The Machinery Fund.

We give herewith the ternhs VI 'l0
machinery fund, to which we call the
especial attention of all the we'll
wishers of the 3 c C movement. We
have made a good start toward secur-
ing a large saw mill, at great bar
gain. and have money enough sub
scribed to pay for it and transport 1t
to the colony grounds. But, in order
to put it to work we will be bound to
have a donkey engine. The saw mill
has been paid for by those already on
the ground, practically, and now we
call on the reserves and everyone
who can do even a little tor socialism
to get US the donkey engine. Here
are the terms on which the machine
~ fund is to be raised.
Resolved, That the general assem-
bly, hereby create a special fund to
be known as the MACHINERY Fund,
to begin October LIST, 1898. Into this
fund shall be paid twenty-five per
cent of all cash salaries drawn by any
and all members of Equality and also
fifty per cent of all gross cash earn
ings of all machinery bought in whole
or in part by the machinery fund.
The payment of such earnings into
this fund shall begin six months after
the commencement of the operation
of such machinery in each particu-
lar case. This fund shall be for the
single purpose of repaying any and
all members and others who have or
shall hereafter contribute money or
its equivalent toward the purchase of
machinery for Equality colony. This
machinery fund may be discontinued
at any regular meeting whenever all
demands upon that fund shall have
been paid. All loans to this fund shall
be without interest. the principal to
be paid quarterly, and the amount
due each lender shall be calculated on
the ratio the amount of his loan
bears to the whole amount of the loan
and proportional to the amount in
the machinery fund at the time of
each quarterly payment. In no case
shall this fund be used except as
herein stated. The disbursement of
this fund shall be in the same manner
as other moneys of Equality are paid
out.
Now in view of the fact that our
own resident brothers show such prac-
ical faith in the colony by such large
subscriptions, does it not appear that
the reserves can well afford to place
a small amount each, guaranteed as
it is by the contract. Little added to
little makes the mighty aggregate
that viii put the pioneer workers for
socialism in a position to become self
supporting in a very few months,
Just let that self-supporting point be
reached and then our membership
fees can be used for more and more
machinery, and the material success
will be assured. 1t is then seen to be
both economical and wise to strength.
en- the machinery fund now Sub.
scribe now, and by the time we have
the saw mill set up, we Will be able to
order the donkey engine and 90 to
work at once.
Brother socialist, you are next.

PEMBROKE POINTERS.
Daniel Benton Moves Away on Ac-
count of Threat.

Pembroke, Ga, July 1S.-Daniel Benton,
the father of young Thomas Benton, who
was killed by Willie Brown, a short time
ago. heard threats that IL Willie Brown
was hung for the murder of his son Thorn
as that he and his entire family would be
killed He did not pay much attention
to it, One night his dogs kept up such
continual barking that he went out with
gun In hand TO see IL he could find out
the cause Just as he got out where he
could be heard, he heard reueating root
steps He fired his gun in the direction
and then went back into the house ana
heard no more noise that night. Next
morning Mr.. Benton went out to his gate
and found thereon a note, stating that he
had better be aware of how he conducted
himself as he and his family would go as
his son Thomas Odd. He investigated
further and found numerous tracks about
the gate which he supposed We're negro
tracks. Mr.. Benton became apprehensiVe
for the safety of himself and family and
thought it best to move, so he moved TO
Clyde.
The sentiment against Willie Brown is
still very strong, and IL is hoped that he
will not get a new trial. and that he will
pay the death penalty on the galiows Tor
his dastardly deed in numbering the help
less boy Thomas Benton.

ROUGH ON THE RESERVES.
Government Not to Take Any of the
Officers Into Service.


Brunswick Ga, July i3.-some Of tho
brunswick Naval Reserve officers were
thoroughly Disguised and disappointed on
receiving information this morning thar
the mastering officers now In Savannah
would not take Into the service any OF the
officers of the Georgia naval militia. This
state or affairs leaves the men who are
enlisted In the position where as one Of
them expressed It they "can enter the
navy and take their chances with China
men and other colors" of citizens which
form the personnel OF the enlisted men on
board of warships. The Brunswick off,
GERS were Informed of the turn-down Of
the naval militia officers by telephone
message from Savannah The message al
so stated that 1t was very probable that
the regular officers in the navy objected
to so many naval militia men getting IN
the regular service, hence the reason for
not having the Georgia officers examined
and commissioned. On receipt of this
message some of the officers decided to
let the entire matter drop and give up all
Idea of ever getting into service. Others.
however, began wiring the Georgia con-
gressmen and also requested Savannah
officers to cooperate with them in having
the Georgia officers given a chance TO get
In the service
1t need not be surprising If the naval

when efforts were made to publish truths
about their troubles the boys thought the
newspaper men were doing them an injus-

out In meeting and some of their express
sions are more emphatic than elegant.
Some have decided to stay out of the
war altogether, while others are going
into the infantry branch The reserves
do not see what encouragement there Is
for them to keep up their organizations.
They have tried as hard as any set OF
men ever did to fight for their country
and prove loyal to the flag, but as the
department does not seem to want to give
them as good a chance as has been grant
ed commands in other branches of the
service, they do not feel like playing tin
soldiers any longer.

Company G, Sixth Ohio, was sentenced
for the same offense to pay a fine of $50

Manufactures Comes Forward With
Donation of $500.
Atlanta, Ca. July 1S.-The proposed tex
tile department of the Georgia School Iof
Technology has received a donation of
$500 from Aaron French, a prominent
manufacturer of Pittsburg, Pa OF this
amount $500 is given Internationally and
$1,000 is donated upon condition that he
people of Georgia raise an equal amount.
This gift is the result of an acquaintance
ship formed between MIR. French and
President Lyman Hall of the Technolog-
ical School, who met at Skyuka, n. c., Aast
summer.
Mr.. Hail told Mr.. French of the Techno.
logical School and it's work, and the Pitts
burg manufacturer became deeply inter-
ested in the institution and indicated his
intention to send his son here this fall.
When the Legislature appropriated $1O,-
COO to the school to establish a textile de-
partment upon condition that an equal
amount should be raised from other
sources, Mr. Hall wrote Mr.. French, ask
ing him for donation for the institution.
That gentleman replied with check for
SlOO as a starter, saying that he would
look into the matter and might be heard
from again.
Last week Mr.. French wired President
Hall to meet him al Skyuka. They met
and after considerable conversation Mr.
French handed Capt, Hall check for
$3.50 as an unconditional donation to the
school. MIR Hall told him of the situa-
ton with reference to the $4,000 appropri-
alton by the state of Georgia which is held
up pending the receipt of papers to show
iTrevocable donations to the amount of
more than $4,000. Mr.. Hall thought the
people of Atlanta would raise $1,000 If as
much could be raised from any other
source. Upon this Mr.. French promptly
offered to donate the other SO 900 upon this
condition. in addition to the 50 800 he had
already given. The city of Atlanta VIII
be asked to give the other 50, 500 and make
good the last donation of Mr.. French, the
friends of the school think this will be
| done.
