SAVANNAH, Aug. 30.—The War Department is engaged in a unique occupation at Fort Screven. It is moving the buildings from an aban doned fort to the Tybee Island reser 4 - vation and setting them up again. The abandonment of Fort Fremont, in South Carolina, is actively under way. The movement of the Govern* ment buildings from one reservation to another across several miles of water and then setting them up again is an interesting process. As long ago as March, 1911, a small detachment, in charge of a sergeant, was sent to Fort Fremont to look after the post until the department decided to abandon it entirely. When this order was received Colonel Phil lips, then at Fort Screven, withdrew the detachment, and the post was put in charge of the quartermaster’s de partment, who placed a civilian care taker in charge. Things went along under his care until it could be decided what to do with the buildings and guns, which latter consisted of two 10-inch dis appearing, and three 4.7 rapid-fire guns. There were also a large num ber of mines to protect the mouth of Beaufort River, Port Royal Navy Yard and Port Royal Sound. It was finally decided to transfer as much stuff to Fort Screven as could possi bly be moved. The post consisted of six sets of officers’ quarters, largo quarters for enlisted men. mess hall, quartermas ter commis.sary and ordnance store houses, several sets of quarters for non-commissioned officers, a large hospital, power plant, pumphouse and several large buildings used for store houses. Many of these buildings were com-, paratlvely new. A scheme was put on foot to float the buildings to Fort Screven with scows and the steamer Jackson. It was finally decided to tear the buildings down and rebuild them again. An architect was sent to Fort Screven to superintend the work. As soon as a building is demolished the steamer Jackson is sent over to get the material and transport it to Fort Screven. The Fort Screven reservation cov ers over 270 acres. There are now 100 buildings on the reservation, hardly enough to cover the needs of post personnel. One small building will be left at Fort Fremont for the caretaker to live in. and this will probably be the only marker on the site of the old fort, once a scene of great military activity.

He will be Deputy Sheriff George J. Conners, who will be succeeded by I. Victor. Deputy Thomas C. Murphy is an appointee of Judge Walter C. Charl ton, of the Superior Court. His po sition is not affected by the coming in of a new Sheriff. There will be a general shake-up at the County Jail. Arnold Seyden, who has been the jailer for a number of years, is slated to retire, and W. M. Kidwell will succeed him. W. J. Titzpatrick will be succeeded by Dun Woods as turnkey. Gabriel M. Cohen and W. M. Smith, guards at the jail, will retain their jobs, while Guards Brown, Leonard and Meyer are due to lose out. The new men for their places are A. R. Fulford, Frank Mc Dermott, Nicholas J. Frazelle and James McGuire. None of th<' county officers will re side at the jail after this month. That part of the southern wing of the building now occupied by the family of one of the officers will be converted into ho^ital wards, and the upper stories will be fixed up for cells for women and prisoners that are not charged with serious offenses. Colonel Dixon became Sheriff about the middle of the month, but he was not inclined to disturb any of the men under him at once, as they are em ployed by the month. ALL DENTAL WORK GUARANTEED AT . 6.
