Hay Production in the South.

The MORNING News has from time to
time called the attention of Southern
planters to the fact that they were max
ing a mistake in not studying the grasses
that can be proftably cultivated in their
respective localities. Grasses which
make excellent hay can be grown in the
South. The MORNING NEWS has de-
scribed some of them, and shown the
results which have been obtained from
cultivating them,
The value of the hay consumed in the
South. the greater part of which is
brought from the North, is enormous. 1t
is millions of dollars annually. The South
could make her own hay without reducing
perceptibly her other crops, and put into
the pockets of her own farmers the mill
lions of dollars which every year so into
the pockets OF the farmers of the North.
For Mississippi and Louisiana the farm
ers, within the last year or two, have
been experimenting with different kinds
Of grasses, and their expectations have
been more than realized. They are be-
ginning to call upon the Produce EX-
change of New Orleans TO assist them in
marketing this new Southern product.
The main thing they have now to contend
against, they say, is the discrimination
against them by the transportation lines.
Hay Is carried from st. Louis and
Chicago to New Orleans for less than
from some of the counties of Mississippi
to the latter city.
Doubtless when the production OF hay
reaches such proportions as TO command
very general attention the railroads will
be compelled to treat the hay producers
OF the South as fairly as they do those OF
the West. The thing that is of the most
Importance now is TO get the Southern
farmers TO understand that hay is prof
liable crop, and that it is to their interest
TO produce 1t. If not for market at least
for their own stock.
In this State there are hundreds OF thous-
auds of acres planted in cotton, which
hardly pay the expenses Of cultivation.
This land, If slightly fertilized and sown
in grasses, would yield profitable crops.
The cost OF producing hay is very small
in comparison TO the cost Of producing
cotton, and though the money value of
the hay from All acre may not be as great
IA the money value OF the cotton from tue
same amount Of land, the profit Is mucn
more. II Will be a happy day for the
South whou the farmers produce all the
nay their cattle consume.

Salvation Army Discipline.

1t was announced from London the
other day that the recent article of war
OF the Salvation Army prohibiting court
ing in the ranks was meeting with Wig
Orous protest from the officers and men,
and the female soldiers as well. The ar
ticle is considered not only unorthodox
and wrong in principle, but unfair and
unjust, as it allows one who has attained
the rank of Captain to WOO
and win wife, provided he
has had two years honorable service
and gets permission from headquarters
to become a Benedict, and then consent
to the marriage must be given at least
twelve months before its contamination.
The object seems to be to secure greater
reli gious earnestness and enthusiasm,
and TO get rid of those who enter the SER
vice from romantic or other unworthy
motives. The good name of the army has
suffered of late from the flIrtations and
escapades of some of it's members, and
the effort to get rid OF the evils that were
unavoidable IS no less sincere and radi-
ca than it is revolutionary.
The objections to the article are ap-
parently well founded. 1t is claimed that
1t imposes restrictions on emotions and &C
lions ofindividuals that are not only prop
er but commendable, and that are author
lied and recognized alike by the laws of
God and man, that it reduces the rank
and file to the position OF slaves, and that
1t tends to encourage clandestine love-
making and desertion. 1t is not possible to
say what the final outcome of the matter
will he, but the public will watch the
issue with considerable interest.
There is no question but that the profane
world, that is people generally outside
the Salvation ranks, sympathize with
those who oppose the new regulation, and
even disinterested persons feel constrain-
ed to doubt the existence OF
scriptural warrant, or other sufli-
cient reasons for it. When young
people lind themselves thrown to-
gether In common cause, storming the
strongholds OF satan shoulder to shoulder,
they are very apt TO conceive very tender
sentiments. II they happen 10
| be OF opposite sexes and to be otherwise
coneenial, it is not strange that they
should tell each other the same sold
story" and then II they have the altern-
alive given them of oelibacy or exclusion
! from the army, great many designations
may be looked for. Love vii, laugh at
discipline as it has always laughed at
! locksmiths and other unnatural and cruel
obstacles.

Savannah and the Inauguration.

Savannah and the inauguration.
Savannah ought to be represented at
the Inauguration Of Gen. Gordon by one
o. more Of her splendid military organiza-
tons. The desire appears TO be to make
the military display the great feature OF
the Inauguration ceremonies, end how
can This desire be realized without the
assistance of Savannah's soldiery:
About half of the volunteer soldiery of
the state is in this city. Here the militia
~ spirit is stronger than elsewhere, and,
hence, here are to be found military COM
panies which are unrivalled in the per-
lection of their drill and in their appear
Ruce.
1t is understood that there will be no
Inauguration ball, because of the recent
affection which Gen. Gordon has suffered.
For that reason more attention will be
given to the military feature OF the occa-
SION, and that feature should be made
prominent. Gen. Gordon was a soldier,
and great enc. He rose from the posi-
tion OF Captain 10 thai OF Lieutenant Gen
eraI in the Confederate army, and his rise
was due to his merits and not to fsvorite-
Ism. In the last hour OF the great strug-
gle of the civil war he was perhaps the
commander in whom the immortal Robert
E. Lee placed the most trust.
On tue field OF battle Gen. Gordon won
lasting fame, and in the halls of legisla
ton be made an enviable reputation. The
people of Georgia, almost unanimously,
have selected him to fill the highest office
in the State.
There are Georgians who were great
soldiers in the great civil strife, and they
did their duty nobly and we'll. or them
all Gen. Gordon perhaps is the greatest.
There is a special reason, therefore, why
the military should do what it can to lend
dignity " sandg9 ybriiliancy to one
of the I greatest . occasions in
his rather remarkable career. The
occasiohy will have particular signifi-
canoe in that it will illustrate tie fact
the people finally prevail. Once before
Gen. Gordon was chosen Governor, but
was defrauded out OF his rights by the
carpetbag politicians. The carpetbag
gers have disappeared, and their political
organizations are broken and scattered.
The man whom they cheated out OF the
Governors office has finally triumphed,
and Savannah could not do a wiser thing
than to send one or two OF her military
companies to his inauguration, to show
that she sympathizes with his triumph.
1t is true that this is a busy season,
and the time Of almost every man who
has employment is fully occupied, nut
surely enough men could be spared from
| business for few days to enable Savan-
nab to show that she is In harmony with
whatever interests Georgia, and that she
is not indifferent to events which occa-
sion rejoicing among the people in all
other parts of the State.
Let a hearty response be made to the
invitation of the Governors Horse Guard.
Let Commanders Gordon, Garrard, Reilly
and Wheaton see what they can do to-
wards making Savannahians proud OF
Savannah's part in the military display
| at the inauguration.

Souvenirs of senator kenna's Deer
Hunt.
From, the Washington Critic.

UNoftehDtbN
Senator KenDa, of West Virginia had a re-
cent experience rs a hunter that he will not
soon forget. Although the Senator is by no
means u bad shot. it is not his success, but, on
the con rary, his disastrous failure to kill his
first deer that impre SEES the occasion so dis
tincuy on his mind. A deer party was gotten
up in his neigh borhood and he was invited,
but had he known the penalty among the
hunters of missing ones first deer before he
accepted, he would have first gone into COM
mlttee of the whole on the q question. or taken
some equally deliberate step. 1t was too late
to oacK out after he consented to JOIN the
party and was told that If he missed his first
shot the penalty would rave 10 be paid
with the tail of hIs shirt. The back
wUodsmen were good enough TO give
him the best position when the deer was put
up The graceful animal came within range
of his rifle, and he thought he had the deer
sure, but fate was against lin, and he missed,
very much to his cbdgrin. No one was near
him and he thought nobody saw him fire, but
In this he was also mistaken. He said moth
Ing about 1t, however, when they all assem-
bled IN a cabin for lunch and smoke, and he
probably thought that his Senatorial dignity
would save him from the humil ating penalty
even If he was discovered. He was never
more mistaken In his life. When the pipes
were lighted one of the party. who saw the
bad shot. made the announcement. and in less
time than 1t takes to write IL the Senatorial
d'gnitary was thrown on she floor and his
shirt tail cut even higher than is the custom,
because the boys Ali wanted souvenirs.
