A PLEA FOR BILLY"

Some Things That Goat is Good for,
and What to Do With Him.
IA Friend of Goats" has been Investigate
ing the characteristics Of what he terms the
much abused animal.
In Switzerland and Greece a mans fortune
is measured by the size of his flock of goats.
In Switzerland the kids are killed as soon as
they are born, and skinned. After three or
four days life the skins become almost
worthless. The skin of a newborn kid
brings from IS cents to 81, and is the most
valued material fer kid gloves. The kid
glove industry is entirely dependent on the
goat. The supply of skins is mostly drawn
from mountainous countries, where no
other animal could make its living except a
goat.
The finest cashmere shawls are the pro-
duct Of the Angora goat, whose hair sells
readily at 81 pound, and cashmere shawls
worth 81, 900 are not uncommon.
Swiss aud Neufchatel cheese can only be
male from goats milk. Many an invalid
in Europe has regained his health after
using whey from goats milk.
Goat flesh Is as good as mutton and is
preferred by many. Goats are moro
hearty and more prolific than sheep. Some
species yield a hair which will bring more
money than wool, the Cashmere or An
CORA SOdJ lot lISIdUCe. ne goat, TOO. is
the poor mans COW. A good goat will
readily yield two quarts OF milk a day
which is equal in richness to three quarts of
cows milk. The goat lives on very little
and makes hearty meal on a few sheets of
brown paper.
"Will a boy who receives as a Christmas
present his first goat and cart" asks "A
Friend of Goats" lever feel as proud in
after life as he did then9 l say no. He
may own fast trotters and stylish turn
out, but it will never be with the same joy-
GUS heart and feeling experienced on
receipt of his first goat-sulky. The goat
has its proper place, which is certainly not
in the streets Of city nor in the orchard
of farmer, and he should be kept where
he belongs"
The climbing and jumping of the goat
can lie effectively stopped by boring gim-
let hole in the tip of his hoofs and inserting
a small copper wire through both holes and
/ twisting it together until it is tight
II the hoof of goat is examined it will
be found to have on the inside kind of
saw edge, and by spreading the claws of the
hoof it can hold on and climb almost any
| where and anything. Compelling the
hoofs to be closed will give the goat a few
falls aud he will never attempt to climb
| again.

ON ITS WAY TO THE SEA.

The Flood Showing Itself In the
River.
The effect Of the food is showing itself in
the river, but the great volume of water is
not expected here until tomorrow or next
day.
The rice planters are not at all apprehen-
sive about their fields, as the steady westerly
winds OF the past several days have driven
the water out, and, besides, the banks have
been greatly strengthened since the last
flood aud are capable Of standing a great
deal more pressure. The only danger would
be in case the wind should change to the
northeast, which would have the effect of
banking the water up, but this is hardly
likely to occur now.
Very little planting has been done yet,
and the most OF the rice in the fields is what
is called the open plant, which is capable of
standing water without damage for fifteen

THE LEASE ABOUT FIXED
THE CENTRAL TO BE TURNED OVER
TO TIE TER gINAL-

The Terms Practically Agreed Upon
and the Lease TO b. Close in a Short
Time-The Deedia Savannah's Favor.
More Western Freight to be Brought
This Way and the Ocean Steamship
Service to be Increased
There is no longer any doubt that the
Central railroad is be leased 70 the Rich
rupnd Terminal under the name OF she
Georgia Pacific railway. Negotiations are
now going on, ard It is but question OF q
short time when everything will be settled.
The terms of the lease are substantially as
stated in Yesterdays MORNING News.
The matter has been under consideration
and talked Of from time TO time for the past
two years, and it has been the favorite idea
of prominent Central officials TO c1rsohdate
the management of the road with its west
err connections in a way that would make
them work as one great system. thereby
making il to the interest OF the western
roads 10 turn their freight for New York
and eastern cities through Savannah for
transportation by the Ocean Steamship
Company's vessels.
The concentration Of more freight over
the Central's lines will mean the increase Of
the steamship service, aud the increase OF
that service will give Savannah the advan-
tage Of securing a great volume Of bust
ness from all competitive points in the con-
solidated railroad territory.
The advantage TO stockholders OF the road
by tbe lease in having dividends guaran-
teed is obvious to any one who will notice
the prices at which guaranteed stocks are
held in comparison with those non-guaran-
teed.
1t is understood that all Of the leading
Central officials are heartily in favor of the
lease, believing that it will result in untold
good to all concerned, and that 1t will make

be in Savannah to-day 10 attend the Hi

TWO TRAINS DELAYED.

The Flood Washes Away Couple OF
Bents OF the G. 81 S. Bridge.
Two bents of the river bridge of the
Charleston and Savannah railway, on the
South Carolina side, were washed out yes
terday by the food, and delayed the At
lantlc Coast Line train No. % and the fast
mail several hours, the trains not reaching
the city until after o'clock. The water
at the bridge and trestle is up TO the rails
and in some places CO Sers them, and it
took the officials some time last night to
decide on sending out a train, but this was
finally done on information that the water
was going down.
Some of the passengers who arrived on
the 6:22 o'clock train last night said that
they felt considerable anxiety while the
cars were making their way over bridge.
A strict watch is being kept on it, however,
TO prevent any accident.

Is seldom experienced. The rain, which
started early in the morning. continued all

business necessitated their being on the

rain was not of local character, but gen
eral throughout this section. At 1880

took measurements, the rainfall had
reached SO of an inch. The maximum tenn
perature was so and the minimum Az. The
prediction for to-day is rain and warmer

AT THE THEATER.
Frank Mayo in "Davy Crock ett'' on
the Boards Tonight.

Frank Mayo in "Davy Crock ett' on
the Boards Tonight.
Frank Mayo will present tonight the
drama which is almost a synonym of HIM
self, "Davy Crockett" The play is not an
elaborate one at ali, but, like many another
play, the genius of one man makes it great,
while the lack Of it would not carry the
piece beyond a first presentation. "Davy
Crockett is unlike any other play, IN that
it has not single strong point in itself; and
yet it is made one of the most entertaining
of representations, simply because a true ar
fist has conceived an ideal of the hero of the
play far above and beyond what an ordi-
nary man could have even dreamed. He
has taken a back woods hunter and given
him nobility of soul and high type OF
manliness that command the admiration
and honor of every one to whom he is in
troduced. He never loses his identity, never
forgets that he is what he is. His heart is
great and broad, like the forest he roams;
his love pure and simple, like the brook in
which he laves; his words full OF poetry,
but not the poetry Of the town; his tones
musical as the song Of birds and the whis-
pering Of summer leaves. Mayo's Crock
EFT" is piece of art as truly as Powers
Greek Slave.
