PROPOSE BUILDING
LARGER FACTORY.
Company Will Increase Size of Plant
Here.
EMPLOYING TWO HUNDRED MEN
More Room is Needed and an Entirely
New Plant May Be Built Engineers
lECome Next Week to Make Prelimi-
nary Survey Here.

Instead of charging the buildings
now used here in the manufacture OF
fertilizer. the Virginia Carolina Chem
ical Co. may decide to erect an entirely
new plant, larger and better equipped,
and at some other locality than the one
now occupied.
The matter of building a new plant
is now being considered,
MIR. G. d. Borden, general manager
of the manufacturing departm emf, and
Mr. r. F. Sans, superintendent of
plants in Georgis, spent yesterday in
Americas on business,
1t was stated by these gentlemen
that the Virginia Carolina Chemical
Co. was about ready to begin the en-
largement of its plant in Americas, and
would do this either by greatly increas-
ing the capacity of the buildings now
used or erecting another plant.
The latter proposition might mean
the removal of the works to some other
part of the city or suburbs, where more
land is available.
This point will be determined after
heir reports to the company.
There are half hundred available
sites here for manufacturing purposes,
aud there will be no trouble in getting
one sufficiently large for all purposes
required.
The company will erect two mann
moth acid chambers, and the capacity
of the Americas plant will be 5000
tons fertilizer annually, or nearly
double what it now is. 1t will afford
employment to two hundred operatives
IN the various work departments.
Two engineers will be sent here next
week to make surveys of the present
premises of The company, and two or
three other sites as we'll

BONIFACE IN A CONVICT Carl
A Striking Figure In The Man From
Mexico"

The best attraction booked for
Americas this season "The Man From
Mexico" comes Saturday evening with
George Boniface as the bright particu-
lar star of splendid company. Boni-
face is Benjamin Fitzhew the man who
finds it pleasanter to tell his wife fairy
stories about trip to Mexico than to
confess the CHASTITY truth that he had
to serve term in prison on account of
farcical combination of naughtiaess
Mrs. FitZhew comes to the prison TO
distribute flowers among the poor dear
convicts, but the danger passes for the
time. Later, when the picturesque
Fitzhew returns in a Mexican costume
and fully equipped as he believes with
plausible lies, the climax comes. Mrs.
Fitzhew is bit too clever and the hus-
bands friend, Majors, is too enthusi-
astic in the ex convicL's behalf. How
ever, confession is quickly followed by
forgiveness, and nobody is allowed a
really bad quarter of an hour in the
play.

COLLAPSE COMES
after ADVANCE.
A Decided Break In the Cotton Mar
ket Yesterday
ALL MONTHS SHOWED a DECLINE
January's PyrOtechnic Display Had
Adverse Effect Upon the Other Po-
sitions and Break Follows Few
Sales of Spot Cotton Here.

Instead of following even to limi-
ted extent the phenomenal advance of
January cotton, which this week
scored a gain of 250 points, the other
positions, notably March and May,
have gone the other wav, the contract
market breaking badly yesterday
March lost seventeen points, closing
at 9:19 from the opening figures.
Americas cotton men would not be
surprised TO see the market go several
points lower, though a reaction will
put quotations away above the present
level, Cotton has not yet reached its
highest, despite the belief that the
crop is larger than estimated some
time since. However, no one should
be misled by the present price of spot
cotton in New York, as the valuation i J
not true one and is only arrived at
by the manipulation by certain bro
kers of the spot month January in
the speculative market. There has
been considerable short interest in
January and the market has been very
shrewdly managed by those who had
in charge the interests of the longs, or
buyers After waiting until too late
for the sellers to get the spot cotton to
be ten dered on contracts, they bid up
the market pc per pound, knowing
that they had control of all of the spot
cotton that can be offered in the New
York market by the expiration of Jan
nary, the result being simply a
squeeze" of the shorts.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
MIXING EertIlirer. at Home.

There is one advantage In mixing fer
tilizers at home, that IL one has def
mite idea OF the elements most needed
In his soil or by those crops he intends
TO grow he can use them In such pro-
portions as he wishes without buying
such as are not needed. He can also
usually buy the raw material AT such
prices as may save him the usual COM
mission paid To the agents and the
cost of bagging and put into his pocket
also the price charged for the mixing
A part of the two first items Is more
imaginary than real, however, as the
dealer wants profits OH the material, as
he would have OH the manufactured
goods. But IL the farmer decides TO do
this we advise him against the buying
OF raw phosphate rock or bone and
mixing 1t with sulphuric acid The
carboys of acid are unpleasant things
to handle as the acid burns clothing or
flesh wherever il touches them, and
railroads charge high rates of freight
OH them because OF the danger Of
breaking in transportation. 1t is bet
ter to buy the acid phosphate ii to 16
per cent strong.
