DISTRICT CONVENTION
Knights of Pythias of Steel City Pro-
pose to Entertain Delegates to
SemiAnnual Gathering.
Notes and Personals.

Ensley. August -(special)-The build
ing of the new steel mill has revived some
interest in the organization of CONNER
cial or industrial club among the busi-
ness men of the city, and it is very likely
that the movement will take active form
as soon as the political campaign is over.
The people of Ensley are just now very
much interested in the election of Dr.
r. M. Cunningham to the governorship
and this is taking up most of the spare
time of the people who would take an
interest in commercial organization. s.
3. Conner, also candidate for governor
has many friends here who are equally
interested In his nomination, ana are
about as active as the friends of DR..
Cunningham.
1t is pointed out that the new steel
plant will naturally attract other indus
tries to the Birmingham district. and I'M
less Ensley Is active in advancing the
advantages of the Ensley district these
concerns may be located in other sections
of the district. Ensley has many natural
advantages besides being admirably sit
uated in the district for most all kinds
of manufacturing plants, and it is be-
1leved that many new and important con-
Germs could and would be located here If
the people make the proper effort TO Sc
cure them.
The increased manufacture of steel in
the district naturally calls for the manu-
facture of other finished products in the
district, and it is believed that the day
is not far distant when many small man
ufacturing plants engaged in the produce
Of Aafgh Cd CT aF,la1 pfltc will hn
located in or near Ensley.
