Anniston, September 5-(Special.)-A party of railroad men were in Anniston Wednesday for the purpose of making the preliminary arrangements for the ex- tension of spur tracks to the plant of the Lynchburg Pipe and Foundry company's plant, the million and half industry just landed by the Anniston Chamber of Com merce.
 It will be several days before the sur veys on the work begin, but this will be determined at once, and work will also start within a short time on the construc- ton of the plant for the big concern. The Alabama Pipe and Foundry company. the other new pipe industry just landed. have already begun to receive orders, which are being turned out by another Anniston in- dustry. and their plant will be in operation soon, thus placing Anniston ahead of the world as pipe center.
 Editor Edmonds Attracted
 The success of the Anniston Chamber of Commerce in landing these two big in- dustries has attracted the attention of Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the Man ufacturers' Record, who wired his con- gratulations to the Anniston papers Tuesday night, stating that with large deposits of brown and gray ore in the An niston district and with large furnaces to manufacture pig for the new pipe plants, Anniston is in a position to realize the dreams of its founders.
 MT. Edmonds urges Annistonians to put forth every effort to develop the plant of the United States Cast Iron fr.xk q Is the largest car plant south of the Ohio. He says every railroad in the country will soon be short of cars and locomotives and that great oppor- tunity awaits Anniston if this plant is properly equipped and financed.
