POTASH INDUSTRY ExPENDs.

Washington, Feb. 23.-A remarkable
expansion in the American potash in
dustry has resulted from efforts to
make the United States Independent of
foreign sources for the potash used in
munitions and for other purposes, and
although the boom did not get under
way until late in 1916, production dur
ing the calendar year reached value
ten times as great as that of 1915.
The 1916 production is estimated in
a preliminary report published to-
day by the geological survey at 10000
tons with a value of $3,500,02G. The
estimate is based on incomplete re-
turns, which to date have accounted
for $3.50 tons. In 1917 the report
says, with teh, boom in full swing a
much greater total will be shown.

The CITY'S DEAD
COUNCIL BOUGHT LANDS FROM
MRS. WEBB AND FROM SHEP-
PARDS-IN FARMING BUSINESS.

Thursday evening seven acres OF
land was purchased from Mrs. l.. ii.
Webb by the mayor and council, which
land adjoins and is to be added to the
cemetery, thereby charging it suffi-
icently to answer all purposes for the
next fifteen years. The purchase price
was $3.50 per acre. The council also
closed deal with B. F. Sheppard &
Bros. for one hundred acres of land
lying just west Of the city, which will
be used or part thereof, for colored
cemetery and as city farm. The pur-
chase price of this property is $40 per
acre.
Mayor Jones also urged that the
question of a municipal electric light
and power plant should be brought be-
| fore the people and that the mayor and
council petition Hon. w. H. Doris,
representative from Crisp county to
support legislation seeking to amend
the present law, wherein it requires
two thirds of the registered voters to
carry bonds, so that two thirds OF
those voting or majority be sufficient
to carry bonds at any special election
held for the purpose of voting bonds
| for public Improvements.
An ordinance was also passed re-
