Knights of Pythias Temple.

w. T. Parker, chairman of a commit tee appointed by the local Knights of Pythias to request the cooperation of the Commerc club in their effort to secure the state temple for Birming ham, which is to be erected by that order, was called upon by President Wood. MT. Parker stated that the location was to be decided upon by the grand lodge at it's meeting in Tusca ~ loosa next month; that three cities Birmin gham, Mobile and Montgomery would be in the race. The race, how ever, he stated, is very apt to lie be- tween Birmin gham and Montgomery, as it costs from $2500 to $3000 more to hold a state meeting in Mobile than either of the other two towns.
 There would be 400 delegates to the state convention while the grand lodge is made up of men from every part of the state. All state meetings will be held in the town winning the temple.

For Engineers Convention.

T. S. Pounds, a member of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, was called upon for a talk on the proposition to bring the convention of this order to Bir- mingham in 1910. MT. Pounds explained that the national convention was held once in every two years, with $40 dele- gates in attendance. Practically all dele gates would bring several members of their families with them, making the total number of visitors range from 25O0 to 30O0, and the convention would be in ses- sion from three to four weeks These people, explained Mir. Pounds, would pay all of their own expenses, the amount ex- pended by them here during their stay ranging from $75.0O0 to s100, GOO, the only thing not paid for as a rule being the convention hall, which is generally fur nished by the city.
 Continuing, MT. Pounds said that Bir- mingham had put up strong fight at the last convention for this years meeting, which is to be held in Columbus O., dur ing the month of May. and tha. ..ace then the local engineers i1ad been busy lining up the southern delegates for Bir- mingham. The help of the Commercial club was desired, MT Pounds stating that with this help he believed the convention could be secured easily. He also stated that the Brotherhood was thinking of es- tablishing permanent headquarters, and that Birmingham would make a strong bid for 1t. This would bring all the head offices here, including the insurance de- partment, which would mean a balance of from s2,5OO0e to sS,OOO.O0 to be carried in the Birmingham banks.
 Upon motion of c. w. Ufford, chairman of the convention committee, the club de- cided to help and President Wood named the following members of the club as a committee to cooperate with MT. Pounds in securing this convention: G. B. Me- CormaclI, R. N. Rhodes, E. w. Barrett, J. J. Smith, J. ". Mcqueen, F. M. Jack son and A l.. F'ulenWider.
