TO GET DEEP WATER.
A PLAN TO Sow WHAT THE aAR-
BOR'S NEEDS ARE.

Great Interest Center!ng on Tuesdays
Confereace-A Suggestion that the
River and Hsrbor and Commerce
Committees Of Congress and the
Georgia Legislature be Invited to
Savannah to SEE the Commerce of
the Port end What is Needed for the
Hsrbor.
Ssvannahis commercial community Is
thoroughly aroused on the deep water pro-
iect, and Tuesdays conference will be a
most important meeting. The general SEN
timeut seems to DO in favor Of inviting the
river and harbor committee Of the House
and the commerce committee Of the Senate
to visit Savannah and make personal in
spection Of the harbor.
President D. G. Purse Of the board of
trade Is enthusiastic on the subject. THE
city )" he said, should not consider expense
in the matter of getting deeper water. l
don't mean shat there should be extrava-
gance, but the expense ought to be
secondary matter in such vital question.
Things have come to that point where we
must have a sufficient depth Of water 20
allow the entrance Of vessels Of any size
from any part Of the hsbitabls globe, OF
let the commerce which naturally belongs
u US go to some other port which has water
enough to let them take away profitable
oargoes.n
My idea" continued Capt Purse, lis TO
write the river and harbOr committee of the
House, the commerce committee of the
Senate, the congressman from adjoining
states, and the Georgia legislature and let
them see from personal observation the
commercial Importance of Savannah and
the necessity for tie money asked. The ex-
pense Of this gathering will be nothing COM
pared with the advantages which will ac-
crue TO the city"
"A bureau Of statistics" added Capt.
Purse, should be established and put in
charge Of competent man who will devote
his whole time and attention to the gather
ing and disseminating Of statistics, showing
the city's Importance and its claims for
harbor recognition upon the federal govern
menr. These figures should be sent to every
congressman and senator, and would, |
believe, have considerable weight.
The effect of the deepening of Savan-
nah's harbor would be tremendous in its
results. Our commerce would be doubled,
and our population largely increased. 1t is
matter which concerns the humblest
negro who works on our wharves as well as
the business man. Where there is now but
one days labor, there would be two under
the new order Of things. We would have
an increased population because there
would be work to support that population.

sAvANNAHIANs oUr OF TOWN.
Where Most of the People Are Coin g
fer the Summer.

Where Most of the People Are Coin g
fer the Summer.
More people have left Savannah this
summer for the summer resorts than ever
before. They are scattered all over the
country. One-fourth of them probably
went TO New York, from which city they
dispersed to other northern resorts. The
mountains of North and South Carolina
have secured about one fourth more.
The Georgia resorts have captured about
one-fourth Of Savannah's summer desert
erS, and the other fourth has scattered
from Florida to the lakes.
The Georgia resorts are being better
patronized every year. The tourists have
discovered that they are just as pleasant in
every respect as the mountain resorts Of the
Caroliuas, that the mountain air of Geor
gia is just as cool and invigorating
as the mountain air Of North Carolina, that
the water is Just as healthful and that
when it comes to mineral springs Georgia
probably has more than half dozen other
states put together.
Gainesville is probably the most popular
of the state resorts with Savannahians, and
there are number Of them there now
New Holland Springs, near Gainesville, has
a statewide reputation. Tallulah Falls, OF
course, are an unfailing source of
attraction, and "a number of Sa-
vannahiaus have gone there this
year. Marietta. though large town, has
claimed q number Of Savannahians.
Clarksville is one of the most popular with
Savannah people Of the Georgia resorts in
the whole upper portion Of the state, and T.
number Of Savannahians spend the summer
there regularly every year. Whits Sui
phur Springs have also received a number
of visitors from Savannah this year.
Catoosa springs, Cave springs and Toocoa
are also known to number of Savannah
people.
There are dozens of other smaller places
not put down on the map, and a few miles
off the railway where there are good hotels
and rest, comfort and peace are enjoyed.
Lsst, but not least, comes Tybee. Tybee
catches the crowd, aud may safely be said
to have more visitors than ill the other
Georgia resorts put together. Tybee is the
Georgia summer resort beyond doubt.
