Czolgosz, the miserable anarchist who murdered President McKinley, has been tried, convicted and sen tenced to die during the week begin ning October 28thr This has been quick work, but none, - too quick. Such a crime could not pos sibly have mitigating circumstances, and the sooner its perpetrator pays the forfeit the better. Last Friday a letter was present ed from Rear Admiral Sampson i n tr to be allowed T to be repre sented in the Schley Court of Inqui ry, but the court refused to grant the request on the ground that "the court does not at this time regard Sampson as a party to the case. ' This case will probably take several weeks yet before it is concluded. As o its merits we have little opiuion and less "ruthers"as to its outcome. President McKioley's will has been admitted to probate. His es tate is valued at $225,000 to $250,000. He leaves his real estate to his wife and the income from his personality to her also. He makes a charge up on his property to pay his mother (the will was written before1 her death) $1,000 a year during her life, at her death the same sum to be paid to his sister, Helen McKinley. , At the death of his wife the property is to be equally divided between his brothers and sisters. Mrs, McKin- ey renounced her right of adminis tration and the court appointed Pri vate Secretary Cortelyou and'Judge Day administrators, with the will nnexed. It is such a will as the country expected from the dead resident. . The report of the finance commit tee of the penitentiary directors shows that the Day administration of that institution cost 135,495 82 more than it earned, instead of the $34,456.73 surplus claimed by the Day administration. The report urther shows that the average monthly expenses of the institution under the Day administration were $16,070,17 and that the expenses under the Mann administration have been $10,390 8G per month, a saving of $5,688 31 a month. This is a very gratifying saving to the tax-pa3ers, and shows that the penitentiary is being conducted with the most rigid economy in all its branches. It is expected that, notwithstanding the disaster to the crops on the Halifax county farms, the institunion will be self sustaining this year. No officer n North Carolina is rendering more faithful service to the State than Julian S. Mann, superintendent of the penitentiary. ine state cotton growers con vention in Raleigh last week (a full report of which is printed iu another column) was attended by many of the State's best farmers. The action taken was wise, and we believe it will be effective in securing a fair price for cotton seed. It is hoped that the cotton farmers of the other Southern States will form similar associations. We are glad to know that th North Carolica association is to be permanent The cotton farmers can do much for themselves by proper organization. Not only can they regulate the price of seed, out they can also regulate to some extent the price of cotton by mutual co operation to kpep the size of the crop within profitable limits, and this co operation can only be brought about through organization. Co operation can also secure cheap er fertilizers and other supplies. In a dozen different ways a cotton growers' association can do much for its members, -.vtay the organi zation formed in Raleigh last week do all the good its founders hope for, and may its life be long and useful to the farmers of the State It is given out from Washington that Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina, has seen President Roose velt,and that the President promised him to keep on allowing him to dish out the federal offices in South Car olina in exchange for the Senator's support of the ship subsidy steal and the dangerous foreign policies of the President, ne Republican administration will also aid the Senator "covertly' in his race for re-election.- And, yet, McLaurin claims to be a Democrat.' "My God, JLbernethy,"" was ever bargain and sale so open and brazen before? VlcLaurin was elected by Democrats and he still claims to be a Democrat, but we find bixn closeted with a Re publicau President and the an uouncement made as soon . as the meeting is over that the President will allow the Senator to control the appointments in his State and that tbts benator wiil support Republican measures in the Senate. The South Carolina Demeratic5tate c'jtntnit tee will be derelict in its duty if it does not shut the door of the party primary in this traitor's face. And. yet, we have pretended Democrats here in North Carolina who opejity iiiudAlcLaurin and sympathize wHh him in his race for re-election. Men and brethren, what do you think of such Democracy? THE FARMERS CONVENTION, AjPermancnt Organization Formed FartnersAdYised not to Take Less Than 25 Cents a Bushel for Cotton Seed, Raleigh News and Observer, 26th. - The meeting of cotton farmers and ginners yesterday, which was called for the purpose of taking ac tion withU-eference to the price of cotton seeH. resulted in the organi zation of the "North Carolina Farm ers State .Association. Twenty-one counties were repre sented and the meeting was largely attended. The farmers who were present reoresented county organi zat'ons and they decided to meet the cotton seed oil trirst in its effort to keep down the price of cotton seed. The farmers of the State were urg ed by resolution unanimously adopt ed not to sell their cotton seed for less than twentj five cents a bushel or exchange on a basis of 2,000 pounds of seed for not less than 1. 333 1 3 pounds of cotton seed meal. The present price of cotton seed is from eighteen to twenty one cents and the advantage that will accrue to the formers of the State if they hold to the price agreed upon last night is estimated at two million dollars. - Two meetings were held yesterday afternoon and night,' and the con vention adjourred until this morn ing at nine o'clock Permanent organization was ef fected last night by the election of the following officers: President Dr, R. H. Speight, of Edgecombe. Vice-President Hector McLean of Scotland. Secretary and Treasurer T. B. Parker, of Hillsboro. The resolution fixing the price of cotton seed, which the convention unanimously adopted is as follows: Whereas the cofou crop is short and there is an increased demand for cotton seed for feeding, fertilizer and other purposes and whereas the present offerings of prices and terms of exchange for seed are below the real value of the seed. Be it resolv ed: That it is the deliberate judgment of this convention that seed are now worth to the farmers at home 25 cents a bushel or should be exchang ed on a basis of 2,000 pounds of seed for net less than 1.333J pounds of cotton teed mea' to analyze 8i per cent ammonia, and we advise and urge the cotton farmers of North Carolina not to sell or exchait;e at less than above prices, and we ask the earnest co operation of every nottou grower in North Carolina to this end.

THE ADDRESS TO THE FARMER To the cotton farmers of North Carolina At a meeting of delegates appoint ed to assemble in Raleigh on the 25th inst. , for the purpose of consid ering and deciding on the best meth od of securing a just and reasonable price for our cotton seed, it was a greed to organize under the name of "The North Carolina Cotton Farm ers btate Association and make such recommendations to those en gaged in raising cotton as might se care the enc in view. Alter full information presented by the State Agricultural Depart meut of the intrinsic value of cotton seed for fertilizing, stock feeding etc., supplemented by the individual knowledge and experience of the farmers present in relation to them, the following recommendations were made, and the undersigned appoint ed a committee to briefly outline the conclusions of the convention. That we should not dispose of our seed in case of sale, for less than twenty five (25) cents per bushel, or when exchanging the same to mills we should not receive less than 1 333J pounds of meal, analyzing 8J per cent ammonia for a ton of seed. This price was based on the present price ot cotton seed meal and oil. If these products advance in price the seed should sell at a higher price than 25 cents per bushel. In the event we are not able to sell or ex change on these terms, then it was recommended that we should use the seed on the farm fo- fertilizer, and wherever practicable there should be established by the farmers neigh borhood cotton seed oil mills. It was the sense of the convention that it. was preferable to exchange the seed for meat to be used on the farm rather than imnovflriah .h farm h the system of robbery so much prae- ticed by our farmery in making an outright sale of the id Tn all Case: of sale or exchange the pur- chaser should pay the freight on seed And t h-frmpr fri-rhr mpal Tt. was furthormnro rr to urge upon our friends the initior- tance ot njihip aodcountv organ 171;, ins to af-c-n nlixh this rlsirAh Uri- for wa fniir rpaiiro that m.u - 1 - . .
