Fertilizer From Tfce Air.
It sounds good to hear from the
Dukes that the Southern Power Com
pany will at a near date produce
fertilizer from the air, by an electro
chemical process having already
under construction, mammoth power
plants for obtaining immediate re
sults. The company announces that
it has been working to this end since
Hydro-electrical developments be
came a verity. The result of this
discovery is possibly the greatest
boon that has heretofore fallen to the
good luck of the farmer. And it is
vouched for, the farmer may operate
his own plant, producing fertilizer,
practically at his door. The great
results which may be obtained seem
almost inestimable. High Point En
terprise. T

There is an immense difference between a tonic and a

NEW ENTERPRISES
FOR SCOTLAND NECK.
There is a Plan on Foot to Build a
Railroad to The River.
A BIG SAW MILL TO MOVE TO TOWN.
We are pleased to record this
week that Scotland Neck is soon to
have another enterprise that will
mean much to the business interest
of the town.
The Bowers-While Lumber Com
pany has bought a large tract 'of
timber across Roanoke river and will
soon begin the work of cutting it
out. In order to get at this timber
the lumber company will have to
build about four miles of track.
Mr. W. H. White, representing
the Bowers-White Lumber Company,
said to the merchants and business
men of Scotland Neck that if they
would furnish $2,000, or-build two
miles of road, he would locate his
plant here and give the town the ad
vantages of the large pay-roll.
A meeting of the Merchants Asso
ciation was held Thursday night and
enough money pledged to secure the
road and plant.
The plan, as we understand it, is
to build a six-mile road to some
point on Roanoke river, possibly
to Smith's landing, on W. E. Smith's
farm, where the logs will be brought
across the river and then to the saw
mill in Scotland Neck.
This move is going to mean much
for our town and community. Be
sides adding a pay-roll it will soon
open a freight line from Norfolk
that will lower our freight rates ma
terially. This can be done by the
Norfolk Southern railroad extend
ing their steamboats on up Roanoke
river from Plymouth.
We are anxious to see these enter
prises carried through, and The
Commonwealth, with its shoulder
to the wheel of progress, stands
ready to push.
Let everybody get busy and talk
and work for the town, and we will
not only secure the saw mill and six
miles of independent railroad, but
we will soon add several other new
enterprises that will help the town
and everybody here.
