Savannah's cotton receipts for the sea
/.i of 1898-99 passed the half million-bale
mark yesterday, the total receipts to date
being 510,090 bales. Yesterday’s receipts
K , i. something over 11,000 bales. The pe
culiar coincidence about this is that the
half million mark is reached on the same
day this season as it was last, only the
receipts to date are over 4,000 bales ahead
of what they were the same day last year.
This shows that there is another Immense
crop of cotton this year, and that Savan
nah is getting her full share of it.
The cotton buyers ate very well pleased
with the situation. "There will be an 11,.
000, 000-bale crop,” said a prominent cotton
broker to a Morning News reporter yester
day. “and Savannah will get her full
share of it. Savannah's cotton business is
now in a very satisfactory state. Cotton
is coming here from Alabama. Mississippi
Upper Georgia and South Carolina, as weil
a.- from our own immediate territory. We
are competing successfully in all this fight
ing territory, as we call all this territory
in which we come in competition with
New Orleans and other points.”
The shipper exhibited drafts for cotton
shipped from a dozen points in nearly half
as many different states.
“That simply represents one day’s bus
iness,” he said, “and gives you some idea
of what is being done. The cotton ship
pers of Savannah are in a very satisfac
tory position at present. Freight rates
have been satisfactory, freight room has
been plentiful and the railroad facilities
are ample. The increased facilities pro
vided by the railroads have had a great
deal to do in drawing cotton to the port.
This and the satisfactory settlement of
the question of foreign freight rates ac
counts for the ease with which cotton Is
now brought to Savannah. The old song
of lower freight rates from Charleston and
Brunswick than from Savannah is a thing
of the past. On account of the larger
amount of cotton demanding freight room
here than at Charleston or Brunswick, it
sometimes happens that a siightiy higher
rate prevails temporarily than at adjoin
ing ports, but this is simply because of
the demand, and not because of any ar
bitrary rate.”
“Avery important change in the cotton
business,” continued the broker, “has been
the marked improvement in the form, of
the cotton hale. The changing of packing
boxes has been very general, and a uni
versal standard has been well nigh reach
ed. We have at last arrived at the point
where the cotton bale will cease to be
the unsightly package which it has been
heretofore. The tendency is to a more uni
form bale. The result is a saving to ship
pers. enabling steamships to carry more
bales, and making the shipments much
easier to handle.”
"How about the recent complaint from
Liverpool of 'country damage?' ” the gen
tleman was asked.
There is no reason for such complaint,
far as Savannah is concerned,” he re
plied. "The railroads have increased their
Shed capacity to the extent that ail cot
ton is thoroughly covered. This so-called
country damage is chiefly the result of
exposure. Some such damage occurs to
coastwise shipments because cotton so
shipped is sometimes allowed to lie over
for as much as two weeks at Baltimore
or New York, awaiting reshipment and
suffering exposure to the weather. Cotton
shipped direct by steamship should show
no damage on arriving at Liverpool.”
I he subject of the cylindrical bale was
brought up, and the gentleman was asked
how it was that none of these new-style
hales had been shipped through Savan
nah.
Because,” he replied, “these gins are
located in the West, and are controlled
by a trust, which buys up the cotton at
1 iw ' gin and sells direct to the manufac
turers. The Standard Oil Company is
supposed to be behind this trust. The evi
dent purpose of the trust is to control
the cylindrical bale entirely. Agents of
the (rust are sent to the principal for
tg't markets, where they spend months
exhibiting sample bales to the manufac
turers. and persuading them that this
style bale is better suited to their in
i' rests than the old-style bale. Naturally
the exporter does not look favorably upon
! " cylindrical bale, because it means the
elimination of the middie man.”
■ t is claimed for the cylindrical bale pro
" ss that it gives a better staple and puts
t 'e cotton in more convenient shape for
t ie spinner to use than the old method.
Ihe crop in Georgia is estimated to be
about 15 per cent, off as the result of
xiorms and other causes. For the some
reasons the grade of a great deal of ihe
• oiton received here is very low, mean
ing the lowest of low prices for the pro
ducer. Georgia raised a large crop of cot
ton this year, and in those sections which
wore not devastated by the storms the
fields were said to be still white with the
staple. Many fields have yet to be picked
for the first time.
On account of the low price which cot
ton is bringing, farmers are not hurrying
the harvest as they might do were the cose
otherwise. The cost of harvesting and de
livering to the inland market is estimated
at about one-third the value of the bale,
and many small farmers, who are already
deeply i n debt, are said to be neglecting
their harvesting because they see there
"ill be nothing left for them when the
cotton is sold.
There is also a scarcity of labor, the ne
groes not being eager to work at the
present low wages. The rate paid to cot
ton pickers now is hardly more than half
what it was te'n years ago, and the ne
groes are no longer flush with money at
Christmas from their earnings in the cot
ion fields. Hence indifference on the part
of both planter and laborer combine to de
lay the harvesting of the crop.

4-PAW-SELLS BENGAL TIGER.
He W u* Once Terror of the Indian
Jungle*.
Last April, at Montreal, the management
of the Forepaugh-Sells Bros.’ circus, pur
chased a formidable Bengal tiger which
had been captured only a few months
previously, and had been brought to the
C Canadian metropolis on a ship direct from
Calcutta. The natives in Bengal said that
his tlgership had destroyed and devoured
more than eighty people, including four
entire families, who lived near his favor
ite jungle. He seemed to bear a c.harmed
(ife, and could not be exterminated with
either spear or bullet.
Finally, with the aid of a column of
British cavalry, he was run into a huge
trap, bound with ropes and thongs, and
forced Into a strong cage in which he
was conveyed on the ship to Montreal. Pe
ter Sells, general manager of the 4-Paw-
Sills combine, happened in Montreal at
the time of the tiger, and, after three
days' negotiations, purchased the animal
from the captain of the vessel. It was
a costly affair, however, as the treas
ury department of the big aggregation
was obliged to separate from seven thou
sand good American dollars—an unparal
leled figure, as the regular price of tigers
ranges from *1,300 to *2,ooo—in order to
obtain possession of the monster. t
During th£ long voyage from Calcutta,
the passengers, officers and crew were in
mortal fear of the beast. One day he
forced the bars of his cage apart and rush
ed wildly about the compartment in the
hold, where his cage set. Great conster
national prevailed. The passengers flew
to their staterooms and the sailors skip
ped aloft. Fortunately, the mate was a
cool-headed fellow, who had had some
experience in handling wild beasts. He
ordered a couple of sailors to bring out
the fire hose, and, while the tiger was
making terrific leaps towards the hatch
way, which he had thus far been unable
to clear, a stream of water was turned
upon him. Drenched with water instant
ly. he jumped about in abject terror. Nev
er was an animal more surprised. He de
fied bullets and steel, but succumbed to
cold water.
Completely cowed and as meek as. the
proverbial lamb, he took refuge in his
cage. While the sailors covered the open
ing in the cage with a powerful stream
of water and the tiger lay trembling in
one corner, the mate boldly approached
and repaired the twisted bars. As soon
a6 the sailors stopped playing on the ti
ger, he.became as furious as ever, nnd
made desperate efforts to re-escape, but
the bars had been securely adjusted.
Since being placed in Forepaugh and
Sells’ menagerie, where he is confined in
a specially strong cage, he has torn the
arms and shoulders of two employes
through the steel bars of his lair, and
no man can be found among the several
experienced and courageous wild-beast
trainers with the show daring enough to
enter his den and face him. They believe
he can never be subdued. The circus peo
ple have named him “Satan.”
If any of the ambitious youth of the city
would like to attempt the. subjection of
this famous beast, and thereby attain
everlasing renown—a prize so dear to the
juvenile heart—the management of the big
dual show may be induced to furnish them
an opportunity on the occasion of its ap
proaching visit here.
LIVE OAK'S SOCIAL SESSION.
Member* anil Friend* Entertained
Witli n Flensing Programme.
The social session of Dive Oak Lodge
at Odd Fellows' Hall last night, was suc
cessful in every respect. There was a
large attendance, and the programme
proved highly entertaining. Among the
visitors was a number of soldiers in uni
form, members of the order, who greatly
enjoyed the fraternal reception accorded
them.
The exercises began with the opening
ode of the order, followed by prayer by
the chaplain, P. G. John Houston. Past
Grand Lee Butler, chairman of the com
mittee on arrangements, explained the
objects of the meeting. Social sessions,
he stated, are intended to renew interest
in the lodge work, to revive and cement
fraternal feelings, and to enable the mem
bers to extend social courtesies to their
lady friends, as well as the brethren of
other lodges. Master Everett sang “Me-
Clusky’s White Vest” very effectively, and
was rewarded with unstinted applause.
Miss Maggie Behr, quite a well trained
young elocutionist, recited “Lottie's Mes
sage.” She gave a sympathetic Interpre
tation of the pathetic poem. Miss Ever
ett followed with a humorous song, "Fin
negan, the Umpire,” and proved fully as
clever as her brother. "The Palms,” a
solo by Miss Wilensky, was the next num
ber. The young pianist acquitted herself
with credit.
Past Grand Master Manucy then deliv
ered an address on “Odd Fellowship,”
probably the best of the many he has
prepared on a topic with which he is
thoroughly acquainted. A story of the
campaign at Santiago was told by Mr.
Manucy which illustrated the significance
of Odd Fellowship and appealed directly
to the soldiers present. It was a tale
of devotion, of self-sacrifice on the part
of one wounded soldier for another, which
had aroused the Interest of Col. Roose
velt of the Rough Riders, one of whose
men was a party to the sad drama. Two
soldiers, one a regular, the other a Texan,
in Col. Roosevelt’s regiment, were wound
ed and carried to the same military hos
pital. The regular was soon discharged,
his woqnds being slight. Returning to his
command, he sought and secured permis
sion to go back to the hospital and nurse
the Rough Rider. In his rounds at night
Col. Roosevelt noticed the devotion of
the nurse to the patient, and from other
sources heard of his depriving himself of
rest and of comforts in order that the
wounded man might be better served. One
night the colonel was summoned to the
hospital and found the Rough Rider dy
ing. By his side was the regular, with
hand clasped in his dying comrade’s. Col.
Roosevelt received the messages and little
valuables of the Rough Rider, and, after
his eyelids had been closed in death, turn
ed to the comrade by his side, and asked
the reason for his tender solicitude and
unstinted care of the sufferer.
"Did you knqw him before?” he asked.
“No, I never met him until we were laid
side by side in this hospital."
"Do you know his family or friends?"
"Nothing beyond what he has told me
of them in his last days.”
“Well, what led you to devote yourself
so faithfully to him. to sacrifice yourself
to alleviate his pains, to serve one who
was an entire stranger to you?”
The soldier hesitated and then replied:
"Colonel, as we lay together here I found
that he was a brother Odd Fellow."
"God bless such an order,” said the
colonel. “I never knew there was so
much in It. When I return to the'states I,
too, shall seek such friendship as this.”
“And he did.” said Mr. Manucy, “and
the Odd Fellows of New York state who
have heard him relate this touching inci
dent of army and fraternal life were
drawn very close to him, realizing that
within Col. Roosevelt’s bosom there is a
warm- heart that throbs for other’s woes.”
Master and Miss Everett gave a humor
ous sketch at the close of Mr. M inuoy’s
address, and after the singing of the clos
ing ode by the Odd Fellows present the ]

EXPLOSIVES OUT OF DANGER.
The City'* New Magazine XXill Re <><•-
pied Monday.
The city’s explosives will be transferred
Monday from the old to the new maga
zine. This has just been completed. It
was accepted and paid for day before yes
terday, when, as stated in the Morning
News, a party of officials, consisting of
Mayor Meldrim, Commissioner of Public
Works Wlllink, Aldermen Davis, Reid,
Charlton, Thomas and Smith drove out to
make an inspection of the new building.
The magazine is located on the south
side of the Ogeechee road, about four
miles out. The officials were greatly
pleased with all they saw and they regard
the magazine as one of the best they ever
saw. Two of the aldermen, speaking of
their inspection of the building, said they
have no doubt it is as fine a building for
its purpose as any in the state.
A cost to the city of about *5,000 is rep
resented in the magazine and its grounds.
There are over twenty acres of the tract
upon which it is built, and the city bought
this just a short while before work on the
magazine was commenced, the cost of the
land being about S6OO.
The magazine is strongly built and is
fire-proof. There is no wood about it ex
cept in the roof, and between that and the
explosives there is a thick brick arch. The
floor consists of a thick layer of asphalt,
and the same material is used on the
walls and ceiling. It is said the entire
building might be placed in water and that
not a drop could find entrance. The doors
are of steel and are very heavy. By the
strength of the structure and other pre
cautions that have been taken it is believ
ed that it would be impossible for an ex
plosion to take place through any ordinary
accident.
A dwelling house for Keeper Umbach
has also been built. This stands near the
magazine and both are within the same
enclosure. He is given the use of the
house and also of the twenty acres In the
tract. His pay for his services comes in
the way of fees, these being paid by de
positors in the magazine whenever any ex
plosives are drawn out. The fee system is
not a very remunerative one, the keeper
finds, and he would be pleased to see the
city government make his place a salaried
one. even though the pay should be but
small.
The ordinance for the building of the
new magazine was introduced into Council
some months ago by Alderman Smith, and
about three months ago work on the
structure was begun. The need of anew
magazine had become urgent, as it was
considered that the further use of the old
one, which is located near the water
works, would be dangerous. Its proximity
to this valuable property was regarded as
enough to call for Us removal, and there
were other considerations to show that a
new magazine should be built.
The old magazine stands not far from
the railroad tracks, and passing engines
send sparks in its direction. The doors are
of wood, and the building is not entirely
fireproof.
This is the second change that citizens
will remember as having been made in the
storage of explosives. Some thirty years
ago the magazine was located on Ran
dolph street, between President and
Broughton. It was moved to the location
out beyond Laurel Grove cemetery, which
was then some distance out in the coun
try. It will probably be some time before
the tide of progress will sweep Ic still
further out into the county.
There is always a large quantity of ex
plosives stored in the magazine. Three
car loads will be transferred Monday to
the new building. The powder and dyna
mite is kept in the magazine by the deal
ers in the city, there being a law requir
ing their storage in a safe place. This
place the city has to furnish, but it can
pass ordinances governing the storage and
compelling dealers to place ail explosives
beyond immediate need in their business
in the magazine.
Some of the merchants on the Bay have
special permission to keep certain quanti
ties of their explosives in their own lit
tle magazines in the city. As the stock
in these run low they draw on their larger
supplies In the magazine. These small
magazines may be seen in the shape of
iron boxes along the side walk on the
north side of Bay street.
Archbishop Grim*' Condition,
The Baltimore American of Nov. 10 says:
Archbishop William H. Gross, of Oregon,
who is ill at St. Joseph's Hospital, was

out of danger. The archbishop, however,
possesses a wonderful vitality, which may
weaken and retpii iu a serious change at

The last two days has seen a decidedly
stronger tone in the security market and
an upward tendenoy that bids fair to be
especially marked, so far as bonds of the
Central Railroad system arc concerned.
Several classes of bonds were yesterday
quoted higher than they have been, and
it was reported that buying had developed
in New York and gave promise of becom
ing quite large.
First preferred income bonds, which
have been quoted at 38 were
yesterday 2 points higher, and it
was said there was quite a lllierai demand
at 38. Bonds of the Middle Georgia and
Atlanlic division, which hive been at 84,
were in good request at 86.
Mr. George J.'MiTie, the Well-known
broker, said that he would take all offer
ing at the higher figure. Second preferred
Income bonds ahd the Ocean Steamship
Company’s os were also quolably higher
and seemingly ripe for an advance. Every
one of ihe Central's securities, m fact,
was reported as having stiffened up since
the election, and it was the impression
that in the near future a speculative in
terest would develop. The course of prices
of these securities in the past year is
shown in the following statement of quo
tations bid:

“The security market has taken on a
brighter feeling and has a better outlook
than lias characterized it in a long time,”
said Mr. Mills. “The better tone de
veloped iinmediately after the election,
and among those to receive the benefit
have been the securities of the Central
System. I should not be surprised to see
further advances ail along the‘line. The
first preferred Income bonds have assum
ed the greatest speculative strength, and
have, as I have told you, jumped from 36
to 38 and bid fair to go higher. There is
a sentiment that next year these bonds
will draw a dividend, and this tends to
make them at the present quotations a
good investment, and speculators are not
slow to see the good points pf such a se
curity. The third preferred income bonds
will naturally be the last to feel the effects
of a general advance, but they are now
at the lowest ebb.. I believe we are going
to see better prices for all the Central
securities, and that in the near future.”

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but
also to the care and skill with which
it is manufactured by scientific proc
esses known to the California Fig
Syrup Cos. only, and we wish to im
press upon all the importance of pur
chasing the true and original reme
dy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is
manufactured by the California
F:g Syrup Cos. only, a knowledge of
that fact will assist one in avoiding
the worthless imitations manufact
ured by other parties. The high
standing of the California F,g
Syrup Cos. with the medical profes
sion, and the satisfaction which the
genuine Syrup of Figs has given to
millions of families, makes the name
of the Company a guaranty of the ex
cellence of its remedy. It is far in ad
vance of all other laxatives, as it acts
on the kidneys, liver and bowels
without irritating or weakening
them, and it does not gripe nor nau

NORTH C AROLINIANS GRATIFIED.
Flection It cm ill f* Satisfactory to Sn
vannMli'ft Colony.
The members of Savannah's North Car
olina colony have been deeply interested
in recent events in the old North state.
They were all devoutly glad to hear of
the success of the white ticket In the
recent election, nor were they much sur
prised when they heard of the bloody af
fair at Wilmington following the election.
“What else could you expect," said Hon.
T. H. McMillan, formerly of Fayetteville,
N. C. "The people of Wilmington have
borne until they could bear no longer and
the outbreak was only natural. We here
cannot understand how they put up with
the state of affairs as long as they did,
but their circumstances were very differ
ent from ours and a great deal depended
upon the result of the election. North
Carolina was once as solidly Democratic
as Georgia, and now that the Democrats
have regained control, I hope they will
have sense enough to keep it. The Aus
tralian ballot law, with an educational
qualification, Is what Is needed."
It was suggested to Mr. McMillan that
some of his remarks might apply to Geor
gia and that while the Democrats have
everything In Ihelr own hands It might be
well for them to take such steps as to
make such a situation as prevailed In
North Carolina Impossible In this state,
"Something will be done on that line,”
said he. “Our committee which went to
Nashville to witness the operations of the
Australian ballot law at ihe recent elec
tion there will report favorably to the
system and legislation on this line Is al
most certain to be adopted."
Other North Carolinians, who expressed
themselves as pleased with Ihe turn of af
fairs tn their old state, were President W.
C. Powell of the Savannah Naval Stores
Company, Mr. C. D. lialdwln and Mr.
Walter Coney, manager Paterson, Down
ing & Cos. Mr. Coney was in Wilmington
In 1876, when there were troublous times
in Nonh Carolina, and commanded one
of the militia companies, which was un
der arms in the city.
Mr. Powell said: "It is Impossible for the
people here to conceive of the state of
affairs in Eastern North Carolina, under
the Republican regime. It was simply ne
gro domination. We have the negro so
well in hand here in Georgia that we do
not know how to sympathize with those
under negro misrule. Now that ihe white
people of North Carolina have thrown off
the yoke I trust they will have sense
enough to make such a state of affairs
Impossible hereafter."
The North Ouroiina colony In Savannah
la a large one, including many of the most
successful business men of the city. The
strength of the colony was shown last
summer in the movement which resulted
In sending a magnificent floral tribute to
rest upon the bier of Ensign Worth Rag
ley of the 111-fated Winslow, ovef sixty
North Carolinians joining In the move

TO ME PROBATED TO-IJAY.
Vr. GuernriPft Estate I mlrntiXMl to
Largely Remain In Trust.
The will of the late Richard Dennis
Guerard was filed In the office of the
Court of Ordinary yesterday afternoon,
but will not be admitted to probate until
to-day.
While the will is a closed document
as yet, so far as the general public
Is concerned, It Is understood that Mr.
William E. Guerard, brother of the de
ceased, and Mr, Joseph Guerard, nephew
of the deceased, are named as executors,
and will manage the estate, the value of
which Is believed to approach $fOO,K). Mr.
Joseph Guerard Is now North at college,
but will return to Savannah soon.
The Impression is current that
the bulk of the estate will l>e
held in trust for the benefit of
the brother and sisters of the deceased,
and their children, with legacies lo other
members of the family. Mr. Guerard’s
business affairs were well managed, and
the estate Is probably In excellent condi
tion in every respect.
