Nobody, an far as the innorters of The Cos stitl tion could learn, has taken any step to hinder tbe granting oi licenses by the council. In this connection a secret, which is longer a secret, may he told.

And it has momen tons significance at this time. i no saloon in any residence part of the Why? Because the Hon. Tyler Cooper, mayor ol the city or Atlanta, says so. And says so emphatically He said to a few friends, some time before the election, that should the anti proUUtion tots win the fight, he would veto every license granted oy tne council to a saloon the residence parts He made this pledge voluntarily: took this position vrtthent suggestion treat anybody.

First, common sulphur is placed in torge ovens especially prepared for theprtrpose and burnt. The fnmas arising from tha born. stupnor passes into a large chamber or 200 feet long by ftftv feet wide and as many high. Here the fumes come in contact with steam and to precipiatted in the form of snlnfaurlo acid. This acid must reach a cer tain degree of strength before can be made available fox further All the obneorkms rrnssrm that arian from this action pass through a large coke tower i out ot a high chimney, so they may not ve hurtful to any one.

This company has wise in so locating ineir iactory avoid anv tronhte in this manner.

The sulphuric acid and the pulverised rock are mixed by means of machinery and thus the composition known as acid phosphate to formed. To make the ammoniated goods, this acid phosphate is mixed in proper portions with cotton seed, blood and other ingre uients.
