The SAN JOSE SCALE.
FRUIT GROWERS HAVE ANOTHER
DEADLY ENEMY TO FIGHT.
Peach Trees in Georgia SAID to BE
in Imminent Danger. The Bng
Nan Makes Important
Discoveries.

The following telegram from Atlanta
shows that the fruit growers have anoth-
er enemy to fight, and probably the most
relentless they have ever met:
''The state entomologist, who was ap-
pointed under an act of the last legisla-
ture, has made some important discover
les among tn peach orchards.
SIN letters to the department Of agri-
culture he has reported the existence of
the deadly San Jose scale in some of the
orchards of Marshal!vlle and in Decatur
! and Thomas counties.
''It is feared that this insect pest will
be found all over the state and the vast
peach plantations of Georgia are in i'm
mnent danger.
"The San Jose scale is the work of
very minute insect, which was first dis
covered in this country five years ago,
and is supposed to have been brought to
California from Chile or China. 1t is
even more dreaded among peach growers
than the blight is among pear growers.
1t is harder to be COPIED with than any
insect pest that has ever been known,
and the United States department of ag-
riculture has spent great deal of time
and money trying to find means to eXter-
inmate I0.
Some time ago the Valdosta Times
published remedy for San Jose scale,
blight ETC., which was secured from
Elder w. w. Stone of Washington Terri
tory and was recommended as having
proved to be a very effective remedy for
the plague. As this is the season OF the

CHRISTIAN COMMON WEALERS
A PECULIAR COLONY IN WESTERN
GEORGIA,
No Man Is Allowed to Own or Control
Any Property or Have ANY
Money of His Own.

special from Macon to the Atlanta
Journal says: A little colony on the
Central railroad, about twelve miles from
Columbus, is represented here today by
Mr.. A. II. Pease, one of the members
who is out doing some missionary work
for the colony.
1t is known as the "Chrstlan Common
wealth. " and while it took root in this
state over a year ago very little has
been said about it, but it is, notwith-
standing this, one of the most remarka-
bic in the United States.
It is organized somewhat on the lines
of the proposed colony which Eugene V.
Debs has spoken of, and which he pro-
poses to form at some point in this
country
Cooperation is its first principle, but
this particular colony has more of re-
ligous aspec: than that proposed by
Debs. Mr.. Pease is one of the most in-
teresting characters imaginable. de was
formerly mechanic living at Spokane,
Wash. and was in good circumstances.
He says that for many years be had
been troubled in his mind about the ex-
isting conditions and the effect of the
competitive system. He believed it to
be wrong, and, like others of the work
ing element, he blamed the rich men of
the country for the oppression of the
working man; his mind was inflamed; it
was arrayed against wealth as merciless.
But it gradually dawned on him that the
individual responsibility of the working
man was as great as the responsibility of
the individual of wealth, and that the
working man was as much responsible
for the existing conditions as was the
rich man.
The reading of Bellamy's Choking
Backward" and of other books on the
same line gradually drew HIM to a reali-
cation of what be believed to be his duty,
and the outcome of it all was that he
sold all that he had and with his family
of a wife and two daughters drove
from Spokane to Georgia and joined with
this colony and became Christian Com
monwealer.
The general idea of these colonists is
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1898-03-30

that Christ came to teach the fundament-
al rules of life; that all that he said was
fundamental, and that he meant what he
said literally.
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self. On this hangs all the law and the
prophets" is the rule of life at the colo
ny.
They have no laws but this. The prop
erty of about 1000 acres, for which they
have paid and are paying for, together
with other things, such as saw mill, out
out of the common treasury, is held in
common in the name of trustees, and is
so held that no man can control any par
ticular share of the land or property.
Money, so far as the individually S con
cerned, is eliminated. None of the me n
bers handle money except as common
property. Each individual member of the
colony. man, woman and child, does a
full share IF the work, and all the work
is evenly distributed among tkem.
Their SORROWS, even, are shared, ana
each bears the Others burdens so far as
he can.
New Corners are welcomed and are Civ
en- a home so long as they do their share
of the work, abiding by the great rule of
universal brotherhood Each draws an
even share of the proceeds of the work
in the field or at the bench.
1t is simply wonderful to hear the con-
fidence and tire perfect faith of the man
who is here to represent them. Mr.. Pease
left the colony some six days ago and he
walked TO Macon, distance Of about 81
miles When asked why he had walked
he said:
"When | left the colony the last five
dollars was all that was lett 10 the COM
mon treasury. We have no money to
spend in railroad fare, but then l could
walk and as | went could see the peo-
pie and talk to them, telling them of
this colony and perhaps find some who
wanted to join us or were in sympathy
with us"

is 1T DOWN WITH THE PLAN.
TERS," MR.. SEWALL?

Is it down with the planters" Mr..
Sewau?
The planters, and those whose in
comes depend upon the returns Of the
plantations, and those who indirectly
make their living out of the business
connected with the plantations, that is
the merchants, the workmen, the COM
mercial marine, the hackmen, may now
see the attitude of the "Coon-Cat" can
didate towards the great sugar indus
try.
In order to discredit the Dole Gov
eminent, and advance Mr.. Sewall's in
terest, on the "Coon-Cat" ticket, his
Organ denounces the Dole Government
for admitting Japanese laborers, with
out which it is simply impossible to
operate the new plantations, or carry
ON the old plantations.
The Bulletin, Mr. Sewalls Organ,
charges in its issue of the 14th, the
Dole Government in these words:
"ACTION OF THE DOLE PARTY
AFTER ANNEXATION.-On Novem-
Der 3. 1888, President Dole and his
Cabinet authorized the importation of
5000 Japanese laborers into Hawaii"
The object of this charge is to make
it clear that Mr.. Sewall, a resident OF
Maine, should be appointed Governor
OF this Territory, because he is the
person who would, and will, if he has
the power, peremptorily stop this labor
immigration, and sacrifice our great
business interests. 1t means that if he
had been appointed Governor in place
OF President Dole, on Annexation day,
he would have forbidden the importa-
ton.
Those interested in the business in
austries of the country will see at once
the danger of carpet-bag government.
A man without stake in the country,
claims the Office Of Governor, on the
ground, among other reasons, that the
Dole Government permitted the new
plantations to begin the production OF
sugar. and also made it possible to
safely conduct the old ones. Carpet
bag rule usually manifests itself in its
energy for destruction.
Whatever may be the merits of the
labor question, and we are in favor OF
white labor if it is possible to obtain
il, and so is every member of the Dole
Cabinet, the planters are confronted
with the most serious questions IN
volving the labor supply. The Dole
Government, in order to prevent bank
ruptcy and ruin, permitted the lmpor-
tation of Japanese 1aborers. 1t was an
act of business necessity, and not oil
choice.
The citation of the action OF MI
Dole's Government in this matter, per-
mits no other conclusion, than that II
is regarded by the Only Candidate as
sound reason for appointing him &c
office. Those who have supported MIN
in the past, will see the danger tha'
threatens them.
