BIG INCREASE IN EXPORTS.



An interesting feature of the years bus
mess at this port is the increase in the val
uation of exports through the custom
house.
AS Will be seen from the subjoined state
ment, the increase has been nearly $4,000. g.
OO0 The showing is even more conspicu-
GUST when it is understood that the value
OF the products exported has been much
lower than during 1896.
10 bring up the amount of valuation of
the total exports, il was, therefore, nee
essary to increase the volume of the COM
modities exported. There was an increase
in the exports of cotton, of about 10000
bales; an increase in the exports of rossn,
OF about 10000 barrels. but in the exports
OF spirits turpentine there was a decrease
OF about 1900 casks, as compared with
1896.
The value of spirits turpentine, however,
was much higher in 1897 than in 1896, and
IN TINS item the value helped to make up
for the decrease in the exports
The summer months of 1897 as will be
seen by the table, showed a decrease as
compared with 1896. This is readily ac-
counted for by the fact that during these
months spirits turpentine was being held
at this port the volume of the shipments
being made later In the season, while in
1876 there was a steady outward move
ment of both spirits turpentine and rosin.
There was material increase in the
value of exports during September, Octo-
Der and December, the month of October
showing the largest amount ever record
ed at the custom house, being $5,164, 49l
There is every indication that the heavy
movement of exports will continue, as
there are more steamers and sailing YES
sells chartered TO load during the next few
months than there has ever been before
at this season of the wear
The following table vsill show the amount
of exports, by the month. for the years of
1897 and 1885,

LUMBER TRADE A LITTLE OFF.
The Shipments Last Year Compared
With 1896.

The lumber trade during 1897 kept up a
steady movement, and the shipments from
this port were 1872, $1,000 feet, or only five
million feet less than the shipments dur
ing 1896, which was the year of the heav-
lest shipmen IS ever known here.
There were only two months during the
year in viii oh there was a material fall
ing off of shipments, those of February
and November. The other months kept UP
on an average above 100000 feet month
There was a strong competition in the
trade com ing from the interior, and it was
with the nergy and management charac-
teristic of Savannah's merchants that the
lumber ira de of 1897 turned out so satisfac-
torily.
The folio wing table will show the ship
ment of lumber for each month during the
years Of 1897 and 1896:

COCK FIGHTING.
A Historic sport That Dates Back to
the Olympic Games.

Historic sport Inat Dates Bnck to
the Olympic Games.
From the Philadelphia Times.
At first cock lighting was partly re-
hgious and partly political institution at
Athens and was continued for improving
the seeds Of valor in the minds of the
Greek youth, but was afterwards pervert-
ed both there and in other parts Of Greece
to a common pastime. without any politi-
cal or religious intention The Romans
were prone to initiate the Greeks but did
not as may be gathered from Coumella,
adopt this practice very early. 1t is not
known when this sport was first introduce
ed into England but it was probably
brought there by the Romans. It has by
some been called royal diversion. and the
first cockpit al Whitehall was erected by
Charles II for the more magnificent cele-
brauon of IT, The birds are generally
dieted for about a fortnight or three weeks
bv regular feeders. Cocks Of a middle
SIZE are found the gest fighters. the match
weights being from three pounds six ounces
10 four pounds eight ounces. The place
appropriated to lighting Is called the pit
The battle is conducted by settlers as they
are called, who place the cocks beak to
beak.
When once the cocks are pitted neither
of the setters-to cannot touch his cock so
long as they continue to fight unless their
weapons are entangled This has been
modified by certain rules in this country.
But If they have LEFT Off fighting while
the umpire or law-te.lcr can count forty

The railroads report that the movement

Florida from the central and eastern
parts of the Carolinas are those thatsare

the prepaid order pan. This plan is for
the operator to request his factor at Sa-
vannah to place an order with the rail-
road for transportation. The railroad fur
nishes this transportation and collects
from the factors. The advantage to the
operator consists in its giving him
chance TO mobolize his men without
having to purchase tickets from all the
points from which they are gathered. The
operators, or their representatives, 20 up
to bring the hands down. The movement
just at this season is caused by the return
of the hands to work after spending the
holidays at their Carolina homes.
