SPEAKING oE/deplorabIy ignorant, |
writer mud know that Benjamin is
else he/0f a Hebrew name than
no Yor Daniel, James o. John, or
My others in common use among
English speaking people-in fact, the
English Of the sixteenth century,
when the middle classes began to
adopt surnames, took theirs largely
from the Scriptures, and they have
remained with their descendants all
over America ever since. If it be the
policy Of the Courier to sheer at
Hebrew names, it can find more of
them among its neighbors than it
has type to set.
The allegations Of the Courier that
the Star is being paid for its argu-
ments against county division en-
anate from its own corrupt magma
ton. The Star opposes division be
cause it considers it its duty to its
county and its friends to do so. We
do not know whether the Courier has
any idea of performing an unpaid for
duty or not, but we should not charge
it with selling its opinion unless we
had absolute proof of the fact. If
the Courier has any evidence that the
Star has ever been paid to oppose
the creation Of Bloxham county, let
it produce the proof. The Star has
never asked nor accepted pay for its
editorial opinion, and any statement
to the contrary, made by the Courier
or anybody else, is lie out of whole
cloth. And if anybody doesn't like
this last little remark of ours, we pre-
sumo that he knows what to do.
Personally, the editor of the Star
does not care two cents if the Willis
ton Courier advertises him as a
Chinese or a Hottentot, and the Star,
which has been with the people of
Marion county twenty years, can very
well afford to disregard charges
made by a mushroom sheet. We have
gone into the matter simply and sole
ly to show the people of Marion and
Levy counties what sort of journal

A FEW THINGS FOR
THE COURIER TO CONSIDER

If there was any logical reason 70
Mr.. Benjamin (the name has a de
cided Hebrew sound) OF the Ocals
Star to oppose the formation Of
Bloxham county upon the lines anC
methods of the people that will con
stitute said county, we would gIedIy
concede to the delightful old gentle
man" the right to peddle his worth
less and erroneous literature in this
section at the price which the mon
led opponents have agreed to paw
him for the tWaddle. No sooner had
the legislature passed the bill grant
ing. the people of this section the
right to form a county and govern
themselves, than the old pIug-ugIy
OF the Star came bounding into the
arena with "head up and tail over
dash board" paving and kicking at
everything in and out of sight. at

statements they make in trying to |
bring about that result. The above /
is quite fair specimen of what the
Courier considers argument and jour
nalism.
The Star respectfully asks the peo-
pie of Marion and Levy counties, /
what has the name of the editor of
the Star, or the name of any other
man, to do with the question of coun-
ty division? What bearing has it on
the subject, and what reputable or
sensible journalist would refer to It'll
in the manner the Courier has?
IF the editor of the Star was a
Jew, he would not be in the least
ashamed to own it. The Jews were
among the civilized peoples of the
earth when the ancestors of Stafford
and Willis ate raw meat, wore skins
and used the skulls of their enemies
for drinking cups. We derive our
religion and much of our law from
the Jews. The ten commandments
were handed by Jehovah to Jew, the
founder of the religion that Stafford
and Willis profess to believe in was
Jew, and among refined and tolerant
people it is considered unjust to per
secute and bad taste to sneer at
Jew. We are willing to bet, if the
truth were known, that Jews have
been more just and generous to Stat

For the further information of the
Star the Courier will say that it was
the insistence of its editor that
Senator Bitch consented to publish
his letter in our issue of last week
and their charge that it was an adj
vertisement Is not only untrue, but a
direct thrust at the truth in real bad
faith for the purpose presumably to
deceive the people.-Williston Cour-
Ter.
The editor of the Courier insisted
a little too much. We wouldn't be
surprised if he coined the entire story
himself. The friends of Senator
Bitch are reluctant to believe that
he would say he had been in Ocala
June p when he hadn't been in a
dozen miles of the town. If he did
make such statement, he has no
right to expect the people to believe
anything he says.

The circum stances as learned are Mr..

Last Wednesday, just two days be-
fore Mr.. Adam Hafner and wife were
to leave, Mr.. John Hafner decided to
end his earthly troubles. Mr.. Half
ner got up as usual and did up the
chores and when Mrs. Adam Hafner
had prepared breakfast, she called,
and, getting no answer from her
brother-in-law, she called her hus-
band who had not risen, TO get up and
hunt John. After looking all over
the place Mr.. Adam Hafner found
Mr.. John Hafner's body hanging at
the end Of a rope in the loft of the
barn. Mr.. Hafner says he knew that
John was dead, so he left him and
went for the trial justice, Mr.. L. L.
