incaluable good to Birmingham, to Ala bama, to all the country, for it would more fully than anything else possible impress the world with our riches The exposition Is grand conception, and all Birmingham and Alabama will work for its accomplish ment"
 Most decidedly am in favor of the Age Herald's suggestion, for I think the expo sition would have enormously beneficial ef- feets," said John London:
 Major Frank Y. Anderson, former presi- dent of the Commercial Club, and manager of several hundred thousand acres of valu- able mineral, timber and farming lands, prepared the following endorsement of the great proposition which he will introduce in the Commercial Club next Friday:
 With the assurance of the construction,
 within a short time of the Is'thmian Canal,
 and the certainty that within few years,
 possibly by 1902, the Birmingham district
 will become the greatest as well as 1t Is at
 present the cheapest iron and steel pro
 ducing region in the United States, this
 club believes it Is all important that we
 should show to the world at large, and especially to those countries tributary to the Isthmian Canal, our great possibilities as an iron and steel center.
 Tt is therefore, recommended that an international and metallic exposition be held at the city of Birmingham during the fall of 1902, and that a committee be ap-
 pointed composed of fifteen members (of
 which the president of this club shall be
 chairman) to devise the best method of car
 rying out this idea, and also to consider the
 advisability of seeking add for this great
 enterprise in the shape of appropriations from the State and Federal governments"
 The Birmingham News For 1t The Birmingham News, ever in favor of
 the progress and development of Birming-
 ham, gives its cordial support In line of
 the Age-Herad proposition. The News of yesterday afternoon said:
 Tn another column the News prints a copy of a resolution which Maj. F. Y. Anderson will introduce at the next meet ing of the Commercial Club, suggesting the holding of a great International and Metallic Exposition in Birmingham in the fall of 1902. He will seek to have the club adopt the resolution, which provides for the raising of a committee of fifteen, with President w. H. Kettig of the Commer- | cial Club as chairman, to devise the best means for carrying out the idea and also to take steps to secure state and federal financial aid.
 ''The suggestion Is a most excellent one, and should be fayorably acted upon. An industrial and metallic exposition of the scope and character proposed would adver- tise to the world Birmingham's marvellous resources and the progress of their devel- opment as they have never been exploited before, and it would be of immeasurable value to the whole state and the entire South. A period of two years would af- ford time in which to make all prepara- tions, and in order to insure the complete success of the enterprise the work should be entered upon at once.
 ''The News has no doubt that state and federal appropriations could be secured, for such an exposition would be of nation al and international import Let the movement be pushed"
