NEW PHOSPHATE ROCK PROCESS

According to a letter to the Manu-
facturer's Record from S. B. Newber-
ry, vice president and general mana
ger of the Sandusky Portland Cement
Co., Bay Ridge, o., he has succeeded
in demonstrating that by his process
the "phosphoric acid of phosphate
rock can be brought into practically
complete citrate soluble form at a
cost very much lower than that of acid
phosphate" Mr.. Mr.. Newberry has
secured patents on this process, and
writing of it, he says:
My product is also a dry powder,
permanent and free from all tenden-
cy to deteriorate on storage, and in
convenient form for shipment. From
phosphate rock containing 80 per
cent. total phosphoric acid l obtain
product containing at least 31.5 per
cent. citrate soluble phosphoric acid,
and less than one-half per cent. insol-
uble phosphoric acid
The demonstrations made have
been on small manufacturing scale,
but Mr.. Newberry is satisfied that the
process viii work on a commercial
scale, and arrangements are being
made looking to the building of a fac
tory near Cincinnati. which it is hoped
to have in operation by July next. In
association with the patentee, Geo. r.
Fishburne, of Charleston. S. c.. and
H. N. Barrett of Bay Ridge, o., have
taken part in the development of this
process. In view Of the extent of the
phosphate rock industry in the south,
anything that would make a radical
improvement in the handling of phos-
plate rock, making it available for
commercial fertilizers, is a matter of
widespread interest-Ba Baltimore Man

Twixt twilight and dark.

'Twixt twilight and dark,
Up near Manitou Park,
A maiden sat combing
Her bright golden hair
When heated with roaming,
All painting and foaming
There came up and squeezed
Her a big grizzly bear.
II did not alright her,
The bear did not bite her,
She lay back and murmured:
"Oh! still tighter, dear"

Sneaked back to the mountains
And hid whole year.

FAMILY HAS NARROW
 ESCAPE FROM FIRE
Preparations Under Way For New POstOffice
 At Florence

Florence, August 23-(Special)-The cot tage of c. J. Swager on Cedar street was burned to the ground this morning. MT. Swager was awakened by the smoke. and when he opened the door into the adjoining room he was met. by gust of flame.
 Shutting the door quickly he awakened his wife and the family of his brother in-law, A. D. Lane, and all escaped, but very little furniture was saved
 The origin of the fire is not known. MT. Swager carried $500 on his furniture and MT. Lane carried $500. MT. Swager could not state how much insurance he carried on his house or what his loss was.
 Letters and telegrams have been passing frequently during the past few days be- tween the supervising architect at Wash ington and Postmaster Moore, custodian of the Florence public building site rela- tive to the beginning of operations.
 MT. Moore received telegram yester- day asking for the bench mark, and he stated today that work on the building few days. The site was purchased by the government over three years ago, and the delay was caused by an error in the architects office by which the entry finished was made opposite the Florence public building This error was dscov- cred by Mayor Ashcraft on recent trip to Washington, and the attention of the authorities called to it.

 sParole has also been issued to William Williams. a negro, who was sent up from Montgomery to serve seven years for mansaughter. It was shown that the act of manslaughter which he committed was not with intent to kill on the strength ot which he has been paroled.
 The governor has remitted bond for feiture taken up by Capt. J. H. Cranford of Jasper in the case of the state against Andrew Abels. .Abels has been captured and the fine has been remitted provided costs are paid.

CELEBRATE LAYING OF NEW RAILROAD
The Daughter of President BlOunt Drives Silver
 Spike On B. & s.

Union Springs, August 2S.-(Special.) An event of far reaching interest and one fraught with the greatest meaning for Union Springs and this section of country occurred this morning when the ceremony of drying the first spike on the extension of the Birmingham and Southeastern railway took place at Fort Davis, on the Seaboard, seven miles north of this city
 There were about 50 who went out on the special train which left here at o'clock. The official beginning of the work took place at the point where the new road crosses the Seaboard AIT Line. just west of Fort Davis. Presi- dent W. M Blount made short address in which he spoke of the magnitude of the enterprise and the benefit which he believed 1t would be to this section of country.
 After the address of President Blount a silver spike, which had been pre- pared for the purpose by Joe Patterson of this city, was put in place and driven In by little, Miss Wilda Blount, daughter of the president, striking the first blow. After this each member of the party made one stroke. While the party were at Fort Davis. seven cars of steel rolled in over the Seaboard from Birmingham.
 Many miles are now ready for the cross ties and rails and the enterprise will be pushed along rapidly. This road will be constructed as far as Tal lassee at once and it is the intention to ultimately carry it to Birmin gham on the north and St. Andrews bay on the south.

much more magnanimous. Aldrich says to Bailey, Penrose says to Martin, Lodge says to Simmons, "Of course, you are en- titled to protection. Propose what you please and we will vote for it." Precise ly, for they know that every shred of protection laid on raw material Is rivet to fasten the protective policy on the country.
 The manufacturers forced Sir Robert Peel, a protectionist, to give England free trade, and the day Is at hand, and nigh at hand at that, when the manufacturers of America, the majority of them, will de- mand free trade at the hand of the American Congress. MT. Redfeld's s speeches in Congress augur for that. He Is a manufacturer in Brooklyn, N. Y., and he is ready for absolute free trade, though he pays the highest wages in his line in the world
 An extensive woolen manufacturer from Chicago was here when the Underwood wool bill was incubated, and he declared that if granted free wool and free ma chinery .he would cheerfully relinquish the duty on his finished product and not reduce wages one cent.
 
 The manufacturers now oversupply the home market. Some of them want to make wares for 1,500.OO0000 human beings in other parts of the world, and the only way to do it is free materials with which to construct plants, free machinery, free fuel, and free raw materials. All these the English manufacturer enjoys. and that is how it came that England is the worlds workshop.
 We will move that workshop over here and locate it at the south soon as Congress turns free trader and not be- fore.
