OF FERTILIZERS
Bulletin Issued by Director of
Census Shows Georgia
Leads Country in Producing
Fertilizers
(By EALPH SMITH.)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 18.—
"Georg’la is by far the most important
*t&te in the production of commercial
fertilizers, the value of its product in
1909 representing nearly one-sixth of
the total for the country.” says a bulle
tin Just Issued by William J. Harris,
director of the census. The bulletin
deals with the manufacture and -con
sumption of fertilizer, and will appeal
particularly to the farmers of Georgia
and tne south.
The bulletin is based upon statistics
of the fertilizer industry for 1909. It
covers establishments making artificial
fertilizers, the products being ordi
narily ready for use without being
subjected to, further treatment. Tne
raw materials .used by fertilizer fac

other acids are used extensively in the
e treatment of basis materials.
A TxtEME.sDOUS'lNDUSTRY.
The total number of establishments
reported as engaged primarily in the
manufacture of fertilizers in 1909 was
650, with a capital of $121,537,451. The
number of person engaged in the in
dustry was 21,950, of wnom 18,310 were
wage earners. The total value of ail
products of the 560 establishments
amounted to $103,960,213, of which $92,-
36s,was the value of fertilizers
proper, the amount of which was 5,-
-40,164 tons. The sum of $11,882,815
was paid out for services, of which
$7,4$ 4,1*9 was lor wa^es.
In 1859, 47 establishments were re
growth of the industry from census
ported as maaing leruiizeis, with du8
wage earners and products valued at
$891,344. The growth of the industry
from census to census has been
continuous and for the most part
rapid, the value of products re
ported for 1909 being nearly
18 times as great as that for 1869. Be-
tw -n 1899 and 1909 the value of
products increased 132.8 per cent., the
number of wage earners 58.1 per cent.,
and the amount paid in wages 78.7 per
cent. The growth of the industry was
greater during this decade than in any
other decade except that from 1869 to
1879.
GEORGIA LEADS ALL STATES.
Although * reported from 34 states,
the industry is largely concentrated in
the southern, states, the statps of the
South Atlantic division alone reporting
more than half of the total value of
products in 1909. In this -connection
it may be noted that, according to the
census of agriculture, much the larger
part of the expenditure of farmers for
fertilizer is in the south. In 1909 the
farmers of the United States reported
11. expenditure of $114,882,541 for fer
tilizers, of which $76,752,296, or 65.9
per cent, was spent by the farmers of
the south. The farmers of the South
Atlantic division alone spent $59,625,-
130, or more than half of the total,
v Most of the expenditure for fertilizers
outside of the south was reported rrom
the three northeastern divisions of the
country—the New England, Middle At
lantic, and East North Central divi
sion.
Georgia is by far the most important
state in the production of fertilizers,
the value of its product in 1909 repre
senting nearly one-sixth of the total
for the country. Maryland ranks sec
ond among the states in value of
products of the fertilizer industry,
ibaorida, one of the important states in
thi.j industry, shows the greatest rate
of increase in value of products be-
twtvn 1899 and 1909, 675.6 per cent.
In Georgia the increase was 399 per
cent, and in Virginia, Alabama, North
Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Mississippi
and Connecticut the rate of increase ex
ceeded 100 per cent. Although the per
centage of increase during the decade
was less conspicuous for South Carolina,
this state advanced from sixth place in
value of products in 1904 to third place
in 1909.
CHARACTER OF OWNERSHIP.
In 1909, of the total number of estab
lishments reported for the industry 67.1
# per cent were under corporate ownership,
as compared with 57 per cent in 1904.
In 1909 the value of products of these
establishments represented 94.3 per cent
• of the totalf and in 1904 90.8 per cent.
The reports show that 1.8 per cent of
the establishmentts manufactured prod
ucts valued at $1,000,000 or over in 1909,
as against 1.5 per cent in 1904. These
establishments reported 16.6 per cent pf
the value of products in 1909 and 15.6
per cent in 1904. By far the greater
part of the value of products of the in
dustry, 73.8 per cent, in 1909, and 70.5
per cent, in 1904, was reported by estab
lishments having products valued at
$100,000, but less than $1,000,000 each.
The average number of wage earners
per establishment decreased from thirty-
six in 1904 to thirty-three in 1909, but
the average value of products per estao-
lishment increased from $141,707 to
$189,019. and the average value added by
manufacture from $43,241 to $62 615.
CLASS OF MATERIALS USED.
As judged by the amount expended for
them, ammoniates, animal and vegetable,
were the most important materials, fol
lowed by phosphate rock, potash salts,
superphosphates, nitrate of soda, am
monium sulphates, sulphuric acid, fish,
pyrites and kainit in the order named.
The cost of materials aggregated $55,-
360,423 in 1909. $28,975,713 in 1904 and
523,454.126 in 1899. Of these respective

I. H, McMichael Admits New
York World Pays Him, but
Says It Is for Story
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-—I. H. Me-
Michael, former chief page of the house,
described by Martin M. Mulhall in his
lobby exposure as the “chief spy” upon
congressmen for the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers, testified before
the house lobby committee that he was
now being paid a weekly salary of $75
by the New York World, which printed
the original Mulhall charges. McMich
ael explained ho was being paid under
an agreement to write a story about
“twenty years a house employee” af£er
the lobby investigation was over.
Attorney J Easby-Smith, representing
Representative J. T. McDermott, told
the committee he would bring Allan A.
Irvine, a government supply contrac
tor of this city, to testify that Mc
Michael had informed Irvine he would
receive a weekly salary until he had
corroborated Mulhall’s testimony.
“I have a contract to begin after
this hearing, but I don't think you have
any right to Inquire into my private
business,” retorted McMichael when
pressed for details.
The committee finally required a ful
ler answer.
“I am under a verbal agreement—not
one in writing,” began McMichael, “I n H in
am out of a job and must make a liv- JVlfle? y^UlVb UIZ rrOlTl
mg. So I agreed to write a story of
twenty years a house employee, but it
was expressly understood I was not to
write it until after this investigation.”
“And you receive $75 a week?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Didn t you tell Irvine you were to
receive the salary for corroborating Mul-
hall?”
‘No, sir, I did not.”
‘Didn’t you tell Irvine that if Repre
sentative McDermott would pay you
$325 he owed you, that you would not
say a word to hurt him,” demanded
Smith. “Did you intend to suppress all
you have told if McDermott paid you
the $325??”
“Absolutely not,” insisted McMichael;
“1 intended to do just as I am doing,
tell the unvarnished truth.”
McMichael’s sensational

Acquitted of Charge of
Shooting Him Last December
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 18.—Wild
excitement was caused in the city court
room early last night when Robert
Sears, constable and former deputy sher
iff, shot down Will Smith, a negro, a
moment after a jury had acquitted the
latter of a charge of shooting at Sears
last December while the constable was
trying to make an arrest. One shot
broke the negro’s arm and another pene
trated his shoulder and cheek. He will
likely recover.
Judge Armstead Brown and officers of
the court hid behind desks and furniture
to escape the fusilade of bullets. Sears
was finally overpowered and Judge
Brown ordered him to jail for contempt
of court.
The cojirt has summoned the grand
jury into special session Monday to take
immediate action.

of miles and a dozen states and pro
vinces, J. M. Lindsay, said to be wanted
in Athens, Ga., on the charge of embez
zling $7,000, was arrested on a farm

December 13.
totals the cost of ammoniates formed
42.4 per cent in 1899, as compared with
34.2 per cent in 1904 and 29 per cent in
1909. The cost of phosphate rock shows
only slight proportionate changes; it
constituted 15.2 per cent of the total of
the specific materials in 1899, 14.6 per
cent in 1904 and 15.6 per cent in 1909.
The cost of potash salts represented 13.2
per cent. 12.4 per cent and 13.2 per cent
of the totals for the respective years,
and the aggregate cost of sulphuric acid
and pyrittes and sulphur constituted 13.2
per cent of the total in 1899, 11 per cent
in 1904 and 11.2 per cent in 1909.
All fertilizer establishments manufac
turing sulphuric acid employed the
chamber process, sixteen using the Hoff
man intensifier system, eleven the Pratt,
nine the Gilchrist, three the Meyer tan
gential system, and one the Luney. The
manufacture, for consumption in their
own works, of 1.826,358 tons of acid
phosphate was reported by establish
ments engaged primarily in the fertilizer
industry, and 12,507 tons were made and
consumed by establishments manufac
turing fertilizers as subsidiary products.

BOOZERS CHOSE SMALL-
P0X HACK F0R PARTY
DALTON. Ga., Aug. 18.—After being
driven from a livery stable in which
they were engaged in passing around
a quart bottle, a congenial bunch of
imbibers had the misfortune to select
upon an abandoned hack which had
been used in hauling smallpox patients
to the pestnouse.
While the imbibition was at its hight
they were informed of the germs lurk
ing within the cushions, causing them
to beat a hasty retreat. As those ex
posed to the germs were soaked with
‘medicine,” no smallpox epidemic is
feared here.
HEINZE SUED BY GOULD
ON $1,000,000 IN NOTES
NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—Edward
Gould and William Nelson Cromwell
started separate suits today against
F. Augustus Heinze, copper magnate,
for sums aggregating more than one
million dollars.
Edward Gould’s complaint states
that in 1907 Heinze gave him a prom
issory note for $1,591,975 on which
$900,284, plus interest, is still due.
Mr. Cromwell says that in the same
year Heinze made out a promissory
note due him for $276,000 on which
$154,000, plus interest, is due.

Impeached Governor Writes
Another Letter to Glynn, De
ploring Strife Over Office
(By Associated Press.)
ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 18.—An armed
truce over Sunday Is the present situa
tion in fight for the governorship of
New York state. Both Governor Sulzer
and Lieutenant Governor Glynns as ac
ting governor, signed official papers
during the day. Apart from this the
only skirmish was the issuing by Gov
ernor Sulzer of a reply to Mr. Glynn’s
declination of the suggestion that their
differences be taken at once to court.
Governor Sulzer deplores this declina
tion, pointing out that will probably
lead t<f “trouble and litigation.”
The purpose of the suggestion, he stat
ed. was ‘to avoid the spectacle of two
persons claiming to act as governor of
this great state at the same time.”
Mr. GTynn left his official fort on the
third floor of the capitol early in the
afternoyn, but Governor Sulzer stood by
his guns on the floor below throughout
the day.
Governor Sulzer’s letter which ar
rived after Mr. Glynn had left, em
phatically denied that his communica
tion suggesting that the controversy
be taken into court contained any “sug
gestion that you should barter away
any of the functions attacting to the
office of lieutenant governor, but simp
ly that we seek a termination of what
your and my rights and duties are at
the present juncture. The letter con
tinued:
STATEMENT INACCURATE.
“Your statement that the matter is
now in the highest course of the state—
the court of impeachment, I suggest to
you is very inaccurate. The court of
impeachment will not convene until the
8th of September. The court is *not to
determine who is to discharge the du
ties of governor pending trial of the
charges presented to it, and of course,
could not, in any event, determine that
question before it convenues.
“Whatever the result of the charges
against jne may be, it is certain that
future trouble and litigation will arise,
growing out of your acts and mine, and
it was to prevent, as far as possible,
such future trouble, and to avoid the
spectacle, of two persons claiming to
act as governor of this great state at
the same time, that I made the sugges
tion that counsel for you and for my
self endeaver to agree upon some meth
od of presenting the question^ as to who
should act as governor until the de
cision and determination of the charges
against me, to the courts at the earliest
possible moment, and that we abide by
the law as it should be determined by
the courts, not by counsel,* and I regret
that my efforts in that behalf are not
to have your cooperation.”
Mrs. Sulzer, who is suffering from a
nervous breakdown, spent a quiet after
noon and was reported as resting more
comfortably tonight. Her temperature
was given as 102 1-2 and her pulse at
120.
Lynn J. Arnold, publisher of the Al
bany Knickerbocker Press and one of
the governor’s closest counsellors, an
nounced tonight , that he will undertake
to form a national law and order com
mittee to defend Governor Sulzer.
“drive out of our public life and to
punish the political bosses to the full
est possible Extent under the law.”

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—Substan
tial progress has been achieved, in the
judgment of administration officials
here, by John Lind, in the discharge
of his delicate mission to Mexico. They
feel the American embassy’s adviser at
least has made a breach in the wall,
which theoretically had been erected by
the Mexican government to obstruct his
negotiations. The presentment he al
ready has made is k understood to be
only of a preliminary character and
will be followed by others setting out
more in detail the object which the
American administration had in mind
in dispatching him to Mexico City.
The delivery of these supplementary
communications, either orally or in
writing, will depend entirely upon the
reception which the Mexican govern
ment accords the first communication.
This is now under careful considera
tion, a fact regarded as of the utmost
promise for the ultimate success of the
negotiations. It is understood that
while there is nothing in these views
in the nature of a demand for the
withdrawal of General Huer’i from tne
presidency, or for the arbitrary fixing
cf the date for a general election, there
is nevertheless a distinct intimation of
the administration’s belief that some
concession should be made by the
J.uerta government to terminate the
present insurrection and to insure the
aceendancy of a truly popular govern
ment.
If the fundamentals are accepted,
the way will be open for conference^ to
define the means by which the desired
results could be brought about.
NEXT STEP MONDAY.
It is expected at the state depart
ment that the next step’in the nego
tiations will not be taken before Mon
day. The request of th e Mexican gov
ernment for time to consider Mr. Lind’s
presentation practically conveyed that
idea. Meanwhile it is deemed essen
tial that the principals to the nego
tiations shall surround them with the
utmost secrecy at this interesting
phase.
Not the slightest intimation of Mr.
Lind's communication has reached any
of the representatives of foreign pow
ers. It is expected, however, that as
soon as the 4 . Mexican government
reaches a decision as to whether
further overtures are to be received at
all, steps will be taken to acquaint the
representatives in Mexico of the for
eign powers with the nature of Lind’s
mission.
The same information probably will
be conveyed to the diplomatic repre
sentatives of the same powers accredit
ed to the United Statees.
’LODGE BACKS WILSON.
Senator Lodge had a long talk with
Secretary Bryan today about Mexican
affairs. In view of his formal declar
ation in the senate of his purpose to
stand squarely behind the president,
providing the Mexican difficulty could
be kept out of the field of politics, this
is believed to foreshadow a better en
tente between the Democratic and Re
publican members of the foreign rela
tions committee that existed yesterday.
Henry Lane Wilson, retired ambas
sador to Mexico, remains in Washing
ton, still undecided as to his future
movements. Mr. Wilson today also was
reflecting upon the communication
•jvhich Secretary Bryan dispatched to
Ambassador Page in London regarding
his comment upon the statement attrib
uted to the British foreign office.
Whether he will make any •urtner crit
icism in this matter probably will de
pend upon Great Britain’s answer to
Secretary Bryan’s apology, which prob
ably will be delayed until Monday or
Tuesday.
MEXICAN BORDER PROBE.
Democratic members of the senate
foreign realtions committee have deter
mined that if the investigation of
Mexican border conditions and Ameri
can financial support to revolutionists
is to be continued by the special sub
committee that worked a*ong tne bor
der last year that committee will be
reorganized so that its control will rest
with Democratic senators.
The investigation conducted last year
was under direction of Senator Smith
of Michigan and Senator Fall, both Re
publicans, who now are preparing re
ports. Prior to the end or the last
congress, Senator Smith obtained per
mission to continue the investigation In*
to the present congress.
The foreign relations committee will
determine next week as to whether the
investigation is to be carriec? on. If tne
committee is authorized to continue, it
will be reorganized so that three Dem
ocratic members will control ft, ana
its chairman will become a democrat
Several resolutions for investigation
of Mexican conditions nave been in
troduced in the senate recently, and
demands are being considered by the;
foreign relations committee in the gen-j
eral discussion involving the future otj
the work of the existing investigating!
committee. The Smith-Fall commit- |
tee was appointed under a resolution i
directing it to determine ^nether aid
had been given Mexican revolutionist®,
but its investigations covered the en
tire scope of Mexican border conditions
and the treatment of Americans in the
border states of Mexico.
Ranked at the Very Top
TAAVID RANKIN was a big farmer and he knew
A-' his business. He owned the largest corn farm in the
world, about 35,000 acres down in Missouri. He
devoted his life to the pleasant study and practice of right farming, and
he succeeded mightily, for he made $4,000,000 in the business of farm
ing. _ This is what David Rankin said about the manure spreader:
“It is the most efficient money-maker on the place.”
It’s warm praise to be ranked above all other farm machines, but it
is in keeping with what all the agricultural world has been recognizing.
Soils rebel when crop after crop is taken from them, without return of
fertilizer. Witness the abandoned worn-out farms of New England.
Return every bit of manure to the soil by the spreader method. The
I H C manure spreader will save you much disagreeable, hard labor,
will spread evenly, and will make one ton of manure go as far as two
tons spread by hand.
1H C Manure Spreaders
are built to suit you, to do best work for the buyer in every case, to
convince him that he has made the wisest purchase. Every detail in
the construction has a purpose, for which it was made after thorough
tests and experiment. They have the maximum of strength and endur
ance, and their construction bristles with advantages.
• You will find all styles and sizes in the 1 H C spreader line. They
will cover the ground with a light or heavy coat, as you choose, but

EDWARDS OFFERS RILL
FOR MILITARY HIGHWAY
Georgia Congressman Wants
Roadway From Savanna^
to Tybee
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—Congress
man Edwards today reintroduced his
bill asking for the construction of a
military highway from Savannah to
Tybee and an appropriation of $300,000,
which is sufficient to construct the road
way.
This is a pet measure with Mr. Ed
wards and he has worked hard for its
passage. Heretofore, however, condi
tions have been decidedly against him.
He seems to be more hopeful now, as his
friend, Congressman William Schley
Howard, is a member of the military
affairs committee. He and Mr. Edwards
are close personal friends, and it is
known that Mr. Howard is heartily in
favor of the project.
