mergers and trusts and their injurious
effects on the general welfare. These
gentlemen and companies they repre-
sent do not expect to control cotton
manufacturing, nor oppress labor, nor
enhance values beyond a reasonable
profit. They do expect to eliminate
ruinous competition, to furnish en-
ployment to large number of our popu-
lation at fair and just wages, and to fur
nish to the public the very best quality
of goods trade may demand. They are
working along conservative lines and the
consummaton of their plans will prove
a blessing and no. curse to the COM
munity in which they dwell and labor.
'The company that will be formed to
acquire certain properties will be
known as the Southern Textile Com
pany.' According to the plan under
which they will be operated there APP
pears the following clause: No plant or
business shall be purchased, however,
in the organization of the new company

as to desirabllity of purchase and as
to propriety CT price of the following
named persons: Geo. A. Gray, S. B.
Tanner, Jno. w. Fries, c. G. Latta anu

mittee will select the more desirable and

Dover, about forty miles below this city,
on the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail-
road, was visited at midnight last night
by burglars. The wrecked safe in the

ample proof that professionals did the
work. Clothing was strewn over the
store this morning when Mr.. Wilson
came down. to open his doors. Upon
examination it was found that he safe
had been demolished by dynamite and
that $3.50 was missing from the cash
