WANTS MAI. GERLACH ..n
APPOINTED INSPECTOR
Governor Asks Secretary of War to
Name Veteran for the Office.

The. secretary of war has been re-
quested by Gov. Van SAINT to- appoint
Maj. William Gerlach, who recently re-
tired from the regular army, as in
spector, of the Minnesota national
guard; under the Dick bill recently
passed by congress. 80: ..-.u
The law requires that the secretary
of war shall appoint an Inspector for
each state, and upon the report of this
official the government may issue arms
and accoutrements for the national
guard 1,' p.
Maj. Gerlach is eminently fitted for
the position, but there has been some
objection, owing to his age. the feeling
being among some of the officers Of the
guard that a younger man and one
who participated in the Spanish Amer
lean war shouldlbe named for the place.

SAVANNAH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

the Chamber of Commerce was the de-
sire among all classes of citizens to
give an impetus to the general growth
of Savannah, which could be done best
through the instrumentality of such
body, comprised of wise executive
heads and committees we'll able to con-
slider and act upon the subjects of pub
lie interest referred to them.
So well has the Chamber of Com
merce been managed that the early
fears in some quarters of the possibili-
ty of it's stepping upon the toes" of
other trade bodies has not been real
lied; on the contrary, its course has
been such as to bring to it the hearty
cooperation of other trade bodies, who
have shown thorough willingness to
work with the Chamber of Commerce
in the accomplishment of it's purposes.
Since it's machinery has been put in
working order, the work of the
chamber has been entirely salts

dence is expressed in it's future.

ty-six members, from whom are chosen
its officers.
Although the chamber is practically
an infant organization the city is al
ready feeling the effects of its work in
looking after the promotion of its in
terests. From all directions come let
tiers presenting matters of Importance
for the consideration of its directors
and to all directions go letters and
advertising matter calling attention to
its resources, advantages and opportu-
mites.
The Chamber of Commerce is located
in the Southern Bank building, on Bull,
st. Julian and Bryan streets, facing
the east side of Johnson Square. The
rooms are commodiously fitted up for
the comfort of it's members and the
proper conduct of it's business.
This new commercial and business
body promises to have a most success

this service and will gladly answer all
such inquiries.

SAvANNAH'S INDUSTRIES.
Progressiveness Marks the Years
Operations.

Operations.
From a manufacturing standpoint.
Savannah has made great strides dur
ing the year. Standing on the balcony
of the Cotton Exchange, one may see
great volumes of smoke flowing in all
directions from the plants above the
city and below. Many of the industries
are located along the river from the
Atlantic Coast Line wharves. east, and
from West Broad street to the west.
New plants have been established in
the manufacturing district above the
city, and the old plants have largely in
creased their business. The Southern
Cotton Oil Company, employs hundreds
of men at it's immense plant, and has
done a thriving business during The
year. The Mill Haven Company, MAX
ers of baskets and woodenware. the "A.
S. Bacon & Sons lumber mill, the Mu-
tual Fertilizer Works, the rice mills,
the different oil mills and other manu-
facturers have continued actively, OPP
Grating throughout the year all their
plants. That section seems to be very
promising as a center for factories, as
all the advantages are Win IL, Suct as
increased wharf facilities and better
roadways to the steamship terminals.
The harbor has been dug to twenty
eight feet up there so that the largest
steamships may go up and load and
return.
Below the city are the fertilizer
works, including the Southern Fertilizer
and Phosphate Company and the Sa-
vannah Guano Company, both of which
turn out a very large output. II Is
predicted that within the next year or
so manufacturing plants viii be on

SAVANNAH WATER SUPPLY.
No Reason 10 Ever Fear n Local
Famine.


Savannah has an excellent water
system with an unlimited supply. The
water comes from a system of arte-
sian wells, and possesses no pronounce
ed injurious properties. A prominent
citizen recently consulted a physician
as to the water here, and was told
by him that no city in the country
has any better water.
Fears are expressed now and then
about the artesian wells giving out
and some apprehend that in this event
the city would have a water famine.
Those IN a position TO know do not
treat the possibility Of a shut-off in the
water supply seriously. II such ca
lamity were TO come as the result Of
an earthquake or other natural cause,
the city could IN a short while fall
back upon the old system OF pump
Ing water from the Savannah river.
The station on the city property above

kept IN working order, and II Il were
necessary 20 fail back on the river,
the boilers could be fred up and the

certainly before famine could get

SAVANNAH REAL ESTATE.
Record Year for New Homes and
City's Growth.


City's Growth.
For many years, and in very mark
ed degree in the past five or six years,
the development of the southern or
residential section of Savannah has
been little less than wonderful. Home
seekers have built their houses in
helds and in a short time have found
themselves surrounded by neigh5ors,
and in the midst of city convenienees.
Real estate men say that the year just
closed, all things considered, is a rec
ord breaker.
Dealings in land have been upon
very satisfactory scale, and the year
closed with a number of large trans
actions recorded, and a larger number
Of small transactions. The large num-
Der of small transactions gives signif-
canoe to the fact that Savannah is
upon solid basis; that it's develop
ment is the result of buyers becoming
homeseekers, and not spectators, and
therefore lasting benefit in the end
is most assured.
1t cannot be said that Savannah
lands sell cheap. AS a general thing
The prices commanded have been very
profitable to land holders, but at the
same time they have been able to
give purchasers land which had prac-
ucally an assured future value, bar

troll. A remarkable pride has been

The steamship lines have shown
their usual progressiveness during the
year, which closed with port and inte-
rior business well cared for by such
additions to the fleet and provisions of
such port facilities as were necessary.
The Merchants and Miners Transpor-
tation Company rounds out a most
successful year; one that may be con-
sidered the best, if not the best, in the
history of its operations in Savannah
This company's ships have come and
gone we'll loaded with both freight and

Work of Chamber of Commerce.
A member of the Chamber of Com
merce counted sixteen handsome
homes which were built during the
year within 300 feet of his residence.
Evidence of growth are equally mark
ed in other neighborhoods of the south
side.
More attention to land suitable to
manufacturing purposes has been given
the past year than heretofore as the
result of the agitation of establishing
industries in Savannah. Available
lands have been sought out, their ad-
vantages weighed and other data OBJ
tanned for prospective investors. In
this line of work the Savannah CHAM
