| best. Chairman J. Cooper Harris sent
kilograms to Mr.. c. G. Hanson, of the
Compress Co., Maj. H. c. Hanson
| president of the Central of Georgia
Railway, Vice President Barr, of the
Seaboard Air Line. H. c. Culp. of the
Southern and Mr.. Emerson of the
Atlantic Coast Line, advising them of
the situation and asked their assist
ance.
Mr.. Harrison received replies to his
kilograms to Maj. Hanson and Mr..
Hanson. The former said that he would
take the matter up Immediately, and
if the fault is with the Central he
would see to it that the proper steps
are taken to get the cotton to Savan-
nah on time.
Mr.. c. c. Hanson's telegram stated
emphatically that the delay is not the
fault of the congresses, but that he
would investigate the matter through
ly and see that everything is done to
hurry the cotton to port.
On the terminals only about half
the cotton is handled that could be
loaded in a day. If the cotton were
here night gangs would be put on
and the ships would soon be ready
The congresses at Dawson, Ameri-
Gus, Troy, Albany, brownsville, and
Cordele are all working, and it is an
unusual thing for them to get behind
on cotton. The average capacity OF
these presses is 140 bales per hour and
whenever they are behind it is Gus
tomary to work at night. With this
capacity. cotton men here say there
must be some other reason for the
blockade, either that the presses are
not operated regularly. or the rail-
roads are slow in handling the freight.
The sixteen ships now In port watt
ing for cotton are about half loaded,
and unless much faster time is made
from now until the last of September,
many of them will be on demurrage,
and exporters. brokers and factors
generally will suffer.
Mr. Harris said that he believes with
the steps that have been taken the
situation will be relieved immediate

Relief.
With sixteen ships in port waiting
for cotton for September delivery and
gangs working irregularly large demur-
rage charges are staring exporters and
brokers in the face.
A telegram from Mr.. C. c. Hanson,
of the Atlantic Compress Co., to Mr..
J. Cooper Harris, chairman of the
transportation committee of the Savan-
nah Cotton Exchange denies that there
in any delay in pressing cotton routed
for Savannah. .occasloned by the shut

With the large number Of vessels in

delivery is still out of sight, and in or
der to execute all September contracts
in time for sailing some records in
loading will have to be broken.
Letters from interior buyers to the
Cotton Exchange asked that some ef-
fort be made to relieve that situation.
1t was stated that nearly every COM
press in the state is now under the
control of the Atlantic Compress Co.,
and that those in the smaller towns
had been shut down. This was done,
it is said, to allow steady run for the
presses in the larger towns. Exporters
said that cotton which should have
been here week ago had not yet ar
rived, and they are in danger of loss
from failure to fill their September
sailing contracts. 1t is impossible TO
estimate the loss that would be entail
ed. This Of course would depend on
the amount Of cotton short, and the
length of time II was overdue.
The points where the greatest con-
gestions is reported are Americas, and
Dawson, Cordele and Thomasville. Ga.
and Troy Alabama. The presses at
these places are owned by the Atlantic
Compress Co.
At the special meeting Of the direc-
tors Of the Cotton Exchange yesterday
the transportation committee was in
structed to take such steps towards
relivering the situation as II thought

AT THE THEATER

''McFadden's Flats" with a num-
Der of new comic features, new songs,
and lively dances, was the attraction
yesterday, an attraction that, in spite
of it's numerous productions, does not
fail in popularity. The show was wit
messed by enthusiastic audiences, and
applause was given freely to the vari-
GUS absurdities and laughable episodes
of which the piece is made up. Sew
eral of the dances and songs were
heartily encored.
"McFaddens Flats" does not seem
to lose in freshness with age, and bids
fair to be still holding popular favor
for some seasons to come.
The role of Helen Blazes in "a Boy
Wanted" which will be seen to-mor-
row evening, is taken by Miss Maude
Jacoby, who was born in Savannah.
The performance is looked forward to
with much pleasure by her friends who
are preparing to give her cordial
welcome. 1t has been several years
since Miss Jacoby was last seen In
Savannah.
Human Hearts" which will be seen
Saturday matinee and night, fully IL
illustrates how much interesting dra-
matte material may be gathered by
an author, based on the actual hap
penings of life. The story of Human
Hearts" is almost true in every detail.
The incidents that form the plot are
we'll known, and are still food for gos-
sip in the community where they hap
pened. The author of the play met the
original Tom Logan several years ago,

THEY MANUFACTURE DOLLS.
Work Is Given Poverty Stricken
Peasants of Ireland.

Work Is Given Poverty Stricken
Peasants of Ireland.
In various, parts of Ireland
there are at the present moment
many undertakings which never
would have been entered upon but
for American money. The latest is
a doll factory situated at a place
called Stewartstown, close to the
banks of the Lough Neagh-thc
largest lake in Great Britain and
Ireland. The establishment of
this factory is due directly to the
enterprise of Mrs. Frances Rid
dell, who, when simple peasant
girl, emigrated to America Oyears
ago. She made money by invest
ment in real estate in the neigh
borhood of Chicago, and has now
returned to do something toward
alleviating the distress of her ma
tive country. With the assistance
of another American-Mr. F. Z.
Wall, of Cincinnati - she has
founded what is known as the Co
operative Home Industry society.
and the manufacture of dolls is the
first item in the programme. AL
ready a good start has been made,
and as many as 60 girls are finding
constant employment. The cap.
ital required was not much-some-
thing like $5,0OO-because all the
materials required can be found in
the immediate locality. Irish
products alone, both in the mod
els and the dressing, are to be
used. 1t is not intended to pro.
duce the stage Irishman or wom-
an, but to give an accurate rep
resentation of the native in a
faithful manner. Mrs. Riddell is
at present confining her efforts to
caltivating trade in the British
Isles, but she has hopes that in
time she will be able to do big
business with the United States.
The furnishing Of dolls houses will
occupy her attention later on.
