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 tories lnouue .aimnai, ■ * » nineiai products, while sulphuric and 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 “SPY” IN LOBBY PROBE IS 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 which accused McDermott received some $7,000 of fund, raised by local OF BULLETS ms PfilSOJEBIS FREED Constable Robert Sears, of Montgomery, Shoots Negro 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.

INCREASED RATES ON CANTALOUPES SUSPENDED (By Associated Tress.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—Increases on freight rates on cantaloupes from Kansas, New Mexico and Colorado to eastern markets, proposed by Santa Fe railway have been suspended by the in terstate commerce commission until 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.

FRIENDS OF SULZER RALLY TO SUPPORT IN ms NEGOTIATIONS Classy Tailor Made Suits FREE HIDDEN IN WELL, HOLDER 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.” Presentment Delivered Is Pre liminary, However, and Will Be Followed by Others Going More Into Details I 1 Air Woman Falls 200 Feet; Laughs at Fear MINEOLA, L.

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 always evenly, up hill or down. There are high and low machines, with steel frames, endless or reverse aprons, but always giving best possible service. Tractive power is assured by position of the rear wheels well under the box, carrying nearly three-fourths of the load, and by wide-rimmed wheels with Z-shaped lugs. These and many other things will interest you if you look the I H C spreader line over at the local dealer’s and will convince you that an I H C is the spreader for you to buy. There is one for your exact needs. Read the catalogues that the dealer has for you.

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.
