COTTON COMPREssEs.
Several Large Establishments Employ
 Ing Many Men.

Montgomery's location in the heart of the rich agricultural section of Ala bama, It's splendid railroad facilities and it's excellent cotton market unite in giving importance to its cotton com press enterprises. The value of Mont gomerys trade in cotton. just what 1t means to the city may not be estimat- ed in dollars and cents.
 The importance of the compress in- dustry to the city's big cotton trade Is almost equally as difficult to esti mate. An enormous amount of cotton Is marketed In Montgomery. Mont gomery's cotton receipts for last years crop until August l were 16S,496 bales. Much fthis crop was hurried in dur ing three or four months. But for the congresses the railroads would have been swamped. There would have been no such thing as quick delivery. In the bulky form in which 1t comes from the gin the railroads could not have handled all this cotton from the farms of middle Alabama. The carry ing capacity of the cars were increas- ed over three times by the rapid, cer- tain work of the presses.
 To handle that large crop the conn

BRIcKMAKING INDUSTRY.
Four Plants Here in a FlOurishinw
 Condition.

Conditions for the successful mAnu. facture of brick in Montgomery are almost ideal The prime requisites, a workable, satisfactory clay is here in unlimited quantities
 The clay out of which brick is made is found in the vicinity of Montgomery of a quality which is equal to the brick clay of any section. Wood for fuel for the kilns can be obtained cheaply. Labor conditions are all that could be desired. The demand for brick has been steadily maintained. A good market Is always open and rail- road facilities are always good
 There are four brick manufacturing establishments in Montgomery and each of them did a satisfactory busi- ness of the year which has just closed. The year which has just closed was marked by great building activity. The amount of building done in the Capi- tol City during the past twelve months is hardly appreciated by the average citizen.
 The great local demand for brick, however was not able to consume the output of the four Montgomery manu- factories and much of 1t was shipped away
 In discussing the brick industry in Montgomery James Mcintyre, of the Mcintyre Brothers said:
 There is in the vicinity of Mont eimery clay that makes as good @ building brick as any clay in the coun- try. The common building brick made in Montgomery is superior to that made anywhere else in the State. Ex- perts visiting this city have frequent- ly commented upon the quality and ex- cellence of the brick used in the in. side walls of buildings going up in Montgomery The common brick have better finish and have a much more pleasing appearance than the brick used in many cities for facing preten~ tious buildings.

FERTILIZER FACTORIES.
This Branch of Manufacturing has In-
 creased One Hundred Per Cent.

'In the past two years the fertilizer factories of Montgomery have increas- ed one hundred per cent. The increase has been In the value of the fertilizer plants and in the value of their pro- ducts. The year which has just closed has been a good year, very good year for the manufacturers of fertili- zers."
 The year in the manufacture of fer tilizers was thus summarized by J. w, Huger, President of the Alabama Chemical Company. This company's plant. a new one, with the finest mod ern equipment, Is located on the lines of the Western Railway and the Gen. tral of Georgia Railway. It has cap ital stock of S300,000 and employs one hundred and fifty men. The plant has an annual capacity of 35,000 tons. President Huger is one of the most thoroughly informed fertilizer manu- lecturers in the South. He has built and operated successful plants in South Carolina and Georgia,
 This Increase so remarkable and un- usual" continued MT. Huger. ''comes from natural causes. It is due. for one thing, to the high price of cotton throughout the year. It is due also. in a large measure. to the fact that the farmers are becoming more and more educated in the use of commer- cial fertilizers. They are now using more commercial fertilizers to the acre than ever before.
 Montgomery Is. perhaps. the largest fertilizer manufacturing center Of the State. I should say that at least q third of the total amount of fertili- ger made in Alabama is manufactured right here in Montgomery.
 "A large portion of the material us ed by fertilizer manufacturers Is i'm ported. Both spain and Chili contrib ute to the material which Is used in the Montgomery fertilizer factories. A large portion of this material. in the form of pyrites. comes from the port Of Huelva, Spain. The nitrate of soda which Is largely used comes from Chili on the West Coast of South America The various grades of potash such as kainit, manure salts. murate of potash, are all imported from various mines in Germany. A large proportion of the phosphate rock used by manufacturers of fertilizers is shipped direct from the | phosphate rock fields of Tennessee and Florida.
 The ammonitical material from which nitrogen Is derived, such as dried blood and tankage, comes from the packing houses of the west A few years ago all this material went to waste. Another source of nitrogen fig cotton seed meal, which is now so | largely manufactured in the South"
 The fertilizer manufacturers of Montgomery ship their products all over the State If Alabama and into the states of Georgia. Florida and Missis- sippi.
 The fertilizer industry has grown so in Montgomery that it has demand ed new conditions in transportation as regards fertilizers. The freight sys- tenn which was efficient few years ago Is not effective enough to satisfactori- ly handle the large output of the Mont gomery mills today. New conditions ] demand new freight services and the

and enterprising plants which handle lumber in various ways.
 The Crampton Flaming Mill has an up to date plant on the lines of the Seaboard Air Line and the Central of Georgia railroads. The mill has S15,o0o invested, and 1t employs fS men. It manufactures yellow pine lumber in which it has an annual out- put of $t5,000.
 The present plant of the Gorrie Plan- ing Mill was recently purchased from Wilkinson and Company. It is locat- ed on Bell Street, and represents an investment of $10.000. It employs 20 men in the manufacture of house f1n- ishing lumber. It's products are sold all over Alabama. s.

tfons were only medium. Only conser-i vative mills made money. The price of oil fuctuated too much. The aver age price was thirty cents a gallon. but the price iuctuated from twenty four cents to thlrty-four cents. The mills which were fortunate eifough to sell their products at the higher prices were the only ones that made money.
 q have no hesitancy in saying that turers. If the railroads would treat the mill men with a broad policy and establish fair and equitable rates there would be still more remarkable in- crease in manufacturing interests"
 The Southern Cotton oil Company, the strong organization which controls so many oil mills in the South has a splendid plant in Montgomery. The plant Is located on the tracks of the Western and Louisville and Nashville Railroads and in 1t the company has in- vested $f15,000. The plant has a ca- pacity of two hundred tons of seed daily. The oil Is sold and shipped to northern refineries. The meal ana the hulls are sold in Alabama and Florida. Captain J. W. Black is manager for Montgomery for The Southern Cotton Gil Company.

Ernest Lamar of Selma, is president of the company. The mill will not only engage in the manufacture of products of cotton seed but 1t will operate also a grist mill with a daily capacity of ten cars.
