Opens Up Goat Farm.

Albemarle.-It seems that Stanly
county citizens are not yet content
with the already diversified industries
Of the county. Not content with splen-
did cotton mills, with the only alumni.
nun manufacturing plant in the South
and one of the largest in the world,
and with reputation for growing the
heaviest wheat in the world, ony citi-
zen now comes along and starts what
he rightly calls goat industry.
This enterprising citizen is ] D.
Johnson, of Msenheimer, in the
northern part Of the county. Mr..
Johnson is already farmer and lum.
Der dealer and for pastime he has de.
cided to start the goat industry.
Making a start with 125 of the goat
tribe, Mr.. Johnson says that he ex-
poets to increase this number as rapid.
ly as he can find people who nave
goats to SELL Already a pasture Of
100 acres has been enclosed with a
wire fence and this pasture is amply
sufficient for more than 200 OF the
goat kind.
But raising goats is only half the
proposition. The 100-acre pasture has
just been cleared of timber and wood,
and Immediately the weeds, grass and
young sprouts spring up, it is Mr..
Goats business to keep this growth
eaten down until the stumps decay,
when the land is ready for farming
and another pasture must be prepared.

Half cron Of potatoas.

Beaufort-Potato digging is IN full
swing here now and several carloads
leave here every day for the northern
markets. Digging began about two
weeks ago but did not reach its maxi
mum until this week. So far some
eight or ten thousand barrels have
been shipped from this point and
there will probably be ten or fifteen
thousand more to follow. The crop
this year will not turn out more than
half as much as last years crop which
was nearly $4,000 barrels. Prices.
however. are much better.

POLICE SWARM
 OF PROTEST OF UNEMPL DYED
But the Thing Was Run Like a Camp Meeting and
 There Was No Trouble.

Days of old when burglars held sway because the pClice were all at tending the circus, were recalled on Saturday last, when every available policeman in the city attended the protest meeting of the unemployed. Police to the right of them, police to the left of them," could well have been written of that meeting. Longi before the hour scheduled for the meeting, when few enterprising workers got an early start, police in uniform, police in plain cloths, patrol men. bicycle cops, traffic cops, and even the Superintendent of Police Redgate, the Department of Justice officials, and minor officials of the de partments were on hand to see that no riotous demonstration took place. The meeting so far as trouble was concerned might have been relig- 1ous camp meeting.
 Assistant Business Agent Philip Deslilets presided, and the two speak CTS were Andrew F. McNamara, na- tional organizer for the Machinists' Union, and Louis Waldman, assem- blyman representing the Socialist party. of Brooklyn, N. Y. MT. Me Namara outlined the capitalistic sys- tenn in the United States, and blamed the unemployment all over the coun- try to this source. MT. Waldman warned the workers of the efforts that

The. laboring man WIS urged to vote for the party which would establish real liberty, and de- mocracy in America.
 Several of the attendants with rabid tendencies attempted to utter their views but were promptly squeiched by the chairman. A collection to de- fray the expenses was taken uo by the members of the Women Workers Union. and over $9O was realized
 Samuel Lavit, business agent o: the local union, was the last speaker and he presented resolutions which he claimed would work for the better ment of the workers of Bridgeport. It was voted to ask President Wilson
 for the appointment of a board, whose duties would be similar to the War Labor Board and which would also have jurisdiction over raw materials, and manufacturers. Equal pay for women was also mentioned in the res o1ullOI, ana the eStajollSilInent hor minimum wage scale. The enfoloy-
 ment of workers through the r. S Employment agencies instead ot through private firms, and the reduc- ton of hours during the reconsruc- ton period to allow all to labor was
 also mentioned. Petitions containing these resolutions will be circulated among the workers of the city fol signatures to express universal ap-

The secret of keeping young is to feel young = to do this you must watch your liver and bowels - there's no need of having sallow complexion = dark rings under your eyes - pimples = bilious look in your face - dull eyes with no sparkle.

 LONDON PEOPLE

London, Dec. 6-(Correspondence of The Associated Pressl-Seven hundred American bluejackets were nightly the guests of the people of London, after the armistice was signed and they could be spared from the duty of chasing submarines for look at the city.
 The hotels were so crowded that the only bedroom the city could of hall in a public building. The favor ite sleeping place was the handsome building known as the Lew Courts, where the Strand joins Fleet street, a central location. Here, as the Chronicle described 1t, Uncle Sam; tucked himself to sleep in the Great Hall"
 It was a strange picture these sailor lads made, lying comforta bly, in the room where British justice had 50 long been administered. But they were not impressed with the dig nifty of their surroundings. One corner they dubbed the divorce court" One of their most dignifled members they
  Laughing and joking they made the great building ring with their fun.
 Its not as good as a hammock, but darn sight more stable than a destroyer" remarked one to his mates as they ate their breakfast. And the rest agreed.
 The arrangement was made by order of the Lord Chancellor. who learning that the Young Mems Christian Association and the Aneri- can Red Cross had been hard put to find quarters for the boys, ten dered the use of the Law Courts. Cards were hastily printed, and dis patched to the stations where the sailors were expected to leave their trains Each card clearly explained how the Law Courts could be reached, and in addition told the story of the big building from the time the cornerstone was laid. AS the sailors entered, each man was told to sign the register, with his home address, and it Is the purpose of the officers to have these registers bound and placed among the archives of the Law Courts.
 The movement for the entertain men of the Americans also included the use of Westminster Hall in the Parliament buildingf if it became necessary.

Behind EHE FootIights
POLES

It looked as If a beauty show had been started In the station when the chorus beauties and stars from "Jr. Mimic World" the big musical comedy show which opens today at Polls Theatre, arrived at the end of the long trip from New York. Twenty fascinating, happy, laughing chorus girls, and five stunning girl principals and stars, with a retinue of male stars, managers, stage carpen- ters, electricians, etc, to say noth- ing of the three chaperones who ac company the troupe, piled out of the train and Into autos for the drive to the theatre, Never in all the history had this city seen such beauty, or so much of 1t in one place.
 The main thing which attracted one to the girls was their extreme youth, and their clothes. None of them seem over sixteen, some of them have cute curls hanging down their backs, and all of them look as if they had just been fitted out by a Fifth Avenue tailor. It was an eye opener to the men who saw them arrive, and even the women turned to stare. These little glrlies are destined to become very popular during the week in this city.
 Here's a word of advice to our young men-three chaperones ac- comTG my the troupe, and no girl can accept an invitation to a supper, luncheon or auto, ride without their consent. So If you want to enter tain one of the little darlings, and show them what our hospitality means, first ''get next" to Mrs Hope, Mrs. Hafford or Mrs. Dorn and fix it," and 1t will be all right.
