A God Suggestion Sure.

The enforcement of the vagrant
law in the small towns and cities
would go further toward solving the
labor problem than anything else Of
which we know. In many sections
the cotton fields are white and the
pickeis are scarce, because they have
gone to the towns where they can
get g high price for doing odd jobs
and loaf the remainder of the time.
In fact when many of them reach
town they become 80 entirely vic
tim of laziness that they will not
work at all, even when begged and
offered high wages.-Edgetield Ad-

cannibaIs Feast on Human Flesh.

Victoria, BIC, October 5.--News
of a cannibal feast by blacks at NAL
licolo was received here recently by
the Miowera. Two natives Of
Moskelyn island were trading when
they were waylaid near the Mallicolo
by cannibals. The men were slaugh-
tered and their bodies carried to a
coast village, where they were
opened as game and prepared for a
feast. The bodies were placed in a
native canoe and as the murderers
were leaving,sthey incurred the sus-
picion of M. Vigourez, a French
trader. The. natives told him they
had killed some pigs and the French
man, believing their story, allowed
them to go.
1t subsequently transpires that
several tribes were assembled and q
feast of human flesh was held.
White settlers learned of this and
under pressure, the natives admitted
they had roasted the bodies and de-
voured the arms and legs of the un-
fortunate men.

Milking Goats Are Imported.

Washington, October 5.-The De-

ported from the island of Malta a
herd of sixty-eight milking goats.
These animals have arrived at New
York and are now in quarantine
awaiting inspection. They will be
taken to the Connecticut experiment
station, where they will be fed,
MIXED and propagated under scien-
tific conditions. The young will be
distributed throughout the expert.
ment stations of the different States.
In statement Secretary Wilson
says:
"The milking goat has been neg
lected in the United States. Goats
are almost entirely free from tuber-
culosis. Their milk is peculiarly
adapted to children, resembling
human milk more than that from
any other animal. 1t is also valuable
for invalids. People who cannot
keep COW may keep a goat"
The herd was selected by G. F.
Thompson, special agent of the
department. The goat averages
about quarts of milk daily.
