NEARING THEIR COMPLETION.
floor Conception of Wliat They Will

Much Work Still to Be Done, hot
the Hulk of the Undertaking Has
Been Left neliinrt Hutchinson
Island a* It Was Two Years Ago
and ns It I at Present—Latent
Possibilities Transformed Into Ac
tive Utilities lij the Power of
Money and Brains—Compress will
Bogin Operation.
The terminals of the Seaboard Air Line
on Hutchinson’s Island, begin tb wear
something of the appearance they will
have when completed. Though several of
the sheds and larger buildings are uniin
ished, the work is yet well under way and
the magnitude of the project can be
much better appreciated now than has
been possible heretofore.
Savannahians remember the expanse of
unus. and ground that made up the island
as it was two years ago. Along the bank
of the river, immediately opposite the
center of the city, a marine railway, a
dock for ihe revenue cutter on duty In
the harbor, two or thiee rotting wharves
and a dozen or more dismantled hulks
relieved the otherwise unbroken prospect.
Possibilities were there, but they needed
the brain of enterprise to understand thorn
and tire power of capital and industry to
develop them into agencies for increasing
the trade and business ’importance of Sa
vannah.
The brains and the capital were fur
nished by the management of the then un
born Seaboard Air Line, and, aroused by
(he Jingle of the guineas, industry un
curled its slow length and got to work.
Time passed, and a change was wrought
in the physical appearance of the island,
though it was not such a one as would
have delighted the heart of the aesthetic.
Instead of marsh and mud, there was mud
and plenty of it. It was piled up along
the banks of the river, transported to
the interior of the island and used in
bringing the surface few inches higher
above the level of the sea, dumped in ugly
profusion in every nook and cranny nnd
plastered, so it seemed, all over the face
of the earth.
In the river dredges plied their lengthy
arms from morn till even, and from eve
till morn again. Mud again and more '
mud, spurted from the land end of a long
tube, that dipped, at its other extremity,
into the bed of the river. Save that a
large number of persons seemed to be
very busy and that everything in sight
was extraordinarily dirty, nobody grasp
ed the idea that much had been accom
plished. The island seemed to be as ugly
and unattractive as before.
The change came gradually. Piers and
docks sprang up along the river side, ex
tending far back towards, the Interior,
while sheds an dother buildings were
grouped upon them. Ships and lighters
began to run up to the docks and to load
and unload freight, while busy litile tugs,
overcome by a sense of their own import
ance, steamed noisily around and about.
The desolation had vanished, and instead
there were the outward and visible signs
of industry, thrift and a constantly in
creasing commerce.
The *heds became filled with merchan
dise. to and from every portion of the
country, while bales of the South’s great
ftaple were spread along upon its
wharves. If the eye of the aesthetic
would not even now be entirely satisfied
with the sight that is presented from this
side of the river, that of the up-to-date
business man would be gratified and de
lighted.
Five hundred bales of cotton are now on
th* wharves of the Seaboard terminals,
awaiting the commencement of operations
by the compress that has been erected.
The compress has already been tested and
found to work in a manner entirely satis
factory. To-day it will begin operation.
The compress has not been completed,
but will be probably within the next week
or ten days. It has approached comple
sufflciently near, however, to permit the
compress to be operated without much in
terference from the workmen who are fin
ishing up the structure and the bales of
cotton will be formed into the shape ap
proved of Lloyds without delay or the
danger of unsatisfactory results.
Great things have been done across the
river and Savannahians are now in a po
sition to appreciate it. The ugly and un
sightly island has been transformed into
a place where business methods and the
hum of industry take the places of placid
indifference to opportunity and the drowsy
sleep of sloth.

TELEGRAPHERS IN A STEW.
LETTERS INDICATE A DISSENSION
IN THE ORDER.
Secretary Perliaiu *ay President
Powell Ha Spent All the Protec
tive Funds of the Order and Han
Not Won a Single Strike—Con voli
tion of the Subordinate Divisions
Called—Telegraphers' Order In Kow
Without Fund.*.
Atlanta. July 25.—Copies of letters which
have been passing between President W.
V. Powell of the Order of Railroad Tele
graphers and H. B. Perham, secretary' of
the grand division of that organization,
with headquarters at St. Louis, indicate a
serious dissension in the orderT
Secretary' Perham has requested the su
bordinate divisions over the country to
vote for a special session or extra con
vention of the order. Twenty'-one divis
ions have already voted in favor of the
conven<ion and the remaining four divis
ions are expected to take action in a few
days.
The trouble grows out of the Southern
Railway strike, which was directed from
Atlanta by Mr. Towell, and copies of the
correspondence between the two officials
have been sent to all members of tho
order.
Becre<ary Perham charges that the
Southern strike was badly mismanaged,
and that the order suffered greatly in
prestige because of the failure. He alleges
that the president has caused to be with
drawn from the treasury practically all
the funds of the order, charging specific
ally that $35,868 was illegally disbursed by’
the president’s orders, and that the pro
tective fund of the order, instead of hav
ing SSO,(XK) on hand, has practically no
available funds.
On June 26. last, when Secretary' Per
ham Issued his call for the special session
of the organization, he stated that the
order had only $365 in bank. Mr. Perham
states in his circular letter that the rela
tions between himself and President Pow
ell are very much strained and this Mr.
Powell corroborates.
NY lint Perham Says.
Charge follows charge and each is an
swered in turn. Regarding the failure* of
the order to win their strikes in late years,
Mr. Perham says:
“Had the president devoted more time
to protecting the membership at large, the
defeats that we have sustained on the Bos
ton and Maine, the New York, New Ha
ven and Hartford, the Big Four, the Cen
tral of Vermont, the Fitchburg Railway
and the Southern Railway' would not now
be a part of the history of this organiza
tion.”
Secretary Perham charges in a circular
of recent date that in the strikers' news
paper, published in Atlanta during the
strike, ‘’personal vilification was heaped
upon the officials of the Southern Railway
in such a manner as to preclude the possi
bility of a settlement being made favora
ble to us and that it had a tendency to
lower t'he organization of the railway' offi
cials throughout the country.”
LETTER FROM CHINA.
Received in Athens ly the Mission
ary Society.
Athens, Ga., July 26.—A most interesting
letter has just been received by the secre
tary of a missionary society of the Pres
byterian Church, which organization has
been supporting a cot in the Elizabeth
Blate Hospital at Soochow, China. The
following sentence reflects the anxiety
felt by the missionaries, at this point:
“You 1 see from the papers what a fright
ful state of affairs against foreigners in
China there is. They say they are going
to tear down our hospital, this w f eek, but
we hope this rioting and war will cease
before it reaches our section.’’ The letter
states that the hospital was to be closed
up to July 1.
Dr. J. R. Wilkerson is the author of the
missive. It is not known whether the
building has survived or has been de
stroyed.
Col. R. U. Thomason of the Third Geor
gia Regiment, stated to a News repre
sentative yesterday that all of the twelve
captains of the companies composing the
Third had notified him of their readiness
to go to China if the services
are accepted by the government.
Prof. Hugh N. Starnes the Univer
sity will deliver an address before the
State Horticultural Society which meets
at Dublin, Aug. 1. His subject will be
“Meat for the Millions.”

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation of
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison ; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to a healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.
Mr. Janies Kell, of 707 Ninth street, N. E„

Colquitt, Ga., July 25.-The case of
Fletcher Irtish charged with the murder

Sclllmore. Gn.,-July 25.—The service train
that left here this morning for Swainsboro
ran over and came near killing a negro
boy four miles from here. As the tram
was round’Jng a curve a negro was dis
covered on the track. He was mistaken
for a hog. but before the train had passed
entirely over him it was stopped. The
engineer and crew picked up the negro
and returned to Stillmoro with him. His
left leg was crushed at the ankle and had
to be amputated. The other leg was
mangled from four inches above the knee,
down, but the doctors think it can be
saved. The negro claimed that he was
sick and had stopped to rest. Those who
took him up say he exhibited signs of be
ing under the influence of whisky.
