I In another column will be round
rihe announcement of Mr. E. H.
t Camp for re-election for Tax Receiv
er of Dougins county. Mr. Camp
has made an efficient officer, and. the
people of this county are sure to
honor him with the office the second
time. He will then retire to private
life.
Parrish and Debray make the best
photographs we ever saw by travel
ing artists. In fact, their work is
not excelled by any artists of Atlan
ta. We advise ail our readers to
rome to Ooug*asville while they are
here, and have your pictures made,
if you want one true to life.
Mr. Watson and Cot Roberts were
born in the same county, to wit:
Campbel. We don’t know where
Mr. Brown was boro and we don’t
van*. The question is who will make
the best representative. The voters
<»f Douglas will answer this question
later.
The business of a Legislator is to
enact new laws, if needed, and to re
jwal old laws if they are not needed.
ho is the bMt qualified to do this?
a man who knows nothing whatever
about the laws of his State, or one
who .a well informed as to those laws
in consequence of careful study and
investigation. Evidently the latter.
Mr. Wright, of Floyd, and Mr.
Russell, of Clark, were elected to the
before they were twenty
five y earn old, and each’made for him
self reputation as a legislator that
reflected credit on his people,
yet some of those who appoee Roberts
•ay he is too young.
J. Quincy Enterkin will be in the
race for Oolleetor of this county. Mr.
Sayer will have enough patriotism a
bout him not to ask the popie for
Fv-dectom, as he has held the office
long enough. We Lave plenty of aa
good men •* Mr. Sayer who deserve
some honor. We think Mr. Sayer
will agree with ns ami not ask the
people for their umffrages any longer
for tax collector, lie ia a good offi
cer and a perfect gvnthmaa but e
uo«* ' .. a U-L g is vuongh.
Canvass the qualifications of each
of the three gentlemen who are candi
dates for the Legislature from this
County. Then tell us if you can, in
what respect,eithcr of the others sur
pass, even equal, W. T. Roberts ?
Douglas has a citizen, and one of
the best in the county, too, who is
29 years old and never voted but
once in his life, and that was on the
fence question.
If W. T. Roberts is elected to the I
legislature his voice will be heard on
the floor of the house whenever the
rights of the people are in danger or
. their cause needs an advocate. Will
Douglas elect him or send
I an uninformed man
to represent her; this question is
with the people and they generally
do the right thing.
Mr. T. S. But’er, our splendid and
e’ever painter, presented this office
with the finest cabbage we have seen
this season. Mr. Butler is a good
gardener as well as a good painter.
If you don’t believe it give him a tri
al. Who’ll lie the next. It weighed
10 pounds.
The View advocates Mr. 3. P.
Watson,for the legislature. If hen did
Mr. Watson show himself the friend
of the working man or the champion
of the greeback party? In the language
of Hon. W. H. Felton, “Wd should
look to a man’s antecedants and see
where he stood before he became a
candidate, if we would know where
he will stand should he be elected.”
Three are not less than fifty men in
the country who expect to become
a Candida<,e for some office during
the present year (if they are not al
ready one), yet by reference to our
announcemeutcolumn,it will be seen
that only four areasking the support
of the people ‘ h rough their county
paper. An office that is not worth
asking for is not worth having.
No woman can have her patience

A tine umbrella, with black cover,
and light colored cane staff, with the
letters T. J. C. cut on the handle, and
the letter G cut on the end, was left
at the baseball ground in Douglas
ville, Saturday July 3rd. The per
son who has it, will please return to
the Star office, and oblige the owner.
A short time since, a young fellow
in Paulding co., while working
the road, had the misfortune to fall
out and have a fight with one of his
fellow road-workers. More unfortu
nately still, he got badly whipped.
A short time afterwards he was
telling a friend about how he had
been treated, when his friend remark
ed: “Why he ought tube sent to the
chain-gang.” “Chain-gang, the dev
il,” replied the defeated eombattant,
♦‘the chain-gang is too good for him.
He ought to be sent to the legislat
ure.” Now, friends, this young man
was in dead earnest, and had formed
his opinions from what he had heard
of the actions of the members of our
legislative MMmbiiea, both state and
national. Ixrt us take warning by
this young man’s idea of the eternal
fitness of things, and send such men
to our legislative assemblies as will
not Im? mistaken for conscripts from
the chawgang.
CELEBRATION AT SALT
SPRINGS,
As w'e predicted last week, the cel
ebration at Salt Springs last Satur
day was a grand success. We went
down with a large crowd on the
morning train, and went to the Wat
son House, where we spent quite a
while most pleasantly, the party be
ing entertained with music and song
by Miss Bessie Anderson, of Powder
i Springs, and other young ladies of the
Watson House. He found this now
famous host’ery full to overflowing J
with visitors from all parts of the
country, who are renewing their
health through the most potent agen
cy of the celebrated Bowden Lith
ia waters, and all with whom we con
versed sun g the praises of the Wat
son House, Mrs. Cook and Bowden
Litbia.
As the day advanced, the crowds
began to gather from all diiections,
and in all kinds of conveyances, until
by ten o’clock there were several
hundred on the grounds. The large
crowd then repaired to the Methodist
church which, by the way, would not
near hold them all, and Rev. B. P.
Rogers, as master of ceremonies, in
troduced the speakers. The first one
introduced was Judge J, D. Stewart,
who spoke ataout one hour on the day
we celebrate, and sustained his repu
tation as a splandid speaker. Next
in order was Col. P. L. Mynatt, who
went right to the hearts of the Urge
audience by the masterly manner in
which he portrayed the abuses to
which our people are subjected, and
I his clear exposition of the remedies
necessary to correct these abuses.
Col. Mynatt made many friends at
Salt Springs, and thereby the more
firmly established the fact that he
will get the Douglas delegates in the
approaching primary election.
After Col. Mynatt, came Ihe in
comparable Joe G. Camp, whose sil
ver tongue always brings rounds of
applause from his hearers. His speech
was short, but most replete with
beautifully rounded periods that kept
the large crowd continually append
ing him. He paid one of the most
graceful and eloquent tributes to the
great and gallant Gordon that we ev
ler listened to, and Gordon Wing al
most ido ized by his hearers, we felt
uneasy for awhile for the safety of
be stainp-
for, and responded in a short nwF
happy effort, that made his many ad
mirers more strongly attached to him.
He told the people how he had re
cently been treated in Coweta, and
the methods being adopted by Cowe
ta to deprive Douglas of her rights as
a member of the 86th district, and af
ter his address was finished, the reso
lutions that we copy from the Atlan
ta Constitution were unanimously a
dopted, amid great cheering for our
Joe, Douglas’ noble choice for sena
tor. The speaking was interspersed
with most elegant singing; led by
Roney Adair, while Miss Rogers pre
sided at the organ, giving unmistaka
ble evidence of her ability as an or
ganist.
About one o’clock the large crowd
was invited to a grove near the church
where a most bountiful dinner was
spread, and where all rendered full
justice to the occasion. Lord! bnt
how it makes a poor editor’s mouth
water to think about that dinner.
The afternoon was spent in danc
ing, by those who indulge, both at
the station and at. the Springs. We
went to the Springs, and had a de
lightful time watching wel, no
matter who, nor what, but we’ll bet
wealth that John Holcomb can come
as near making a fellow enjoy him
self as the next one.
It is with pain and sorrow that
we announce the death of 8. A. Me-
Elreath, one of Douglasville's best
and most prominent citizens, which
occur red at his home in this place
last Friday. He had been sick for
six or t ight wetks, and bore his »f.
flictioo with the heroic fortitude so
much his nature, and it can be trnly
said that the icy fingers of death
never stilled the throbbing of a
warmer l»eart, m,r the clods of the
valley never covered a manlier bo
som.
We extend our h?artfeh syoqxx
tbies to the bet caved family.
