CHEERS FOR FRED DUoaLAss
Two Thousand Colored People Meet
Him at the Depot.

Two Thousand Colored People Meet
Him at the Depot.
Over 1000 colored people crowded into
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way passenger shed and filed all three of
the platforms to see Fred Douglass, who
came in on the 6:41 Charleston train yester-
day morning. Forty members of the diff
ferent colored military companies, headed
by the Chatham's drum corps
marched from South Broad and Price
streets to the depot and took a position
on the middle platform, where thy met
their distinguished visitor. Capt Simmons, s,
Capt. Jones and Adjt. Desverney were ap-
pointed committee to receive Mr.. Doug
lass, and introduce him to the military.
The train rolled into the shed on time,
and cheer after cheer went up from the
1900 throats. Mr.. Douglass was taken
unawares. He did not know that
any demonstration was going to be made,
since the telegram sent him from Savan-
nah did not reach him at Washington, and
he could not be communicated with en-
route. He occupied a Pullman car in the
rear of the train and when it came to a
standstill, his eager admirers clam mbered on
the front steps Of the car to get glimpse
of him. The committee waited at
the rear Of the car, and met
Mr. Douglass as he came out. He got off
on the west slde OF t0e car, DuC was escorted
around to thu middle platform where he
was presented to the military. Each mem
ber came forward and shook hands with
him. Repeated calls were made for
Douglass, but he declined to speak, saying
that his trip had considerably fatigued
him and he begged to be excused. A large
number shook hands with him before the
train left
Capt Simmons asked Mr.. Douglass if he
could not arrange to pay Savannah visit
on his return trip to Washington Tuesday.
Mr. Douglass replied that he thought his
business would preclude the possibility of a
stop-over here, but il there is a remote posi-
bility of remaining over in Savannah day,
he will gladly do so. If the
committee should succeed in getting Mr..
Douglass to stop over on his way back, il
is likely that he will lecture at the theater
the night he is in the city.

SYndicates Forming.

The fact that during the coming week
there will be two sales of lots in the south
ern section, seems to have created quite a
stir in the community. 1t seems to be ac-
cepted as a foregone conclusion that we are
not only secure IN having two new rail
roads here, the property Of our own people,
but also that our citizens are determined
to have the navy yard.
Any of these enterprises, added TO the
elene Of great future now existing,
would be enough to create a stir which
would have its effect in the real estate mar
ket. The certainty, however, of all these
is causing even some Of our old fogieS to do
sire to increase their investments in Savan.
nah real estate.
There are runors of the formation Of
syndicates for different purposes, and to-
day the rumor of large real estate trans
action is heard on the street.
The general nature of this feeling is shown
by the fact that young men, clerks, porters
and others, taking advantage OF the small
cash payments now required for real estate
purchases, are combining TO secure lots, the
eaturo of monthly payments, being re-
garded by them as better tlan savings
banks, because real estate in Savannah has
never failed TO pay many times more per
annum than 4 4per cent.
TO possess land Is q laudable ambition,
and it may be regarded as a healthful indi
cation when our young men show anxiety
to become owners Of land. 1t is the begin
ming Of the formation Of habits Of saving,
ard the desire to accumulate that means
death to extravaganza and incorporate
habits.
We say, by all means encourage this
inclination. Nothing better can be done by
young man than to show his confidence
ia the future Of our city by putting his saw
ings il her real estate.
