COMPANY REBUILDS
AMERICUS PLANT,
Larger and Better Than Before the
Fire.
CAPACITY WILL BE INCREASED.
President Morgan of Virginia Carroll
ma Company Says Plants at Amer1-
Gus and Albany Will be Operated
Shortly.

It is with great deal of pleasure
The Times Recorder informs TIE cit
liens of Americas that the Virginia
Carolina Chemical Company will short
ly resume the operation of its splendid
plant in Americus as well as that at
Albany, both of which have been clos
ed down for some time.
And not only will the plants be OPP
Grated, but the capacity of the acid
chamber of each plant will be increased
so per cent, thus increasing the output
of fertilizers to be manufactured.
This information comes to The
Times Recorder direct from President
s. T. Morgan.
On last Friday, 14th. inst, The
Times Recorder referred in local ar
ticIe to the company's plant here, stat
ing that in the event the Virginia
Carolina Co. should ultimately deter
mine not to rebuild that portion of its
plant destroyed by fire, and abandoned
this field, local company would be
organized.
Inasmuch as the Virginia -Oarolins
Co. was on the ground, its pleasure in
the matter would be awaited for q
time.
And now comes the very gratifying
information, conveyed in letter from
President Morgan, that 1t is the pur'
pose of his great company to rebuild
the destroyed acid chambers here as
soon as possible; that the company
proposes to increase their capacity
fifty per cent. above former dimen-
sions, and build them in the latest and
most improved style besides.
The fertilizer plant here was not de-
stroyed by fire and, President Morgan
writes, will be in full operation this
season
The large plant at Albany, likewise
owned by the Virginia Carolina Co.
and which recently has been closed
down, will be operated also this season
to it's full capacity. The acid cham
bers there will be enlarged 80 per cent.
The company's construction depart
ment, President Morgan states, is now
engaged IN repairing and rebuilding
plants at one or two other points, and
when this is finished the working force
will begin the rebuilding of the Amer
icus plant and later on the repairs up
on the plant at Albany.
This will indeed be gratifying intel
ligence to our citizens, as well as t.
those of Albany.
President Morgan writes that hi
company is led to make this statement
from the fact that he had before heard
it rumored that these planus would no
again be operated. He gives the as
surance that, upon the other hand,
both plants will be operated upon q
larger scale than ever before, and tina
very shortly.
"We believe the local and nearby
trade around both of these cities II
amply sufficient to maintain plant
and it is our purpose to give them boil
first class, up-to-date establishments,
writes President Morgan.
The Americas plant has capacity o
ten thousand tons, as has the Albany
plant, and affords employment to
large number of employees and labor
ers. It is one of the largest manufac
turing establishments in this section,
and a resumption of operations there
will be hailed with pleasure,
AS above stated, the plant will be
operated this season to full capacity,
