~SASN peared with his American
~W wife, his American frock
W. coat, his almost American
daughter and $4,000 worth
of American made family jewels be-
fore the federal commissioner in Jer-
sey City the other day. With his
slick short hair, his smile and his
pearl stickpin, he did not look in the
least like an agent of a great secret
body whose arms stretch mysterious
ly from the Orient both ways around
the bulge-of the world, whose men
rob, lie, bride and kill to get their
human contraband undiscovered
across our border, whose sinking slav-
ers come sneaking down with doused
lights from two oceans on our coasts,
a corporation which here, in the Unit
ed States of America, holds hundreds
of men in bondage often little light
er than that of the southern negroes
before the war.
Yet such are the companies which
manage the trade in struggled Chi

conspiring to smuggle Chinese labor

had charged the harmless looking DR..

Secret Company at Work.
The cost of passage from China to
the west coast of Mexico is something
like $3.50, even at the lowest steerage
rates, and to reach Jamaica costs
about $50 more. Adding the $3.50 or
$500 for the perilous journey in the
schooner and the still more perilous
landing, it costs about $500 to bring
a Chinaman into the eastern states.
Now, if any one of these men who
risk their yellow necks to land here
had had anything like $500 saved up
at home in China, he could have lived
in luxury all the days of his life. and
all his children and grandchildren
with him. Then, why do these men
want to come to America?
The answer is simple. Not one OF
the immigrants had saved anything to

cankerworm Injuring Orchards.

Great injury has been done to the
orchards in Butler county this spring
by the canker worm. This worm has
destroyed about 200 acres of apples
alone besides injuring other fruit
trees. The worms disappeared about
five days later this year than is usual
for them and although large spray
pumps were kept at work in some
of the orchards all the time, the
worms seemed to prosper so much
they staid longer than usual. The
damage done by them is not fully
known but thousands of dollars is
already reported.

TEST FARM MAN IN TERRELL
ALMOST CERTAIN TO GET ONE
OF CENTRALS STATIONS
MIR. Chastain Said the Two Sites Of
fered in This County Were the
Best He Had Seen.

Mr.. T. G. Chastain. the Central
railroads farm expert, who has been
touring the entire system inspecting
the various tracts of land that have
been offered the road for the fifteen
experimental farms it will establish,
was at Dawson Tuesday for the pur-
pose of looking at the land that had
been rendered in Terrell county. He
came here from Randolph county,
where he inspected three places.
Two tracts were offered the Cen
trail in this county-one by Mr.. ].
f. Cooke on his farm two and a half
miles east of Dawson on the Bron-
wood road, and one on the farm of
Mr.. j. A. Ferguson the same distance
west of Dawson on the Graves road.
Mr.. Chastain was highly pleased with
both places-in fact, he said they
were ideal for the purpose and about
the best that had been offered on all
Of the lines of the road 1t would
be difficult to choose between them,
he said, should it be finally decided
to locate one of the model farms
here.
Mr.. Chastain did not commit him
self to the location of a farm in Ter
rell county, but it is known that he
was highly pleased with both of the
tracts of land that were placed at
his disposal and most favorably i'm
pressed by the interest shown in the
movement by the people here.
The good roads of the county also
attracted his attention, and he said
they were the best he had seen in
all of his travels.
The object of these farms is to
give practical demonstration of the
productive possibilities of Georgia
soil, and the consequent result will
no doubt be an increasing interest in
agriculture. The Central's interest
is solely to give practical tests of the
methods of farming that are advocat-
ed by the state college of agricult-
ure, and to promote in any way pos
sible scientific farming along it's va
rious lines.
Wherever a farm is located the
road will have the soil analysed by
the state college of agriculture and
any deficiency in plant food will be
supplied by properly balanced fer
tilizer The land is to be prepared,
fortified and cultivated according
to the method of the state college
of agriculture and under the direc-
tions of Mr.. Chastain, who will visit
the farms every two weeks.
The Central will guarantee the
farmer against loss, and all profits
that may accrue will go to the farm

ARE DISGRACE TO DAWSON
POSTOFFICE FIXTURES OLD, d.
LAPIDATED AND INADEQUATE
Would Not DO Credit to Backwoods
Village, Much Less City With Free
Delivery and Postal Bank.

The equipment of the Dawson post
office has long been a subject of much
unfayorable comment by the general
public and of indignation on the part
of some of the patrons of the office
who have had to contend with it.
1t would not reflect any special
credit upon an up to date rural viii
lage, much less meeting the require
ments of an office in a town whose
postal business amounts to $4,000
annually and has city mail delivery
and a postal savings bank
None of the boxes and drawers
are what they should be in an office
of the class of Dawson's, but one
section Of them is especially anti
Quated and dilapidated, having been
in service many years ago when the
office was of the fourth class and the
postmaster was paid by the amount
of stamps he cancelled. These boxes
are nearly all out O. repair, 1t is diff
fcult to keep The locked, and it
is frequently the case that they are
open and the mail they are intended
to hold is lying on the floor of the
lobby on the outside.
1t is understood that the owner of
the pOstoffice building and the pres
ent fixtures some months ago sub
mitted a bid to the department at
Washington in which he offered to
install new and modern fixtures, and
although it was approved by the post
master no action has yet been taken
on it.
Uncle Sam is too enterprising
gentleman and too careful of the rep
utation he has for giving the people
ttrst-class service in everything to
longer treat with indifference the
pressing need for new and better
fixtures in the Dawson postoffice.
Do something, Uncle Sam, and
the Dawson members of your family
will be duly appreciative and deeply
grateful

gether with a resolution to the same
