From the Terminals.
The fleaboard Air Line will probably add
another #t<*.truer to l<s river fleet. The one
ferryboat that I* now used Is not regarded
as entirely siiffl* lent *o handle the busi
ness that offers nnd the offlcluls have the
purchase of another under consideration.
It Is believed the decision to buy will be
reached and that there will soon be two
ferryboats plying bm< k and forth between
the city and the fleaboard terminals on
Hutchinson's Island.
If the company buys another it will
be larger than the one now operated The
two will then be run. and the more fre
quent departures from both sides of the
river fcill be appreciated by the patrons of
•he osnimriy and others having business
on the Island The boat now In use Is
kept very busy In making flying trips, but
It cannot handle the business quite as sat
isfactorily as could two.
This Is not the only IntKwatiofi the com
pany haw In mind. The proposition to
build a number of bouses for 'employes
<*n the Island Is under consideration This
matter ha* scarcely advanced as far as
that of the additional ferry boat, but It
seems probable that the* company, even If
It should not now do so. will soon con
clude (hat It would be a wise Investment
to ere* t substantial cottages on the Isl
and for those It employs.
From the Inception of the plan for the
Improvement of Hutchinson's Island and
ihe e*tabli*hment of Hie great terminal
system. President John flk* itotk William*
of the fl*al*oard has had in mind the
hutldtng up of the island Nearly two
yiNirs ago he gave an outline of his in
tendon* in this respect, and the picture
was that of a well-populated town, a scene
of life and activity The life and bustle
are there, and It remains for th* early
future to develop a stable population.
Manufactories were also Included In Mr
Williams' plan, and It Is expect sd that
Investors will take nivnnt*t*' of the splen
did shin ing facilities the company *an
offer and the otHesshns It will doubtless
make to any desiring to help in the w>rk
of converting the island Into the Brooklyn
of Savannah
Hundr* d* of a* res on the Island are own
ed by the fleitMtard, and the company h
ready to lease for the leneflt of any <!•-
dieble enterprise All langer of Innova
tion has been removed by the construction
of the monster ievee. higher than the
highest high water ever re**orde<| In the
history of the city, and absolutely no fear
Is felt on thin score. Tho levee extends
all around the company's proparty, and
the Island Is lelleved to be ai*olutely im
mune from Ihe tides that sweep up the
river when nor'easters rage.
Both the new boat and the homes for
employes are matters yet to be decided
upon, but this Is not true of a big ware
house that Is to be erected at once. A
force of hands Is to be put at work, and
It Is expected that sixty days will tie re
quired for the completion of the Job This
will be virtually an extension of Ware
house No. 1. at the western end of the
terminals, though It will be a separate
building and of the same dimensions ns
that it will adjoin The new warehouse
will be Just north of the one already in
use.
The erection of the new warehouse Is

sions of the spirits and rosin sheds, upon
which contractors are now busy. The of
ficial* find that their first calculations
are being outstripped by the volume of
business the fleahoard Is doing at Havan
nah, and the additions to the terminal*
are rendered absolutely necessary. New
track* In the yarns are under construc
tion

little war It thought thm that the time
whieh ha* elap-ed would hrtng *u<'h a
change. Now all the stir and business of
terminal* unsutpassed In the South, ahow
that the products of thl* region are ship
ped to all the world, while returnlna ves
rel* discharge cargo** from cities of this
and foretitn lands
Now and then some visitor reaches Sa
vannah for the first time since the work
on the terminal* wa* begun. When hi*
lm*lne* or pleasure takes him to the
river front, he !* almost astounded by the
change* that have taken place. Where
he recalled nothing but the storm-swept
Island, stand warehouse* and compresses,
with slips making deep, encroachment* up
on the land and vast quantities of cotton,
naval stores and other products awaiting
shipment.
I-o.iding at the Seaboard wharves now
are four steamships, while three more are
exiiected this week Five sailing vessels
are also receiving Ihetr cargoes. Since the
opening of the terminals on July 1 there
have been vessels at the wharves, and the
officials of the Seaboard, those to whom
the vessel* are consigned and the steve
dores who have charge of their loading
.ire all well pleased with the arrangement
of the wharves and the facility and dis
patch with which the work may be car
rled on.
During the day Hutchinson's Island ha*
a large population. Many men earn their
support where subsistence for but a scanty
few was eked out before ihe conception
of the plan of the terminal* by Mr W
W. Mnckall. and He execution by him.
Mr Williams and the gentlemen associated
with them The Scatmurd alone employ*
.VXI men on Ihe island These work In all
capacities, and Agent C. ('. Martin has a
'mall anry under hi* direction The
compress employ* fifty men. while the
contractor* engaged In the erection of
the additional buildings have eeventy -five
at work. Working In each of the steam
er#, stowing away the cotton, are about
I.TO stevedore*, so |: may he seen that
employment for a vast number I* afforded
at the terminal*.
Sivannah mer hants hare noted the ef
feet of the work n the Island and have
benefited by 11. Through dull and lively
season* the work went on. with never a
cosatloq. hundred# of workmen carrying
out the scheme evolved by the able finan
cier*. who seek the upbuilding of their
own fortunes, while aiding civtllxallon and
humanity by devetopmem oisl expendi
tures that benefit many secllons and thou
sands of people.
Great things are expected of Ihe termi
nals it 1* believed they will serve, with
those of the tvntral and the Plant Sys
tem, to make It clear to all that shipping
facilities are enjoyed here that far sur
pass those of atvy other city of the South
Atlantic or Gulf coast* The peopl* of
Savannah expect to see the Island popu
lation and the number of buildings grow
rapidly, and the course of time may bring
a great bridge, spanning the river and
tendering easy the communication that

and such a busy section at the Island Is

while on my way to New

rea* hed Savannah a stranded boy. Not
being able to proceed North, for a diver*
sion and from boyish curiosity. I took In
the town on foot. My Aret impression
was to visit the places of historic inter

Broad street to take a book at the old

was dbappointed. and werd further out
to Jasper Springs, sat down on a log and,
in a refreshing *hale. ate my lunch and
dreamed a mid-day dream A cricket at
the spring ttiirped a lonely chirp, and
over toward the river a partridge whistled
his sad whistle as he robhed Mr Exley a
farm of a few seed. In Ihe '.>o| of the
evening I came on hack and stopped at
the old rl e mills, where the cultured men
aiul reAned women of Savannah had In
the long ago entertained the President

I had read "MaJ. Jones' Courtship" by
