organization of the new concern wer e
perfected.
The new concern will be operated
under the corporate name of Indus

will be managed and operated by the
present officers of the Georgia Rosin
Products Cos., one of the city’s most
substantial industrial enterprises, al
though the new plant will ba entire
ly separate and distinct from the par
ent company.
It was at first decided to operate
the new concern under the name
Georgia Chemical Products Cos., bu*.
this was later changed to Industrial
Chemical & Fertilizer Cos., when 11
was learned that there is Already a
Georgia concern similar to the name
first chpsen.
Plan's are already In course of prep I
ration for the i sory build
vicinity of t.ke present plant, and the
actual construction, work wljl be com
menced without delay. Orders will

Tb Industrial Chemical & Fertll
later Company will engage Ir. the &an

fertiliser, but will specialise In th.
pro4ni*t|on of pot auburn phosphate
by what 1b known as the Krclss pro
cess. which eliminates entirely th*
use of costly sulphuric acid, and
makes the finished product much hot
ter adapted for the use of the lands of
South Georgia.
While by far the greater part of the
product will be marketed directly to
farmers, said B. S. Brown, manager
of th e new concern, last night, potas
alum phosphate will also be produced
in commercial form for sal Q to other
fertiliser factories. The new enter
prise will give employment to a large
number of workmen, and will b* a
very material addition to the indue
trial activity of Brunswick.
it is Just such plants as these,”
said a well known cltlien last night,
•‘that develop a city along solid, de*
pendahle Hues, and the officers of the
Georgia Rosin Products Company arc
to b commended for their enterprls*
in adding this Industry to Brum*
wlck'e rapidly developing mnnufac
tertng circles “
Brunswick is at present without a
fertiliser factory of any kind, and the
new concern will therefore have a
splendid territory for the marketing
of their product* It Is certain that
Operations will be under way in time
to supply the demand in this section
for the next year.
(Application for charter will be
made in the next few days, the Incor

MEXICAN EDITOR
SHOT AND KILLED
Director of Government Com
mission Delivers Himself into
the Hands of the Police in
Connection With the Killing.
—Criticism of Official Be
lieved to be the Cause.
Mexico City, Aug. 9. —General Jose
Alessio Robles, brother of the Mex
ican minister to Spain and editor of
the newspaper El Democracla, 'was
shot and killed last evening as he
drove in an automobile through one
of the main streets In the residence
section of the city.
Five armed men took part In the at
tack which ended in the death cf
General Robles.
General Trfvino. d(h*ector, of the
federal commission revising the army
service records, placed himself at the
disposal of the police, and It Is said
he Is being held on his own recogni
sance.
The cause of the fa** l attack is
said to have been the declaration
purported to have been by Gen
eral Robles, published yesterday in
which he criticised Trevino, who had
been bitterly attacked by the news
paper El Universal for several days.
The newspaper charges against
Trevino caused him to threaten PVBx
Plaavinclnl. editor cf the Journal,
who retaliated by printing many In
terviews with prominent Mexicans
sustaining the right to criticise public
officials.
General Robles was thus quoted
yesterday morning. He no* ° Q iy a *‘
sailed Trevino as an official, but de
clared that Trevino had refused to
fight a duel with him.
Plaavinclnl published the entire se
ries of communications between him
self and Trevino, including the Ut
ter’s threat to castigate the editor for
alleged unjunst charges.
Plaavteini responded with the dec
laration that he had carried a gun and
would shoot on sight Trevino or any
of his friends who m*d* any uataward
move.
