ANNISTON

Anniston, August 5-There is an almost incessant whir of machinery in the plant of the Anniston Ordnance company these days. The n.y. electric furnaces are turning a steady stream of steel billets into the machine shops and the high speed lathes are turning out shells by the hundred daily.
 The plant has reached a state of eff ciency that is most satisfactory to the stockholders of the company and at the same time guarantee of it's continued success and development
 On Monday of this week two or more carloads of shells were shipped, two carloads are now ready for shipment, and four more will be ready either the latter part of this week or the first thing Monday
 The inspectors are now accepting the shells at the rate of about 350 day and although inspection is close, few shells are rejected, as the machines have been adjusted so closely and the mechanics have become so efficient that there Is hardly hairs breadth difference in the size of any two shells, nor an ounce diff ference in the weight.
