| fraternity to the SOUTH The headquar-
ters are in Chicago, and Mr.. Turner has
spent the last 10 days Strengthening Out
matters before the meeting.
II expect over 500 delegates" he said
from all parts of the United States
| There will be delegates from both Can
ada and Mexico. as we are thoroughly
organized in North America.
THE Jovians have been In existence
| for II years, but six and a half years
| of that time the order was confined en-
| tirely to Texas. During the last four
years 1t has become a national move
| ment and has Increased from 241 to over
1000 members During this year we have
added more than 1000 new members
This exceeds the record for any other
year"
The Jovians are strictly electrical men,
including all branches of the work. Dur
ing the next few weeks they will receive
flyers in the mail of all the manu-
facturers and jobbers of the country tell

| The Jovian Bulletin just issued contains
many boosts for the convention and Bir-
mingham. Among them is the follow
ing:
About Birmingham
fo mi fnr ny
of us to think that New York and Chi
cago are rally about nine-tenths of the
whole United States. There Is only one
| Broadway There are no other stock
| yards! OF course we sometimes think
of Pittsburg-furnaces, pig iron, steel.
But, say, do you know that Alabama can
make iron and steel more cheaply than
| Pittsburg or any other city? She stands
first in the whole United States in natur-
al resources. chepness of labor, accessible
| ity of raw materials. She stands second
| In production of coke. third in production
of iron and fourth in production of pig
iron! Well, I guess now you will admit
that Birmingham Is on the map.
| why, when you come rolling into Bir-
mingham over the Frisco, you see hun
dreds of stacks belching forth great
clouds of smoke at Bessemer and Ensley,
II you come In at night you see the skies
| all aglow when the great furnaces blow
and pour and instinctively you think OF
| Pittsburg and of the Lackawanna Steel
at Buffalo.
| ION the top of Red mountain. near by,
you can stand on a vein of iron ore "a
feet thick. All around are the great coal
| fields-Warrior. Coosa, Cahaba-and
down in the valleys enough limestone &c
| flux all the ore in the world. It's won
derful country!
| II can't begin to tell you all about Bir-
mingham commercially--its lumber busi-
ness, live stock markets. cement and
clay resources-but then you are not GO
| ing to settle ,there-you are invited as a
guest for a few days. If you want tc
stay longer, I will tell you more then.
but just a word-did you ever see
them picking cotton? Well, you will be
right in the midst of it when you go to
the convention. 1t is well worth the go
ing, too Birmingham has about 10000
bales Of cotton to handle and that's going
| some.
"The Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company has about 10000 patrons
| in it's electrical department. owns 15t
miles of track, employs 1000 men and
runs $50 cars. Sam Oliver also has a
buzz-wagon! Some times he pushes II
up the hill for exercise and appetite
You'll be glad to meet Sam and the rest
