NEW SEBIES, NO. ?3.-VOLUME! L.-NO. 24. Tho Goat Industry. An artiolc rccontly prepared in thia division on the advantages that could bo derived from keeping goats on tho unused farm lands of thc United Statea tontaina some interest ing and unfamiliar facts. Goat rais ing in tho united States is carried on ehioily in the Southern and YVeat orn States, and, thus far, has boon coo li ned to only two species of tho animal, thc common goat and thc Angora. Tho industry derives its economic importance chiefly from tho salo of tho skins of thc common kind and from tho mohair of thc Angora ; and, secondarily, from thc milk and meut, of both species. Although thcro ia a largo and steadily increasing domand for goat skins in our manufactures, wc raise few goats to meet the demand, but roly principally upon imports for our Bupply. Thc present stock of goats of all kinds in this country amounts to about 500,000, whereas wo usc annually over 10,000,000 skins, worth at market price over $25,000, 000. About one-half of tho goals kept herc arc of Angora stock and arc raised for their fleece of mohair, tho demand for which is increasing both nt homo and abroad. Our principal goal-raising States are Texas, Oregon, California and New Mexico, tho first three raising An goras to a much greater extent than tho last. Tho common goats are reared in these States moally for milk for family usc. Il is notable that cheese from goal's milk is not manufactured hov, but imported at a high cost from franco and S wit /.or land. Thc number of domesticated goals in tho entire world probably exceeds 80,000,000. If is known that tho total of all countries where estimates have been made amounts to over 42,000,000, bul in India where goats have been reared from tho earliest, times, and in several oilier count ries, no data as to their number arc avail able. Thc conditions surrounding animal life in these countries, how ever, indicate that the total goat population ia equal to or greater than that of the countries whore an enumeration has been attempted. At any rate, tho number of goals kept aa remunerativo property in thc world is exceeded only by the number of cattle, sheep and swine, au economic situation of no slight importance. To indicate their im portance lo several countries, it may bc noted that tho number of goats in Greece is greater than tho number of inhabitants, or 2,000,000 ; that tho island of Cyprus, with a popula tion of 200,000, has over 825,000 goats; Spain, over 1,000,000 ; Ger many, over 3,000,000 ; France, over 1,500,000; Italy, nearly 2,000,000; Koumunia, aboul ?1,500,000 popula tion ami 1,500,000 goats ; Algeria, nearly 4,000,000 goats with a popula tion of only 550,000 ; while Cape Colony, Africa, bas over 5,500,01)1 goats, mostly Angoras and grades Most of the Latin American coun tries also have considerable number; of goats, those of Venezuela nearly equaling her population. It appears from thc last consul that there is a vast amount of un used farm land in tho United Stale: of little present value, much of v Mci is peculiarly adapted to such an in dustry aa goat farming. The tola of auch land is 2(55,(5(10,000 acres, o 42 per cont of all farm lands outaidi of Alaska. This presonls an im niensc field for selection of favoroi localities in all parts of tho countr outside of tho valuable woodland? Maine has ?5,000,000 acres of unim proved farm land, tn indi of whicl ia suitable for goat pasturage, am sonic of which is thus utilize* Georgia has over 15,500,(KID acre unimproved ; her former Stale Com missioner of Agriculture record? that much of it is especially lit fe goat, herding, even tho choice. An goran, Hut tho enormous area of th States and Territories forming ill South Atlantic!, the South Centra and a part of tho Western Divisio of thc census grouping.', 20 politic! divisions together, contains 1(52,00(1 000 acres of unimproved land i farms, so favored by climate an much of it by location and veget; lion, as lo ho particularly favorah to Mindi an industry, An abundant of unskilled rural labor almost j evenly distributed aa the farm land ia an additional favorable facto Thia region contains nearly all tl ('entrai and a part of tho Wcstoi mountain ranges, is mostly free fro anow, and furnishes suitable ni abundant forage for goats all tl year. In such a region tho comm? kind kept primarily for their markc ablo skins, would furnish a chet and wholcsomo addition to tho food supply by their flesh and milk ; tho marketable parts, skins, bones, hoofs and horns, would bo nearly or quito clear profit. For tho ?kins alono tho present market demand offors tho premium of tue market, value of what we import, over #25,000,000. Tho way is apparently being opened to goat herding upon these and similarly inviting areas by tho grow ing interest in tho breed of goats i which furnishes tho mohair of com merce, the beautiful and inoffensive Angora. Those goats wero intro duced from Turkey into several States previous to 1861, and for a time excited much attention among the best stock raisers. Recently new interest has been awakened by thc increased demand for mohair at home and abroad, by tho largo in vestments in those animals in South Af rien, and by the fact, early de veloped, that parts of this country are as favorable to those goats as tho province from which they arc de rived and from which they tako their name. It will causo surprise, how ever, to learn that Angoras are now kept in thirty-three States and Ter ritories whoso climates differ ur widely as those of Arizona and Mon tana ; that there are Hocks of thou sands on ranges and of scores on farms, and that wherever kept they thrive, generally in more vigor and with less caro and expense than droop. So far tho leading flocks be ong to Texas, (75,000) ; Oregon, [05,000) , California, (50,000) ; New Mexico, (52,000) ; Nevada, ( 15,000) ; Idaho, Wyoming, Arizona and Mis jouri havo cadi over 5,000, while l?verai States, diverse in climate as florida and Iowa, have from 50 to ?5 in trial (locks.

MACON, GA., Juno 8.-The briof abstrnot of tho remarknblo address dolivercd by Judge Emory Spoor yesterday boforo tho graduating law claps of Moroer University inadver tently did him an injustice. Tho distinguished jurist to-day in a state ment, which will attract wido atton tion, mado clear his position regard ing his attitude toward tho negro race, in connection with tho outra geous crimes committed by somo of their number. After roforring to tho bright auspices of tho graduat ing class of 1899 as compared with his own during the civil war period, ho said : "There ia, however, ono dark cloud on tho bright morning of our hopes. I apeak aa a Georgian, as 1 have tho right, I apeak of that condition of tho public mind because of which thousands of husbands, brothers and fathers go to their daily labors with a rightful dread akin to that which assailed tho pilgrims of New Eng land, who, with his savago focman hard by, stalked to church with lire locks on shoulder and sword at his side, or tho backwoodsman of tho South and West who tilla his now <;round with his rifle ever in reach ; of that danger to tho peace and hap piness of our rural homes as ago nizing and infuriating as any which over afllieted thc human race. "Lot mo say in tile outset that it is a destructive error to uh argo tho negro race with tho atrocities of its DWI) outcasts and ' pariahs. And let inc next declaro what is even more important, that tho negroes, if they wish to continue to remain in peace in these Southern States must, by their own conduct and assistanco as citizens, aid the oflicers of thc law in bringing bo cruel and cowardly Apaches of their race to thc bar of public justice, acquit themselves of ibo charge now widely made of ra cial sympathy with thc criminal, no matter how atrocious bis crime. Thc plainest instinct of self-preservation, aside from tho dictates of right and duty, demand this at their hands. Nor is this demand incompatible with the character and history of the upright men of their race. Wo Southern people know that thcro isa wonderful difference among thc ne groes. There is doubtless as much difference in tribal descent among thom as there is in nationality of an cestry among the white, people. While some of our negro population iro descended from degraded tribes, ind yet preserve in exasperating [icrfeetion their ancestral vices, others spring from those gent?o and manly races who kindly ministered Lo the helpless Livings ton in his long wanderings across tho dark conti nent. Those worthy men have the confidence and good will of tho Southern gentlemen. Indeed tho negro is largely tho peasantry of tho Southern States and bis labors add enormously to tho aggregate of tho wealth. I feel that, after all that has been said, this colored farmer is no mean friend of thc State, with all of its advancing civilization There ire visionaries who talk about thc colonization of tho negro, but unless lie chooses to go himself this is ut terly impracticable. My word for it ic will not choose to go. No race liaB stronger loyal attachments than ibo negro. Besides, way down in ?ur hearts we do not want him togo. "There will over bc, ns there have iver been, crimes committed by in dividuals, many of them so atrocious that tho story will stir a fever in the blood of agc or make tho infant sin Bws strong as steel. It is due, how over, when wo consider our vast ter ritory and large population, to say that they aro comparatively infre quent. Certain il is that those [..rimes when committed must bo dealt with according to tho methods nf civilized people. Tho Constitu tion of tho United States and thc State of Georgia provide that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without duo pro cess of law. This is a fundamental principle of civilization, and, how over terrible thc provicatioil, no peo plc can shatter thc basie, principles [)f tho social system in order to wreak a lawless vengoanco upon a vicious individual without entailing ipon everybody of every class thc inevitable return of all the calamities which civilization has labored for centuries to avoid. "In thoso courts where I have ?resided for many years I havo often witnessed negroes do their whole duty to the government and to non residents against ovary power of ad vocacy and ovcry prejudice of tho past. I havo novcr known them to fail of their duty to tho right hy a disregard of tho juror's oath. ThOBO hings I know and I boro and now | Icolaro,* understanding tho full sig nifioance of what I say, that all these :rngio incidents as they havo been ipread before the country of late iu ill their sickening and foarsoino do :ails, aro uttorly foreign and abuor nal to tho character of thir peoplo is I havo known and loved it froin| ihildhood's days, and I shall know md love it until my oyes are dosed n doath."

Thoroughouttho agricultural king dom many people .nive bocomo quito enthusiastic over tho advantages of olay peas as a fertiliser and a forago product. Should tho month of Juno bring rains sufficient to Bofton tho earth, farmers would do well to plow thoir unbroken lands and pre paro for turning under a green crop. Tho pea vine makes oxcollent winter feed and Prof. Massey, North Caro lina's most advanced agi ?cultural writer, claims that tho value of tho poa vino for hay for food and tho stubble turned under after mowing off the vines ?B greater than tho en tiro crop turned under. There is much moro valu o in this or op than thc avorago farmer scorns to realize, judging from thc small acreage sown or planted. Hundreds of tons of commercial fertilisers aro hoing used in this country that might bo left alone if farmers would only wake up and begin in timo for thc crop of next yoar. A fow aro opening their eyes, and now find that cow peas coat them $1 per bushol. Ono far mer from Yancey county passed through our town last winter with a wagon load of peas offering thom at .10 ccntB per bushel, and doubtless these Ramo peas aro now or have been, offered for $1 per bushel. According to tho teachings of our experienced farmers, both north and south, worn out lands may bo brought to lifo rapidly by growing tho cow pea. By sowing on your lands in tended for peas muriate of potash, much profit will result. This should be dono some 10 or 12 days before planting the peas, however. Some good authorities say apply acid phos phate also, at tho time of planting. Hy this method of using fertilizers permanent good to tho soil may be assured. Looking forward to an increase in next year's wheat crop now is tho ti ino to begin to prepare our lands. So many now and improved mills have sprung np in our section that farmers aro determined to increase tho acreage of wheat. Following a crop of peas fine wheat crop may be expected. Peas supply matter to the soil that ?B essential to whoat. If you are p skeptical try a small ?pot of land (s y two or three acres) a? follows ; First apply a liberal quan tity of muriate of potash about June lat and then about Juno 10th to 16th ?ow two bushels of peas por acre, drilling or ?owing broadcast ono, or oven two bags of acid phosphate. About thc first of October, af tor peas and vine? have been harvested, turn stubble and ?ow in wheat. By this method think you will find that these two or three acre? will bring you more not cash than 10 or 12 acre? managed after tho fashions of old method?. J. P. AUSTIN. Weavcrville, N. C. ..
