COTTON GKOWEK'J MEETIMU

Exi-liaiure Seed for Meal.
Tho meeting of the cotton
raiser's was held in Raleigh ou
the 25th as appointed and re-
convend Thursday morning
completing the wok of the ses
sion. The Eaieigh correspou
dent (o the Charlotte Observer
gives the following summary.
The following were elected to
compose the executive commit
tee: S L Patterson, B H Thomp
son, J W B Battle, J W Atwator,
Hector McLean, W H Clarke
and J A Stevens,. The address
to the growers is as follows:
To the Cotton Farmers of North
Carolina:
At a meeting of delegates ap
pointed to assemble in lialoigh
on the 25th inst., for the purpose
of considering and deciding on
the best method of securing a
just and reasonable price for
our cotton seed, it was agreed
to organize under the name of
"The North Carolina Cotton
Farmers' State Association,"
aud make such recommendations
to those engaged in raisiug cot
ton as might secure the end in
view.
After full information pre
sented by the Slate Agricultural
Department of the intrinsic value
of cotton seed for fertilizer,
stock feeding, etc., supplement
ed by the individual knowledge
and experience of the farmers
present in relation 10 them, the
following recommendations were
made, and the undersigned ap
pointed a committee to briefly
outline the conclusions of tho
convention.
That wo should not dispose of
our sued in case of sale, for less
than 25 cents per bushel, or when
exchanging the same to tho mills
we should not receive less than
1,333 1-3 pounds of meal, aualiz
ing 8i per cent, ammonia for a
ton of seed. This . price was
based ou present price of cottou
seed meal and oil. It these pro
ducts advance in prico the seed
should sell at a higher price
than 23 cents per bushel. In
tho event we aro not able to sell
or exchange ou these terms then
it was recommended that we
should use the seed on tho farm
for fort'lizer, and wherever prac
ticable there should be estab
lished by the farmers neighbor
hood cotton seed oil mills. It
was the senso of the convention
that it was prcferrable to ex
change the seed for meal to be
used tin the farm rather than
impoverish the farm by the sys
tem of robbery so much prac
ticed by our farmers in making
an outright sale of the seed. In
all cases of sale or exchange the
purchaser should pay the freight
on seed and the farmers freight
on meal. It was furthermore
agreed to urge our friends tho
importance of township and
eounty organization to accom
plish this desirable end, for we
fully realize that mere Slate or
ganization and resolutions can
accomplish but little unless those
whom we seek to aid shall organ
ize among themselves and act
ively and intelligently co-operate
with us. To this end wo insist
that every farmer interested in
procuring better prices for cot
ton seed engage actively in this
work of organization and that no
time be lost in perfecting tho
same in each township and
county.

It will be remembered that a
little negro girl of nine years
was assaulted in Charlotte last
August. John Bish was arrested
and was tried this week before
Judge Hoke and found guilty.
In passing sentence Judge Hoke
said :
"In view of the fact that there
aro certain doubts regarding the
identity of this man and the par
ty who com mi lied tho crime, still
when every detached circum
stance points in the same direc
tion, I feel almost positive that
this is the man and if he is, he
should pay the extreme penalty."
"In fact," said the judge, "I
am morally certain that Pish is
tho guilty man. Nevertheless in
the face of certain doubts exist
ing, 1 do uot feel warranted in
pronouncing tho extreme penal
ty. Tho prisoner is sentenced to
twenty-five years at hard labor,"

All weevils m grain are killed

This is a bad smelling liquid that
can be purchased fromdruggists

The grain must be in a tiht bin
and the liquid is thrown directly

The bin is then covered with a
heavy blanket or oil cloth. No

is quite explosive like benzine.
The bin should be left covered

Didn't Hurry to Santiago.
In the court of inquiry trial
Friday Admiral Sampson asked
that attorneys be admitted to

This arises from the fact that it
is impossible in the trial to avoid
reference to him. The court
however did not consider him a
party in the trial and declined
the application.
The leading witness was Lieut.
John Hood commander of the
Hawk. His testimony was some
what unfavorable to Schley for
not promptly leaving Cienfugcs

Danville, Va., April 5, 186T.
The geueral-iu-Chief found it
necessary to make such move
ments of his troops as to uncov
the Capital. It would be unwise
to consel the moral and material
injury to our cause resulting
from the occupation of our cap
ital by the euemy. It is equally
unwise and unworthy of us to al
low our own energies to falter
and our efforts to become relaxed
under reverses, however calami
tous they may be. For many
months the largest and finest
army of the confederacy, under
command of a leader whose pres
ence inspires equal conlldence in
the troops and the people, has
been greatly trammeled by the
necessity of keeping constant
watch over the approaches to
the capital, and has thus- been
forced to forego more than one
opportunity for promising enter
prise. It is for us, my country
men, to show by our bearing
under reverses, how wretched
has boon the self deception of
those who have believed us less
able to enduro misfortune than
10 encounter dangers with cour
age. Wo have now entered upon a
new phase of the struggle. Re
lieved from tho necessity of
guarding particular points, our
army will be free to move from
point to point to strike the ene
my in detail far from his base
Let us but will it and we are
free.
Animated by that confidence
in spirit and fortitude which
never yet failed me, I announce

it is my purpose to maintain your
cause with my whole heart and

main shock of this war; whose
sons and daughters have exhib
ited heroii-m so sublime -as to
render illustrious in all time to
come that Virginia, with the
help of the poople and by the
blessing of Providence, shall be
held and defended, and no peace
ever be made with the infamous
invaders of her territory.
If by the stress of numbers we
shall ever be compelled to a tem
porary withdrawal from her lim
its or those of any other border
State, again and again will we
return, until the baffled and ex
hausted enemy shall abandon in
aetpair nis enaiess and impossi
ble task of making slaves of poo
ple resolved to be free.
Let us then, not despond, my
countrymen, but relying on God,
meet the foe with fresh defiance
and with unconquered and un
conquerable hearts.

Six Killed br Oil TaukExplusitm.
A terrific exolosion occurred
at Newark, N. J., on Thursday,
killing at least six men. A large
tank .had been emptied. Two
men went into the man hole to
perform some duty without tying
ropes to themselves. They wore
overcome by the gas and anoth
er, in trying to rescue them, met
the same fate.
In desperate haste it was con
cluded to cut a hole in the tank
below. While strokes were laid
on the cold chisels an explosioti
occurred which tore tho tank
apart and hurled men in every
direction.
An Epidemic of Insanity in New Hanover
There appears to be a verit-
ab'e epidemic of insanity in' the
ounty, especially among the
colored people, aud the most de
plorable feature or condition is
that there appears to be no place
for a majority of the unfortunate
ones in the btate institution.
The result is that five are now
confined in the county jail and
less violent cases, in some in
stances, havo been left to the
care of relatives and trienus
where such agencies exist.
Yesterday a violently crazy
colored woman, Ellon Carter by
name, was recommitted to jail
by bondsmen who took tho wo
man under their care pending a
probable admission into t.ie
Ooldsboro asylum. Word came
that there was no more room in
tho institution and her bonds
men had to return her to the cus
tody of tho sheriff. Wilmington
