Henry B. Edwards, Atty. 3t Try Star Wants Ads. Kinston.—"Dear sir: Please get me a Job keeping the state's goats.” That was the burden of a letter received by D. Eugene Wood here today. It was from a man in a mountain county. It was “on* of in numerable letters'1 received by Wood since he proposed some months ago that the state purchase 10,000 goats and distribute them through the swamps and woods of the eastern counties. There have been letters ridiculing and praising his scheme There have been letters offering to sell hint goats. There have been numerous letters asking that he get the writ ers Jobs “looking after the gouts." Wood suggested that the state buy the goats for the following reasons To rid the low places of underbrush. "Breeding places of reptiles and in socts. including mosquitoes, would be eradicated,'1 he declared. To pro vide a new game supply. "A wild goat is as nimble as a deer." he said. "Sportsmen would come hero from all over the United States to hunt the billies: of course we would have to protect the nannies." Goats propagate rapidly. "In five years there would be 50,000 goats In the lowlands. They would be wild as bucks but efficient as lawn mow ers In trimming up the waste places In the countrysides. Eastern Caro lina would look as neat and clean as rural England with the goats do ing their stuff.” according to Wood. "I laid th* proposition before leg islators. I told them the cost would not exceed *10.000. The legislature laughed at the plan, then proceed ed to pass a lot of measures a darn ed sight more foolish.” Persons here and there got. the idea Wood had been appointed chairman of the "state goat com mission.” He has been addressed as “Goat Commissioner Wood” and “Hon. D. Eugene Wood, commis sioner of goats.” A Guilford county man has asked for a place on the "state goat pa trol.” One In Perquimans wrote: “I know goats' habits well and do not object to the odor.” A New Hanover resident stated: ”1 feel that I am well quilified and have a wife and seven children ” One in Greene county said "You are the d—dest fool I ever heard of. If the state buys these fool goats and they cat my tobacco plants I shall stick tacks in your tires.” "I believe you are a public bene i factor,” wrote an individual in Pam lico. ”1 hope you get the goats and all the kids will be billies.” $20,000.00 COUNTV OF CLEVE LAND.
