OVER A MILLION BALES.
6AvANNAa'S RECEIPTS JUMP
PAST THE MILLION MARK.

The Total Receipts OF Cotton for the
Season so Far 1000 40 Bales,

Ever Known for the Same Time
100000 Bales More Expected Be-
fore the SEASON Cloees-Cotton Men
Jubilent-The Causes Which Led to
the Big Receipts-whst the Figures
Show.
Savannah's cotton receipts for this ssa-
son reached 1909, 100 bales yesterday.
There were few members Of the cotton
exch ange on the floor at o'clock when the
days receipts, arc bales, were posted on
she blackboard. The tota . for the season
thus far read: ], OOO, l2O bale sgross 1000, O72
bales net.
The receipts now are 9s, 697 bales greater
than last seasons receipts at this time, and
4S,6O3 bales greater than for the entire last
season, which was the greatest in the his
tory of the port.
Twenty years ago or more it was the
boast of Savannahians that the receipts Of
the port would in time reach 500, 900 bales.
That number was received in 1885, None
of the most sanguine ever dreamed then Of
QOuDunS pnOSe ngureS III twenty years.
WHAT DID 1T.
The enormous increase in receipts is not
the result Of a sudden wiDdfall. An analy-
sis of the tables shows that the receipts
have been steadily growing each year, pro-
portionately as the crop increased.
There is IN old saying that every
thing finds it level. So with Savannah's
cotton receipts. The crop to be marketed
expeditiously seeks the nearest outlet, all
things being equal, and with Savannah's
facilities for handling tho staple, which are
equaled by few ports, it was but natural
that her receipts should increase with each
succeeding crop.
For the care and shipping Of cotton
Savannah stands unrIvaled by any port on
the AtlaaUic, and no fears are entertained
that she will fall Off in her onward strides,
which, in a couple Of years, it is believed,
will bring her up even with New Orleans.
THE FIGURES.

Savannah from the beginning Of the season
up to aud including March Is, since 1872,

and Politicians.
Col. James r. Sneed, whose death in
Chicago was announced 10 the MORNING
News yesterday, was we'll known to old
citizens of Savannah. He spent the best
years Of bis life with them, and always
claimed Savannah az his home. Mr.. Sneed
came here from Washington, Wilkes
county, In 1855. and entered into partner
ship With the late p. ". Alexander, in
publishing the Savannah Republican. On
the withdrawal OF Mr.. Alexander in the
following year Mr.. Sneed formed part
nershlp with the late +. W. Sims. In 1855
he disposed OF his interest to his partner,
but retained the editorship Of the paper un-
Gil the occupation Of the city by Sherman's
army.
The Republican remained in alien hands
until 1868, when Mr.. Sneed purchased it at
public sale. He was editor and proprietor
Of the paper for about a'year, when he sold
It.
Col. Sneed was collector of customs for
the port Of Savannah under the confeder-
ate regime.
On retiring from the Republican Mr..
Sneed moved to Atlanta, and thence to
Washington, ID. @. He was postmaster of
the United States Senate from 1882 until
1885. and, under President Cleveland's
administration, was fourth auditor OF the
treasury department.
Originally Col Sneed was a wing, but
after the virtual disappearance of that
party from southern politics he became
what would now be termed an independent.
In the political campaign when Lincoln
was elected President his paper supported
the Bell and Everett ticket. He strongly
opposed the secession of the state, but, like
thousands OF others. he submitted 20 the
judgment Of q majority of bis fellow-citizens
and became very strong confederate. He
was a forcible writer. and in his day was
considered an excellent newspaper man.
Col. Sneed was married twice and had
several children. One OF them was the late
William NJ. Sneed, who founded the Evening
Times, and another was Mrs. William r.
Pritchard Of this city.
