In considering the increased cost
Of our Circuit Court we must not
lay all of the blame on the Judge
and other officers of the court. We
must place a great deal of the
blame upon the democratic legis-
lature as the laws passed by that
body recently have added greatly
20 the burden of the counties and
taken it off of the State. ia
A law was passed which compels
the County TO pay all costs in all
cases except these actually passed
upon by jury. The State only
pays the cost of those passed upon
by a jury and the defendent is
either found guilty or innocent
This of course adds many bills OIL
cost which have here to-fore been
borne by the State.

county which has greatly added t.
