seventy-seven years ago next Tuesday
the first steamship to cross the Atlantic
sailed from Savannah. There are propa-
bly, few people now living who remember
that event.
If those who saw the Savannah" as
she steamed down the river to begin her
long and uncertain voyage. could have
looked into the future three-quarters Of
a century and seen the splendid steam
ships that now enter and depart from the
Savannah harbor, they would have mar
yelled at the science Of navigation more
than they did at the wonderful enterprise
that the successful voyage of the "Sa-
vannah" inaugurated.
Last year over 500 steamships arrived
and departed from Savannah, with a car
rying tonnage Of over 10000 tons, and
handling a commerce vast in its volume
and value.
Steam first came into use as a factor in
Savannah's commerce in 1917. The first
regular steamboat line was between Sa-
vannah and Charleston. Oae Of the early
lines was between Savannah and Au-
gusta
But 1919 was the eventful year in Sa-
vannah's commercial history. Steam nav
igatiOn OF the ocean was then demonstrate
ed to be not only possible, but practicable

is serving his third year in the supreme
council IS representative, he being one of
council He Is secretary of the largest
subordinate council of the order (NeW
York 34S) which numbers over 2 600 men,
bers. II is thus larger than quite a number
of grand council jurisdictions, as North
Carolina, Iowa, Rhode Island, and until
recently, Minnesota. Mr. Caulheld is a
quiet appearing man, but, nevertheless has
large amount of force behind his mild
exterior. He occupies a confidential posi-
ton in the large wholesale house of
Sweetser, Pembroke & Co., with the IA
nous F. b. Dale.
The other New York city representative,
Mr.. A. II. Fitzpatrick, like Mr.. Cauhfield,
holds an important position with a large
wholesale house, Gilbert Manufacturing
Company. He is past regent of another
mammoth council, in New York city, "our
No. 252," which now numbers some 600
members. He is very popular with the
memberships.
J. +. Price the new representative from
New York this year, is a record breaker,
as for three years he has held the post of
grand regent in this strong jurisdiction,
against all corners, his activity, his per-
sonal magnetism and his suave manners,
having made him of untold value and
strength to the state. He was formerly in
the manufacturing business in Brooklyn,
but now is with the American Service Un-
ion of New York city.
