AT O'BRIEN'S.

Owing to indictment weather a small audience greeted the Hettie Bernard Chase company last night. The bill for the occasion was "The Dear old South" a true southern drama depicting ante bellum days in Louisiana. It was a true picture of southern life in the days when negroes were bought and sold when the oyerseer, more often hated and despised by the blacks than loved, held sway, and when trickery was practiced by some of them to rob their employers.
 In last nights play a female was the leading character Zoe, the adopted daughter of a rich Louisiana planter, was loved by nephew of the planter, and the love was reciprocated The oVerSeer also loved the girl but was de- spiSed in return The oVerseer, to gain his end, resorts to treacehry, forges a paper announcing &the girl to be quadroon, also steals money, through which the plantation and slaves are put upon the block. With his stolen booty the oVerseer buys the girl, but is thwart- ed and frustrated at every turn. An Indian chief is his Nemesis, and traces the murder of a mulatto boy to the overseer's door, and finally in a desper- ate bowie knife duel kills him.
 Pete, trusted negro, too old to work, figures conspicuously in the play.
 There is, however, another oVerseer in eiAS lPluJf tlc QlIecl OppOSlle or the treacherous one. He is strongly inter- woven into the play and assumes the leading male role.
 Miss Chase as Zoe, MT. Chase as Schudder, the good, beloved overseer, and Lewis Sutherland as McClosky, the deeeitful, treacherous overseer. were very good, and handled their parts well.
 George Welch, as Pete, was decidedly clever, as was also J. A. Mellon in the role of the Indian chief.
 The others in the cast were up to the requirements.
 The finale, double tableau was a fit- ting end to the performance, which, as whole, was far beyond the expectations of those present. n
 At matinee today '"The Pearl of Sa- voy'' will be the attraction, and tonight Little Coquette." The usual popular prices will prevail.
 On Monday evening the company will tender Birmingham lodge, No. IS5, Knights of Pythias, a complimentary benefit, and on the occasion will present the beautiful play, "Damon and Pythias."

of each year, and that no camp shall be allowed representation at our re- unions or any United Confederate Vet eran meeting unless this important re- quirement has been complied with.
 Provision has been made by which this additional per capita can be sent in on a supplemental roll and the gen eral commanding urges all camps to at once collect and send in the full amount of their per capita as is shown by their membership rolls.
 Also attention is called to the fact that your camps will only be allowed delegates at-the Houston reunion to cor respond with the amount paid accord ing to the charter, which only allows one delegate for every twenty members, and one additional for any fraction over; therefore representation at the Houston reunion will be based en- tirely on the amount of per capita you pay in, and not upon the membership of your camp. Commanders and ad- jutants of camps are urged to take ac tive interest in this matter
 2. The general commanding is ex- tremely desirous to organize all the veterans in the south into our asso- citation, and requests commanders and adjutants to help and to call this mat ter at once to the attention of all mem bers of their camps to see if they can not influence veterans in adjoining towns to join them to organize camps at once in time to be represented at Houston.
 Send to these headquarters and get all necessary papers to organize camps and help to form all the veterans into one glorious brotherhood.
 By command of J! B. GORDON,
 General Commanding.
 GEO. MOORMAN,
 Adjutant-General and Chief of Staff.
 Upon a vote of the camp the represen- tation of delegates at the Houston re- union was fixed at ten. The following delegates were elected:
 w. H. McClintock, Frank P. OBren, H. F. Bridewell. H. F. Dusenberry, N. ". Steele, Thomas S. Tate, John M. Haran Joseph F. Johnston, R. b. Jones, T. Y. Cain, o. T. Dozier, J. w. Bush, w. H. Reynolds, Dr. Barclay, G. Arlington and J. B. Marshall.
 motion was made and carried to al- low the secretary to cast the vote for tho camp
 R. c. Hewitt moved that the camp recommend three veterans for a commits sion on the state pension claim for Con- federate veterans.
 Upon motion of MT. N. w. Steele the three commanders of the camp were ap- pointed as members of the commission.
 The following resolution was read and adopted:
 Resolved, by Camp Hardee, United Cohleuerdte veterans, That the sincere thanks of this camp are hereby extended to Col Lewis V. Clark commanding Second regiment. Alabama State troops, ms stan, the officers and members of the Birmingham battalion, the officers and members of Howard college cadet corps, the principal, teachers and pupils of the public schools, to the various la dies, and to each and every one who so nooly aided us to make our Decoration Day exercises so thoroughly successful.
 A motion was offered by comrade that the secretary be instructed to re- quest Miss Margaret D. OBrien to allow publication of her original poem read on Memorial Day.
 A few bills of the camp were then passed upon and ordered paid
 The camp then adjourned.
