a QUARTER OF A MILLION.
COST OF THE CENTRAL's WHARF
IMPROVEMENTS.

The New Cotton shed to Cost $4,000.
1t VIII Have a Storage Capacity of
10000 BaIes-The Spirits Shed to
BE the Largest On the River-Near-
ly n Third of n Mile of Storage
Sheds on the New Wharf.
A quarter of a million dollars is what
the Central of Georgia Railway Company
will have spent upon improvements on its
terminal in Savannah by the time they
have been completed. The work has been
in progress now for about a year, and
within few months more 1t is probable
the last nail will have been driven.
Work has just begun upon some of the
most important and expensive of these
rev features. the cotton shed that will
stand on the eastern side, and the spirits
of turpentine shed that will stand on the
western side of the new slip now being
cut just to the west of the ocean Steam
ship Wharves.
The new cotton shed will be an immense
structure, $40 feet long by 800 feet wide
and with a capacity of about 10000 bales.
1t will be divided by brick partitions into
four compartments, and will be made as
near fire proof as Ii is possible to make it,
The ptling which will furnish part of the
foundation for this structure is now beinL
driven, work on the new slip having ad-
vanced far enough to permit of this be-
ing done. Railroad tracks will run
through the cotton shed as well as on the
side of it, and there will be every modern
facility for looking after the cotton stored
there as well as for putting it into the
ships. The cost of this new shed COM
pleted will be $4,000
Just across from this on the other side
of the slip will be the spirits shed. This
shed will be less costly than that to be
provided for the cotton, since a less ex-
pensive storage house is required. This
shed will be $40 feet long by go feet wide
and will furnish storage room for many
thousand barrels of spirits. Both of
these sheds will be ready to handle next
seasons business. Both will be as near
fire proof as it is possible to make them
and every precautionary appliance will be
at hand. The sheds would have been com
pleted much earlier, and in time to have
handled a part of the present seasons
business had it not been for the delay in
some of the other work.
When the improvements at the wharves
were first begun 1t was estimated that
they would cost somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $3.50, 600. This included filling
in the large area back of the Central
wharves, cutting the new slip and other
improvements. 1t seems, however, that
the plans have been extended beyond what
was first contemplated and the total ex-
pense will now reach about $4,000. These
improvements, however, will put the
wharves in condition and afford facili-
ties for the handling of all business for
many years to come. The changes in the
Ocean Steamship wharves have greatly
facilitated the handling of the business
carried by the steamers, and they are now
loaded and unloaded quicker than ever be-
fore There is little doubt that this ter
minal property, when the work is COM
pleted, will be unequalled anywhere in the
country.

Deaths face is not pleasant thing to
look upon, yet thousands of men and wo-
men go about daily with the reflection of
death in their faces. The dull ewes. the
sallow complexion, the sunken cheeks, the

sidious advances of that implacable foe
consumption. Doctors have declared that
consumption is iucurable 1t is not. Thou
sands of consumptives have testified to
their complete recovery after they were
given up by the doctors and all hope was
gone. 1t is simply matter of going to the
