ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER.

The low price of cotton may prove a blessing in disguise, for it is driving the Northern cotton mills to the South. In the course of time the increased wealth of the South from the establishment of cot ton mills will largely overbalance the loss by the decline in the price of cotton. Every cotton mill owner in New England is talking sub rosa about establishing a branch mill in the midst of the cotton belt. They can't raise cotton around their Northern mills and they are forced to rear their mills near the cotton field. The mountain can't go to Mahomet and there- fore Mahomet must go to the mountain. The production of cotton is confined to a very narrow belt stretching almost across this continent. It is a very small portion of the whole of North America. This nar- row belt is bounded by the sothermal line as by Chinese wall. The inhabitants of this narrow belt are endowed by nature with an inestimable blessing They have been the proudest, the richest, the happiest people in the world, and by the grace of God and tho inevitable logic of events they will be again. No wonder the shrewd and thrifty New Englander is hurrying down here to reap share of this blessing. As we said, the low price of cotton is bring ing them. They realize that cotton at 10 cents pound costs for freight 1 cent a pound to deliver it from the fields to the factory in New England. This is 10 per cent on the cost of the raw material. Cot. ton at cents pound costs just the same, which is 20 per cent. The natural result is that factories near the cotton fields are making much more money on cheap cotton than the factories at distance, where the freight is much more. A very great profit can be saved on freight alone.

A POOL TOURNAMENT
Between Two Local Cue Handlers, Which Was Very Exciting and Intere esting-Another Ar
 ranged For.

Yesterday afternoon the billiard room of the Florence was comfortably filled with pool enthusiasts to witness contest be- tween two local celebrities.
 The game was between Charles Broxton, the popular managerof the Florence pool room, and J. c. Bryant. The tourney was agreed upon as follows: Broxton to make 200 balls before Bryant made 165, strictly cali-shot, and according to rules as laid down by the Brunswick Bake company.
 Mir. Thomas Young was chosen referee and Will J. Irvine scorer.
 From start to finish the game was very exciting, and whenever one of the contest ants made difficult shot the cheering was immense. At times there were some ex- citing plays, and the audience was always on the expectancy for something fine, and they were often not disappointed.
 The utmost excitement was, when in the last and final round, Bryant had the shot and seemed to have the best of it though having more points to make than his opponent. All was as quiet as the grave and every one was guessing. He made most difficult shot and the applause lasted for several minutes. This was only tenn poraty, for on the next shot he missed and Broxton, who had six points to score, made them with ease, thus winning the tourney.
 It is understood that another contest has been arranged between the men for tonlor- row afternoon, both men to play for 200 points, first man out to win.

NEW ODD FELLOWS HALL

AT RIVERSIDE DEDICATED AND OFFICERS
 INsTALLED-A PLEASANT AFTER AF-
 FAIR.
 Tuesday night MT. E. Erswell at the head of party of Odd Fellows, went up 10 River side to assist in the dedication of the new Independent Order of Odd Fellows hall that has recently been erected there, and a beautiful edifice it is.
 Some time ago the members concluded that the rent for the building they were occu- pying was entirely too much and decided 10 build one of their own. Messrs. F. H. La throp and J. G. Marbury were the princi- pal factors in the erection of the hall, the former by large subscription and the ex- tension of so much per month on lumber contained in the building, while the latter donated the lot.
 This being accomplished building com mittee was appoint ted consisting of Messrs. Marbury and Purdy, MT. Purdy being put in charge of the work. By his untiring ef- forts and hard work he has now completed the hall. MT. Purdy was also instrumental in the merging of Seldon Lodge No. 9S into that of Riverside, which makes it now a very strong lodge and on good financial basis.
 After the dedication and installation of officers a most enjoyable reception was held, presided over by the wives of the members, who have worked diligently for the past few weeks to make 1t one Of pleaS- ure and one long to be remembered.
 The hall was decorated in most artistic manner, and the menu served was par ex- cellence. The ladies, who are to be highly praised in arranging such treat, are Mesdames Morris, Marbury, Bryan, Chis- holm, Dinsmore and Lathrop and Miss Mary Purdy.
 During the evening sweet music was dis coursed by Mescames Chisholm, Bryan, Morris, Marbury and Wallis, Miss Nellie Lide and Messrs. T. J. Smith, J. A. Bryan and E. R. Chisholm.
 The officers installed are as follows; F. H. Lathrop, noble grand; B. G. Thorn ton, vice. grand; B. R. Chisholm, secre- tary; J. G. Marbury, treasurer; R. A. Witnerill, right supporter to noble grand; ]; J. D. Truss, left supporter to noble grand 1; J. T. Morris, warden; J. F. Thackerson, !, conductor; J. w. Foster, right scene sup porter; T. J. Smith, left scene supporter; c. T. Caldwell, outer guard; w. R. Ell. son, inner guard; J. A. Bryan, right sup porter to vice. grand; J. Nj. Frazier, left supporter to vice. grand.
 The dedication services were presided over by J. K. Barnett, grand master, as- sisted by B. Erswell, acting grand warden, and J. M. Huey, acting grand marshal.
 During the evening very appropriate ad- dresses were made by Messrs. Erswell and BGrrett.
 The lodge now starts out under new and most favorable auspices, with member ship of sixty, and rapidly increasing.

NOT A EARLE.

Once upon time a partridge built her nest in n wheat field.a The summer passed and the grain was ripening into the har-
 vest. One night the young partridges came home and told their mother that they had overheard the farmer say that he was going out and ask his neighbors to come and cut his wheat. The mother replied: "Rest easy, my children, our nest vii! not be dsturbed.'' II was as she predicted. The next day the farmer was heard abus- ing bis neighbors and declaring he was going to get his sons to cut the wheat for him. Again the old partridge comforted her young and told them to sleep without fear. The third day the farmer entered the field in high dudgeon, and after cuss- ing out lis neishbors aud his sons for tLeir internal lazincss, he swore by all the gods of the seas ons and the harvest that he would cut his wheat himselfi When the old partridge heard that she became very much alarmed and in great tropidation cried cut to her young: "We must get

MAKING HAY.

Dr. N. D. Cherry, a prominent planter of Artesia, Miss, was in the city yester- day, and paid the AGE HERALD office a pleasant visit. Dr. Guerry is making trip through this section for the purpose of introducing to the trade Bermuda hay, which he and his neighbors are raising and shipping in large quantities. Though comparatively young man, this gentle man is pioneer in this industry. Four years ago his father died, leaving 10 him a large cotton plantation. Upon this place were about fifty negro hands and fourteen head of mules. Upon assuming manage ment of the place the negroes refused to renew contracts with him or to lease tue land, but at once deserted the plantation. The young planter felt disheartened, and feared immediate destruction to the estate. He finally concluded to sell the stock and abandon the idea of cotton planting. At the end of the season luxuriant growth of Bermuda grass covered the fields, and he conceived the idea of harvesting this grass and saving it for hay. He did this and made s7OO on tho yield. Each year since be has planted corn enough for home consumption; has with improved machinery gathered HIS nay nus bought numDer or DrOOQ mares and engaged in the profitable busi- ness of raising hay and mules for the mar kets. Dr. Guerry says his grass lands net him from S5 to S15 per acre, or an average of s10; his corn s9 per acre and cotton less than S5 per acre. He declares Bermuda hay is superior to Timothy in nutritive and fattening qualities, and that tests made at the agricultural experimental station at Starkvile bear him out in this statement. Numbers of his neighbors have abandoned cotton and are devoting time and attention solely to the hay and stock raising busi- ness, the result of which is rapid depop- ulation of the negroes and rapid decline in the sale of Western hay in Mississippi. This Bermuda hay can be laid down in Birmingham at Sl2.40 per ton, and Dr. Guerry feels sure that once tried here, it will drive Timothy out Of the market.
 Six large and improved hay presses are in operation in the vicinity of Artesa now, and the industry is growing each year. The doctor feels sure that his section is destined to supply the cotton planters of Mississippi with all necessary farm stock, and thus keep vast sums of money in that State which has since the war been going to the West.
 The enterprise of these Mississippi land owners deserves every encouragement by the Southern markets.

When the War Ended.

Washington, May 4-John Barley
Young, Company E, Thirteenth Unit
ed States infantry, served from April
l6, 1866, to April 10, 1869, and claimed
a pension on the ground that the war
did not end until the issuance Of Pres
ident JohnsOn's proclamation August
20, 1866, declaring it at an end. AS
siStant Secretary Reynolds holds that
the actual termination of hostilities
was in July, 1865, and adds: "It is
not believed that congress intended
to pension those whose rendition of
service, military or naval, had no con-
nectiOn whatever with the belllgerent
operations Of the war, who were not
upon the theater of the conflicts and
had nothing to do with the objects
and purposes Of the war"
The following rulings are there
fore made: THE technical legal ter
minatiOn of the war of the rebellion
was August 20, 1866; under section 2
of the act of June q, 1890, service
must have been rendered both during
and insOme necessary connection with
the war of the rebellion as a part of
its belligerent operations; services
rendered after July, 1865, will be pre-
Sumed not to have been in said war:
services rendered after April 2, 1866,
must be shown to have been rendered
in some connection with the war as
existing in the state of Texas. Ser.
vice rendered within the state Of
Tennessee after June lS, 1866, will
likewise be presumed not to have had
some necessary connection with the
war elsewhere.
