FERTILIZER DELAY.
One Dealer Sends Hands to Charles.
ton to Load to Help Along.

Considerable delay is being expert
enced by a great many farmers IN
getting their fertilizers this year.
This delay has been occasioned, it is
stated, chiefly because of labor con-
ditions, there being a serious short
age of help in the sacking and load
ing of fertilizers.
A few days ago one of the large
fertilizer firms of this city sent a
force of hands to Charleston to
sack and load their fertilizers. This
firm was notified that the fertilizer
was ready for shipment, except that
the shortage of hands would mean a
delay in getting the guano properly
sacked and loaded on the cars. In
order to expedite shipment force of
hands was hastily gathered and sent
to Charleston.
Other dealers and private users
are contemplating taking the same
steps in order to get their fertilizers
with as little delay as possible.

WORKING THE STREETS.
Big Plow is Turning Up the Soil; Mix.
ing With Harrow.

Last week the city authorities be-
gan the work of repairing the streets,
and already several stretches of road
way have been built Great i'm
provement is noted in the roads al
ready worked, and it is confidently
expected that within few weeks the
streets of the city will show marked
improvement.
A mammoth turnplow was recently
purchased by the city council for
road building purposes. Four strong
mules are hitched to this plow, and
the streets are thorougly broken up.
This is followed by disc harrow,
which breaks all of the clods of earth,
and mixes thoroughly the ingredients
of the street. Then the road is shap-
ed up, drains fixed, and in few days
the street becomes hard again and
smooth.
Most of the streets of the town
have been clayed repeatedly, but
years of use has caused the clay to be
worked into the sand, leaving the
roads sandy and full Of holes. In
most of the streets of the town it
has been found that there is suffici-
ent clay in the roads to make good
surfaces when it is properly mixed
with the sand, of which there is a
profusion everywhere.
Last week the upper end Of Rail-
road avenue was worked. Monday
the street leading by the court house
was shaped up, and Railroad avenue
from Main street to the end of town
is now being worked.
