st . Julian Street and Make

■r h( , Lower Cotton Press, owned by
* L , njlP d Hydraulic Cotton Press Cos.,
with nil the company's holdings on the
north side of Bay street, east, about
-00 feet of wharf property extending
from what is known as the Lamar
p r es to Gordon's wharf, has been
leaded to the Plant System; and all
‘ t property of the United Hydraulic
Cotton Press Cos. to the soutii of Bay
flree t, Including the warehouses on St.
Julian street, has been leased to the
Savannah, Florida and Western Rail
way.
The lease, to become effective Sept.
1, was signed in New York Tuesday by
president R. G. Erwin in behalf of the
railroads, and by Mr. James M. Bar
nard, president of the United Hydraulic
Cotton Press Cos. This act on his part,
however, is subject to a ratification by
the stockholders of the concern, who
will have a meeting for that purpose
at Mr. Barnard s office on Aug. 13. The
lease of the presses is for a period of
five years, with the option of increas
ing it to ten, while the warehouses are
leased for twenty-five years.
The question of these leases has been
under the consideration of the Board
of Directors of the Cotton Press Com
pany for some time, but it was on only
last Tuesday that the matter was
finally settled, and the leases signed
on terms that it is believed will be en
tirely satisfactory to the stockholders.
The lease of the presses includes
that of the new presses now being
constructed in Chicago, which, under
contract, should be ready for use Sept.
15, and which will take the place of
the press wrecked by an accident last
December. This press which will Seost
,30.000. will have a capacity of 100 bales
an hour with a density of at least 35
pounds to the cubic foot, without
changing the character of the package
or damaging the fiber. The press now
in use has the same capacity per hour,
but with a density of only 20 to 25
pounds to the cubic foot. The style of
bale is the "square.”
Mr. W. W. Bierce, of W. W. Bierce,
Limited, who are building the new
press, will be in Savannah to-day to
begin the work preliminary to getting
the machinery in place.
These leases taken in connection
with those of the Upper Cotton Press
and adjacent property leased to the
G. & A. road disposes of all of the
property of the United Hydraulic Cot
ton Press Cos.
In discussing the matter generally
last night Mr. Barnard said that the
directors of the company realize that
the day of individual compresses is
past, and that the only successful
way of conducting the business
is now in connection with the railway
system that has the handling of the
cotton. It is in the line of concentration
of business, allows of greater economy
in the handling of the cotton and con
sequently lessens the expenses of the
producer.
The lease of the St. Julian street
property includes that of a lot con
taining about 10 acres on which it is
probable that the railway will build
warehouses with the object of making
that place the terminal of its cotton
business.
The lease of the Lower Press prop
erty gives the Plant System increased

Copt. W. T. Gilt.on Satisfied With
Hit Initial Trip to Augusta.
Capt. W. T. Gibson, general manager
of the Southern Transportation Com
pany, Is greatly pleased with the trial
trip of the steamboat Louise, which
bag just made her first trip to Augus
ta. The new boat behaved beautiful
-15 • an( t she did all that her builders
expected of her.
• apt. Gibson said the new boat made
an average speed of fifteen miles an
hour coming with the stream, and an
average of twelve miles an hour going
hp against it. Returning she made the
<np from Stoney BlufT to Savannah, a
distance of 190 miles, In very satisfac
tory time. Owing to the power of her
engines and the quick turning of her
neels it was found difficult to steer
tne Louise. Her steering gear will be

TROUBLE IN THE CAMP.
Warring Republican Factions Abuse
Leaders of Each Other.
The perfect peace “that passeth all
understanding” does not brood over the
Republican party in Savannah and
Chatham county. Asa matter of fact
peace between its opposing factions has
not been declared' for a number of
years, but now there is even more
acerbity than is usually manifested at
any time other than the eve of a cam
paign.
There is yet some Federal patronage
to be distributed and the contention
over this is responsible for the compli
ments that are now being exchanged
between representatives of the warring
factions. Col. John H. Deveaux, collect
or of the port of Savannah, and secre
tary of the State Executive Committee
of the Republican party, had some of
these pleasantries shied at him yester
day. They were contained in a broad
side that had been printed at the in
stance of someone who does not love
him, and were scattered over the
streets.
In large, glaring headlines the broad
side announces that it contains, “News
For the Public.” It continues:
“Only one county in Georgia that has
a Republican club that is doing any
effective work. Think of it. The Re
publican leaders in Georgia for the last
twenty years have done nothing to set
a, prestige, but sending delegates to
the National Convention. Think of it.
A man who would stay secretary of the
Republican State Central Committee
for nearly a quarter of a century, have
a newspaper of his own and through
whose endorsement millions of dollars
are paid to office holders and yet
there is not enough money in the
treasury.
"No campaign to make a prestige
that the party is filled with vitality
and energy. There is thousands of
white Democrats in Georgia who would
come into the Republican party for the
benefit of their family. This has been
proven in 1896 and 1900, but on account
of the lack of active work with some
of the present officers, the life is kept
out of the party.
"Any one can see from a glance that
John H. Deveaux, Secretary of the
State Central Committee, is only kept
there by unfair ballot and not to the
will of the Republican party in Geor
gia. First, He has not done his duty.
Second, He having failed for the time
that he has been there shows incom
petency. Third, In the way he is kept
in as Secretary of the State Central
Committee shows he is unpopular with
the people. Fourth, As secre
tary of the said committee, he
finds out if the delegate is aginast
him before he goes to Atlanta to elect
state officers and national delegates
from the state at large, and if the del
egate he knows would oppose his elec
tion as secretary, he at once seeks to
get another representative who be can
control. Fifth. When a man is al
ready in office and will seek these pro
modious ideas to stay in, showing he
is afraid of the will of the people.
“We only say watch the signs of the
times. Whenever a good man dies there
is another born. The brain of Georgia
in the G. O. P. must be heard, if not
the earth will shake and stone build
ings will fall a crumber to the earth.”
Some of the words in the last para
graph of the broadside are a bit un
usual, and some of the statements it
makes a trifle vague and difficult of
comprehension. It is evident, however,
that the prophet is endeavoring to pre
dict that unless there is an immediate
amendment to the ways of the present
collector this section of the state will
be visited by seismic disturbances, in
comparison with which the storm pre
dicted by Prof. DeVoe would appear as
a mild zephyr on a summer's day or
be “as moonlight unto sunlight, as wa
ter unto wine." ,
A CURIOSITY IN ROCKS.
A Feoollar Rook Formnilon at Op
penhelm, Slont & Co’s. Store.
At the store of Oppenhelmer, Sloat &
Cos., 12 Broughton, east, is a peculiar
specimen of rock which nobody has
yet been able to name.
It was lacked up at Beach Hammock
and brought to Mr Jacob Gardner,
manager of the store, who is one of
the best posted man in Savannah on
“curios.”
He is unable, however, to name the
specimen.
It is a grayish color and has the ap
pearance of a sponge, or of petrified
sea foam, if such thing there Is. It is
very light and has a sulphurous odor.
It has been suggested also that it is
petrified froth or skimming from a tur
oentine still. The bottom of the speci
men is black like pitch.
The piece has attracted a great deal
of attention and will doubtless find
somebody who can name It, soon.

SITE OF SOUTHERN STATES FERTI
LIZER WORKS DECIDED ON.
WORK WILL BEGIN AT ONCE.
FRANK SCREVEN TO RE SUPERIN
TENDENT OF W ORKS.
The Plant Will Have a Wharf Front
and Will Connect With the Plant
System Tracks The Factory to
Hove n Capacity of 30,000 to 40,-
000 Tons of Fertiliser—Rook From
the Pon Pon Beils Will Be Used.
Capitalists Interested in the En
terprise.
The erection of the new fertiliser
factory, which Augusta capital, as
sisted by some from Savannah, is soon
to erect in this city, will begin shortly.
The factory will be erected near Bru
ton Hill, east of the terminals of the
Plant System, by the Southern States
Phosphate and Fertilizer Company of
Augusta.
It is proposed to place the factory
near the river and close to the Plant
System tracks, near enough at any
rat* to make a connection by means
of a spur easily practicable. This will
give the new factory the beenflt of ad
mirable water and railway connections.
Mr. J. A. G. Carson, Mr. A. S. Gucken
heimer, and Mr. Frank Screven are the
principal Savannah stockholders in the
new enterprise.
Mr. gcreven has been made superin
tendent of the company and will be in
charge of its works when they are
completed. It is anticipated that the
building will be finished, the plant in
stalled and some fertilizers manufac
tured in time for the fall trade. Pope
& Fleming, a leading Augusta firm of
cotton and fertilizer men, are at the
head of the enterprise and will be its
executive officers.
The other incorporators outside of
Savannah are J. M. Berry, George R.
Lombard, Joseph Day and Thomas
Barrett, Jr., of Augusta; E. R. Hodg
son of Athens, T. M. Green of Wash
ington, and R. C. Neely of Waynes
boro.
Stock in the company has been sold
largely among the country merchants
who handle fertilizers, and it is believ
ed that as they are themselves inter
ested in the profits of the enterprise
they will do what they can to induce
large sales of the products of the new
factory. The plan upon which it is to
be operated has commended itself to
the business judgment and acumen of
the Savannah men who have gone into
it and they believe the investment will
be financially profitable.
The phosphate to be used in the fac
tory will be from extensive mines near
Pon Pon, S. C. The mines are said to
be some 4,000 acres in extent, the most
important in that section. The beds, it
is said, are the only ones in South Car
olina not under the control of the Vir
ginia-Carolina Chemical Company.
The erection of another fertilizer
plant will mean three in Savannah.
Two of large capacity have been op
erated for some years. That of the
Southern States Company will have a
capacity of from 30,000 to 40,000 tons.

holding forth at Bohan’s South End
pavilion, Tybee Island, and has given
perfect satisfaction to visitors to the
resort.
; Director Thomas Shaw is arranging
| a special programme, and the latest
selections will be rendered. Selections
will be played from the popular operas,

and probably a bicycle race. Other
sports will also be on the list, and a
game of baseball will be pulled off dur

CONTRACT FOR DECORATIONS.
A. Hauler Company to Improve In
terior of I’oalultlrr Ratldlng.
The contract for the repair and Im
provement of the United States post
office and court house has been award
ed by the Treasury Department to the
A. Hanley Company, whose bid for the
work was 12.500. The acceptance of
this bid was recommended by Post
master Doyle.
Arrangements are now being made
by the successful bidder to furnish the
bond required by the department and.
ns soon as these preliminaries have
been completed the date for the com
mencement of the work will be set.
It Is expected that this will be in the
near future.
The repairs to and improvements of
the interior of the Federal building
will be on an extensive scale. All the
walls and ceilings are to be handsome
ly tinted. This work was not dona
when the building was erected, because
it was thought better to leave It until
the foundations had had time to settle
and the various pieces of stone and
wood that went Into Its construction
to become acquainted and familiar
with each other.
With the improvements to be made
the walls and ceilings will be as hand
some as the woodwork and the other
decorations of the building and tha
’entire structure, interior and exterior,
the most imposing Federal building of
Its slxe in the country.
