Testimony of Two Officials, Both of the Department of Agriculture. WARNING AGAINST TRUSTS. If Organization Among Cotton Growers Took Definite Shape It Would be the Most Qigantic Trust in the World Farm Laborers. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. .Washington, June 24. There were two witnesses ,before the industrial commission to day A. C True, direc tor of the office of experiment stations, and George K. Holmes, a statistical expert, both of the Department of Ag riculture. Dr. True advocated the government employment of travelling professors for the benefit of farmers' institutes, and ari vised instructions in nature, especially in rural schools, as prepara tion for agricultural instruction. The movearent for agricultural instruction in the United States, he said, is only part of a world-wide movement, in cluding Eypt and Turkey. He pointed out that ail this meant competition for the trade of the world. Mr. Holmes submitted detailed sta tistics and showed the average per cap ita earnings of farm laborers was 1227 without board, against $227 paid to persons in domestic service, $127 to miners and $445 in the mechanical arts. He concluded, the condition of the farm laborer was wretchedly poor, while the farmer was but little-better. The farmer receives an average of only- $22.61 per montn, counting notmng for interest, according to his estimate. He urged the commission to remember the agricultural trusts in their recom mendations, citing numerous fruit as sociations,milk producers' associations, and said an existing tendency toward organization among cotton growers, if it took definite shape, would be the most gigantic trust in the world. He thought farmers' co-operative associa tions should be under State supervision to safeguard the members. The Southern States, he suggested, should take means to limit the per centage of liens on growing cotton crops. He considered the credit sys tem in the South responsible for the over production of this staple article. The commission then adjourned un til September 5th. PENITENTIARY CLAIMS. Disagreement Between State Treasurer ' Worth and the Executive Board Delaying Payment. Special Star Correspondence. Raleigh, N. C, June 23. The dispute about payment of the penitentiary claims continues. The State Treasurer adheres to his deter mination not to pay them unless they aremade out in accordance with the decision of the Attorney general, and tne Executive Board declare they will make no change in the warrants ; that if paid at all they must be paid as now drawn : that the remedy for those hold ing these claims is a mandamus against tne utate Treasurer. The State Treasurer's books show that before the -Attorney General made his ruling in regard to the peni tentiary claims, there was $455.33 of claims paid. Since the Attorney Gen eral's ruling that only claims could be paid for debts due on January 1st, the following have been paid: .Rents for 1898, $1,299.78, $920.10-, and $830.64; December, 1898, pay roll, $880.30. These make a total of $3,930.82. The total payment of the claims to date, $4,386.15. The Buncombe County Medical So ciety was to-day incorporated by the Secretary of State, with James A.

Chairman Travis, of the Executive Board of the penitentiary, to-day pre pared a circular letter to be sent to all the holders of claims; in which he sets forth Ithe position of the board in the matter, quotes the law requiring the vouchers to be made out by the board and points out that the same law re quires the Treasurer to pay them, As this Jaw leaves tne treasurer no ais cussion on the payment of these claims. Mr- Travis suggests that, the board having discharged its duty, the quarrel is now between the holders of the claims and the Treasurer, and that if he refuses to pay them they have their remedy in a mandamus by the courts. Treasurer Worth says Jje nopes tnis course will be pursued ;, that he has the money and wants to pay it out.and that he suggested to the board a weeic ago that a friendly suit be brought to settle the dispute, i The Methodist Orphanage.
