In order to forward business,
to vote intelligently, and to do
the work for the best interest of
the county, and in order that the
people Of onr county may be up
with the workings of the County
Court, there ought to be a means
by which all this can be done. and
at present l can think of no other
means by which this can be done
than the publishing of the bnsi-
ness intended to be acted upon
say some two or three weeks pre-
vious to the meeting of the Coun.
ty Court. But in order to do this
the County Court would have to
rule that every topic should be on
file some 20 or 80 days before the
meeting Of each court. Why l
recommend this means is because
it will speed the business of each
court, and business will be taken

Jack Chin on Pistols.

Some Sound Views.

Here is what Col. Jack Chinn
who was with Senator Goebel
when he was shot down on
the streets of Frankfort, KY,
has to say about the practice Of
pistol carrying.
1T is not apleasant practice,
and is not good for the state, If
they would let me draw up a
law | would stop it.
How would | do it? In the
first place | would legalize du-
cling, but | would make it a
capital offense for two men to
fight within twenty-four hours
after a quarrel. That would
make them sleep on the propo-
sition, and there would be very
few fights. | would also make
it an offense punishable by ten
years III the penitentiary for
any man to carry a concealed
weapon or draw it in a public
place. We have law here for
carrying weapons, but it is not
effective.
Il want to say that ninety
nine cases out Of a hundred
where a man is killed in a street
fight here it is nothing more
than assassination. One man
has everything on his side and
the other nothing"
