THE FERTILIZER TRUST
By Another Purchase Controls the
South's Fertilizer Business

Charleston, S. c., February 22.-It is
learned here today that the Virginia.
Carolina Chemical Company, commons
ly known as the fertilizer trust, has
bought out the Charleston Mining and
Manufacturing Company. The latter
concern owned 2,700 acres of the best
phosphate land in the world, located
in Charleston, Berkeley N Colleton
counties, and only recently efforts
were made to induce it to put up g
81. 200, 900 plant here. The pr &c paid
for the stock of the Charleston Min
ing Company was $3.50, and the total
sum involved is 81. 500, 900. AS long as
this company was independent it was
a constant menace to the so-called
trust and now that 1t has been bought,
the Virginia-Carolina concern has
virtual control of the fertilizer So
ton in the south The Charleston
NJ lining and Manufacturing Company
is owned almost entirely by Ph''e in'-
phia capitalists. 1t began operations
in 1867 and has perhaps paid more hand
somely on its original outlay than any
corporation in South Carolina.
