 Jessie Shores. a boy of IA, received the wound and Johnnie Thompson. Of the same age, was taken in charge by the police, but soon released as young Shore injury was clearly accidental Thompson and Shores went over to Cypress Pond with other small boys to spend sunday afternoon. One of the lads had F. calibre pistol and 1t was the center or at. traction. The owner tried to empty It or all the cartridges but one of them be- came damned. He asked Thompson 10 get the cartridge out and while Thomp. son was struggling with the weapon IL was discharged Jessie Shores was stand ing directly in front of the pistol and the bullet went straight to his head. It en- tered the right eye near the corner ana went through the ball. The wounded boy was carried to the home of his parents on Bainbridge Street.

GOVERNMENT FARM CLEANER
How Uncle Sam Is Experimenting
 With tbe Angora Goat.

Uncle Sam Is at work at a, lively rate to test the real value of the greatest ot farm cleaners. the Angora goat.
 A recent article in The Washington Times calls attention to the fact that the United States Government is much interested in the raising of Angora goats at an experiment farm in Maryland. six teen miles from Washington This is the largest goat farm in the country and from it fiocks are being shipped in large numbers. Fifty-one choice animals re- gently went to ex-Secretary of the Navy William C. Whitney for his large stock farm near Boston. Another lot of 1, 300 goats was sent to another big ranch at Oakland. Md, and smaller lots are shipped South as fast as they can be spared.
 At the Government experiment farm some 2,500 goats have been housed and the way In which they have cleaned off the brush and prepared the way for the cultivation of land is almost wonderful. This farm is located near Cedarville. and comprises 1600 acres in Prince George and Charles counties. It may be said that the Angora goat goes far ahead of any ostrich In the capabilities of its digestion. It delights to charge at a tangled thicket and growth of underhrush, and the way in which the unsighty weeds and twigs disappear effects marvellous change in the appearance of the place where they are browsing.
 The 2500 goats kept at Cedarville were housed at night under a shed 300 feet long. while during the day they range about in search of food. There Is no blush on the ground now. Along the fences and In the bottoms, where under growth and brush was the worst, therC are now open vistas and thoroughly cleared-up fields,

Electricity and Life


 Word comes from London by way of the newspapers of new cure for. con sumption-the use of figh-tension electric currents. 5000 volts or so. The matter Is exploited in the usual fashion. To encourage the readers imagination. he Is treated to graphic comparisons of the
 awe-inspirtng force" of 80, 900 volts. It takes but 300 to run an electric locomo- i've or trolley car. Only 1 800 volts are used In the electrocutions. The inference Is that the force of 5000 must be dread ful. It Is not One of Tesla's really solid contributions to scientific progress in this held was to produce currents of enorm- ous tension and great frequency of alter nation, and to show that these are harm less as they pass through the body. A man may allow Teslas currents. as they are called all the world over. amounting 2 10 hundreds of thousands and even mil lions of volts, to flow through him and hardly be aware of the fact Indeed, where shock from a thousand volts may be fatal If the quantity be sufficient. of million one may be unconscious. Above a moderate tension the current be comes less and less painful and danger ous the higher the voltage, until with the electromagnetic currents of incned ible frequency. which We call light. they may act upon even so sensitive sur lace as the eye without harm

PATROLMAN'S HARDL0l
OFFICER NoRTHINGToN WAS
 QUARANTINED AT HOME.
Because His Daughter Had Diph- theria-Will Probably Ask Coun- ell for His Lost Pay
 of $46.

At the next meeting of the City Council 1t is probable that an ordinance for the relief of Patrolman J. D. Worthington will be presented.
 Patrolman Worthington is a victim of hard circumstances. His case presents a most unusual aspect. He Is asking from the city his pay for three weeks on the police force during which time he was kept at home by the illness of his little daughter with diphtheria. The amount that he asks for approximates $4s.
 Several weeks ago his little daughter was stricken with diphtheria and MT. Worthington was notified by the city health authorities that he must either re- main at the house altogether or stay away from home all the time. He was told that he could not serve on the police force, coming from an infected house. He was given the privilege of staying at home altogether or staying away alto gether.
 He chose to remain with his daughter The police department. however. deducted the time lost from his February pay.
 In view of the circumstances it is un- derstood that an ordinance will be pre- scented which will pay him for the lost lime

bia, C., by the Sultan of Turkey. The gift was made to MT. Davis in recogni- tI,a to the great services he at that time rendered the Turkish Government In connection with experiments in cotton culture in the Ottoman empire. The an- imals prI sented bs the Sultan were from Asia M nor and the best that could be obtained. From this stock a large por- ton ot those that are now in the United States came.
 It must be told, however, and rather as a joke upon gift, giver and recipient. that tho goats were meant to be and supposed to be of the famous Cashmere breed, and from this mistake there were many mistakes made reaching over long period of years.
 There Is no other wool as beautiful as mohair wool nor as durable. A pair of socks of this wool were worn for six years and often washed and still did not wear out. All the plush for car seats Is made of mohair wool, and the most of 1t is imported. Some day all this wool will be grown in this country, but now 1t comes from Turkey and Asia Minor, the natural home of the goat

Kentucky Farmers Are Alive.

Some Kentucky farmers are evidently alive to the fact that the goat is the champion world-cleaner of brush and weeds. A reprinted article from a Cray son County paper appeared in The Cour- ier-Journal a few days ago telling of a herd of goats purchased by farmer living at Falls of Rough to clear up scrubby ground. Following this article apepared a notice of a carload from Ten nessee for sale by a prominent Louisville butcher. When the seeker after goat knowledge hunted up the advertiser through many winding and devious alleys of the East End, he found dozen goats left out of the carload. The rest had evil dently gone to eat brush with great dis patch. The purchasers were found to be farmers and few went to those inevit- able small boys about town who never could grow to manhood without touch of goat fever. Fifty went out on the Brownsboro pike to clean up a place. On inquiry the goat market in Louisville was found to be no inconsiderable one and almost strictly in the hands of two butchers living on and near Story Ave- nue, Fred Hoerter and F. J. Humbert. These men do a steady business in goats and are rarely without some stock on hand.
 It only remains to add that the goat requires little attention beyond a shelter of an ordinary sort; water and unlimited brush, grass or weeds. It Is also as well to add that the fields to be cleaned will look a3 if a cyclone had passed over them ahd bs a surprise to the oldest inhab- itauts

 Opelika, March 3.-(SpeciaD-Mr. Will liam Barber of Phoenix City died there few days ago, aged 2S years He was very popular.
 A killing occurred on the farm of T. J. whatley near Opelika last night. Sam Matthews shot Link Dallas. It seems from the reports that Matthews had had trouble with other peoples cows eating his cotton seed and becoming exasperat. ed, shot a COW. Dallas heard the shot and seeing the trouble, thought 1t was his COW and came to the scene with his shot gun and quarrel ensued. Mat, thews says he did not shoot Dallas untii had been knocked down several times: Matthews is now in the hands of Sherin Hodge
 MT. and Mrs. A. M. Blalock lost their infant Friday at their home in this city. It had been sick some time.
 Lee County has suffered another terrible loss in the matter of bridges. The Decem- Der freshet cost the county over $l0WW besides nearly running many roads. The rain of Thursday wrecked or damaged thirteen more bridges entailing loss Of about $10,0O0 more. This is only the loss of the county. Many small bridges belong ing to private parties were swept away and fields were washed and torn. The county is now staggering under about as heavy a burden as 1t can carry and this misfortune comes with unusually heavy effect. Judge Renfro Is doing all he can 10 get the DriuSeS TepdHcu.

 The Methodists of the city held a called conference at their church yesterday to hear the report of the Board of Stewards on the death of Dr. Moore. the pastor. and the way they had arranged the busi- ness details of the church in the emer- gency with which they had been suddenly confronted. Rev. J. s. Frazer preached ablest sermon ever delivered in this city. The Board of Stewards donated to Mrs. Moore the balance of the salary that would have been earned by Dr. Moore during 1902 $500, and the use of the parsonage for the rest of the year. They also agreed to raise an extra assessment of $ 900 to pay another preacher for the balance of the year. and the assessment will be prorated according to the present assessment. This will bring the amount to be raised this year for salary of pas equal the emergency. This amount does not include the salary of the pastor of the Second Methodist Church in West End. The Board of Stewards also agreed to pay the funeral expenses of Dr. Moore. Rev. J. W. Shoaf formerly of Baltimore but now of the University of Greensboro, has ben appointed to Opelika by Bishop Hendrix and has accepted. He is a bril- liant divine and will fill with satisfaction the place made vacant by the death of the beloved MT. Moore.

ST. ELIZABETH HOSPITAL

It is said that the Hospital marks the ad vance of civilization. The modern Hospital is certainly much more than Ia refuge for the sick and injured" Many of the problems of medical treatment, of surgery, etc., have been worked out within it's walls. It is the seat of all that is best in practice or in remedies, and the fact that Dr. liar ter's Iron Tonic is used in 50 many Of the best hospitals is tribute to it's merit. Years ofexperience and patient trial have demon strated its usefulness and reliability for convalescents, in cases of debility, old age, loss of appetite, impoverished blood, etc, and hence it has been generally adopted. Don't be fooled. New and miraculous remedies are put on the market every day, with a great noise and a bewldering lot of faked testimonials. Don't be deceived, you know that Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic is all right or it would have been crowded out of the market years ago, along with the many others that have come and gone. It has not only survived but hourished be- cause it has genuine merit.
 Dayton, Ohio, Feb r, 1901
 "A As an experiment we began using Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic in St. Elizabeth Hospit- al, in the treatment of convalescents and cases of chronic debility and have found it very efflcacious. We also found it particu- larly valuable in treatment of senility, loss of appetite, or impoverished blood. We recomm And it highly

High-priced Importations.

The exportation of goats from Turkey Is forbidden. but notwithstanding this. a few are coming in all the time. Some of these bring as high as q 1000 each. A number of the high priced goats descend- ed from those that are descendants of the Sultan's gifts have gone to the South west, where goatbreeding and raising bids fair to become a great factor in the de- velopment of desert lands. Here it may be observed that the old advice as to keeping of goats. Its just as cheap to keep a good goat as a bad goat" When the prospective goat keeper is informed that the price of goats varies from $ to H,ooo for choice Angoras, he thinks he might as we'll keep a good goat.

A Large Number in the Country

The Goternment bureau interested in this experiment station Is receiving thOus- ands of letters from all over the country. Already there are over 100000 Angora goats in this country, and the annual production of mohair wool Is more than a million pounds. This winter about 1.500 goats were retained at the Government experiment farm, and in the spring there will be l000 kids there.
 From the first, however. these animals received the serious attention of breed CTS beCausr of the value of the mohair wool. The Government, however regards the AngOra goat as valuable, not only for its use to manufacturers. but as the farm cleaner par excellence, the best known agent in the whole world for cleansing brush off from land which. but for that. would be under cultivation. By the means of this little animal all the abandoned farms could in a few years be reclaimed and under cultivation. This matter is presented to the attention of the average Kentucky farmer whose yearly fight with weeds costs him untold lAbJ' ana many hard-won dollars.
