Knight S. y Adams, who was to deliver
the address of welcome, was introduced.
Mr. Adams began by saying that he did not
intend making any set or formal speech of
welcome, but would let the Knights’ works
show their welcome. He alluded to
the work of each individual Knight
for the order, wherein no selilsh ends were
to be attained. He spoke of the high stand
ard it has attained, and referred to the vast
good that has been accomplished by the
organization. Its principles, ho said, are
the very foundation of all human civilize
tion, and their recognition of a Higher
Power places them on tho highest plane.
He alluded to the work that the order has
lefore it. The importance of understand
ng fully the t principles of the order was
pade prominent, for in the correct iuternre
ation of these consists the life of the lodge,
fis address was practical and touched
K>ints that interested all.
Sir Knight M. M. Hill, of Augusta, G. M.
>f E.. responded in a lively vein, saving that
he visiting Knights’ works would show how
hey appreciated the substantial welcome
liven them. He gracefully complimented
he Savannah Knights uuon the warm re
uption and welcome which they extended

FLAGS FROM FAIR HANDS.
One very pleasant feature of the morning
was the presentation of a beautiful silk
flag to Teutonia Division by Christina, the
young daughter of Sir Knight Louis Stein
back, Lieutenant Commander of the corps.
The young miss presented the banner in a
few well chosen words, speaking of the groat
trust committed to the Knights’ charge,
and urging them to be faithful to all their
Pythian duties, adding, "and as you jour
ney through life, consciousness of duty well
pel-formed will cheer your hearts and light
en your labors.”
Bir Knight Commander Adoph Brnudt, of
Capitol City division, gracefully responded,
accepting the emblem from the lianas of the
fair donor, and assuring her that it would
lie kept unstained and free from dishonor.
The two divisions applauded loudly and gave
three cheers for their young ludy friend.
The presentation was peculiarly appropri
ate, coming from the hands of a young miss,
as'- the umforin rank is consecrated to the
Croteetiou of innocence, virtue and the
ome circle.
At the drill Oglethorpe division, of Bruns
wick, was presented with a beautiful banner
bv G. C. C. A. M. Haywood. Sir Knight
M. M. Hill, of Augusta, made the presenta
tion B|>eeoh in a very pleasing manner, and
was responded to in behalf of tliv division
by Sir Knight D. B. Woodruff, of Macon,
Past Supreme Chancellor of the W orld.
At Armory Hall u collation was
spread and the'hall was crowded ail day by
tne Knights and their friends.
THE mtll.L AND REVIEW.
At 3:15 the uniform divisions formed on
South Broad street and inarched to the Park
extension, where the prize drill and review
were to take place. Arriving at, the drill
ground it was decided tliat each division
drill iu the order of its seniority. Two
thousand peoplo went out to witness the
manoeuvres and waited patiently for the
call. The police arrangements were excel
lent. A large space was cleared for the full
end free movements of the Knights. The
judges, Capt H. M. Branch and Lieuta.
Brooks and Mell. proceeded to the centre of
the drill ground and tho bugle call for the
first drill was sounded.
The drill programme was divided into
riostr parts or divisions, including the School
sh the Knight, Sword Exercise, with aud
n atliout the numbers, .School of tho Division
’a *d Display Movements. In nil there were
sable sixty-nine separate commands.
ON THE DRILL FIELD.
At tlm sound of the bugle, the members
or Calanthe division, of Atlanta, marched
out ana began the programme. The
division is young and the members were
somewhat nervous at first nnil many erroin
were exunmitted, especially in the llist and
second parts of tho programme. The
marching and wheeling by fours,
platoon wheeling and fronting into line
wtre all executed very well anil with good
alignment, but the division wbooling uml
oblique mulching and keeping step were not
up to the average. In the diepluy move
ments the division did well, though the
Knights ware somewhat confused on one or
two of the forms.
After thirty minutes’ drill they retired,
and the Capitol Citys. also of Atlanta,
marched into the field. They did consider
ably better with the swoi il exercise, but not
to any great extent. In their marching
and countermarching they executed the
movements very freely, and tho marching bv
fours and twos was w ell done. Failure to
keep step and imperfect alignment seemed
to be their worst errors. After twenty-five
minutes’ drill they retired.
DuGuesclin Division, of Savannah, then
gave au exhibition drill, not contesting for
the prize, and won the admiration of the
spectators and visiting Knisrhts bv then
free and easy movements. Capt. Hannon
is an excellent commander, aud he com
municated his enthusiasm to his men and
they dialled with minds intent on their
work. Tho swonl exercise bothered the
division some, but the greater portion o#
the drill was exceedingly creditable.
THE INSPECTION.
After the drill the regimental line was
formed and was inspected by the judges, and
Capt. Harmon acting as Colonel, and staff.
After the inspection the regiment passed in
review. Many errors were made bv the
Knights saluting as t hey passed. After being
reviewed the regimental lino was reformed
and Capitol City division was marched in
front of the judges. Capt. Branch in a few
brief but very kindly words awarded the
prize. The division then marched to its
place, the review was over and the divisions
marched homeward. At the comer of Bull
aud Gaston streets Sir Lieutenant Colonel
Harmon captured the entire corps, marched
them into his hospitable residence and dis
pensed the famous artillery punch. After
escorting the grand officers to their quartere
the Knights returned to their quarters.
THE PRIZE.
The prize is a pair of beautiful oxvdized
bronze plaeques representing “Peace’’
and "War.” The figures are in bold relief
and stand out prominently. In “War” a
wild charge of mounted troops, with car
nage and desolation all about them, is rep
resented. The burning home, the slain un
der tho horses’ feet and the expressions on the
faces of the wild riders tell the story
plainly. “Peace” represents a quiet rural
scene, a farmer plowing in the foreground
and quiet, happy homes in tho distance.
The souvenirs will add much to the decora
tion of Capitol City’s lodge room. The con
testing divisions from Atlanta and Du
Guesclilin division entered sixteen men in
the drill each for the prize and exhibition
drills, as follows:
Calanthe—Sir Knight Captain J. M. Hun

SCAFFOLDING GIVES WAY.
E. C. Pacetti Seriously Injured by a Fall
from a Bolton Street Residence.
Edward C. Pacetti, tinner at State and
Jeffei-son streets, and two other workmen
employed on J. A. G. Carson’s new resi
cfiuiee on Bolton street, near Drayton, fell
with a scaffolding from the roof to the
ground, a distance of between 30 and 40
feet, yesterday morning. It was first
thought that Paoetti was fatally injured.
The supports underneath the scaffolding
gave way under the weight of the men and
they fell together to tho projecting roof of
a |>orch about 15 feet below apu from there
to the ground. The fall was partly broken
by striking the roof. Paoetti was uncon
scious when reached and it was at flint
thought that his baok had lieen broken. He
was carried to his home on Duff}- street and
medical aid was summoned. Although
there were no bones broken both an kies were
sprined and he was severely bruised almut
tne buck. The others were injured, but
only slightly, their fall having been checked
by the roof on which they struck.
A scaffolding in front of Hon. W. S.
Chisholm’s residence at Gaston and Whita
ker streets also gave way aud fell with two
painters. The distance was short and
neither of the men were injured, except by
a few slight bruises.

WILL THE LEAGUE STAND?
THE GULF CITY TO HOLD OUT
AWHILE LONGER.
The Team to Play Here To-Morrow and
the Rest of the Week—New Orleans
Backing the Mobile Management
President Morrow’s Call for a League
Meeting at Birmingham.
The withdrawal of Mobile from the
Southern League, although it was not at all
unexpected, created r. stir in baseball circles
yesterday. The general belief was that
Mobile’s falling out will eventually wind up
the leugue.
The home team returned from Charleston
yesterday mornmg v expecting to play tho
Gulf City team here to-day. An informal
meeting of the Savannah directors
was held, and President Haas wired
tho league President at Nashville
and also the Mobile management
to know what is to bo done. Last night a
telegram was received from Maurice Kanff
mnnn, of New Orleans, saving: “Mobile
will lie in Savannah to play last three
games.” New Orleans, it seems from this,
has taken hold of the team, and will carry
it until after the Birmingham meeting.
The Savannah management will hold
out as long as there is any pros
pect of the league pulling through the
season, but it is not anxious to play
a dozen or more gamra and then lie
kicked out. The Nashville people want
Savannah to drop out aud some other city
tocomain. This Savannah is not willing
to do if the league wiil hold together. AVhnt
the New Orleans people- will do with the
Mobile men is not definitely known. It is
pretty well settled that unless Mobile, Mont
gomery. Birmingham or some city in
the southern tier is kept in, New Orleans
will be unable to pull through, and
for that reason it is not at ail unlikely that
Mobile will be reinstated uilder a New Or
leans management. The club left Memphis
last night and will arrive here to-morrow
morning giving Savannah three out of the
four garoas that were regularly scheduled
here for this week. The Savannah directors
are uot inclined at present to say what they
will do. ’

PRESIDENT MORROW’S PLAN.
A Meeting of the League Called at
Birmingham.
Nashville, Tenn., May 17.—President
Morrow, of the Southern League, when
asked about the withdrawal of the Mobile
club to-day, said that he had been officially
notified of such action. When asked what
effect the withdrawal would have on the
league, he said he could not possibly say
until a meeting is held. He is satisfied that
the Nashville, Memphis. New Orleans and
Charleston clubs are willing to remain in
the league. As Mobile has withdrawn a
meeting mil be called at once, and some ac
tion will be taken in the } remises.
This morning he received telegrams from
Savannah and Charleston. The former
wishes the Southern League to disliand. ami
the latter is in favor of taking in Atlanta or
Birmingham and continuing the season
through. Things are looking very dark
for the league at present. A meeting lias
been called for Thursday at Birmingham,
when the question will he definitely settled.
There is a great variety of opinion as to
what will be done. Many favor taking in
Birmingham or Atlanta, or both, ami con
tinuing, or if Savannah determines to with
draw, admitting them loth. Others favor,
and this will probably be done, letting
Savannah go and rearranging the schedule
for the four remaining teams, Nashville,
Memphis, New Orleans aud Charleston.
MOBILE TO STAY IN.
Toby Hart, of Now Orleans, Assumes
Charge of the Team.
Mobile, May 17.—As soon as Manager
Kelly received the order to release tlie
Mohile nine he started home, leaving tie
team in Memphis. This morning Toby
Hart, of New Orleans, telegraphed here that
he will assume individually the charge of
the club an.! asked Manager Kelly to wire
him as to tin- probable cost of transportation
to Savannah aud he would send the money.
The matter now stands in this shape.
Manager Kelly is expected here in tho morn
ing.

Be Careful Not to Kill the Goose that

Editor of the Morning News: Sir—
Noticing that considerable discussion is
going on in reference to the increase in
the charges for compressing cotton at this
port, to commence on Sept, 1 next, I ven
ture the following remarks, hoping that-it
will not yet be found too late to rejiair what
I, among many, believe will eventually
prove injurious not only to the owners of
the presses but to the city of Savannah and
the railroads having this as their teiminal
point.
It is claimed by those who advocate a
higher charge for compressing cotton at this
port that the price the ship pays for this
service being fixed by the local press com
panies enables the interior shipper, who has
bis cotton compressed in the interior, to get
a greater rebate from the vessel here, and
therefore attracts such shipments to our
port; or, if the cotton came here uncom
pressed, by a higher scale of charges, our
local presses make more out of it. This, in
a few words, is what is claimed and urged
in defense of the recently proposed advance.
If this l>e all true, and all that is true in
relation to the matter, there would scarcely
be two opinions about it; but the whole thing
can be made so clear to any intelligent
and unprejudiced mind that it seems strange
that the reasons named, at least the first,
should be urged in its favor. To take a
broad view of the matter, Savannah as well
as all the other Southern outports are merely
transfer stations on the lines of transporta
tion from the producer to the consumer,
and, other things being equal, it requires no
argument to prove that the cheaper the
route the more cotton will be attracted to it.
If the reverse be true, as claimed, why have
not our railroads doubled their rates of
freight? Why have not our factors, dray
men and warehousemen as well as the com
press companies doubled their former
charges?
If the proposition seem absurd, it is only
a logical deduction from what is proposed
by those favoring a higher charge for com
pressing. New Orleans is now suffering
from this very thing, and those most inter
ested in the prosperity of that city have
realized it, and have' already taken steps
towards recovering their lost trade.
But it is claimed that the vessels that take
the cotton away from here pay the compress
charges, and it is only that much money left
at the port.
This is as shallow as the first proposition,
for It seems unreasonable to assume, indeed
it is certain that ocean freight rates will be
advanced in proportion to the advanced
rate vessels have to pay for the compressing.
This was demonstrated this season in the
comparatively lower ocean freight rates,
when compressing was reduced, and is
again proven, if proof Vie necessary, by the
notice from the Ocean Steamship Company
that its “arbitrary” on through business
for the coming season will be advanced.
The effect of an advance in the charge for
compressing will be, first, to attract cotton,
to the interior towns where there are com
presses, because, the railroads paying for
this work where it is done, and the shipper
getting a rebate from the vessel here equal
to the local charge for compressing, it is
clear that the higher the charge hi re, the
greater the rebate, and hence the greater
inducement to eomoress the cotton in the
interior; and, as at present most of the in
terior presses are at competing points, the
greater mil be the competition with other
ports; secondly, the largo rebate afforded
will act as a stimulus for the ere 'tion of
presses at other interior points, until finally
most of the cotton coming here will come
compressed and merely pass through, and
all be caused by the eager desire to get too
many golden eggs at a time.
I say this because the presses during this
passing season, at what is claimed the too
low rates, yielded fair returns.
If it he claimed that theory, however well
supported by sound reasoning, does not al
ways hold good in practice, we need only to
refer to the business of Savannah ‘and
Charleston during the past season, when Sa
vannah had a low charge for compressing
and Charleston a high one. Savannah’s re
ceipts of cotton to May Id are, according to
the last number of the Financial and Com
mercial Chronicle, 13,464 bales more than
for the corresponding time the previous
year, while for the same time the receipts at
Charleston are 116,239 bales less.

A SNAKE STORY.
Experience of a Savannah Family in
Barnwell, S. C.
Years ago a young lawyer of Savannah
took his wife and their eldest son to the
“springs” in Barnwell district, S. C. In
those times even Saratoga had but two
hotels, in the shape of large wooden build
ings very unlike the “palatial residences”ncw
erected even at the South; so you may sup
pose the one in Bam well was nothing to ad
mire. A dwelling house with wings and a
few- small buildings around constituted the
“hotel.”
When the Savannahian got there, no
room could be found for him, unless he
would occupy an outhouse of logs, used for
fodder, one-half being supplied with a plank
Uoor, the other being the natural soil. As
a party was to leave in two davs, these ac
commodations were accepted, father,
mother and son sleeping in one bed, and
their servant gii* where she could.
The first night they slept
soundly till after midnight, when
they became aware of things scampering
and swiftly gliding over the floor, overhead
and in one instance over the bed. As the
light increased they found that their visi
tors were rats and chicken snakes, but they
disappeared very soon. They determined to
risk another night, especially us the strictest
search could detect the presence of neither
rat nor serpent. About the same hour of
the night there was a repetition of the oc
currences of the night iiefore, and having
discovered that the serpents were only
cidck.il snakes the travelers slept on, though
the boy declared that something
had crawled over his face towards
morning. The father- dressed and
retired, and the mother got up r.t the proper
time. Hit habit was t<> l'ut her keys, stock
ings and bag under her pillow before getting
into bod. Supping her feet Into her shoes,
>\ liicli had hecli, she put her hand under the
pillow from which she had just risen,
•■■hen she felt the cold skiti of the snake.
She toll tile child to jump out of bod, and
08 she did 1.0 she slipped off one of
her !:oes, held it as a hammer, jerked
a wav the pillow, and as the serpe.it raised
its triad, struck it a deadly blow. It
squirmed to the floor, writhed a little, and
then lav still. To her horror she then dis
covered it to be a “moccasin.” The house
uas w.thiu titty yards of a swamp, which
abounded' with those interesting reptiles.
Upon 1 icing complimented on her cooineis
and bravery, she admitted that had she not
thought it a chicken snake, she would have
acted differently. She was not one of
the kind that screams and jump on
chairs at the sight of a little
mouse, moreover was a Beaufort girl, like
her sex generally on Port itoyal, able to
break a marsh taekv, steer a boat through
the surf, sail one in a stiff breeze, play a
drum-fish, and then shine in a drawing
room among the brilliant men and woruou
who then abounded on our seacoast from
lie 8n ntee to the St. Mary’s. In those
times Ba<ton, Baltimore, Charleston Beau
fort and Savannah were famed for their
beautiful women and of a culture unsur
passed anywhere. X. Y. Z.
