FERTILIZER TRUST.
A Big Transaction on Foot in

Charleston, Feb. % 1t was learn
ed here today that the Virginia
Carolina Chemical company. COM
monty known as the fertilizer trust,
has bought out the Charleston Min
ing and Manufacturing company
The latter concern owned 1900
acres of the best phosphate land in
the world, located in Charleston.

only recently efforts were made to
indrce it to put up million dollar
plant bere
The price paid for the stock of the
Charleston Mining Company was
$3.50, and the total sum involved is q
million and half dollars
As long as this company was lnde-
pendent it was constant menace to
the. so called trust and nov that it
has been bought, the Virginia Caro-
lima concern has virtual control OF
the fertilizer situation in the south.
The Charleston Mining and Manu-
featuring Company is owed almost
entirely by Philadelphia capitalists.
It began operations in 1867 and has
perhaps paid more handsomely on
its original outlay than any other
corporation in South Carolina

He summoned soothsaysr and ask
ed Lin to interpret the dream.
The soothsayer said, 20 king. the
meaning of thy dream is that thy fam
ily and relatives shall die in thy pres
ence. one by one till all are gone.
The king was very angry at that and
sent the soothsayer at once to prison.
Then he sent for another soothsayeg
and again asked for an Interpretation
OF the dream.
The soothsayer made answer. &c
king, the Interpretation Of thy dream
is that thy family and relatives shall
die. one by one. and thou thyself Shalt
outlive them ALL
With this answer the king showed
approval and commanded that pres,
