RAISING ANGORA GOATS.

Has there ever been any serious at- tempt to domesticate and raise the Angora goat in Alabama? We know that some of them are to be found. but do not know that raising them as a special industry has been tried, yet there would be money in 1t. The Fort Gibson q. ID Post tells of a man near that place who now has flock of $50 living in the hills, and Is so we'll satis- fled with the experiment that he will increase the number to 1,5o0. paying as much as $50 each for fine bucks. The Post adds:
 He has been studying the matter for some time, and thinks there is money in the Angora goat business. The wool sells for 25 cents a pound, and common goat will produce 3 pounds at shearing. while the better grade will is always ready sale. They are quite prolific. and raise two sets of young a year, two at a time. The meat is much sought after, being much better than sheep. They feed mostly on any other kind of vegetation when they can get these. and will clean out everything in sight. They are valua- ble as new land clearers. and in year will eat and kill out all small growth and underbrush. They will live in | this climate the year around with an expenditure of perhaps 50 cents a year each for feed so 1t may be seen that | there Is money in the business That portion of Indian Territory is in the latitude of Tennessee, and If the goats will thrive there, almost without
 expense, we see no reason why they
 would not do well in Alabama. at least
 up in the hill country where the climate
 and conditions are certainly as favora-
 ble as around Fort Gibson As this experimenter says. there is money in the business" We do not profess any
 knowledge of goat farming, and give the above as an evidence of what is | doing elsewhere.

Silent Sufferers.
Modest Women Suffer in Silence Rather
 Than Consult a Physician.

A sense, of modesty frequently prevents women who are really sick and suffering from seeking the aid of a physician. They do not even care to consult their family doctor They know that they are sick that their periods painful; that in all probability they are suffering from ovarian troubles. that they have those dragging pains which always point to prolapsus or falling of the womb They know they need help. yet do not know how to obtain 1t.
 To all such speak in candor and in honesty c. F. P. (Gerstle's Female Pana- cea) will positively cure all such conditions. no matter of how long standing or how stubborn.
 This is gospel truth attested and proved by the grateful testimony of thousands of women who have been rescued from lives of sickness and sorrow by c. F. r.

Take 1t as directed and when the bottle is fini shed, if you can conscientiously say you have not been benefited your money will be returned instantly by the man from whom you bought it.
 This is very different proposition from paying your physician large fees, whether he helps you or not.

cording to this teacher of morals, hao been reduced to a question of the num- Der of votes. Mir. Roosevelt was a can didate for the Presidential nomination, and he was for the faction that could give him the electoral votes of the State
 Following this came the appointment of Byrne. who had rendered Addicks the service of defeating the Regular Republican candidate for Congress by Republican vote. After the unpopu- larity of this appointment had become manifest the President caused 1t to be announced that the appointment oi Byrne was personal and not gratihca- tion of Addicks. But after Senator Ball entered the Senate the President told him the fight on Addicks must stop, the Regulars must coalesce with the Unions and the party must unite All the Presidents passion for political purity had disappeared in his more consuming passion to have the electoral votes of Delaware. Addicks was as good a head of the party as anybody else; the only thing essential to Roose- welt was that the Republicans should be in position to carry the State for him. The Presidents attitude was further disclosed when the Postmaster General removed Miss Todd at the de- mand of Senator Alice.
 The Washington correspondent of 1nea New 1OTh ENenlnB Ho6I sent ms paper a dispatch representing that the alliance of the national Republican party with Addicksisn was accomplish ed during the Mckinley regime. But that correspondent Is an intimate friend of MT. Roosevelt. and Is the author of the official biography of the President. It Is Theodore Roosevelt who is seeking to load upon the dead Mckinley the odium of the alliance with the greatest political corruptionist of the age. But the facts above recited show 1t is Roosevelt himself who Is responsible He. for the sake of a Presidential cleo tion, has betrayed the Regular Republi- cans. deserted them after assuring them of his support, turned over the federal patronage to Addicks and Alice and participated in political corruption in the hope of getting three electoral votes as compensation.
 Theodore Roosevelt and J. Edward Addicks constitute the "Blifl and Black George" of present politics, and no selfrespecting Regular Republican, who has been fighting Addicks and cor ruption, can vote for Roosevelt.

Washington Post.
 Political intelligence from Philadel- phia possesses a peculiar interest be- cause of the exceptional political con ditions which characterize that city. One never expects to hear of a Repub- lican defeat or of any menace to Re- publican ascendency in that great and rich municipality. Nor does any one endowed with common sense strain his ear to detect the sound caused by an uprising of Philadelphia Democrats. The normal and apparently nxed con- dition of their leaders Is that Of ser vility to and limited partnership with the Republican ringsters. What pos sible occasion or excuse the Repuolf- can machine has for corrupting the ballot box Is not easily comprehensi- ble to outsiders. But the fact that they do habitually corrupt 1t, and often to an enromous extent, has long been notorious. It has been admitted by almost If not quite every newspaper in the city, including the most pominent Republican paper, The Press. which has estimated the fraudulent vote at SO,OOOs Preparations for the November election are now in progress. The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, an independent Re- publican paper, states-not very Joy fully or proudly-that the population of that city is growing at an enormous rate, according to the returns of the lists of voters registered by the as- sessors. for it now appears, according to the latest figures, that they have actually reported upward of 3sO,0o0 men entitled to vote.
 The Bulletin goes on to state that the natural rate of growth in the city as based on the federal census four years ago, and the usual annual rate of increase, indicates that the popula- tion of Philadelphia is about or a little more than 1,40o.0 900, and this, the Bull letin figures out, would mean. when compared with the assessors returns. that the city has one registered voter for less than every four men, boys, women and girls. The Bulletin further states that the marvellous rapidity of this development of male adults in the city is especially noted during the past year. Indeed, since only last May, a period of only five months, the asses sors have discovered 16.o00 new citi- gems" And our very irreverent, if not positively sacrilegious contemporary asks: What kind of a majority, any how. does the organization intend to order up for November3"

The Advertiser acknowledges the re- neipt of the first issue of The Alabama Patriot, Tuskegee. Ala, by C. W. Hare we'll and favorably known hereabouts as an old newspaper man. In his in- troductory remarks the editor states that he is impressed with the thought that there is room and need of "a paper for the entire State, given almost wholly to the educational and agricul- tural interests of AlabaNa." No two objects can better engage the efforts of a citizen of Alabama, and paper which will take them up earnestly and keep at it ought to be both useful and popular. The first issue of The Patriot is a clean, well-printed s-page-paper. containing much interesting matter, and we wish it a profitable as well as useful career.

Preserve the Square.

 It is refreshing in this day of mate rialism to hear of such appreciation of the beautiful and the effect of the beau shown by the City Council of Mont gomery in refusing the magnificent CD offer of some capitalist to them the munifcent of one thousand dollars a year rent for Court Square. The erec- tion of an office building, however handsome it might be- upon the square upon the hub of the city, in the exact center of the life of the city, over the ventilating shaft of all the business houses fronting thereon, would have destroyed the beauty of the down town district and a large part of It's comfort in hot weather when a breeze is apprc- ciated. Besides the rent offered was hardly commensurate with the benefit asked. Small stores on side streets in Montgomery bring almost a thousand dollars year rent, and If that Is tte case, surely the most desirable place in the city was worth more than that amount. The storm of protest that arose. when the offer was made known to the public, showed that the people appreciate and loved their historic old square and was echoed by the Council in Its prompt refusal of this proposition or ruthless commercialism.

statement from the Committee.

Editor The Advertiser:
 In behalf of the Modern OfYice Build ing Committee of the Commercial and Industrial Association, I respectfully request the citizens of Montgomery to refrain from condemning the proposi- ton to erect an office building on Court square until an opportunity shall be onered to place the plans before the public.
 There Is a general misconception of the proposition. as Is evident from the action of the City Council when the matter was first presented to 1t, and as is further evident from the numer- ous criticisms that have been made by some of our good people.
 There is a general impression pre- Valllng that 1t is contemplated to ob- struct good portion of Court Square
 desire to say that an examination contemplated to occupy that portion of Court Square which is now enclosed by an iron fence. and entirely taken up by the fountain. Not one inch beyond said iron fence can be encroached up- on; under the law.
 It Is gratifying to the Committee to note that in almost every instance. where this proposition has been fully explained to citizen and the plans ax- hibited such citizen has become an en- thusiastic advocate of the idea and, in justice to the Committee, I respectful ly request that adverse criticism be withheld until the proposition, Tn its entirety. may be fairly and clearly placed before the public.
 Drawings have been made and inc same will be photographed, so that the public will, within the next two or three days. have an ample opportunity 70 carefully examine and criticise

This note signed with the autograph of the Honorable MT. Ware speaks eloquently of his trials and tribulations in the pension business.
 Roses may bloom in the garden of a Kansas editor, but there Is little sun shine in the office of the Commissioner of Pensions.
 A Washington newspaper of recent date contains the following item about some things around the Commission CTS office:
 'The Lord hates a liar"
 These words. in big and very black letters, now decorate the main recep- tion room of the Pension Bureau.
 Some time between quitting hour Saturday and the time the clerks re- ported for duty this morning the legend was painted on the wall under orders from Commissioner Ware.
 What motive the Commissioner had in putting up the inscription no one knows. The Commissioner declined to discuss the matter.
