 quarters in this building and are a perm anent force here. They come because Birmingham Is the natural and central headquarters for all organizations doing business, or expecting to do business in the south, and are welcome.
 The committee of this club appointed for such purpose has succeeded In get ting the reunion of the Confederate Yet erans for the year 190S to be held in this city. The committee took this natter up and worked upon the same diligently and undestandingly, and, against consd- erable opposition, succeeded. The reputa- tion of Birmingham as convention city will be tested by its ability to handle this great assembly, and, in addition to the Confederate Veterans, we also will have with us, at the same time, the Sons of Veterans Each of these will bring thousands of visitors to Birming ham, either in or outside of the several organizations
 A committee will be appointed for the purpose of getting everything in readiness for this great gathering
 Birmlngham's great need at this time Is the location of new industries, and special committee has been appointed on this subject. The milestones of our growth have already been set with mills and furnaces, and the lesser mark should be fixed with smaller industries This city has so very many elements that are necessary to the development of such un- dertakings, and which are not known to the outside world, that this committee will take proper steps to have them duly advertised.
 Cruiser Birmingham.
 The launching of the cruiser Blrming- ham was an event during the past month to which this city should always proudly refer. The occasion was very much en- hanced by the distinguished company from this city, which assembled in order to aid In the function, and who repre- sented this club on that occasion. The boat was christened as you all know, by Miss Mary Campbell of this city, and Secretary Babb Is reported to have made the speech of his life in the glowing de- scripton of this city and it's attract'ons.
 Commercial Club of EnsIey.
 The Commercial club of Ensley has opened on very prosperous career and has honored this club by naming your president and secretary as honorary mem bers of that club. The honor Is, of course, rendered to this club more than to the officers. and is a proper one to be recip- rocated not only as to the Commercial club of Ensley, but as to like organiza- tions in the Greater Birmingham district, in order that there may be more com munca tion and a more perfect spirit of brotherhood among like organizations here.
 Ironmasters of the South.
 Our talented townswoman. Miss Ethel Armes, is preparing a history of the iron masters of the south, which necessarily and in great measure, refers to many of the leaders of this district. The club has aided and assisted her in all ways possible, and will do so in future. It is valuable to set down the historical data which we have now at hand, in order that future generations may have at hand the inception oI this great industry in this district
 Senator Morgan.
 Our greatest honorary member, Sena- tor Morgan, has been called to his re- ward. During his most useful life he has been the friend of this club in many ways. and the proposed Morgan canal. with which his name in connection with this club is linked has a standing com mittee for it's promotion and development. So many years of his life were gi~en to his country and to his people that it scarcely befts us to mourn that more were not granted, but we cannot think of his call without feeling that the mightiest tree of the forest has at last succumbed to old age. His foremost thoughts were of the commercial de- velopment of Alabama.
 Taxing Foreign Money.
 Your committee upon the above sub feet has been constantly at work and will make further report to you this even ing. Let us not abate our assistance to them at all points, in order that their efforts for repeal or modification of the present law may be crowned with sue cess.
