Inere are several gentlemen in the city
who would take the opera house at 4
fair rental by the year, and the city
would Dc making money by the opera

The city council has taken that fay-
orable action on the question as to the
agreement to submit The building of the
city ball to tue people at the coming
slectlon In April. The proposition, so
lar a. we have heard it discussed, will
very likely carry. Some have objected
ON the ground that it would Increase
their taxes. At the same time Is per
cent OF these individuals would most
likely contribute fair sum of money to
some individual who wanted a bonus to
put up an opera house, and would not
give any thought to an increase of
taxes. Why wouldn't he be doing a
better service to his town by contribut-
ing less amount in his taxes and per-

The REPUBLICAN trusts that spirit
OF liberality will enter the hearts of the
people on election day and endorse the
erection OF building that will be

citizenship of the town. A city that
builds itself up is one that attracts the
attention of outside investors quick
er than anything else.

AA1lMERIclN HELPING
THEM TO ORGANIZE
British iron and steel Manufacturers
To Be Brought Together In a
Trust.

NEW YORK, Oct 23.-The project
ed amalgamation of the business inter
ests of the largest iron and steel man
ufacturers in the United Kingdom, has
so far escaped observation, says the
Tribune's London correspondent The
formation of the United States Steel
Corporation was the signal for similar
concentrations of capital in Europe.
The German ironmasters and steel
manufacturers. under the leadership
!! of the Krupps, have been endeavoring
to organize an industrial combination
and the Belgian mine owners and iron
and steel manufacturers have been
moving in the same direction. The in
terests of both those countries are
centered in a few hands, and these
combinations while not yet effected,
are easy in comparison with the Anal
gamation of British iron and steel
manufacturers. whose interests here
are o tremendous magnitude.
Protracted negotiations have been
required. but a combination is being
arranged by a group of the largest
iron and steel manufacturers of the
north and south, with the help of an
American organizer This combina-
ton will control the manufacture of
rails in the United Kingdom and will
have a cash capital of E20.O0O,OOO
without a drop of water: and when
another group of large manufacturers
CT iron and steel. with whom negotia-
lions are now in progress is drawn in,
the capital will be increased to 49,
900 ,000
The American organizer is John r.
Bartlett. who affected not long ago a
combination in the oil manufacturing
trade and won the confidence OF
large group of English capitalists by
his skilled and practical intelligence
in conducting operations. He visited
during the spring nearly all the inn
portant iron and steel works of the
United Kingdom. and after looking
over the ground and meeting the mas
tiers of the iron and steel industry. he
submitted to them a plan for effecting
a combination of their business inter
ests.
These proposals were accompanied
by a preliminary memorandum of the
scheme OF combination worked out
with seeision and painstaking care.

would be formed to underwrite and
furnish all the cash required for the
successful organization of joining IT.
There have been many conferences,
and the manufacturers. while intense
ly interested. have wanted time for re-
lection. MANY of the most important
iron and steel concerns in the Unit
cd Kingdom now have the whole mat
ter under consideration. While the
organizer Is an American, the project
ed enterprise is exclusively English.
and is not connected IN any way with
the United States Steel Corporation.

American combination in the same In
dustry. but as a necessary measure
of mutual protection and self-defense

the WAY for similar movements among
English mine owners. shipping lines
and textile trades and even railways.

AS q people, we have cause
to be proud Of the Bank of
Wayne. Read the magnificent
showing the bank makes; thus
sustaining the substantial truth
OF the oft announced claim of the
ARGUS, that we go forward.
1t is an old saying, however,
that beneath every pleasure there
turks q thorn. In this connection,
while writing with pride of the
bank statement, we have to re-
cord the resignation Of it's efici>
ent and universally popular Pay
ing-Teiler, Mr.. Chas. N. Edger-
ton, than whom there was surely
never q more courteous, correct
and popular teller in any bank,
AMI to say that he will be missed
by it's army of customers and his
absence be a source of abiding
regret to them is but to pay him
the just tribute his resignation
calls forth from the people of
this community. But the busi-
ness Of his father, Capt. J. B.
Edgerton, has grown to such pro-
portions in many sections of this
State and South Carolina and
Florida as to require the undiyid-
ed assistance of one thoroughly
conversant with it's varied minu-
tia and wide compass, and there
fore Mr.. Edgerton retires from
the bank to give his services to
his fathers affairs, feeling that
his first duty lies in that direc-
ton, while at the same time the
chaoge carries with it more in
opportunities of advance
ment.
