THE STAR.
B;>iiKli»»viU<*, «»., January 20 1848

OUR POSITION.
Since the establishment of the
Star, six years ago, it has passed
through several diffeient manage
ments, and save being all the while
staunchly democratic, none of those
through whose hands it has passe ,
have’taken any decisive position on
any subject that has been tor the in
terests of ti e people. We know that
sometimes it is best for one to keep
mum and neutral about tilings, that
may or may not occur, but our idea
T ,, r , n • t i . of a nailer situated as is the Star, is
Hou. Will. A. bp** look well 11)10 every thins that „f-
Farmers, break your land, and
begin your preparations for another
c op. in you lies the hope of the
South, and you must be up and
doing.
the appropriation for building the
State Capitol was a bold, masterly
effort in behalf of the measure,
and in behalf also, of the main-
tainence of Georgian honor and her
credit. He is a solid, fearless and
able legislator, of whom the people
should be proud.
Two well dressed young fellows with
well filled purses, arrived at Bremen
a day or two ago, and eventually
purchased a 8 doon there and began
business. Wednesday a detective ap
peared on the scene and arrested the
men on suspicion that they hail crack
ed a safe at Logansville. One is
named Harri , and the other Stovall.
Kentucky is not quite solid for
liquor, A man 55 years of age, living
near Breen vilie, in that State, nev
, r tasieda drop of int-xicating
liquor in his life.
That was a grim joke of Sena
tor Brown, when he remarked that,
lie e as one of the few survivors of
the secession family. There’s noth-
i a coianara'nle to the mortality
which lias afflicted the prigina’
fire eaters save the sudden plague
that, in a few months swept, away all
of the free traders, A year ago, and
House by means of a fraudulent trick
Now, the last one of them swears he
was not a fne t.r ider noi anything
like it. Brown and Wattersnn can
sympathize with each other in their
loneliness and desolation.
r
Some.time ago, the Atlanta Con
stitution, published a map of Geor
gia, showing the proldbition coun
ties, and those in which liquor was
sold. To readily distinguish them
the counties that sold liquor were
represented by a black spot that oc
cupied the space and position of the
county in the nap, Douglas was
represented by the “black spot,” and
you may just bet your cravat sue
looked lonesome,surrounded by Cobb
Campbell, Carroll and Paulding-
all prohibition. Let the good peo
ple of Dc uglas rise as one man, and
like Lady Macbeth, say “out damn
ed spot,” and keep on saying it ’tilt
she “outs ”
fects the interests of the people, de
termine what is right, and then advo
cate the right with all the ability
that is in us. Entertaining this view
of the province of a county paper, we
shall lose no opportunity to discuss
men and measures,—ever taking tiie
side of the question that seems to us
most conducive to the public good.
The acts of public men, men plac
ed in positions of honor and trust by
the peop.c, are public property; the
measures proposed by sueh me i, or
the fidelity with which tney fu til the
trusts reposed in them directly affect
the Dublin weal, and whenever oce.i-
sion*otfeis, we will not be found
astraddle the lenee, but will be in
the front rank, defending the right, ■
and denouncing the wrong. And |
we will not be mealy-mouthed about
it, either.
A man’s pri\ ate character, or do
mestic or piivate relations, is hi i pri
vate property, and has no business
to be paraded before the public. All
s i h will be rigidly excluded from
the paper; But our columns will be
thrown open to the discussion of any
matter that affects the public wel
fare; and although we may not agree
with you in the positions assumed,
don’t hesitate to let the people know
you are

Gwinnet Herald: Two of the
prisoners in jail concluded to have
some Christmas. One of them is
charged with assault with intent to
rape, and the other with being a
moonshiner butcher. As the fac ti
tles fin - a Christmas frolic in jail is
rather limited, they concluded to
get out. They succeed* d in ripping
off two or three planks from the
inside ceiling that secured the iron
grates, and with another night’s
work would probaly have been free,
but their movements were found
put, and,they were trailsfered to the
..dungeon, \vhile the wali is being
repaired. ;

G org' 1 Jackson is coi d ctor and
James Wilson brakeman on a Louis
ville and Lexington fie’ght. Their
train was coining from Lexington
with a woman in the caboose. They
quarreled about her and fought a
duel on top-of the caboose with
■; bowie knives. The other employees
on she train,gathered around to with
ness the combat. The train was whirl
ling ’along at the rate ot twenty
miles an hour, between Christiens
burg and Eminence, when the men
announced theraSel.es ready for tho
battle. They rus’ ed upon each other
and closed in. Blood trickled from
the. knife, blades and bespattered
tlie.joof of the ca-. It was appar
ently a combat to the death. The
ixiefs once separated when the signal
' was given that the train was about
, to bass under a bridge, but they re-
, newod the" fight immediately after
the bridge had been ] a-ssed. Both
men were badly hacked, and the
other train men, not wishing to wit
ness a murder, put a slop to the
fighting Jackson got the worst of the
fight. He was badly cut across the
breast.
we have long since been convi c d
that liquor is the curse of the coun
try, and is doing more to bring rdn
and disgrace upon the people, is caus
ing more suffering, starving moie
innocent women and children, creat
ing more ciim<, causing more mur
der* rs, suicides, thefts, and forgeries,
bringing more men to the gallows
and filling more penitentiaries, than
every and all other influences com
bined. Then, what good does It do?
None on the face of Gol’s footstool.
Then why legalize a traffic that scat
ters ruin and destruction broadcast
over the land, and brings with it not
one redeeming trait. We say, let us
get rid of itentireiy- Let us vote it
out some way. And right here we
want to say, we make no war on the
men who sell liquor. Some of tnem
are among our best friends, and lar
be it from us to try to do them a per
sonal injury.,

—Some of the curiosities of tho Thib
etans are very curious. At parting a
junior person takes off his cap, bov/s
and puts his tongue out. They pull
their cheeks in order to show surprise.
Turning up the big finger means ap-
>proviil, and turning up the little finger
tiieans the contrary. The rest of the
fingers signify an indifferent quality of
thing or person. All the men air®
women smoke. The nomadic Thibet
ans do not bury their dead, but throw
them to wild beasts a»d birds of orev.
