THE NATIONAL COTTON EXCHANGE
A Talk with tlie Savannah Delegates—
Some Pertinent Questions—A Few
Point* to lie Considered—The Port
of Savannah Must Grow—Faets vs.
Figures.
Learning that a number of the delegates
representing the Cotton Exchange ol this
city at the National Exchange held at
Old Point Comfort, Va., last week, hail
returned, a reporter of the News called
upon two of them to ascertain their views
and impressions regarding the delibera
tions ot that body.
The gentlemen selected as delegates to
the convention made use of the oppor
tunity offered them to look into the con
ditions of the cotton trade, being thorough
ly practical in their views, and well in
formed of existing matters relative to qur
cotton interests. Remarked one of our
practical, delilierate, and farseeing cot
ton merchants, “we could not help but
realizing the fact that _ as
far as connections with Europe and North
ern ports are concerned, Norfolk enjoys
advantages by virtue of her situation and
harbor facilities which are wanting in
Savannah, and that the business men of
Norfolk have put these advantages to the
best use. As compared with Savannah
Norfolk is at a disadvantage, inasmuch as
it is many hundred miles more distant
from the real cotton t*e|t thaw
and vet it seem* u-uoi!ul w hether . a\ an
u jj, received the iK-netit of ner situa
tion in that rcs|eet as she ought to have
done.''
Remarked another of the delegates:
-For some reason or other, it appears that
produce of all kindscan be hauled cheaper
by the railroads having their terminal
jtoints in Virginia than by Georgia roads.
As an example, it may Ik* mentioned that
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad de
livers coal at Newport News, free on
board ship, at $3 50 per ton, and in many
instances even at a lower price, which
thev bring trom Huntingdon, B est Vir
ginia, while it is impossible, according to
the statement of several of the Savannah
railroad authorities, to deliver coal here
trom tlie coal fields of Georgia and North
Alabama at less than $5 50 per ton,
although the distance is alout the same.”
It i- a fact becoming more and mote
apparent every day that the \ irginia
jiorts threaten those of Carolina and
Georgia with more dangerous competition
than is imagined or contemplated by our
business men, and unless our merchants
disidav extraordinary activity and energy
all the chances would seem to lie in favor
of our competitors, whose skill and enter
prise cannot Ik* too highly commended.”
••How doe* the port of Norfolk compare
with the |Mrt of Savannah?" inquired the
News representative.
••Much better in every resieet at pres
ent. The Norfolk port consists of a large
bavofthe ocean, giving from 20 to gs
feet of deep water right at the wharves of
Norfolk and Portsmouth with no bar in
terfering to stop the entrance or the de
parture of ships of that draft at any stage
of the tide—the width of the bay makes
it possible to increase the wharf frontage
by building out piers, and thus creating
r<Kim to moor three ships, whereas,
originallv there was only room for one.”
••What' N necessary to build tipour port
| as one of the first on* the South Atlantic
| eoa*t, and to divert the greater bulk of
| cotton tlii-- way. which is finding an out
let through oilier channels?" inquired the
News representative.
••In the first place, there should Ik 1
cheaper compressing of cotton and
lighter charges iu the shipping of the
same, which places the port at a great dis
advantage.”
••Another source of disadvantage is the
great discrimination lietwoon interior
towns compressing and the coinpressing
in Savannah.
••Another reason is the refusal of foreign
shipping in Savannah to take interior
compressed cotton. This refusal has been
ow ing to the fact that the Savannah com
presses are more iiowerlul than those in
use at Atlanta and other interior points,
thus enabling ships, on an average, to
carry 8 |>er cent, more cotton.
••Tlie follow in g figures show thedeeroase
ill tin* shipment of cotton from this port:
The cron of |sso_s| w ;1 s ti.Uno.noo hales,
savannah's receipts amounted then to
ssu.:;s:; bales.
-For the crop of 1 ssg-S;;,w hich is estima
ted b> Ik‘ 7,tHK),<Bi bales, the port of Savan
nah will get a much smaller percentage
than she did for the crop of 18S0 and ’Bl.
Why is this? Perhaps it our shipping
merchants and stevedores had not dis
criminated against interior compressed
cotton the receipts would have reached a
million bales tn*r year.”
No doubt the information obtained by
our delegates will be put to good use as
-hh. a* our busy season tegms.

Base Bali Tournament.
The interest in the coining base ball
tournament is increasing, and the games
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday will
doubtless be witnessed by large crowds
of spectators. The announcement of the
order in which they will be played will be
made to-day. It is probable that the first
game will be with the Dixies, followed by
the Oglethorpe* and Forest Citva. The
Brennans played in Columbus yesterday,
where they will remain to-day, and leave
for Savannah to-morrow. The reputation
of the clui* and the champion
ship they hold in the Louisiana
League "make them a powerful
nine to oppose The Dixies, however,
have made important changes among
their players, and a close and exciting
contest is anticipated. The new grand
stand will la* completed, and with other
improvements that the Park has under
gone. every convenience is afforded for
the comfort of the spectator* The tourna
ment will necessitate the postponement
of the games on the regular schedule,
which will la* played hereafter.

Misinterpreting tlie Law.
The Morning News has l>eeii informed
by several merchants that within the past j
week complaint has been made by a nuin j
tier of farmers respecting an alleged law j
which levies a tax on all the cotton, rice j
and other products which they bring into i
the city. There is no such law. The law |
referred to, and which it seems has been j
misunderstood, is the city ordinance i
which imposes a tax on parties who barter
and sell In and around our city market.
It was reported that a club had been or
ganized in Bulloch county soon after the
false impression concerning this ordinance
had lieen circulated for the purpose of in
fluencing trade from Savannah to other 1
points. As above stated, the whole mat
ter grew out of a misunderstanding ot j
one of our city ordinances. There is j
no tax upon ta'rui products brought to
this city, nor is there likely to lie.
An Equestrian’* Experience.
Last Saturday afternoon two of our
well known Bay street clerks took a
horseback ride. Arriving on the Waters
road, a race was proposed and entered
into. The horse which one of the young
Hi*;j wqs riding became unmanageable,
and despite the tact that the rider held on
to the saddle, front and rear, like grim
death, he was unhorsed and fell —not
directly on terra rtrtna, but into a basket
of fisli that was perched upon the head of
a colored lad, on his way to market. The
vouth, after gathering up hfs scattered
fragments, looked at the unfortunate
voting man and exclaimed: "Great jitni
iiy! What sort o’rider you is, anyhow?
You better git a wooden hoss fur practice
on.”
Th* Revenue District Consolidation.
The consolidation of the Savannah and
Atlanta Internal Revenue districts will
take place to-day. Judge A. A. Knight,
Special Agent,accompanied by Col. W. H.
.Johnson, Collector of the consolidated
districts, and Chief Deputy Wilson, of
the Atlanta office, is in the city arranging
for the removal of the records.* The office
in Savannah will tie managed by two of
ficials, ex-CoUector Pleasant,* without
doubt, being retained as Deputy. The
force in the Atlanta office will be increas
ed to five men. The transfer of the rec
ords will take place this morning, when
the appointment of deputies will be an
nounced.
Kfthhvil of Seventy Dollar*.
Mr. J. Fletniug, of Augusta, Ga., brother
to Mr. Thomas Fleming, of this city, while
on a visit Sunday to Tybee Island, had liis
poeketbook. containing S7O, taken from
his clothes in the bathing house while he
was out in the ocean enjoying a salt bath,
It appears that the thief watched his op
portunity, and as soon as Mr. Fleming
l.egan to enjov the invigorating breakers,
pot in his little work. It is not known
whether he gained admittance to the bath
house with a false key or whether he
climbed through the transom. No due to
the theft, was obtained, although suspi
cions were rile.
Up A menu; • !>* Lake*.
They were scudding over a mountain
lake in a canoe. Both were paddling, and
neither had spiKcn for several minutes.
“Joe, what impresses you most, away up
here?” "A sense of remoteness,” replied
Joe. “What do you mean?” • “I mean I
never before so appreciated the conveni
ences of civilization. We can live, to be
sure; but suppose something should hap
pen us—wounds, sickness, or the like,
what would we do?” “Do? Why, Joe,
I’d go straight to the cabin locker, take
out ray bottle of Ferry Davis’ Fain Killer,
and administer a cure in short order.
When you get to l>e as old a traveler as I
am you won’t think of putting yourselt
so far beyond the pale of civilization with
out a supply ot that old remedy tor
wounds or sudden sickness.”
The Strike at An End—A Compromise
Effected.
At a meeting of the Directors of the
Westward Union Telegraph Company,held
in New York yesterday, it was decided to

vance of 15 per cent, on all wages, with
no decrease of lime, but instead, to keen

its forms, and is for sale by all druggists

There is considerable talk about a pros
pective reorganization of the directory of
the Richmond and Danville Railroad.
TheDireetors met at the company’s office in
New York, Saturday, and it was reported
that three or more resignations would tie

had been done. Another meeting of the
Directors will be held this week.

The leading business men of Providence,
R. 1., compose the Hunt’s Remedy Cos.,
and they guarantee all testimonials pub
lished by them to be genuine. The follow
ing, dated May 4, 1883, from Mr. W. H.
Blanchard, Lowell, Mass., is but one of
the thousand remarkable cures that are
being made by this wonderful medicine.
Mr. Blanchard says: “1 have been greatly
troubled for oversix years with acute kid
ney disease, with severe pain
in mv back and hips. I
was forinerlv employed on the Bos
ton and Lowell Railroad, but vyas obliged,
owing to the constant jar, to give up the
railroad business, as many others have
been obliged to do, on account of kidney
disease. I have tried many medicines,
but received no permanent relief. A
friend recommended me to use Hunt’s
Remedy. purchased a bottle of one of
our druggists iu Lowell, and commenced
to improve at once, and alter using two
bottles I was entirely free from all pain,
and consider myself cured, and I cheer
fully recommend this wonderful medicine,
Hunt’s Remedy, to all the sufferers from
kidney and liver disease.”
At Liberty.
For a number of years L was afflicted
with kidney and gravel disease, and suf
fered with pains in my limbs and back at
times so severely that it seemed that 1
could not endure it. I used several so
called cures recommended for these dis
eases, but they did me no good. A friend
of mine that had used Hunt’s Remedy,
and pronounced it the best in use, urged
me to try it, and 1 purchased a bottle at
George E. Hall’s drug store in Manchester,
and before I had used one bottle I began
to feel much better, the pains in
the bladder and kidneys were reduceed
a good deal, and after using
live bottles I found that Hunt’s Remedy
had done all that it was recommended to
do. It had removed all the pain, my
appetite improved, and 1 gained several
pounds in a few weeks. 1 have renewed
vigor and strength for one of iny years
(54), and 1 can only thank the proprietors
of Hunt’s Remedy for iny good health of
to-day, and you are at liberty to publish
this, that il may he the means of someone
lieing cured by the use of your truly won
derful remedy. W. 11. Terrill.
