OPTION ON LANDS
HELD BY COMP ANY.
Indicates an Intention to Build Fac
tory Here
CAPACITY WILL BE INCREASED.
Positive Assurance is Given BY V. c.
People, and Proposed Plant May BE
Regarded as a Certainty-Will
Build in Early Spring,

While there are some Doubling
Thomases" here as regards the early
erection of large fertilizer plant by
the Virginia Carolina Chemical Co
the concensus of opinion is that a
splendidrplan will be built during the
early spring and summer
1t requires time to determine such
matters, and while the Virginia Caro-
lima Co. is moving slowly, perhaps,
they desire to be sure of their posi-
ton.
The company has positively declared
that Americas would be given a new
and larger plant, double the size and
capacity of the present one, and the
Times Recorder believes that it will be
built
Should this company decide not to
build, however, a local company will
quickly enter the field, the money nee
essary for such an enterprise being
pledged already, But there is no
need for two such enterprises, and as
the V-C people are already in the To-
cal field they will be given the option.
The Times-Recorder has been as
sured by the president, and by repre-
sentatiyes of the company as well, that
a new factory would be built here this
spring. There is every reason for be-
lievIng that this plan will be fully car.
ried out
OnlY week ago the company sent a
representative here, and a sixty day
option was taken upon one one of the
most available sites about Americas.
And a mammoth fertilizer plant will
yet be erected thereupon. See if it is
not so.

ANOTHER ROUTE NOW WANTED.
Rural Delivery System In Sumter Is
Popular.

If the petition of residents of the
western part of Sumter, north of The
Plains, is granted, the rural mail SER
vice will be extended there. Postmas-
ter Smith received yesterday a petition
signed by several hundred families
residing in the vicinity of Roney and
Friendship, asking the establishment
of free delivery route through that
section. Postmaster Smith at once
forwarded the petition to Washington
and apprehends no difficulty in get
ting this new line established. It
will traverse very thickly populated
section, and is very much needed
The rural mail service already estab-
lished In this county is great conve-
nience, and the business along the
four routes is fast increasing.

SPARK IGNITED THE SHINGLES.
Small Blaze Started In Negro House
Yesterday,

Sparks falling upon the roof of the
dwelling at Plum and Hampton streets
started brisk blaze at $50 o'clock
yesterday morning. The house is a
large frame building, and formerly
used as a cotton ginnery, though now
occupied as dwelling by several ne
groes. The department was early
upon the scene and extinguished the
blaze before any great damage result
ed. Had the flames secured a firm
hold upon the structure the fremen
would have had no easy task.

WIDOWS RECEIVE NO PENSIONS.
Unless the Appropriation Is Largely
Increased.

Many widows of Confederate SOL

unless the appropriation made is in
creased or the pension of $50 is cut in
half or even less, Commissioner Lind

Fulton county alone has 900 Confed-

GUESTS BROKE DOWN MANSION
COlored Wedding Develops Startling
Features


There was very swell colored we'd
ding here last night, the parties thus
linked being Pearl Reese and Eugene
Shaw. There were 40 guests, the
colored Four Hundred in fact, and joy
reigned supreme. Just as the two had
plighted their troth there was terrific
crash and the house tumbled upon the
merry sssemblage. For few moments
there was wild disorder, the house
catching fire in the meantime, but none
of the wedding party were seriously
hurt. In one respect it was one Of the
''hottest" weddings ever witnessed
here, though the fire was soon extin-
guished.

The universal sorrow on the death of Queen Vic

Naturally the first thought is OF the rich com.

heart has at last been broken. But 1t is not just
her very unusual intellectual force and furnishing.
