For some months past it has been mooted among those conversant with such matters that the Ashley Phos phate Company, of this city, having outgrown it- present proportions, was desirous of extending itself, and that with this end in view it had thor oughly prospected all the available sites within e .sv reach of the city. Failing to find ati toe conditions re quired at any other point ofit du ibie, the company entered into negotia tions with tiie Charleston Phosphate Company, and has recently been fort unate in the purchase of the works of this company, with ail its rights and franchises, under most favorable terms. These works are desireably located on the banks of tlie Adiley River, i and having been burnt down and re-j built, they are now nearly new. They ( have a large capacity, and, being; among the most recently built works] in the Udiiled States, every device or improvement at present known in phosphate mills has been adopted in their construction. They are most convenient of access, having both railroad and steamboat facili ties. There will be great regret on the part of this community, and of the extensive connections of the Uharlos- Pliospbate Company, that this compa ny, having a name m ist dear to the whole Southern States especially, wiil no longer exist, and that its brands, most favorably known, will hereafter be withdrawn from the trade. JJut there is compensation in all tilings, and the friends and patrons of the old company can feci entire coulid' nee in its new proprietors, as tiie well established reputation of tlie Ashley Phosphate Company for hon esty and liberality in* the manage ment of its affairs will give full assur ance of satisfaction to all who may deal witli it. The expenditure necessary in the purchase of the Charleston works by the Ashley Phosphate Company lias necessitated the enlargement of their capital stock; and now, with new ad ditional works, increased capital and extended facilities for Manufacturing, they are in better position than ever before to supply the wants of the trade. Th-' original stock of the Charles ton Ph splint- Company was $12,00'', allied wa- reduced until the stock al lowed the old company was $14,000 The present capital stoek of the new com; any is $5!,030, of which theAsbley Phosphate Company nas contributed ■ J: 25.000 and Capf, C. C. Pinckney, Jr., $15,000. The net available assets o the c. m nuiy amour to $120,681 52 and its liabilities, including its capital stock, $106,015 3ft. The name of tlie Chariest >n Ph *sphate Company wilt be abolished. The Ashley Phosphate Company was given $10,000 by the new concern for tlie use of its name and brands. The new company will fie incorporated by the next Legislar ure, and tiie stock will he issued as soon as possible after the charter has been secured. rfE mum rail! SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
