Railroad M>’ “‘ ld Warehouse. st . Julian Street and Make l hem It Terminal for Cotton. ■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 terminal facilities and wharf front be low the cit;-. the LOUISE A SUCCESS. Copt. W. T.

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 rnangcij before she goes out on an ther trip.

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. CHATHAM* AGAINST CHARLESTONS. Colored Teams Will Play a Series of Five Ball Games.

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. a compliment at dinner last evening.

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. —Rather Busy.— Breaker “That young man you Introduced me to must he a millionaire the way he spends money.” Surfton—"Not at all; but you see he has to get rid of his year's salary at tS a week In five days' vaca tion."—Ohio Stats Journal. 19
