days, the guest Of his sister, Mrs. ].
M. Brian. He Is q native OF York
county and grew to young manhood In
Yorkville, but went to Savannah many
years ago where he became steve
dore, and Is now in the employ OF the
Merchants and Miners line. He talks
quite Interestingly Of his work and OF
Savannah which he says Is now third
In Importance Of all southern ports,
New Orleans ranking first and Calves
ton, second Savannah, he says, Is the
greatest port in the world for naval
stores. and Of course everybody knows
exported from there. At this time,
however, business Is very dull as COM
pared with normal seasons, and 1t has
been so since the breaking out OF the
war. Several German steamships are
interned at the port and many large
coastwise steamers are living idle for
lack of business. The business Of the
stevedore Is to superintend the load
ing and unloading OF ships. In Loading
he takes instructions from the captain
of the ship as how his vessel is to lay
in the water after the cargo has been
put aboard-how much water the ves-
sci is to draw, and how much drag
there Is to be astern. II Is up to the
stevedore to put the freight in 80 these
requirements will be compiled with
and so there will be no listing and no
danger Of q shifting Of the cargo In
rough weather After the loading OF
the cargo the stevedore prepares q
chart showing where the different
items Of freight are to be found, so as
to facilitate in loading in whole or in
part. Capt. Bell is fond Of his work
and sticks to 1t closely. He has made
but few visits to Yorkville since he be-
came permanently established in Sa-
vannah and says he would hardly be
here now except for the fact that he
was badly shaken up as the result Of
fall sustained recently. and being
unable to work, he decided to run up
and see the relatives and friends In
York He is the youngest SON Of the
late Thos. J. Bell. Esq. - s5,S-s-7 .
