New Fertilizer Plant.

It is understood on pretty good author ity that Bessemer will have another fer tilzer plant within the coming year, and this is very good news, as there is no doubt business enough in the district to support more than one plant of this kind. At present there is only one fertilizer plant in the immediate vicinity, and 1t is always taxed to it's utmost capacity. and it is hard even thento keep up with the orders.
 It is understood that MT. William Lowndes. who was associated in the fer tilzer business in this city for several years, Is contemplating the erection of a modern and up-to-date plant in this city. and from word received in this city from him today 1t is supposed that a,- rangements will in the very near future be made for the erection of the plant.
 It is not known just where the plant will be located, but 1t has been learned that negotiations are now pending for q site that will be conveniently located to the different railroads.
