Abolish the Fiscal Court.

To the special committee OF the
Louisville Commercial Club; which has
undertaken a campaign for the aboli-
tion of the Fiscal Court, the Courier
Journal pledges heartily its interest
and support. The task is one that can
be accomplished, and the end in view
should interest everyone in Jefferson
county, who has an interest i'm public
affairs that are his own affairs.
The Fiscal Court system is intoler-
able. Its history is ahistOry of graft,
wasting of public funds, neglect of
public interest, Scorn of public opin-
ion. The taxpayers have been ruth
lesSly exploited through the medium
of machinery that could never be sue
ceSSful in anything but providing fod-
der for small politicians and hungry
contractors. The millions of dollars
Squandered upon public roads built
without regard to scientific principles
and upon projects undertaken in the

through competent and honest hands,
have built model roads to every far N
gate within the county boundaries.
Incompetent ''spuireS, " incompetent

erS have cO-operated in unthrift that
has retarded the progress of the cOun-
ty by keeping the public roads-the
greatest Of public utilities, in Ia

and disrepair. There is absolutely no
hope of improvement save by abolish
ing the Fiscal Court system and sub
shutting for the ''SQuireS" q compact
and responsible commission composed
Of men chosen from the county at large

NENT CITIZEN.
Former Lieutenant Governor j.
\. hindman SucumbS TO the
observation-disclosures
OVER THE DARK RIVER OF DEATH

Last Monday morning at o'clock
Columbia was thrown into the deepest
grief when the announcement came
that Gov. J. r. Hindman had died
suddenly at his residence, on Barkes-
vile street. He had been complaining
more than usual for several days be-
lore his death, but his condition was
not alarming until very short time
before his demise, his wife and son.
DIR. II. \. Hindman, being at his bed
side when the end came.
Gov. Hindman was Seventy-three
years old past, and was one of the
prominent men of Kentucky. He
was a man of honor and Christian
character, and leading spirit in the
Methodist Church of this place
Until recent years he never failed to
attend the Louisville Conference, and
was leading representative in that
body.
When the war of the States broke
out, he eSpoused the cause of the
union, enlisted i'm the 18th Kentucky
Infantry, and was gallant soldier,
soon becoming a commissioned officer.
He was in MANY hotly contested bat
ties, acquitting himself with honor in
every engagement. When the war
closed he returned home, read law and
was soon admitted to the bar.
He was born politician, represent
lng this county in the Legislature
three or four terms. and was later
elected Lieutenant Governor of Ken
tucky, making a splendid presiding
officer OF the Senate, his correct ruling
being complimented throughout the
State. He made one race for Congress,
as Democrat. and was defeated by
the late Hon. Silas Adams. the dis
trict being overwhelmingly Repubi-
can.
Gov. Hindman'S home life was
without reproach. He stood for the
right upon ali occasions, and his
strict integrity was a distinct chara-
cteristic of his makeup.
He was enterprising, ever ready to
open his purse to objects of charity, or
&c any enterprise that had for its OBJ
sect the advancement Of Columbia and
Adair county.
He has gone to his reward ana Co.
lumbia and his native county has
been made poorer He is survived by

dreds followed the remains 10 the
cemetery. When friends withdrew
from the grave the mound was cover
Ell with flowers.

other relatives.
