I, Is to He Unlit—Many YNlps Are Being Bond ed-Savannah Has I'rotltcd t#rewlly 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 In addition to the Increase In the dimen 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 A littlo more than two yesrs ago Hutch inson's Island ttat a Waitr. only a poor arnl shabby house oc. uplcd by negroes, her* and thorn relieving the vlaw that mot the eye of one standing upon the lilufT on the ninth *.<l* of the rlvar. 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 will b* recesrary between the main city and such a busy section at the Island Is to become.

My Aret impression was to visit the places of historic inter . m. and. accordingly. I created over West Broad street to take a book at the old I camping grounds of the Yamacraws. I 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 with music and dancing Having nothing else to do. and a taste for such pleasure, many *lays thereafter w*re beguiled In the same way 1 stood where 1 thought had stood at the Greene monument.and looked on It.
