TO GET FACTORIES
FOR SAVANNAH
One of the Chief Purposes of the Chamber of
Commerce
Commerce.

What Savannah needs to increase its
population and Importance, and for that
matter what it needs for it's general
growth and prosperity is manufacto-
ries. This is the view taken by gen.
tlemen of widely divergent professions.
To secure manufactures of all sorts,
preferably small ones, should be, they
think, the object to which the Cham
Der of Commerce should devote its
first and strongest efforts.
President John NJ. Egan of the Cen
trail of Georgia gave an in
teresting talk yesterday on what
cen be done and what he con-
siders should be done by the Cham
Der of Commerce for the city. 1.-THE
tourist trade is in many cases valuable
financially" he said, but it must be
remembered that this business lasts
but a small part of the year. What
Savannah needs is manufacturing en-
terprises, plenty of them and of a
great variety.
mo matter how small plant may
be it should not be looked down on or
treated as of little Importance for many
of these, small individually, but strong
collectively, make large part of the
be remembered that strong oaks from
little acorns grow
Should Have Canneries.
Savannah is geographically located
to demand a large trade Of the South.
The city ought to lend aid to persons
who will start industries and enter
prises of any sort. Savannah is also
the center of the garden truck pro-
duction, and as such ought to have
canning factories to can the vegeta-
bles, fruits and berries that are grown
in the vicinity. This does not mean
that the whole output should be can
ned, but that it would be profitable
for all concerned to can such part OF
the products Of the farms as may be
either too ripe for shipment to other
markets, or which 1t would be I'M
profitable to ship because of glutted
market and consequent low prices.
Great quantities of strawberries,
berries of other kinds, fruit, especially
figs, and even the Georgia yam should
be canned or Jared, and if so, should
find a ready sale at profitable prices.
Georgia-grown figs are preserved In
Georgia cane syrup and sold here, but
the business should be, and can be,
largely developed, and at a profit.
Manufactures of Wood.
Again, Savannah is the center OF
the lumber trade, and here should be
manufactured all sorts of articles made
OF wood, such as desks, book cases,
Showcases, furniture OF all kinds, and
coffins. All OF these articles should
be made here and sold in this terri
tory. We are now shipping our lum-
Der 10 points as far north as Northern
Illinois and Iowa, where Il is used for
the manufacture OF just such things.
"All OF these things might be done
al Savannah, for while they might
not pay big dividends AZ first, eyentu-
ally they will be- able successfully 20
compete with similar plants an the
country over.

George Vanderbilt has planted a fine
garden of the root at Baltimore. Two
farmers in Ohio raised on one-third of
an acre crop that brought $4,000. A
farmer Of this state who had been
raising cabbage at 50 a ton drove into
town with a small buggy load of gin
seng for which he got $1,000. There

can afford IL use ginseng. The mystery
OF the root is its wide variation In
price. While some sells readily at 81
a pound, there are species that brina
500 an ounce. Consul Wildman says
he has seen Mandarin ginseng that
was worth 1876 times its own weight In
silver. The regular price is from $50 20

RECEIVER RUMOR
Statement Utterly Dlscredited
by the Passenger and .

The rumor that receiver for the Wiz.
ginia Passenger and Power Company is
probable at tho instance OF Mr.. George
p. Fisher. Is said to be groundless by
officials OF the company who would be II,

move as decidedly remote, and look upon
tho rumor as ridiculous
That rumor Is not founded on fact
SO far as I have been able to ascertain.

stated that recelvcrship for the Pasecn

The official continued by saying that
tho affairs Of tho company under the re-
slme Of Mr.. Frank ], Gould have pros
percd remarkably. numbers OF old debts
having been wiped out The concern, il
Is claimed, was mover In q more solvent
condition than at present. and there
absolutely no need OF carrying the az
fairs into the courts,
It was further stated that even if an
attempt was made to have receiver
appointed the effort would meet with a
night from the company. as result OF
lowed IN court. The simple good showing
OF tho present financial condition OF the
concern. II Is alleged. would be sufficient
to defeat any attempt to have receiver
appointed.
WHAT is CLAIMED.
IT Is claimed that Mr. Fishcrs idea In
undertaking tho fight Is to force pay
mem to him by Mr., Gould OF certain
sums of money expended by him whilo ne
was yet interested lnltte company. 1t Is
alleged that Mr.. Gould has turned loose
many thousands OF dollars IN Richmond
since acquiring control OF the street rnilv
road property, but none OF this money
has gone towards reImbursing Mr., tlsha,
for his outlay In protecting the Interest
OF the concern,
