The section which fell had been detached from the main structure and was, it was stated, unable to support its own weight.

We were told today that the electrical machinery in the fertilizer-from-air plant at Nitrolee has been shipped to Mount Holly, N. C., our understanding being that the fdttilizer-from-air plant at Nitrolee is to be abandoned and one constructed at Mount Holly owing to more favorable atmospheric conditions at the latter point. The Nitrolee ? 1 i. il . /? A P * 1 I 1 ? piani was uie iirsL ox lis Kina in the Western Hemisphere, and considerable interest attached to its workings. The fertilizer manufactured at the plant, we understand, has been of a high grade, but the output has been limited owing to unfavorable conditions. The working force has all left Nitrolee, with the exception of a watchman. - Chester Reporter.
