First Importation Of Aneoras.

First importation OF Angoras.
During the administration OF Presi.
dent Polk. the Sultan OF Turkey re.
quested OF him to recommend some
one who would experiment in cotton
culture In Turkey. Accordingly. DIR
James Il. Davis OF Columbia. s. G..
was recommended and received the
appointment. The work which he did
was so highly gratifying TO the Sultan
that. upon the return OF Or. Davis In
lS49, he reciprocated the courtesy OF
the President by presenting the doctor
With nine Angora goats. OF these,
seven were does and two were bucks
These goats were then and for many
years afterwards thought to DO OF the
Cashmere breed. from the fiber OF
which the costly Cashmere shawls
were made. AS they came TO be better
known, however. the differences be
tween the Cashmere and Angora
breeds were easily observed.
The Davis importation OF Angoras
was frequently exhibited at fairs, and
everywhere attracted much attention
and received favorable comments. II
was unfortunate for the industry at
that time that they were thought 10 be
of the Cashmere breed. for everything
that was known about the Cashmere
breed was claimed for these goats.
AS an Angora goat can not fulrll the
requisites OF n Cashmere goat any
more satisfactorily than Jersey cattle
can serve the purposes OF the beef
breeds, there was abundant room for
the disappointment which soon fol.
lowed and almost drove the Angora.
useful as II is now regarded, out Of
consideration.
In 1853 the Davis goats were pur.
chased by Col. Richard Peters. OF A..
lanta. Ga. with the exception Of one
owned by Col. Wade Hampton. OF
South Carolina, one by Mr.. Davenport.
OF Virginia. and one by Mr.. Osborne.
OF new York. Later Colonel Peters
imported others. but they did not
prove satisfactory. lie IS generally
looked upon as the real founder % the
Angora CONT industry in the United
States. Other importations occurred
from time TO time up TO 1876. In 1881
the Sultan absolutely prohibited tke
expectation OF Angoras. and this pro.
hibition is still in effect. A few ami.
mails have been imported from Cape
Colony.

the person of the aforesaid Joel.
The coat in question was once the
property OF the famous English act
or, Ben De Barr, and was brought
to America among his wardrobe
many years ago. 1t was presented
to Mr.. West fifteen years ago and
he retained it on account of its his
tory and characteristic cut 1t was
supposed to have been worn origin
ally by some member Of the English
nobility and it still has the coat of
arms on the buttons, which have
never come off the coat, probably
from the fact that they were riveted
through the cloth in the first place.
The vest of this tale, which,
though it has tale, has no tail, is
over fifty years old and was worn
by Mr.. West father on his wedding
day. 1t was when going through
the old gentleman's effects some
time after his death that Mr.. West
discovered this unique and precious
relic and it was with greatreluctance
that his mother parted with it.
Little did the owners of this coat
and vest ever dream that they would
be used for stage purposes in mod
ern rural play. even such success

Farm" and could they tell their
own tales what romances they might
unfold. Thus it is that a coat with
tail has none the best of the vest
with a tale and both serve as the
subject of this tale.
