 Belongs to All AIabamians. -Birmingham has been, and is, one of the fastest and best growing cities in all the South It belongs to all of us Alabamians, and we are proud of it's wonderful progress. She needs only to look out for Greater Huntsville-destired to be the greatest city in the world with the coming of Ford; and if the Detroit manufac- turer never gets here, the rest of the country is going to have to hustle to keep ahead of us, anyway.-Huntsville Times.
 Quinn's Hearty Endorsement.--I. T. Quinn, the efficient game and fisheries commis4 sioner, had very hearty endorsement at the primary. He defeated his nearest oppo- nent, Mr. Kimbrough, who came within six. ty-two votes of defeating the former com missioner, John H. Wallace.

 Underwood's Plain English.--We hope the critics of Senator Underwood, who have ! berated him for failure to definitely express himself in the senate in favor of the Ford ; offer are now satisfied.

The senator is not only for the Ford offer himself, but is using his influence to secure its acceptance Florence News,
 Ex.Governor Kilby Rack Home Former Governor Thomas E. KiIby has just com pleted a tour of the old world, visiting many cities and scenes of historic interest, and is now back under his own wine and shade tree' at Anniston. Governor Kilby's record as governor of Alabama will long be recoS- nized as a bright chapter in the public life of the state marking the initiation of many and constructive activities f whose benefits will be enjoyed in the years to come. Governor Kilby at the close of his administration announced that he would not seek political office again, but he should bs made to forego such a disinclination. The 2 state needs the services of it's forward-look. ing. clear-thinking courageous citizens in places of responsibility and Governor Kilby should be drafted if he does not volunteer to help in solving the problems of the govern ment and in carrying the commonwealth to higher and better things-Selma Times.
