SENDS SHIPMENT TO AMER1UUs
Large Supply of Acid Phosphate Or
dered Here at Once.

The plant of the Virginia Carolina
Chemical Co. in Americas will resume
operations at an earlier date than ex-
pected when orders to that effect were
recently given.
In fact, the now silent plant will be
busy hive of industry just as soon as
big shipment of six thousand tons OF
acid and other ingredients for manip-
ulation can arrive. This large ship
ment has already been made, and the
first consignment will probably arrive
here one day this week.
Then busy force will be given en-
ployment for the season.
Until the great acid chambers, de-
stroyed by fire year ago, are rebuilt
by the company it will be necessary to
ship acid and other ingredients here
from one of the other plants.
Supt. Roy Mckenzie has been busy
for week getting the buildings and
machinery in good shape and will haYe
everything in readiness by the time
the shipment ordered here arrives.
Permanent repairs, including a new
roof upon the main building, is now
being pushed forward rapidly.
Everything about the plant, as il
now stands, is being given an over
hauling, ana with the erection of the
acid chambers will soon be made
complete.
The present capacity of the plant is
ten thousand tons, but with the en-.
largement contemplated the anna
output of fertilizer will be increased
to fifteen thousand tons. The sir
thousand tons acid ordered here will
keep a force employed during the
greater part of the busy season. .
In the meantime the acid chambers
will be rebuilt and the plant greatly
enlarged.

IT AGAIN GOES TO TEN CENTS
Better Feeling in The Cotton Market
Yesterday.

There was decidedly better feeling
IN the Americas cotton market at the
opening yesterday, and for the first
time in nearly week the staple was in
good demand at prices ranging about
ten cents. Buyers had orders to exc
cute, and farmers felt bit better as
the quotations advanced from the open
ing until gain of fifteen points had
been scored. Picking will go forward
at rapid rate this week and receipts
will probably be good, though not so
heavy as last week. The tone of the
market is rather 'bulIish" and no one
would be surprised TO see it go con-
siderablY higher this week.

THE COTTON INDUSTRY.

THE cotton industry of the
Chickasaw Nation assumes pro-
portions gigantic in size, and Ard
more is the leading market for the
fleecy staple. During several
years just passed, the total re-
ceipts from wagons alone have
ranged from $4,000 bales to SO, 900
bales. Up to this date the receipts
for this season are chasing 5000
bales closely. The price paid for
cotton this season has been excep-
lionally good, the farmer has been
satisfied, and it requires but very
few more figures to show the skep
tic the enormous amount of money
paid by Ardmore merchants and
buyers for seasons cotton crop.
It is almost incredible, but it is
nevertheless true. The hundreds
of thousands of dollars going into
the poor mems pockets, reacts to
the merchants here and an era of
prosperity seems abroad in the
land, which with the dawning OF
another century, will still further
increase the volume of business in
the Queen City of this beautiful
land.

6T rs not the intention of the
: ARDMoREITE at this time to
: ~ enter into the early history OF
-Ardmore, when conditions were il
possible more chaotic than they are
today. Ardmore's history has
been written and re- written time
after time.
Today Ardmore is ,sprightly
miss of thirteen. enjoying an era
of prosperity, which at the close of
the present century comes TO her
by the push aud business tact OF
her hundreds of merchants backed
by her fe w thousands of progress
esiye and peaceable citizens.
As a business center Ardmore
has carried the banner against all
other Terriior towns from her
very existence. The town bas not
been built by capitalists. Oh! no.
The honest hearted, horny handed
man who came here years ago to
make q start, succeeded, even to
sthe extent of building the town.
The money which he made as a
mechanic, clerk or merchant was
invested in buildings. 1t was made
10 Ardmore and it remains here
HIt was no selfish motive either
which induced this. On the con
trary it was plain business pro
position which could be met in ne
other manner. The Lame of Ard
more had gone abroad and th'
people focked here by day anC
night. Tents and houses were il
demand every hour The people
.shad to be cared for, and Ardmor'
was built by her people. True
men with means seeking favy .'abl,
fields for investment found thei
