 Southern Steel Plans.
 MT. Harding announced that w. H. Has, singer, of the Southern Steel company. had today received a telegram announcing that the financial plan of the reorganiza- tion committee had been underwritten. This was received with loud applause as it was taken to mean an immediate open ing of the company's plants. lie said that another large concern will soon To- cate a big steel mill for manufacturing billets.
 Mir Harding then moved that the sena- tors and representatives from Alabama be urged to see that the tarif on Birming- ham iron and steel products is not de- creased This motion carried without a dissenting vote.
 A committee headed by ]. H. Leath of the Ensley Board of Trade was given the floor and requested that Birmingham as- sist them in a mass meeting Monday night on Greater Birmingham to explain the advantages of the greater city.
 G. B. Mccormack recalled consulta- tion held some time ago by committee of the Commercial club and the Ensley Chamber of Commerce, and asked what the committee had done MT. Harding reported that no agreement had been made, but the consensus of opinion had been that Ensley should be allowed to vote before forcing them into the city.
 Directors lndorsed 1t.
 MT. Nelson reported that the directors of the chamber had unanimously indorsed the King bill which takes in Ensley in arbitrarily MT. Mccormack declared that 1t is within the power of the people of Ensley to kill the bond issue for a new courthouse if Birmingham continues in it's effort to forcibly bring Ensley in. He said that he stood with the people of Ensley and would take his pot luck with them.
 Mir. Nelson addressed himself pointedly to MT Mccormack declaring that there is no more reason why Ensley should be left out than North Birmingham, Wood> lawn and other suburbs.
 "The Chamber of Commerce, after cares ful consideration. has indorsed this bill, and intend to stand for it until 1t is law" he declared, and continued. s'There is one thing I am sick and tired of, and that Is this eternal popping up of the selfish sentiment that, if you don't do what I want. I'll get even with you soma other way"
 A motion of J. H. Frye to accept the invitation of the Ensey Board of Trade with thanks carried and thus closed the argument .. ~--..- s..4l

Raul On Building Material.

John L. Raul spoke of the fact that building material, like window casngs and other fixtures, are shipped into the state from other states and not made here.
 MT. Raul suggested committee of ten to go to the bottom of the whole manu- featuring problem, consult with manu- facturers already here and find out just where the trouble is He made a motion to that effect which was later adopted.
 L. M Jackson called attention to the lack of cooperation among Birmingham citizens for each others business. We should get the spirit into us to help each other, and we will do far more good than we have in the past"

Galveston. March Is.
Dear Fanatics: If you think it is an
unqualified snap to travel with ball
club in a wet spring you have another
think coming.
Galveston is a seaport town, surround
ed by water and prohibitionists, who
join forces TO make it about the dreari-
est place in Texas when things are not
going right. When all the refOrmers are
at the Legislature getting through their
pet bills aimed at their private enemies
or their own political preferment and the
sun shines, Galveston is all to the merry.
This year SO many true reformers have
been caught with the goods that many
of them have left the State capital and
have hocked TO Galveston. where they
arrived with the continuously -perforEIanc ce
norther that has been hanging over the
South for the past ten days The com
bination is fierce and you can hardly
blame Cantillon If he tries his luck in
