At Court.


The editor, protein, was IN HALIFAX
attending court Monday and Tuesday
of this week. Consequently the get up
of the paper may not be 80 we'll done
as usual. While at court we were
struck with several things that trans
pired, and chiefly by the buslness-lke
b]untness of the Judge When Capt.
Grizzard asked for one of the JuTymen
to be excused on account OF sickness,
Judge Bynum said, Il see, Mr.. Grlz-
card. that you have in Halifax county
the siczliest set of men | ever saw to
act as iurymen" That was merlteo
reh,1ke. no doubt, for sometimes men
will plead sickness when they really
arc not. Some business was done, but
it struck us as being a waste OF tune
and a great deal Of it. One Guano case
occupied half day and just as the
counsel began their pleas the Judge
said the evidence was not sufficient U
90 to the jury, and therefore ne con
tinued it until another time. 1t Is on
first time in court and we hope 1t VII
be the last.

Thoughtless Conduct.

We have several times seen some
Young men coming from church, light
their cigars and puff their smoke into
the faces of the crowd OF ladies and
gentlemen about them. This Is not
courteous to the gentlemen In the
crowd and very uncivil to the ladies'
We make this statement because we
are sure those young men have not
thought about it in that light, and too
because we have heard 1t remarked
about by others.

Home Raised Oranges.

Mr.. G. W. Bryan, our depot agent,
showed us the other day, an orange
which he said his wife raised in green
house. He says that the tree is very
small but is three years old, this being
the first year of production. 1t was
heavily laden with the delicious frult
having about one hundred oranges on
it. He SAYS the tree was too small tol
the weight of 100 oranges and they
had to pull them all off but 30, which
they left to mature They are all ripe

MURDER IN SCANDAL.
Less Than in tho Taking of Human
IIFe.

Not Less Thnn in tho Taking of Human
Lie.
The American Artisan says: But. az we
nave said. murder may be done without
sacrifice of a human life. even with or with
out malice prepense.' Throughout the
entire business world there is and always
has been recognized II principle Of COM
mercial integrity, which is only another
term for confidence in the inhereat honesty
of one man in his dealings with his fellows,
Whethev he DO far removed in corqoreal
essence or simply boarding in tho adjoining
block. Uron this confidence rests the faith
of millions and in tho present days, despite
the safeguards provided by modern business
methods. transactions involving the trans
ference of untold sums Of money are based
upon nothing more binding than this bono
of business honor. What shall be said Of
the individual who, by an eavenoned
shaft in the shape of n hint or an insinus-
ton intended to undermine this whcle-
some trust in mems innate honesty of pur-
pose. succeeds in numbering a reputation?
Is he any less n murderer than bis fellow
who stains his hands in human blood? Is
life without the prestige which straightfor-
ward dealings and honest methods give it
worth anything to the individual who. once
in the enjoyment of the confidence of those
with whom he had inter course, suddenly
finds himself regarded with suspicion and
dist ust?. And how easily the first seed of
this suspicion and mistrust can be Gown!
A mere whisper, n little generalizing with
careful guard to mention no names so that
the poison may do its work more surely.
and instead Of one. n hundred regulations
bnap be besmlrched."
