are generally, though, the go-as-you-please
kind. There are some who ask permits for
a select affair and we never hear any more
of it. They are the better class of colored
people. There are few to whom permits
are never granted. We don't permit those
who have been repeatedly hauled" before
the mayor for disturbing the neighborhood

though. Altogether Savannah has as quiet

as there is in any city in the south"

UNIFORM RATE.
Exporters who got their cotton carried
from the interior last year without paying
for the risk, and those who paid very little,
will of course, have to pay more this year
but as the rates were not uniform last year,
and as insurance companies made the best
contracts they could to get business, export
ers who made very bad bargains last year
ought not TO have to pay any more, or as
much this year, while others who made
good bargains last year will not be enabled
to do as well this year"
The Increase in the marine tariff rates
this year is said to be owing to the fact that
the insurance companies, by reason Of the
cotton fires of 1897, did not make any
money last year on their cotton risks. II is
not understood that exporters will be able
to get any reduction of the cotton rates
fixed by the marine insurance syndicate,
which is higher this year than last, as the
following comparative figures will show on
the tariff Of 1887 'SS, which was not lived up

TIE HENpYs ORGANIZE.
The Young Amateurs Want a Chance
at the Gold Mounted Bat.

at the Gold Mounted Bat.
A permanent organization of the Hendy
Base Ball Club and Athletic Association
has been effected by the election Of the fol
lowing officers;
President-W. F. Hendy.
Vice President-D F. Kiley.
Secretary-N. Corish.
Treasurer-James Corish.
The association is composed of about
forty Of the best amateur base ball players
of Savannah. The object of the organiza-
ton is to encourage amateur games during
the summer months between the Hendys
and clubs from Macon, Charleston aud
Atlanta, and also clubs in the city. The
association has an eye to securing the gold
mounted base ball bat which was won, at
the state fair fifteen years ago, BY the old
Savannah team, conteSting for it next
summer. The bat is in the possession of
one of the members of the old Savan-
nahs. Ii is q handsome stick,
with three wide bands of solid gold around
it. Its original cost was between Sl75 and
500. The bat was brought TO Savannah
after being won at the fair and the four
Savannah clubs contested for it, on con-
ditlon that it was TO be the property of the
club winning it three times in succession.
The Savannahs won it twice and the Dixies
once For some reason the contest was not
finished. and the Hendys think that it be-
longs to none of the old clubs.
The Hendy Association starts under fair
auspices, and it hopes to be 100 strong be
fore the summer season.
