A Grand Opening.

Twenty-four years ago Mr.. Fred
rich Becker opened a modest little
grocery store on a side street in
the new town of Scotland. His
capital was small, his family large,
he had only a meager understand
ing of the English language, his
customers were pioneers, most of
them forced to do business on the
latter harvest" plan. With all of
these disadvantages Mr.. Becker
struggled. His trade gradually in
creased, and as fast as he was able
he increased his stock of goods.
He moved his store from the side
street to one of the best business
corners on Main street and still
further increased his stock and his
trade. Finally outgrowing his old
quarters he determined to build,
and the result is the handsome
building and equipment, procured
at a cost of $19, 900 which he now
occupies. To meet the demands
of his trade his stock has been fur,
ther increased and will now III
voice over SIS, 900. This magniti-
cent building and stock stands as
a monument to the business en-
terprise, economy and patient toll
of Mr.. Becker and of his sons who
for several years have transacted
most of the business. Ia order to
celebrate the event of moving into
his new building and also the Oath
anniversary of bis business career
in Scotland a grand opening was
held on Wednesday. Doyle's Harp

sisting of an aluminium plate con-
tanning c picture of the building
with the compliments of the donor,
at one side a match safe and at
the other a thermometer, was pre-
scented to each lady in attendance.
This we suppose was to typify the
business principles of Mr., Becker
keep cool, but keep the fire burn
ing. The store was crowded from
early morning until late in the
evening, probably 1900 to 1900
people having visited it during the
day. Although the opening was
intended more as a pleasant re.
ception to his customers than as a
means procuring trade, some choice
bargains were offered and a large
force of extra clerks was kept busy
during the day. In the evening
Mai. Dollard made a brief address
to the crowd in which he related
some of the interesting remini

INDUSTRIAL NEWS.

The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron com
pany will be held in Jersey City on
March 10
1t Is understood that the stockholders
will not be called upon at this meeting
to take any action to the proposition to
consolidate the Sloss-Sheffeld, the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron and the Republic
Iron and Steel companies inasmuch as
the negotiations for the consolidation will
not be in a tangible shape at that time
Considering the depression during the
last four months of 1903 the annual report
to be submitted to the stockholders will
make a highly creditabe showing.
The Wall Street Journal says:
1.-THE southern pig iron producers have
practically abandoned their effort to hold
No. Birmingham at $40 per ton for Sec
ond quarter delivery, and are meeting
northern foundry men on all cuts in
prices.
Some sales of southern pig iron as low
as SO. 25 per ton have been recorded, and
W or lower may ne IedCHeu DeIore the
second quarter requirements are salts
fled.
ut is not now a question of any one of
the southern producers breaking any yer.
bal agreement to sustain a $40 per ton
price, but of all of them taking business
around 80 per ton to prevent the north
ern iron makers controlling the market
north of the Ohio river.
'The present uncertain market is apt
to hasten the pending Negotiations for
consolidation of the southern companies,
but so complicated is the proposition that
months are expected to elapse before it
is possible to carry it through.
Meantime the southern iron makers
will have to compete with the northern
makers at the expense of price schedules
and of profits"

that republics must prevail on this side
of the earth, and that the stronger are
to protect the weak. He wanted to know
what hobgoblin disturbed the dream of
the gentleman who feared Germany would
attack the United States.
He secuted the idea that preparations
for war insures peace, and in conclusion
said:
II am unable to vote for a bill which
declares that the United States, which
should be the leader in all works of peace,
is going to double, treble, and quadruple
its naval estimate, under the assertion
that 1t is the interest of peace. You are
not going to make the world believe
this is in interest of peace He was
applauded on the minority side when he
concluded.

objects to CoaIing Station.
Mr.. w. w Kitchen of North Carolina
endeavored to have eliminated from the
bill the provision for the purchase of
land for a coalng station at Guantanamo,
raising a point of order against it.
Speaking generally on the subject of the
navy, Mr. Kitchen said he did not be-
lieve in a stand-still policy nor did he
believe in getting stampeded and run
ming wild. Guantanamo ultimately will
cost $12.000,000. He said the policy should
be to keep abreast of the growing needs
of the country.
The chair overruled the point and on
appeal the decision was sustained by a
vote of 81 to SO.
Mr.. Williams said Mr.. Burton had
tunde by asking them why, in view of
their declaration for peace in the Kansas
City platform, they had not opposed these
expenditures. He said to do this that
ships now building would rust at their
docks and that the sailors would go
unfed.
Reviewing the appropriations for the
army and navy Notifications, Mr.. Will
liams said that such large sums were
being expended for war purposes that
the river and harbor committee. of which
Mr.. Burton is chairman, could not bring
in a bill and that government buildings
could not be constructed. He said when
a country goes. "world-powering' it must
go about with chip on its shoulder and
be prepared.
