THE FERTILIZER TRUST.
Some idea of the immensity

Some idea of the immensely
of the fertilizer trust or COM
bination, known as the Vlr-
ginia- Carolina Chemical
Company, which has been
soundly roasted from every
political platform in the state,
can be formed by an an
nouncement which was
recently made by the
directors that the company
now owns and operates ferti-
lizer plants in thirty towns and
cities. Although this season
hasbeen considered a light one
ITO, tons of fertilizer were
sold.
Should this gigantic concern

If relief cannot be had
through the courts the farm
ers could throttle the monster
by simply discontinuing the
use of commercial fertilizers.
Crops were made, in abun
dance, too, long before the
guano gourd and horn where
ever thought of. There is after
all no great need for CONNER
cial fertilizers if all Of the
cotton seed grown on the farm
were returned to the soil and
this supplemented with a llb,
eraE application of barn-yard
manure.

Several new members were

Mr.. A. E. Padgett, chair
man of the committee on

half of his committee that
steps be taken to improve the
roads leading to our town SO
that those who have produce
to sell or merchandise to buy
will come to Edgefeld instead
of going to other markets.He
which by the way,
is a very timely and practical
suggestion, that the league en-
deavor, with the consent and
aid of the county commission
ers, to change the public road
from Log creek to Mr.. David

steep hills can be avoided.

WILL HAVE MUSTER,
National Guard Encampment Viii
Occur in August.
First Regiment and Then Second Will
Come Into Camp.

The National Guard of Maine will
come into camp 1t the muster grounds
| i'll this city the second and third weeks
| in August. Many statements have
| been made in different parts of the
State that there would be no encamp-
ment the present year. General Farm
| ham has been considering the matter
very carefully during the past few
weeks and has now determined that
| the encampment shall take place as
| last year. Yesterday, Governor Hill
and General Farnnam had q final con-
| ference on the subject and when it
was concluded the latter announced
| that everything was settled and that
| the regiments would come into camp
at Augusta, beginning August II and
continuing until August %.
| The same plan of having regimentaI
cncampments, which heretofore has
proven wise, will be followed, this
year. In 1901 the Second Regiment
came into camp first and this year the
First Regiment will come first. The
latter regiment, Col. L. II. Kendall
i'll command, will report at Augusta
on Tuesday, August Il, and will remain
until Saturday, August 16. A detail will
gust IS, when Col. L. L. Newcomb's
command will report for duty, remain
ing until Friday, August -. The men
will be in camp five days but will re-
Ceive only four days pay. This is
necessary on account of the smallness
of the appropriation to be devoted to
the encampment.
1t had been thought that perhaps
better results might be obtained by
having Il brigade camp rather than
two reSimental camps, but after con-
sidering all the points in favor of boil;
plans in all their details, General
F'arnham came to the conclusion that
the good of the service was in favor of
the regimcntal camps. While the cost
Of having the latter is Il little more
the expense of preparing the grounds
for a brigade cncampment would be
more than double the amount that
might be saved by the change.
The official order to the National
Guard to the effect that the encamp-
ment will be held as above stated, will
soon be issued.
1t is not yet settled whether the
troops will come to camp with only
khaki uniforms or whether they will
bring both the heavy and the lighter
kind. The idea has been advanced
that the khaki uniform will not be
warm enough for the cool nights of
Maine. Thirteen companies have al
ready been provided with the new uni
forms and the balance will be supplied
in season for the encampment.
