How to Hang q Hammock,
From the New York Herald.

The general idea that the head end of a
hammock should be higher than the foot
end is an error. The occupant should rest
in a state of equilibrium-that is. in suoh
a position that there will be no tendency
to shift toward head or foot. To effect this
the hips must rest at the lowest point at
whatever degree of dip the hammock may
be hung.
The pillow arbitrarily determines the DO
sitIon of the occupant. Whatever length
of hammock extends beyond the feet should
be hung proportionately higher than the
head. There will be little or no comfort in
trying to resist this natural law

Whatever physical phenomenon is respon-

fact that the height of the collar must be
lowered. Tucked or softly folded ribbon or
rows of insertion and lace with a turned
over edge, all used according to the charac-

look higher than they are. But do not be

 Bessemer, Feb. 16-The decision of the United States circuit court of appsals, for the Fifth district, against the maintenance of a combine by the six pipe companes will not materially affect the Howard Harrison Iron company of this city. While the decision may have some effect on pro- jected plans of the Howard Harrison company in conjunction with the other companies, there have, been no operations under the combine for long time and 1t was not a serious blow as is suspected by many not conversant with the workings of the same.
 The fact of the matter is it will have no effect at all at present, and as Secre- tary Louis Hoster7 said this afternoon when shown the dispatch in this morning s Age-Herald, ''the court is enJoining from doing what is not being done" Second Vice-President Hoblitzelle and Superinten- dent Thompson would not discuss the dis patch, but agreed with Secretary Hoster that the present working of the company would not be disturbed thereby

Florence Offers to Donate One Thousand Acres
 of Land.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Florence, Ala, Feb. 16.-The Florence Business league held an important meeting yesterday afternoon at the city council rooms Among other business transacted was the appointment of a committee to draw up memorial to congress, offering to donate 1000 acres of land to the government for the location of the government armor plant. A suggestion was also made that this city cooperate with Sheffield in the efforts of that city to secure the location of the factory, but it was decided after discussion to make the effort outlined in the first resolution winch was adopted
 A committee of members of the assocfa- tion was also appointed to raise the sum of s160 for the purpose of inserting an ad- vertisment of the city in the Manufactur- CTS Record. That journal has made an of fer to send the Record to every malufac- ,turer in the New England states free of charge for three months, and 1t is the pur- pose of the Business league to have this city well advertised in its columns.
 The court of county commissioners has been in session all Nthe week, and today made a trip to the new county farm re- gently purchased and fitted up. The county has for some time contemplated a change from the present system of caring for the county poor, and they will be hereafter cared for at the county farm instead of being given a monthly allowance of cash. The farm was received and no more county poor warrants will be issued. The com- missoners and the people generally are satisfied that their plan is the happiest solution of the problem as to how the county charges should be kept.

B|G MILLS CHANCE HANDS Dave Rosenau Purchases the
 CottondaIe Plant. SOON TO BEGIN OPERATION John Pratt, Negro Laborer, Shot and Killed While Returning Home Along the Mobile
 and Ohio Railroad Track.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Tuscaloosa, Feb. 16-The Cottondale mills, formerly operated by Friedman & Lovemen which has been idle for nearly two years, was sold today by A. s. Van degriff, representing Geo. A. Searcy, as- signee, and H, M. Somerville, trustee for the bondholders.
 The purchaser was Dave Rosenau, a Northport merchant, who paid $44,700 for the plant and $400 for equity of redemption bought in by J. s. Handley, bondholder.
 This is one of the biggest sales ever known in Tuscaloosa. The property is worth over $100,O0O, counting the mill plant, a large amount of spinning and weaving machinery, 700 acres of valuable land and about 200 houses The amount realized will not fully pay the bonded indebtedness. The bonds were held by Friedman, Love- man, J. s. Handley, H. M. Somerville, Mrs. Ellen Peter Bryce and Dr. Tom Hes- ter.
 It is understood to be the intention of MT. Rosenau to begin operating the mills shortly, and it is thought that Pollock, Bernheimer & Co.,, of Mobile, were inter- ested in the deal.
