| Must Meet C0mpetitl0n-CttieS do not grow by accident. Birmingham has been built because of it's unmatched natural ad- vantages. Atlanta has grown in spite of it's lack of natural advantages, but by reason of the civic pride and enterprise of its people. Anniston is in q situation very much like Atlanta. We are situated between the two largest cities ms sscnSn the Atonsn Sonsa and Birmingham, in measure, as well as with many other Of the smaller cities of the state and this section in our efforts to get ahead.--Anniston Star.

 Evil Of Legal Technicalities.-Missis senate has become tired of the use of teehni- calities in avoiding justice of the courts. It has passed g bill which prohibits the void ing of indictments because of the omission of words when the intent of the indictments is understandable beyond doubt. The elimina- tioh of technicalities is a short cut to justice. Precedent alone has prevented action such as Mississippi is about to take. Lawmaking bodies and courts have given more thought to precedent than they have to the protection and advancement of the peoples interests.- Montgomery Journal.

 Lynch Law Never JustifiabIe-The sooner this country realizes that lynch law is never iustifiable the better, It is true that there are times when fe looks as If our courts fail to do their duty, but this does not justify people in taking the law into their own hands and meting out punishment to thosr who commit crimes. Huntsville Star.
 No Reason For Dlscouragement.-Th for tunes of Senator Underwood suffered some what in the Gsorsia primary, but his defeat there is by no m9ans knockout. Georgia is but one of efhel Southern states, and he could not hope to have the support of them all. There were several factors favorable to McAdoo in the Heracker" state that will not show the same strength elsewhere. IES is also true that fine pre-convention showing rarely ever results in a nomination. The friends of Underwood have therefore no spe- cial reason to feel downcast because of the result in Georgia. There are other worlds to conquer and their campaign should be inten- sified-Mnscle shoals Sunday News,
 Pecans Offer Fine Chance.-There is prob ably no sort of tree culture which demands greater knowledge and service than that re- lating to the pecan, and none giving larger reward for intelligent treatment Also, 1t may be said, there is none which seems te need this sort of attention as much as does the pecan. The pecan growers will do well to organize.-Mobile Register.
