FERTILIZER HBjjj HERE. NEW ENTERPRISE TO HAVE $100,004) CAPITAL STOCK. Mew*i> ThomtAM Wilson, C. CJ. Rowland. YV. B. Wilson and O. A. l>mmon Secure Com mitwaon foi* Incorporation?N o Trouble In Raising Capital Stock Plant to Manufacture and Sell Fer? tiliser*. From The Daily Item. Sept. 23. | Sumter is to have a n*V enterprise In the near future In the shape of a 1100.0S0 fertiliser factory. The fact that there have bean a number cf fertiliser plants In other clttee In this State which, for a num? ber of years, have been doing a good business, has been talked of here sometime, and during the past year Col. Thos. Wilson has been working to get capitalists interested In the erection of a fertiliser pUnt herd, and his plan has at last materialised. It kt thought that If fertiliser plants are successful where, why should not one be successful here In the' heart of the finest farming section In South Carolina. This Idea has at' last developed into the securing of a commission to raise he capital stock for the enterprise and the assurance that a fertilizer plant will go up here In the near future. Col. Wilson has been away In Eu rope for a couple of months this j ?ummer and immediately upon his re? turn a meeting of some of those who had stated their wish to sub? scribe for stock In the proposed plant wag called and It wss decided that a petition should at once be made to the Secretary of State for a commi* stnrt. This was done Thursday night and the commission was received from the secretary of State. R. M. atcCown. Friday night. The petitioners for a charter are Col. Thos. Wilson. W. B. Wilson, O. A. Lemmon. and C. O. Rowland, all of this city. The petition states that the capital stock of the enterprise will be $100.000. divided Into 1.000 ?bar ~4 and that It will be known as The Crearent Fertiliser Company." The principal place of business for the company will be Sumter and llM business of the concern will be Id manufacture and sell fertilizers, t> mix and manipulate and sell ferti? liser and fertilizer materials; to bu" and sell acid phosphate, crude phosj. phat rock, cotton seed moal, nltra*t> of soda. pota-?h. fertilizer and V rtlllr ? er material* of all kinds *. nat.iover entorin? Into and forming a part of fertilisers, whether the tame be In a crude or finished state, and g n erally to do any and all acts Incident to the h inline, mixing, manufactur? ing and selling of tertriser and its constituent parts; to gin cotton nnd to buy and sell cotton seed; and to acquire, hold and dispose of real estate In conducting Its business." 0g4 Wilson stuted today that It Was th I pWfp M "f the petitioners to get as many local capitalists interest? ed In tho enterprise as possible. It ws* also the purpose of the petition? er* o get as mnnv of tho large farm era In the county as would to tak< shar.* In the company. While it war the Intention to get as many persons aa would It take stork, them woohi he M trnuMa at all In placing It C??|. Wilson stated that already larg* number of person* had stated thHr Intention of taking Mock* of the ators and one Baltimore man, . ?' ? <d In miking fertilizers had offered to subscribe $f?0,00ft .ope locil capitalist had stated to him he fore he left for Europe thnt ho w is willing tn tsk*? $r.0.?)00 worth of stork.

WU*on expect* to subscribe lib erally himself as do a number of others In this city. One Georgia man \ will be here Monday for a conference j in reference to the factory. He Is j anxious to secure stock In the en? terprise. This makes the authorised capital stock entirely too small and If Is probable that It will be doubled or trebled when the company Is In? corporated and chartered. As to the actual factory and Its work. Col. Wilson said that he could not give any details at present. He said that he had offered to give the ?lte for the factory, but he .lid not ?t know where it would be situated. This matter will be taken up later when the board of directors Is elect? ed and probably the City Council or the Board of Health would have to be consulted, as it had to be placed where moat easily accessible and least Inconvenient to residents. Col. Wilson also stated that he waa not a fertil.zer man and that he did not think that anyone else In this city was, so it would be necessary to get an outside man of experience In the buslnere to manage the concern. Other particulars concerning the plant could not be given out 'is they had not yet been arranged and would not be until the capital stock whs subscribed and a board of directors and officer* elected. Ae It would bs some time before this could be done, it was only hife to eay that the fer tllrxer facTory would be built and that In the course of the coming year. Whaling Off New Zealand.

DEFEAT OF RECIPROCITY CAUSE ADVANCE OF WHEAT. All Foodstuff* Arc Going Higher and Higher and the End is Not In Sight?Cost of Living \.< Becoming a Desperately Serious Problem. Chicago, Sept. 22.?Food stuffs, which might have been affected by an influx of Canadian products had Sir Wilfred Lauricr and his govern? ment not been defeated yesterday, advanced sharply in all American supply centres today. Whoat led the advance and was followed later by flour, when millers ignored their pre? vious price lists and adjusted their quotation figures in conformity with the advances in cost of the grain staple. Oats, too, felt the effect of the Canadian vote and as a result con? sumers may expect soon to pay in? creased prices for breakfast foods. The Initial meal of the day. In fact, seems destined to bear the brunt of the higher living costs within the next few months and it needed only today's developments In the trading pits to add force to the recent ad? vances in coffee and sugar. The high cost of toast, biscuit and porridge, it is probable, wl'l bo added to the woes of the housekeeper. The greatest advance in wheat during the day was at Duluth. There traders were paying as high as 8 cents a bushel more for the grain than they did'before reciprocity was rejected. Minneapolis, the greatest milling centre of the country, show? ed a maximum net advance of 6 cents, paying 1:07 for this month's delivery. Increases of a less serious charac? ter were recorded in Kansas City, St. Louis, Omaha and Chicago. Immense stocks of grain In the elevators of this city acted as a check to a severe advance here and brokers on tho board of trade bought wheat for about 3 cents more a bushel than paid yesterday. Tho Chicago market was the lowest of the Important grain centres. It Is by no means certain that to? day's advance indicates that the max? imum has been reached. One of fhe most prominent wheat traders of Chicago advanced the opinion that spring watt, the grade used most extensively for line flour, is due to Increase In cost i'o conti a bushel There is no guarantee that the ex? traordinary telling which today held down the price in Chicago and Indi rectely affected the markets in other cities will be long continued. There is a grain of comfort for the householder. however, in tho neat situation. While packing houses advanced prices, they did so only out of sympathy with grains. The building, committee of -n, y.
