Personal Campaign Will Be Re
pudiated at the Ballot Box
From the Poplarviie F.ee Press.

From the Poplarviie f-ee Press.
The trouble about Mr.. Williams
ia that he has no zane argument
on on any subject he attempts to
discuss, and consequently de-
sends to the low plane Of person
alities, vililication of his opponent
who dare to oppose his (Williams)
rotten campaign methods. When
he states, by innuendo, that Gov
Nardaman had failed to carry out
his pledges to the people in re-
garl 90 tho policies advocated in
the gubernatorial race four years
ago, he casts reflection on the
intelligence OF the voters Of Mis-
sissippi, who know that Narda-
man has done all he claimed and
more. When he vetoed the bill
authorizing an appropriation OF
$4,000 OF thu white peoples
money to maintain the Holly
Springs Normal institute. an in
stitution to teach negroes the
higher branches of literature, he
did more for the white people of
Mississippi than John Sharp VIII
liams has done for them during
the Is years in Congress.
When Gov. james Vardaman
routed the gang of thieves and
thugs who robbed the State of
thousands Of dollars ana coined
the blood Of convicts into money
under the old penitintiary system
and led the movement which re-
suited in complete reform in the
states penal institutions, he did
more for the common people of
Mississippi than John Sharp Will
lIams will ever do 50 long as he
caters to the whims of Northern
politicians advocating q "do-noth
ing policy on the matter that
vitality affects the white people of
the South today. Mr.. Williams
calls attention to the social equal
ty practiced in the District of Col
umbla between the white and the
black races, in order to show how
he would have more influence
than Nardaman in transferring a
white girl employee from one de-
partment TO another when there
was friction between the en-
ployees and the negro boss. Will
liams may be sincere in his bitter
opposition to any plan looking to-
wards "A change in such condi-
tons, because he he has lived so
long under the influence Of those
Republican policies that he i,
thoroughly satisfied with his sur
roundings. Wei, it may suit him
but it viii not suit the white
people Of Mississippi, and the
petty, personal campaign he Is
waging will be repudiated at the
ballot box by the right thinkin:,
people Of this grand common
wealth.

THE ART OF BEING AGREEA-
BILE.

To be agreeable. habitually and
uniformly, means friends with
out number, and the ability to
strike the key note Of success at
will With careful training in
tact and thoughtfulness. il H.
possible To become an expert in
the art 81 being agreeable. bus
the majority Of US learn from OBJ
servati9n that pleasant faces and
nice manners are for high days
and holidays, and ugly tcmpcrs
and sharp words for family use.
Afterrubbing against the world
we learn the value Of being
agreeable, but unless we make it
Study, our amateur attempts
will ho awkward and unbccomiag.
To be naturally and gracefully
agreeable, we must practice 1t
according 10 principles and un-
der all circumstances.
One requisite TO agreeable man.
ucrs, is to strcnuou,ly refrain
from being tho bearer Of un-
pleasant information. No one
wants ID Ir told that they arc
cro-s-eycd Or reminded OF a bald
head. no matter how apparent
the facts are. Unconsciousiy We
connect unwelcome reminders
with those Suggesting them.
When unable to toss boquets with
clear conscience, discroetly
hold your poaee-if you wish to
be agreeable.
Our own worries and troubles
must be carefully kept out Of
sight, and even our pct hobbies
reserved for private riding. We
must also cover other peoples
failings with the mantle Of chart
~, and let good humor temper
our most heated contention for
rights. Tact must become a con-
staut companion, and the study
OF other peoples likes and dis
likes a daily occupation.

Greensboro News. Congressman
Kitchin's visit to this city yesterday
was an unexpected honor-uneXpected
at least to the general public, though
as to the other members of the CON bine
we do not presume to say.
Faison Journa1.-While Mr.. Matt
Thompson, of Giddensville, was turn
ing his pillow around the fence jam
Tuesday his horse slipped his front leg
through the fence, fell down and broke
his leg in his effort to get up, which
necessitated killing the horse. The &C
cident was a peculiar n and a sad
one, toe.
Durham Sun.-The rain storm which
visited city and surrounding county
last night, according to some reports
made by tue farmers this morning, did
considerable damage to much of the
early truck. Large patches of truck
planted on the hillsides are washed
away while much damage was done
elsewhere.
Greensboro Record.-We are glad to
zeal that railroad engineers all over
the Southern's system are to get a raise
in wages. Passenger engineers are to
be given an increase of 10 per cent. and
engineers on freight trains a raise of 6
per cent, with fifty and forty five cents
respectively per hour for over time.
This class of men, who daily risk their
lives for the travelling public, are de-
serving of better salaries than they
have heretofore beer getting, and the
news of the increase is good news, in
deed.
Raleigh Times.-The Board Of Coun-
ty Commissioners have ordered az
election to be held in Raleigh Town
ship on Tuesday, June 18th, at which
time there will be submitted to the
voters of the township a proposition OF
Mr.. Charles o. Haines. vice-president
of Norfolk & Southern Railroad, to
purchase the $50, 900 of second mort
exchanged for $35, 900 of bonds of Raj
eigh Township under an election hello
in September, 1908, and to pay fol
said bonds, in cash, seventy-fve cents
in the dollar of the principal of the
bonds.
Newbern Journal.-Compulsory ed,
ucation, curfew Jaw, and child labo,
laws, are all state ~paternalistic in thei
tendency. And yet none of these law:
have many opponents. Why? That il
a question which may be answered
from the parental point of view. AS t;
compulsory education, the State step!
in, usurps the parental authority. The
reason is to be seen in the fact tha
the State demands a safe guard for it
self, and as the parent refuses to eN
ercise authority instead creates ant
cannot or will not protect self or thos
about, the solution comes in making
law, whereby the State compels tn
child 10 have an education, and thu
become Il supporter, instead a burden
to the state.
