time from the same cause, a fact
which the farmers Of the State who
have not yet put in their seasons S
supply would do we'll to take into
consideration.
The way it comes about is that Sc
we're ocean storms have interfered
with the arrival in port OF a number
of vessels which were on their way
to this country bringing large guam
titles Of potash, which is a material
ingredient of commercial fertilizers
Two of these cargoeS, one carried by
the steamship Charles Signe, and
consisting Of 1000 tons, due in
Charleston on Monday, March 10th
and the other by steamship Locks
ley, carrying $500 tons, and, due in
Savannah on March -, have been
held up at the Azores. This potash
was needed to meet the demands Of
manufacturers and mixers, who have
been buying their stocks from hand
tO-mOuth.
AS a result Of the failure Of these
cargOes to reach port, muriate Of
potash has gone up from $S to 50 a
ton. while kainit has advanced about
$3.50 ton. AS these products fig
ure prominently in the manufacture
Of commercial fertilizers, il is easy
to see how conditions Of this kind
can materially affect the price.
Georgia manufacturers and mix
crs. however, had some stocks on
hand and for that reason no advance
has yet occurred in this State, but it
is liable to do so as soon as the short
stocks are exhausted.

ELECTRICITY FOR wALHALLA.

We now have assurance that within
the next few months Walhalla will
have electric lights and electric cur
rent for use by small enterprises.
This will indeed be good news to the
citizens Of the town and community,
who have long hoped for the LiiGo
when some one would take hold Of
the matter and give, even with the
possibility Of personal loss, or at best
with but small hope Of personal gain
the means OF adequately lighting the
town and the homes within the town
The present plan comes as the re-
suit Of recent work entered into by
Capt. w A. Strother and DR.. J. w.
Bell, who are now engaged in the
erection Of dam on the shoals at the
old Rhctt Mill place, and who will
soon be in a position to furnish cur
rent for the public. The contract en-
tered into last week between the Off
cials Of the town and Messrs. Stro-
ther & Bell is one Of the most liberal
possible for the town, and one that
could have come from no source other
than men deeply interested in the
welfare of Walhalla. Embodied in
the contract, voluntarily submitted by
MIR. Strother, are the following main
points:
The electric company to furnish
to the town Of Walhalla continuous
current-50 hOrsc-power-thc cur
rent TO be absolutely continuous cX-
Ccpt from s o'clock a. m. TO ) o'clock
p. m. on Sundays.
The rate charged for this service
is to be $1,SOO per year, payable
quarterly.
The term Of the contract is for n
period Of 20 years.
1t is supposed that the company
will be in readiness TO furnish cur
rent by the first OF June.
The monetary consideration in this
contract is such that the town Of
Walhalla will he in position to fur
nish electric lights and power 10 the
citizens at a figure possibly lower
than those prevailing in any other
town in South Carolina, and the fact
that the company is composed Of local
business men is a guarantee that the
volume of current will be amply sutti-
cient and reliable to meet all the
needs Of the people.
Mr.. Strother and Dr.. Bell are to be
congratulated upon taking this libe-
raj attitude in the matter, and the
town of Walhalla should feel proud
Of the enterprise and liberality Of
these two citizens, who are making it
possible to have properly lighted
streets and putting within the reach
of every citizen good light for the
