COMBINE GOOD
 FOR BESSEMER Combination of Soil Pipe Con- panies-Rumored Another
 Plant Will Be Built.

Bessemer. July 10.-(Special.) .)-The general opinion here seems to be that the consoli- dation of the majority of the soil pipe companies of the United States, among them the Alabama Pipe company Of this place, into the Central Foundry company, will be a good thing for Bessemer. There is no plant in the country that does bet ter paying business than the plant here. It has been especially prosperous the past two years, so much so, in fact, that the officials were indifferent as to whether or not the deal, which has been on foot for seven or eight months, went through. The deal was formally consummated on the first of the month since which time the company has been taking stock. There is every reason to believe that the capacity of the plant will soon be doubled. Presi- dent A. l. Dexter leaves shortly for New York to arrange the final details.
 There has been a rumor in circulation to the effect that another soil pipe plant was to be built here by St. Louis parties, who were seeking a site. These people are said to have unlimited capital at their dis posa, and have, through their representa- tives, been in consultation with real estate agent at this place. It is not be- lieved, however, in view of the formation of the trust, that the plant will be built, if indeed it was ever seriously considered.
 call has been issued for a meeting to be held Wednesday night at the city hall, for the purpose of forming a business mems organization on the lines of a commercial club. The call is signed by men who were prominent in the management of the recent very successful Fourth of July celebration. Their names follow: W. T. Kennedy w. L. Rush, T. T. Huey, J. R. Day, E. P.

As a result, exchange has jumped to rate hitherto unknown and the Guatemalan dollar now passes current at only about 20 cents To this financial disorder is attributed the ar rest of a number of leading financiers connected with the banks of the country. Some of these said to be under arrest are well-known among the Central American officials here, who say they are men of high character
 Thus far. however, the Guatemalan au- thorities appear to have kept down the for nation of any large element against the present administration and President Ce- beraa has had support from all political wings.

Selma, July 10.-(Special) )-Saturday night there was a fire out beyond the city limits, the origin of which was incendary Shortly after the fire a little negro boy came to the city and told Deputy Sheriffs Davis and Fulford that the Slaughter house, for such 1t was that burned, had been set on fire and for them to go out there. They went immediately to the scene and found that the boy had told the truth, but that he, too, was implicated in the burning. In the meantime the boy had disappeared
 Another alarm of fire was turned in from box IA today about o'clock, and proved to be the kitchen of MT. A. G. Pitner's house. All of the family and MT. Pitner are away from home, the flames originating from d barrel of lime which sat near the house. only slight damage being done.
