The Basis of Decency.
Public opinion pretty generally
rights itself in the long run, no mat
ter how far wrong it may go. There
is now noticeable in the country a
marked reaction against what has
como to bo known a "yellow jour
nalism" journalism of the lltsh va
riety ; journalism which revels in
crime and appeals to the most de
graded sentiment of the human
heart. Tho New York World ha
for years been the principal exemplar
of this stylo ot journalism, and
latterly it has had a lierce rival in
tho same field in tho New York
Journal. Now, a a contemporary
puts if, "many conservative business
men decline to allow their advertise
ment to apear iu those unclean
sheets, and score of public libraries
have refused them places in their
reading rooms, while tho press
generally i applauding every effort
mado to purge journalism of these
heartless offenders." It is well. The
public will be the better off, and
these journals themselves will feel
better for being disciplined and
brought down to tho basis of every
day decency. Statesvilllo Land

THE SAN JOSE SCALE,
WILMINGTON INFESTED WITH THE DE
structive pest. the discovery
was made by professor
McCarthy.
Professor Gerald McCarthy, of
Raleigh, state boafanist and ento
mologist, was in Wilmington yester
day. In view of tho discovery that the
"ban Jose Scale ' has mado its ap
pearand) in North Carolina, tho
general assembly at its recent session
passed an act creating "a commission
for the extermination of noxious in
sect, fungus diseases and weed
which are affecting many cro s."
1 ho act names tho etato commis
sioner of griculturo, tho director
of tho North Carolina agricultural
experiment station, and tho pres
idont of tho North Carolina state
Horticultural Society as the com
mission. Thecommission appointed
Professor McCarthy it agent to examine-
tho several nurseries in tho
state, as well a all fruit trees and
other tree growing in the state or in
transit in tho hand of common
carriers or elsewhere, and he
traveling through the state to carry
out the purposes of the commission.
In conversation with a Messengdr
representative at The Orton yester
day, Professor McCarthy stated that
ho visited a great many premises in
v iimington ana mat in every yam
where fiuit tiees were growing he
found the destructive "San Jose
scale." He also says ho found it in
tho nurseries and orchards up tho
Wilmington and V eldon railroad
and generally tnrongno.ni tne
a ii 1 . .
eastern part of the state. For that
matter, lie informs us that tho blight
is found throughout the state, and
that it is a gtavo menace to the
future of orchard culture in the
state.
It is not only found in small
communities but ia wide spread all
over tho 6tate. It has already de
stroyed several valuable orchards in
the central pirt of the state and has
ravaged several nurseries in tho
eastern section.
From Professor McCarthy we
learn that tho "San Jose scale" is of
recent introduction into North Caro
lina, having been discovered in some
sections of tho stae about a year
ago. It is an insect or parasite and
it is deadly to fruit trees, attacking
them generally in this order : Pear
trees, plum trees, peach trees, applo
trees, cherry trees, rose bushes, etc.
It will totally destroy a tree in from
three to four years and will make
fruit culture impossible in North
Carolina, if it is not stamped out.
It l for this reason that the com
iiiifsion wa established by the
general assembly.
Professor McCarthy advises that
no fruit trees whatever be planted
until tho pest ia stamped out of
existence. The parasite or insect is
carried from one tree to another by
the wind, by the feet of birds, and
bv other insects. H6 says radical
measures should be taken at once in

covered in the nurseries ot Mr.
James Lick, at San Jose, Cal., hence
ita name. It is supposed to have
been introduced iroin Chili. It
attacks the limbs and bodies of the
trees and is certain destruction it not
eradicated. The ' parasite adhere
to a limb and multiplies so prodig-
ously that the limb soon assume a
scaly apperance. Tho male and
female when young pass tho winter
beneath a waxy scale. About the
time the peach buds begin to swell
they come out and resume their
growth, which is soon completed.
The female gives birth to its young
instead of laying eggs and each pro
duces at the rate of two dozen young
a day. Starting with a single female
in the spring we may have at the
end of the fourth biood 3,000,000,-

steamer, " V illo do St. Nazitire,
from New York to tho West Indies,
sprang a leak during a storm. Ihe
passengers and crew, numbering
eighty persons in all, embarked iu
boats getting away from the ship
without water or supplies. Of the
eighty, scventy.ix perished ot
starvation and exposure, a number
becoming inanc before death came
to their relief. For daya, tho boats

Captain ot the coaster, not ono
