Beware of the Anora Goat.

To the Editor: / read an article IN
the News and Observer of today headed
THE Angora Goat by Harvey Jordan,
and for fear some one may be led into
buying an Angora / wish to drop little
word of caution. | don't know Mr.. Jor-
dan. but | do know the Angora goat |
tried him to the tune of SIS and express
charges. / kept him on my place for
about five years, that is, | tried to keep
him on my place, but the Angora goat is
somewhat like Josh Billings mule, when
you want him in your pasture you better
turn him in the meadow near by l
found the Angora a hard animal to con-
fine. He can walk a rail fence like a
cat and you cannot put barred wire so
close that he will not get through, over
or under it when it thunders. The An
CORA is very much afraid of thunder, and
makes for home and the stable whenever
a thunderstorm comes up.
l bought three Angoras to eat the
golden rod out of my COW pacture, but
considerable cotton in the field next to
my pasture, and my neighbors' cotton on
the other side | put more barbed- wire
on my fence till it held the jack rabbit,
but the Angora came home when the
storm came up" Ny goats were beauties
to look at They had long grumpy wool,
white snow, but they were very small.
and it was amusing to see the goats
squeeze through my wire fence and take
a tTot for home at the first signs of
storm. My wire fence looked as though
you had hung Angora wool out to dry.
1t was covered with wool, left on the
tarbs when the goats would go through
it.
l offered tc sell my goats at $500
apiece but found no bidder l sheared
them for five years and l do not think
/ have ten pounds of wool nOw-and l
have it ALL never sold any. l wrote
the manager of the Biltmore estate at
Asheville if he would not make me an
offer for my goats and he replied that
he had turned his herd out in the noun
tains to care for themselves that they
had been found Improbable. | wrote the
rarity who sold me the goats to know
what kind of meat the AngOras would
rake to eat. He replied the meat was
all right but little dear. l thought so,
too, for the first time l sheared mine
tney COulu not NC hepI out Vi my bti III anu
stables. The very minute a stable door
was opened the goat was Insane way
with the barns and other houses.
finally gave my goats to a neighbor to
raise on halves, and about a year after
ward / found one of our butchers had
some unreasonable and very small lambs
hanging on his stall which. on investiGa-
ton, | found to be my Angoras. So
advise your readers not to go into the
Angora goat business. Belgian hares may
be profitable. or it might pay to run a
poultry yard but l would sooner shy up
against a three-card monte man or d
wheel of fortune than to again tackle
the Angora goat. A word to the wise is
sufficient.

OVerman For Senator.

To the Editor Democrat will be
elected to succeed Senator Pritchard,
whose term expires next year. Among
the able, distinguished and learned Demo-
Gratis mentioned is the favorite son of
Rowan Hon. Lee s. Overman than
whom there is not truer or more pa
tIiotic Democrat in the State. AS pri-
5yate secretary to both. Governors Vance
and Jarvis. he first attracted attention.
and then4la later a president of the North
Carolina Railroad and Speaker of the
House. The people of the entire State
learned to honor this truly great man.
We are for Overman for Senator because
he deserves the honor and because there
is not man in the State better equipped
for the place. He has made the State
his debtor along many lines; he has
been in every campaign for many years
doing what he could for Democracy. and
the people can show their appreciation
in no better way than by elccting him to
the Senate. With Simmons and Over
man in the Senate North Carolina can
once more lift up her head in the sister
hood of States. Handsome in person.
magnetic in voice and manner. friendly
in disposition and refined and modest
as a tender woman. he possesses to a.
remarkable degree the great qualities
which place him in the front rank with
North Cardinals most distinguished sons
3 1t is TO be truly hoped that the good
people Of our beloved Carolina will send
Ovcrman to the Senate. He will repre-
sent the best interests of the State in
the Senate.

Judgment Suspended on Payment of
Costs.
Monroe Enquirer. &

We have heard number Of people in
terested inquiring why their school dis
tricts were not apportioned as much
money as they were last year. The an
swer is easy. Simply because there was
not as much money to appropriate this
year as there was last year. The board
of education found that there was fall
ing off of about 81 900 in the way of fines
from the Superior court this year which
went to the public school fund. The
superintendent of public instruction is
using every means to get more funds
from the State and it is hoped that
Union county portion of the $1,000,0o5
extra appropriation by the state for
public schools will be in Land in the
near future.

A NECESSARY ADJUNCT.

There is nothing mysterious about the
ability of some people to have luxuri
Gus garden during nearly every month in
the year, while others only have a few
stalks OF collards in the fall. The man
with a first cass garden is apt to
have an abundance of home raised corn
and meat on hand also. 1t is simply the
difference between thrift and success on
the one side and carclessness and indif-
ference on the other At this time when
provisions of all kinds are sos high in
price, the garden becomes a necessity
whether it be a pleasure or not, yet
there is no part of the farm which should
give more genuine pleasure to the owner
and to all members of his family. than
garden filled with luxuriant growing
vegetables all nicely worked and in invit-
ing condition. There is no vegetable su-
perior to asparagus and yet there are but
few asparagus beds to be found on the
average farm. A splendid dinner can be
served with a small piece of bacon and
variety of vegetables. Man was origi-
nally vegetarian and the hardest work
ed men would require but little of the
expensive breads and meats usually found
on our tables through the spring and
summer If The kitchen garden received
the care and attention ii ought to have.
We need revival of interest along this
line of our agricultural work A first
class garden this year on every farm in
the South would mean the saving of mil
lions of dollars which will otherwise
flow into the pockets of Western meat
and grain dealers. The size of the kitch-
en- garden spot may look like small af-
fair from the outside, but to the man
who has to foot the table bills the year
round it should mean a regular savings
bank. HARVIE JORDAN

the soil and then the land broken deep
ly and narrowed over several times to
secure perfect filth condition. / have
never yet heard of an instance where too
much barnyard manure was spread on
the garden, or where the vegetables had
been overworked. We should therefore
fertilize as heavily as possible, prepare
the land thoroughly and then stir the soil
around the growing vegetables as often
and as rapidly as possible.
A COMMON HOT BED.
In those sections where it is yet too
early to expose the tender plants in the
open SOIL we can obviate the difficulty
by building a cheap hot bed in which the
seeds of different plants may be germi
mated now and transplanted out in the
garden when the condition of the wealth
er permits. / have for many years used
an Inexpensive hot bed with good results
for growing early lettuce, raddish, salad,
cabbages,, etc. The best place to locate
a common hot bed or cold frame. is in
the rear of an outbuilding facing the
south. Get either a southeastern or
southern exposure with protection from
the cold western and northern winds. Lay
off place six feet wide by Is to 20 feet
long and fork the ground up deeply.
Then spade off about four inches of the
top soil and spread on about three inches
same down firmly by stamping. Next
throw on the soil which was first re-
moved and build cheap plank wall

it will be astonishing to know what an
adjunct to the table it will give in

In such bed cabbages. tomatoes. pep

than the common plan of using little

There is but little work needed
to have good hot bed of the kind named.
and there is so much more satisfaction
in making a proper effort to have the
kitchen garden success, than in de-

men who follow the noble profession of
farming. Any man who has the proper
regard for his wife and wants to aid her
in the management of her housekeep-
ing duties. will always prepare and fur
