FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
For the Privilege of Buying Acid Of
the Sulphur Acid Co.

For the Privilege of Buying Acid Of
the Sulphur Acid Co.
There was IL very interesting meet
ing of fertilizer men from Virginia
and North Carolina ut Blacksburg last
week. Negotiations were begun look
ing to the formation ola new company
to be known as the Southern Chemical
Fertilizer Company and this new COM
pany consisting of about eight other
companies, with capital of about one
and half or two million dollars, are
ANXIOUS to buy from the Durham Fer
tilizer Company a lease or option that
the latter company had on the entire
acid output of the Sulphuric Acid Com
pany of Blacksburg, for the next fifteen
years. Fifty thousand dollars is the
amount that the Durham people have
asked for this contract with the acid
company. This, Of course, is simply
for the contract for the output at q
certain price per ton, and in addition
to this fifty thousand dollars they are
to pay for the acid at the same price as
the Durham people.
The Durham Fertilizer Company
has partially erected n fertilizer plant
Mt BIacksburg, and will soon begin op-
Grafton It seems that tile South Car
olina Sulphuric Acid Company stands
very high in the estimation of the fer
tilizer people when they are willing to
pay fifty thousand dollars for the
privilege Of buying their acid.

An Important Discovery.

An Austrian student. Herr Low. who
has been travelling in Central Ameri
ca. has recently obtained and forward
ed to the Imperial Museum in Vienna
twelve large stone slabs bearing foot
prints in the solid rock. taken from the
quarry over Lake Managua, in the ter
ritory of Nicaragua.
These footprints had been overlain
by eleven different layers Of stone, ex-
tending to a depth of four meters, and
Indicating an antiquity for our race
quite transcending all conjectures hith
erto hazarded. They are about three
quarters of 4 meter square, and are
sunk into the stone to depth of from
eight to ten centimeters. The foot
prints are said to be very conspicuous,
and seem to be those Of three different
persons, one of whom was child. To
what race or what age they belonged
no one yet has ventured to guess.

women of the right to vote in school dis
trict meetings.

Accidental Poisoning.

Many articles Of food become poison
Gus under certain conditions. The po-
tato should not be eaten when it has
commenced to germinate, or when it Is
green from having been partly exposed
to the air while growing. The green
parts and the "eyes" contain an un-
doubted poison, which has a sharp
taste, and Is capable Of producing par
aIysis or even death. Mushrooms
should always be carefully verified by
a person thoroughly acquainted with
their peculiarities. All animal food in
an advanced state Of decomposition is
more or less poisonous; for this reason
timed fish is never to be trusted, as
the fish are often stale when timed.
Mussels. again, are always poisonous.
although the seat and nature of the
poison has never been discovered.
