the Georgia Hussars.

This veteran organization was inspected
last night by Colonel John B. Baird. Adju-
tant General, under orders from His Excel
lency Governor Colquitt. The troop was
out in full force, and a large number OF
veterans and other friends assembled in the
drill room to witness the inspection. The
troop were drilled in the sabre manuel, and
IN this they elected the highest praise.
After partsking of the Inequalities Of the
Hussars, the company was formed, and,
with Colonel Baird, Colonies Anderson and
Estill, and Lieutenant Gaillard, proceeded
70 Gen a. r. Lawton's residence to compli
ment Mr.. and Mrs. A. r. Lawton, Jr., with
a serenade, where they were handsomely
entertained. From thence the command
and its guests proceeded 10 Lieut.. j. Fl.
JOhnstOn's, on CASTOR street, where another
round Of hospitality was rendered the
Hussars and their guests. The line was again
formed and the corps marched to the
residence Of their gallant commander, Capt
w. W. Gordon, who welcomed them in
manner worthy Of the occasion.
AT the close of this round of festivities
the Hussars escorted Colonel Baird to the
Marshall House, where 10 parting he thank
ed them warmly for the courtesies and at
tention shown him, and said that eff he
had 8 thousand lives, aud each lasted a
thousand years, he would never forget his
visit TO Savannah, and especially the marked
attention OF the Georgia Hussars."
The Blues Band, which had accompanied
the Hussars on their rounds, played several
airs, and the memorable evening was
brought To & close in the "wee sma' hours"
Colonel Baird's visit will long be remem
bered by the military OF the city, as thereby
an increased interest will be aroused among
the several companies, and also because Of
- ~ - IL
State volunteers.
Colonel Bairdis courteous and gentle
manly bearing has endeared him to sll who
had the pleasure Of meeting him, and the
general wish is that his official visits to the
Forest City will be more frequent.

The central railroad Elevator.

The above building has been completed,
and is now ready for the receipt Of grain.
1t occupies a position facing the Ocean
Steamship Company's dock, and from either
the river or the land presents the appear
ance of a massive structure, from the top
most openings Of which splendid view Of
the river and surrounding country is had.
The construction Of the building was begun
last June, the foundation being secured by
immense piles, upon which the superstruc-
ture rests.
The four elevators and the four convey
ors Of the grain are worked by two upright
shafts, which are driven by a one hundred
horse power engine of the William Wright
patent, built in Newburg, n. z. The grain
is delivered from the cars into two open
wells, at the bottom OF which the lifting
buckets work In boot, through which 1t is
elevated TO the bins. Six sets of Howe's
patent scales on the first 4 Dor do the weigh
ing of the grain, which by a very simple
continuance is transported by shoots either
to vessels lying st the wharf or
to land conveyances for Transports
ton. There are sixty-one bins, forty
for storage. The conveyors, which run
through the building its entire length,
are the first of the kind ever put up, and
are known as Chase's patent. An endless
screw of sheet iron attached to horizontal
shaft is driven by the machinery, and the
elevators deDosit the grain in the box, in
which It works when 1t is driven forward.
Opposite the storage bins this box has gates
which, by q simple contrivance, are opened
and the grain falls into the bin.
The advantage of this, especially in this
warm climate, where the grain is apt to be-
come heated, is that 1t can be continually
exposed to the action Of the air, and thus
prevent damage.
All the appointments are complete, and
the work put together In the most workman
| like manner, rejecting great credit upon
the architect and Superintendent, Mr..
Frank Devine, who has now charge Of the
company's wharYes as superintendent. The
novelty of the structure in this latitude has
attracted many visitors. The machinery
was not working when the representative
OF the News visited the structure yesterday,
but he learned that It would be put in OPP
Grafton during the coming week.
The improvements of the immediate sur
roundings of the elevator rendered neces-
/ sarY are being carried on rapidly. A rail-
road track runs directly through the elevator
to the wharf front, and by an ingenious con-
trivanee car or cars may be drawn along
the track by the turning of a crank on the
first floor OF the elevator. The land imme-
diatelv contiguous to the elevator is being
filed in, and a substantial platform has
been erected, extending from the roadway
leading to the steamship wharves to the
elevator.
The capacity Of the elevator, under fsvora-
Bile means for handling the grain, Is esti-
mated at 16, 900 bushels per hour.
