Youthful Slave
Escapes From
Louisiana Farm

ST. LOUIS. (NNPA) - Henry
Williams, colored boy who said
he has been enslavcl Tor as long
as he can remember on a 500
acre farm owned by Louisiana
parish official, was assured of a
permanent home Tuesday. July

The l5-year old boy who eXhi-
bited | IL inch square scars on
the left side of the abdomen and
the back of his left hand. which
he said were the marks of brand
ing, escaped from the farm by
diving from a window of a loft
in a barn, swimming and wading
through ponds and swamps and
hitch hiking a ride on produce
truck.
He told his story TO Mrs. Mary
Franklin in Venice. He told her
his master had small piece Of
tin with a wire handle.
He branded the youth with this
and threatened to shoot a hole
in his heart if he ran away.
Williams said he had never
been off the farm. which is in
Tangipahoa Parish. sixty miles
north of New Orleans. The barn
loft in which he slept was lock-
ed during his sleeping hours.
To escape he broke the only
window.
When he reached the highway,
he assisted a produce truck driv-
el change tire on his truck and
was offered ride in return. He
came 10 the East side, because
that is where the trucker was
headed.

always worn cast-off clothes OF
other farm workers, most of
whom we're white people who had
been convicted of law violations
and whose freedom" had been
purchased by the farm owner.
Williams said he had seen
the owner shoot some Of these
convict-workers when they
tried 10 escape. The owner car
ried a rifle and a pistol and had
fifteen bloodhounds on the
place.

Persons who tell Paul E. Holmes
"you get my goat" had better watch
out. He might produce a check
book and ask, How much?"
Mr.. Holmes, o 34-year-o1d in
surance solicitor, says he's Wash
ington's only dairy goat farmer.
His dairy" Is at his home in the
midst of a Northwest residential
section at 570O Oregon avenue NV.
Mr.. Holmes said he hasn't en-
1oyed full cooperation of all his
neighbors since he started his ven-
ture two years ago.
Twice Health Department in
spectors have arrived to see what
they can find wrong" he recalled.
"It was no consolation for the
neighbors. however. The inspectors
found everything was sanitary and
lawful"
Mr.. Holmes also contends his doe
goats are about the cleanest men,
bers of the animal kingdom.
MY buck, Danny Boy, does have
distinctive odor but I board him
In Fulton, Nd" he said.
Evening star., 1948-11-26

To keep his neighbors as happy
as possible, red-headed Mr.. Holmes
buys mostly goats of a gentle and
calm nature" If they're NOISY and
skittish" they have to move to
another neighborhood.
Another point Mr.. Holmes seems
to think should please: His goats
are strictly vegetarians," so citizens
don't have to fear for their hats, tin
cans and clothes.
when I get a phone call saying
my goats have strayed, I know I
can always find them in vegetable
garden instead of at a clothesline," 7"
Mr.. Holmes added. He seemed hap
py about it.
A wild bunch of weeds got the
insurance man entangled in the
goat business two years ago. That
was when he bought two kids"
for $40 to chew through 10 years
of weeds so he could move into his
Oregon avenue home.
Priscilla and Patience turned out
to be high-grade goats and Mr.
Holmes kept them around so Il

could give my friends the milk test
and see II they could distinguish
between goats and cows milk"
Reads Up on Goats.
Friends enjoyed playing the game
SO much that Mr.. Holmes had to
enlarge his goat supply. He read
everything that had the word
goat" in the title and found the
milk was excellent for stomach dis
turbances. This discovery made Mr..
Holmes realize there was place for
goat milk in the lives of Washing
ton residents who are running their
digestive systems thinking Of the
worlds problems" So he bought
more goats, more text books and
Joined the Capital Dairy Goat AS
Sociation.
MIR. Holmes milks his goats before
he goes to work In the morning
and again when he comes home at
night. He gets about 20 quarts a
day.. His wife Elizabeth, who is just
tolerant Of goats" did third of
the goat work until three weeks
ago. That's when the Holmes first
child was born.
Nov, besides a goat sitter I'll
have to find o baby SITTER" Mr..
Holmes said.
Two little farm boys who used to
"sit" with the goats have moved
from Mr.. Holmes neighborhood, he
explained. Now he herds them to
professional goat sitters in the
country via the back Of his station
wagon.
Is Cents for Goat Sitters.
Another thing" Mr.. Holmes de-
clared, goat sitter's pay is q lot
cheaper than baby sitter. It's only
is cents per day."
Besides selling weekly .25 quarts
Evening star., 1948-11-26

of goat milk at from so to 90 cents
per bottle, MIR. Holmes and his wife
manufacture goat cheese at $3.50 a
pound. Customers pick up their
orders at the Holmes home so Mr.
Holmes can't be classed as a dairy
man and be subject to regulations
and licenses.
The farmer" is down to eight
goats now but he still nets about
$50 month on products and $25
to $40 extra on individual sales of
goats. In fact business is so good
he's thinking of giving up the in.
surance business and operating a
goat farm on a full-time basis.
