TWO VISITORS WILL
 DEPART TONIGHT. Grenfell, However, Remains
 Until Tuesday INSPECTION IS FINISHED Visit Hns Revived Merger Rumors But Nothing Is Given Out to ln-
 dicate What Plans Are
 Under Way
INSPECTION IS FINISHED

The visit Of Chairman John A. Topping of the Republic company. T. w. Guthrie, president of the Republic company, and Cecil Grenfell of the Southern Iron and Steel company. is drawing to close. The Republic officers will leave today for their homes in Pittsburg and New York. Mir. Grenfell is expected to be in Birming- ham until Tuesday, when he will leave for London, where he has been overdue for the past three weeks.
 The officers, with the exception of MT. Grenfell, spent yesterday inspecting the ore mines of the Republic company. They left here early yesterday morning on a special train and did not return until late yesterday afternoon. On this trip they were accompanied by W. A. Greene, local manager for tine Republic.
 It has been many years since the prop critics of industrial companies here have received such a careful and thorough of fcial inspection. In addition to looking over their own properties the visitors have carefully looked over those owned by other companies.
 The inspection has been general The furnace, coal ore, steel and other proper ties of three large companies have been undergoing the tests applied by the visit ing experts
 No one knows the final net result of the inspection. A great many persons believe that a merger is imminent between the Sloss and Republic company with the Southern Steel coming In a probable third However, the officers while here have maintained the, greatest reticence in regard to their plans.
 It is quite well known that John W. Gates has recently been. conferred with relative to the proposed merger. In add- tion to his own officers two prominent bankers of New York were with him talk ing over the merger scheme. Taken as a whole the merger proposal may culminate in a really big company within the coming few months.
 The visiting officers are well pleased with all physical conditions here. They announce candidly that all the properties are in first rate shape and indications point to operations with fine results this season.
 Cecil csrenfell of the Southern Steel was busy yesterday auditing some records of the company He was engaged in this work with Vice President Bowron. Vice President Keiser, and other officers of his company He said that nothing was vet ready for publication concerning the plans of the officers.

WARNING ON A PEST.
National Assault on the Dangerous
House Fly.

The house fly must go. Years ago
science discovered that this filthy in
sect was a dangerous dissemination of
disease and the public has rapidly
learned to protect the home, especially
the kitchen and dining room, from its
Entertainments. But war is now de-
clared upon the, fiy's very existence.
The American Civic Association has
taken the matter up, with headquar-
tiers in Washington, and the Depart
ment of Agriculture is planning a
countrywide crusade aided by an army
OF laborers and no end of drugs and
chemicals
The campaign will be started in the
country districts, where the flies in the
past have been permitted to multiply
without molestation. A special farm
ers' bulletin is being prepared by the
bureau which will give valuable fly
killing recipes and tell of the various
diseases spread by the fly.
One feature of the campaign will be
moving pictures, which will be used
by lecturers all over the country to
show the enormous mischief the fly
is capable of
