*'li has been brought to our attention
that there lu u report current In this
county that the ??dltor of The Star ^111
lie n candidate for the ofllce of sheriff
of Mai ion County. We wish now, once
and for nil, to put such a report ttrto
the discard. We have never thought
of seeking election a.s *heriff, and so
far as we know at this time, we shall
?>i'v??r | hat honorable office.
"To be perfectly frank, wo h?ve hud
oar day in politics, and unless some
great change comes otfer us we are con
tent to rcmaiu oat of that miserable
game. Within the past twelve months
the dtisens of our tow?n registered

emerging from ?ii years of oftiee-hold
frig \v? found that men then regarded
?in merely us a politician ? unacrujm
h.iis. tricky and ready to aaerlflCe all
oUblie Interests . for jirlvate ambition.
It hurt to tlud rt>is in the hearts of old
friends, ^neighbors and associates'. Hut,
that hurt Is fxl-lns: healed, and we would
on more think of venturing again into
the pollticul lleld than we,woakl delib
erately place our tinkers iuto a lire.
."The -confidence and reftpect of our
f i How man means more to -this htimhlo
?scribe than all of the ofllces in Marlon
County. As an editor we have duties to
perform, and thone duties we shall per
form, regardless of eonseqtwmces to us
or any eaut?e we ??sis?UHe, and one of
(hc.Ho duties is -to keep out of politics,

Of the road, and one of Hiem starhxl
to cross a ;id seemed to change her mind
as the car approached and started back (
only to make another, lit tempt io cross
again in front of the car.; By tills
time, in spite of tbe fact that the ca^
was running very slow, it seema that
Mrs. Norris became rattled, aud could
not got <uit of iu path, and the carl
passed jwit tly over her lxxly.
Hiding In the car at the time with 1
Mr. Outlaw was a Mr Miller and Mr
Sid Strickland, and thev lost urn time
in placing the Kody of Mrs. Norris In
to the car and taking it to her home
near the scene of the accident, and
then immediately conic to .Rishqpvillo
for_mVHlIca.l aMiatauce. They .soon hid
n doctor in attendance, but in spit*
of all fliat could be dome, she died In

Mrs. Norris was the wife of 3tfr John
