We are asked is President Roosevelt really a man of abil ity? Our answer was, He is be yond doubt such a man. He has written two or three books, and at least two are of literary value and cleverness. His "Life of Thomas Hart Ben ton," a native of North Caroli na who was born some two miles from the historic town of Hillsboro, in Orange county, and attended the University of North Carolina, and his work on "Oliver Cromwell" have been well praised in the North. He is much of a speaker with versality aggressiveness, in tense earnestness and much re source_as his extraordinary campaign last year established.

Few people imagine the in fluence of a progressive, wide a-wake paper in a community. Going as it does into the homes of the people and into the very inner circle, what it says is discussed and reviewed. Espec ially is this true of the paper which goes into the home of the man in the rural districts — the man who does the voting in the elections —the man who does the work —the man, who, with those like him, comprises the largest responsibility ele ment of our government. So how responsibility is the position of the editor of a news paper and how he should strive to see that only the things that are true go in to make up that which his people read. The conscientious editor will render incalculable good in his community and section by striving to inculcate right principles and to establish proper standards. —Wilson Times. To Southern Women. The Messenger aforetime fa vored the proposition to erect a fine superb monument to the women of the South. They most richly deserve such a flit ting memorial for they were grandly noble, self sacrificing and intensely patriotic. The Confederate Veterans are talk ing of erecting such a monu ment, and it should be pressed vigorously until the work is completed. Wilmington Mes senger.

OCTOBER 2, 1901, Mr. Bok's Advice on Marriage. , A young man recently wrote to the editor of The Ladies' Home Journal asking : "What have you to say, squarely and fairly, to a young man of twenty-nine who is about to marry? In the October Jour nal Mr. Bok uses a page for his 1 answer. Its salient points are ; these : that a man should make the woman of his choice his chum, as well as his wife; that he should show her the highest consideration as well as love | her ; that he should remember - that ho owes his wife to her mother, and treat his mother-! in-law with respect, at least; that he should keep his wife in formed as to his income ; that he should give her a regular al lowance and that he should have his life insured in her fa vor. And above all, that when a man marries he must re member that he leaves a world of self and enters into a world of another and self.

SCHOOL BOOKS. ■ * « Adopted By The North Caroli na Text Book Commission, Having made a five year con. i tract with all the publishers for the sale of all text books adopt ed by the State Text book Com mission, we are now prepared to fill orders promptly. Re member that you can buy all the text books from us at con tract prices. But if an old book fts to be exchanged for a new j one, it must be of like kind and grade. That is to say, an ele mentary book can be exchanged for an elementary book, an ad vanced book for an advanced book. Grammers must be ex changed for grammers and arithmetics for arithmetics, etc. Further it is absolutely neces sary for each and every pupil to bring a certificate from the teacher showing that the old book was in use in the public schools the first of 1901, there by entitling the pupil to make the exchange. Without this certificate, under our contract with the publishers we are not allowed to make any exchange whatever. Remember this and save time and trouble. Section 1 8 of the contract we have [ with the publishers reads as fol lows : "That the said Hood & Gran tham shall sell no text book at the exchange rate hereinbefore described until they have re quired the teacher in each and every school containing pupils entitled to the exchange privi lege to prepare and present a certificate setting forth the name of the old book displaced by the adopted book and the number of copies in use in said school between Feb. Bth and July Ist 1901, and the names of the pupils entitled to purchase new adopted book at the ex change rate upon the delivery on or before July Ist 1902 of the old book formerly used by said pupils."

Leon Czolgosz Doomed to Die I Death Penalty to be Inflicted ] In the Week Beginning o © | October 28th. Buffalo, Sopt. 20.—Justice j VViiite this afternoon sentei c.id L 011 P. C?o!gtisz to death at ( Auburn prison during the-'week of October 28. The assr.s-in of President McKinley received • the sentence standing with his hand on the back of a chair. He had meant to make an ad- t dress to the court, but his voice failed him and he could only struggle through a few words in a tone so they did not reach Justice White, and t each had to be repeated by , counsel. Greater curiosity to see the f prisoner was manifested today ( than at any of his appearances since the day of his crime. All were curious to see how he would receive the sentence and to hoar him if he essayed a speech. Hie ciowd which man aged to pass the outer guards • and enter the city hall upset all • the arrangements of the police and the sheriff. There was a j division of authority today which resulted in the police and 1 the sheriff passing into the court ;j room so many men and women that the jam was most uncom fortable. Women were present j in large numbers. They stood on the benches in the rear of the court room, stood on chairs and sat in strange- men's laps ; j indeed tried to take the justice's , own chair in their anxiety to , see the murderer. It was five minutes before the ( time for convening court when the assassin was brought in. ) Ho looked better than on ; Tuesday. His hair had been trimmed by the jail barber and he had been shaved. A new J shirt, white, with a dark stripe in it, was furnished to him by ( the sheriff and his blue bow tie had been replaced with one of water blue silk, tied four in • hand fashion in a turnover collar. He had scrubbed his face well and two red spots shone on his cheeks. But lie was nervous and his left hand visited his coat pocket from time to time, brought out his handkerchief and wiped his face. Judge Titus and Carlton Laud, of his counsel, sat with him. Judge Lewis was not in court. The session of court today lasted eleven minutes. Justice White took the bench at .02 o'clock. District Attorney Pen ny advanced and, looking at the assassin, said in a clear voice: "I movefsentence in the case of the people against Leon F. Czolgosz, your honor." Then to the assassin: "Stand up, Czolgosz, please." The assassin arose and stead ied himself by resting his left hand on the back of the chair in front of him. Crier Hess then swore Czol gosz to "make true answers to such questions as shall be put to you." Mr. Penny proceeded to ask him the usual questions to which he answered in a low voice. He seemed unable to control his voice. In answer to questions he said he was 28 years old, was born in Detroit and had lived last at Nowak's Hotel, in Broadway, Buffalo. He gave his trade as a laborer and said he was single. He had attended small common schools and the schools of the Catholic church. His mother was dead and his father was living. Mr. Penny then asked "Are you temperate? Do you know what that means?" Answer.—No sir. Q. —Do you drink intoxica ting liquors much?-> A. —No sir. Don't drink to much. Q. —Were you ne«er drunk? 1 Have you been in the habit of getting drunk? You are not, • are you. Q. —Have you been convicted of crime before this? . A.—No sir. L He was then asked if he had I any legal cause to show why t sentence of the court should uot be now unpronounced against him. The question had to be repeated twice, and then he re ■ plied in the negative. Ques . tioned further, he said he would like to make a statement. The court pointed out that what he said must relate explicitly to the subject in hand. He might claim he was insane or that he had good cause to offer either I in arrest of judgment or for a 1 new trial. , yhfi defendant said &e had nothing to say about that.' Judge Titus, after conferring with the prisoner, said he thought he ought to be permit ted to make a statement in ex planation of his family. The court finally allowed Czolgosz to proct ed. The defendent: I would like to say this much. That the crime was committed by no one else but me ; no one told me to doit ; and I never told anybody to do it Mr. Til us—Your father and mother had nothing to do with it? The defendant—No sir; nor only mv father and mother, but there has not anybody else had 1 nothing to do with this. He spoke so low that Mr. 1 Ti'.'is had to repeat his words to the courts. Then the defen dant went on: "I never' told anything to nobody. I never told anything of that kind. I never thought of that until a 1 couple of days before I com- 1 mitted the crime." This also had to be repeated The court—Anything further, Czolgosz? 1 The aefendent—No sir. The court—Czolgosz, in tak ing the life of our beloved Pres ident you committed a crime ' wltich shocked and outraged the moral sense of the civilized world. You have confessed your gilt and, after learning all : that at this time can be learned of the facts and circumstances ' of .the case, twelve good ineu have pronounced your confes sion true and have found you guilty of murder in the first de gree. You declare according to the testimony of credible witnesses, that no other person aided or abetted you in the com mission of this terrible act. God grant it may be so. The penalty for the crime of which you stand convicted is fixed by statute, and it now becomes by duty to pronounce its judgment against you. The sentence of the court is that in the week beginning Oc ober 28, 1901, at the place, in the manner and by the means prescribed by law, you suffer the punishment of death. There was a momentary pause. Then Justice White's voice sounded "Remove the prisoner." As Judge Titus arose he found himself facing Czolgosz, who! was about to be shackled. Judge j Titus said: "Czolgosz, good-; bye." "Good bye," said the assas- j sin. He put out his hand and Judge Titus took it. The assas sin was trembling. Judge Titus dropped the hand and turned away, and the irons were slipped over the assasin's wrists. He went out of the court with downcast eyes, dejected, biorken-spirted. No one hissed him. Through the tunnel back to the jail he was led, still si lent. When detective Gear and Sal omon had placed him in his cell these two, who had been his guards since his arrest, said ; "Good .bye." "Good bye," said Czolgosz in a gasping whisper. He held out his shaking hand. The detectives shook his hand and passed out. The assassin til re >» hiruseif face down on the bed. lie was alone with his though sof the week of Oct. 28tli. The death warrant was signed by Justice White at his house late this afternoon. The com mitment was signed by the clerk of the court. The death warrent is directed ?o :he agent and warden of Auburn pris on. After a formal recital of the conviction f Cxelgovz f r the murder of William McKiu ley, it says: "You are hereby ordered, commanded and required to ex ecute the sad sentence upon the said Leon F Czolgosz on some day within the we- k commenc ing Monday, the LBth day of October, 1901, the time of exe cution within said week to be , left to your discretion, and , within the walls of said State's prison or within the yard or en closure adjoining thereto, by then and there causing to pass through the body of him, the said Leon F.

Farmers to Fi Trust. Raleigh, Sept. 25.—The meet ing of cotton farmers and sin ners here yesterday, which was culled for the purpose of taking action with reference to the price of cotton seed, resulted'in the organization of the "North Carolina Farmers State Associ tion." Twenty-one counties were rt presented and the meeting was largely attended. The farmers who were present rep resented county organizations and they decided to meet the cotton seed oil tru?t in its effort to keep down the price of cotton seed. The farmers of the State were urged by resolution unanimous ly adopted not to sell their cot ton seed for less than twenty five cents a bushel, or exchange on a basis of '2,000 pounds of seed for not less than 1,383 1-2 pounds of cotton seed meal. Present price of cotton seed is from eighteen to twenty-one cents and the advantage that will accrue to the farmers of the State if they hold to the price agreed upon ! ast night is estimated at two million dob lars. Two meetings were hold yes terday, afternoon and night, and the convention .adjourned until this morning at nine o'clock. Permanent organization was affected lat night by the elec tion of the following officers : President—Dr. It. 11. Speight, of Edgecombe. Vice-Pre»ident—Hector Mc- Lean, of Scotland, Secretary and Treasurer-—T, B. Parker, of Ilillsboro. Th'.' rt solution, fixing the price of cotton seed, which the convention unanimously adopt ed i- as follows : Wheivris the cotton crop is short and there i- an increased d' insir.d for cotton seed for feeding, fertilizer and other purposes; and whereas the pres nt offerings of prices and terms of exchange for feed are below the real value of the seed, be it resolved : That it is the deliberate judg ment this convention that seed are now worth to the farmers at home 25 cents a bushel or | should ho exchanged on 2,000 i pounds of seed for not less than 1 1,383 1-2 pounds of cotton seed ; meal to analyze 8+ per cent, ammonia, and we advise and | nrge the cotton farmers of I North Carolina not to sell or , exchange at less than above prices, and we ask the earnest ; co-operation of every cotton grower in North Carolina to , this end. Resolved. That we invite [ the cotton growing States to form Cotton Farmers' Associa . tions and assist us in securing and maintaining these prices . for cotton seed. * There is probably |but one definition of the word "gentle man," yet there are many ways of expressing that definition. Thackeray gives, perhaps, the most direct and pleasing ex pression of the word in the fol lowing : "To be a gentleman i 3 to be honest, to be gentle, to be generous, to be brave, to be wise and possessing all these ' qualities, to use them in the most graceful outward man ner." —Exchange fifj j MANY THINK , That a farm wagon nev er needs paint after it leaves the factory. . .
