IN HALIFAX COUNTY.
Thought Trouble Between the Races
Had Commenced.

SCOTLAND NECK, X. G., November
l-(Special.)-Th Criminal Court Is In
session in Halifax, and It looked yester-
day Ike the trouble between the races
had begun. Major T. l.. Enry anu
colored politician-John Harrison-were
talking In a friendly way when coiored
man named Morris came up and put In
his word voluntarily, practically disputing
Major Bnrys statement. Some friend
OF Major Enry's took the matter up, and
a conflict was on In a jiffy. The negro
got out of the court-green in a hurry
and left town. The other colored peo-
pie did not interfere. for they saw plainly
that the whites would bear no intru-
sions.
Notwithstanding Governor Russell and
Senator Pritchard have endeavored to
create alarm. things promise TO be calm
at the election. 1t was said here In
Halifax county yesterday that the cleo
tion would be one Of the most quiet we
have ever had, and the relations are as
strained here as anywhere in the state,
perhaps.
1t is freely commented upon that the
States employees at the State farm have
used the States teams and vehicles TO
canvass this county for fusion A gem
tleman on the train yesterday pointed
out a prominent employee at the state
farm as being on a trip then to one or
the lower counties to canvass for fusion.
The taxpayers think these employees
would serve the State better by remain
ing at their posts and attending to their
duty. Some think here that the Gideon
Band oath is holding the obstinate Popu-
lists TO the fusion on the Republican
ticket. They were oath-bound. 1t Is
thought. never again to vote the Demo
cratic ticket. One Populist, whose sons
have renounced Populism and will vote
the Democratic ticket is reported to have
said that if they do so he will drive them
from home and disinherit them. Most OF
the Populists have come back and will
vote white on election-day.

have just been reading about the

on account of IL bodily defOrmity.
We have been reliably informed
that the late DIR. j. Il. Jeter and

Disagreeable People

There are dlsagreeable people.
1t requires no searchlight to dis
cover them. They have an UNI
comfortable way of obtruding
upon your notice and making
their presence felt Their name is
legion. They are confined to no
class. Even pious people often
have disagreeable qualities. They
put charity to severe test and
tax forbearancc to it's utmost.
The forms in which disagreeab bic
ness finds expression are almost
past number. Sometimes it is the
exaggeration of that which, in
proper balance, would be q virtue;
sometimes it is q meanncSS which
is far removed from virtue of any
kind.
Here, for instance, is a manor
possibly Il woman who darkenS
every sphere by the spirit Of de-
traction. He-or she, rs the case

fects, other peoples defects; and
Il keener satisfaction in making
Ghem known. If two construc
lions Of a given act or course of
conduct are possible, the ungener-
Gus one IS always chosen. Even
a tardy and unwilling commenda-
ton is qualified by "but." A

Here is another who is always SO
offensive in compliment that you
wish he would say u sharp, crlti
Cal thing. There is a 'blandness
OF smile and an unctuouS smooth
ness of speech and 4 general com
placency which puts you IN mind
of Uriah Heep. One man is disI-
greeably taciturn and another
disagrceably tall<ative. One is
pomDOus and another fussy. One
is insulTerably egOtlstic and an
other is too humble. One is nj g
gardly and cheese-paring; another
is Ostentatious in display of ex-
travagance.
But why attempt TO recount the
list? We may run the risk of
adding ourselves to the number
in doing so. A word in extenua-
ton of the faults of disagreeable |
people will be more fitting. In |
many instances their disagreeable
peculiariticS are due in large |
measure to untOWard circumStan-
ces and conditions of life. The
ban of heredity is upon them.

unconscious Of their faillngs. No
