NEW TERMINALS OF OCEAN
STEAMSHIP COMPANY OPENED

The Times Recorder is in receipt OF
a booklet descriptive of the new ter
minals of the Ocean Steamship COM
pany just opened in Savannah.
The new terminal is without doubt
one of the largest and most complete
in this country, if not in the world, and
represent an outlay of approximately
$1,OO00OO. The improvements in
clude large dock and buildings, the
latter of steel construction and COM
prise the following: A northbound
freight shed; a southbound freight
shed; city delivery shed; headhouse
and Office building. Under the sheds
are II tracks, accommodating 225
freight cars. Five hoists are provided
for handling freight. The dock has
SOhSl CIC OluC eIl1u CIlu walls, GGO 1SCL
wide and 1920 feet long, with 26 feet
depth of water at low tide. The sheds
are of great capacity and the improve
ments in their entirety cover an area
of about 20 acres, and is equal to about
fourteen city blocks.
The construction of these splendid
terminal facilities are in keeping with
the policy always maintained by the
company that of keeping up the pres
tige of Savannah as one of the great
est maritime ports in the world, and
as Savannah grows, so does the Ocean
Steamship company grow and keep
step with her advancing prosperity.

RELATED TOURISTS CAN
EAT At CONVICT CAMPS

ATLANTA, Ca, June 3.-If an auto
mobile tourist gets caught between
towns at meal time in Georgia, and II
there happens to be convict camp
near around, let the tourist Danish
worry from his mind and hike for the
camp, for there he will find ration OF
peas, pork, cornbread and butter milk
(the latter if he's lucky that will
satisfy his appetite and send him hap
py on his journey.
A party of Missourians stopping
over in Atlanta yesterday on their re-
turn trip from tour of the south were
highly enthusiastic over the hospital
ity accorded them at convict camp
ir south Georgia when meal time
caught them long way from the
nearest hotel. They declared they new
er tasted better food in their lives.

.AMERICUS PEOPLE TO HELP
ARMENIAN SUFFERERS

Suffering of the Armenians are to
be alleviated by the people of Ameri-
Gus. Contribution boxes for this pur-
pose have been placed throughout the
city, mainly in the drug stores. In
these boxes you are asked to place
your contributions, which will go to
tighten the hardships and sufferings
of these unfortunate and war-cursed
people.
Through the military operations in
Armenia the people have been made to
suffer untold misery and want.
The people of the United States
never fail to feel for those who are
made to suffer and especially when
they are the result of outrages perpe-
trated upon an inoffensive people, as
is the case with Armenia.
Therefore, whatever amount the
people of Americas give to aid these
unfortunate people will be in a noble
cause, and it is hoped everyone will
be as liberal as possible.
Funds received in this way will be
handled by responsible parties and
forwarded to the Armenian Relief
headquarters in New York, and thence
transmitted to the needy sufferers in
Armenia.
The Times-Recorder commends the
good people of Americas in this labor
of love for humanity and trusts that
the response to this appeal at their
hands will be most liberal.
