LET US START THE WORK.
The wheat crop in Newton coun¬
ty, this year, was a fairly good one
I
——in fact, better t Is a si tv« Jaavg
in many years.
But it should be made larger and
better next year.
There is no reason why it can¬
not be made larger every year un¬
til the crop is at least large enough
to supply the entire population of
the county, if the proper effort is
made to do it.
Every farmer knows it is the
merest folly to raise cotton at pres¬
ent prices, to buy corn and wheat
at the present market quotations.
Therefore, that sort of “financial
farming’’ will not do. It is cheaper
to raise corn and wheat than it is
to raise cotton to buy them. More

ing of cereals and other food and
provender crops.
In order to encourage the farm¬
ers—the producers of the county—
and to inspire them to greater ef
fort in the production of wheat and
corn and hay, the Star would sug¬
gest that they meet and organize a
local farmers’ club, and offer some
handsome prizes for the best bush¬
el of wheat, corn, potatoes, and
other valuable products, raised in
Newton county, in 1902.
This is the way to inspire our
farmers to greater effort in the pro¬
duction of all food crops in our
county, and will do much to help
our people in many w’ays.
Other counties are moving in
these matters, and much good is
being accomplished in the raising
of more and better and cheaper

th« Assassin to Die.
Leon F. Czolgosz, the assassin of
President McKinley, has been tried,
convicted and sentenced to death.
He will be electrocuted on Mon¬
day, October 28, 1901.
But a little more than a month
will then have elapsed from the
day he shot the president until the
day of his electrocution.
What a dreadful lesson his case
presents. Young, strong, and in¬
telligeut to a degree, what a terri¬
ble calamity he willfully and wan¬
tonly wrought in one evil moment,
by which he threw the whole coun¬
try into mourning, and brought a
horrible ending to his own worth
less life,
With the scorn and hatred of
all mankind, he will go to his death
unwept, unhonored, and unsung, a
scab upon humanity in this en¬
lightened day of Christian civiliza¬
tion.
And yet, who can refrain from
extending him a pitying thought
in his extreme and terrible wretch¬
edness ?
The Christian heart cannot es¬
cape it.

Czolgosz Pronounced,
Editor Star—Dear Star—
Because of its difficulty and the
ambiguousness of its pronuncia¬
tion by some of the daily newspa¬
pers, some of your readers would
probably appreciate a correct pro¬
nunciation of the name of the an¬
archist Czolgosz.
Here it is, by authority of Funk
and Wagnail, on the Polish lan¬
guage :
Cz-ch, as iu church ; oz, as o in

Minister Wu, the Chinese am¬
bassador at Washington, seems to
be able to give the American gov¬
ernment some good advice. He
says we ought to exclude the an
archists from this country, and so
we ought, but how can we do it ?
If they violate our laws they will
be punished for it. But we cannot
