TWO NEW TOWNS IN SOUTH GEORGIA. Valdosta, Gn., February 10. — As an instance of the rapid de velopment of this section the in terest manifested in the opening of the* territory through which the Valdosta, Moultrie and West ern railroad passes, is exceeding anything of the kind ever wit nessed in southern Georgia. Two new towns have sprung up on the line between this city and .Moul trie, with a rapidity and boom rivalling that of some of the west- , ern towns in the gold days. The lirst of these towns is Cutes, 0 miles west, of here and the oth er Berlin, 27 miles from Valdosta. The latter town is owned by the railroad company, and it is pre paring to have an auction sale of residence and business lots on the 22d instant. The section round . each of these now towns is ex- j 1 remely prolific, but is undevel oped. The land tor miles stir- ; rounding Berlin, are regarded as probably the finest soil in the country for certain kinds of crops. ' In fact, the entire line of road i traverses an unusually rich sec-; turn, passing through Lowndes. Brooks and Colquitt counties. Inquiries received from people in i middle and North Georgia, as j well us in other parts of the conn-1 try, indicate t hat there will lie a j regular hegira to the new terri- | lory during this year, and t.ho prospect for the rapid growth ot the tow ns is regarded as unusual ly bright.

EDUCATION IN GEORGIA COSTS GREAT SUM. \tlanta, Feb. 18—About SL -250,u00 annually for education in Georgia! According to the report being compiled m the otlice of State School Commissioner Jere M. Pound from intoriuatiou sent m by the commissioners of the 110 enmities in t his state, it is esti mated that fully f 2.000.000 will he credited to education over anil above the annual appropriation i f 12,250,000. ’ Those reports from the county school commissioners show money devoted to educational purposes, that has never been recorded or credited to the state. This money comes from incidental fees, tui tion, bequests, local taxation,mu nicipal uid and from various other sou roes. One county—Forsyth-—for in stance, show - an increase of * 1 ,0i)0 over and above the state's appro priation. This is one of the small er counties in the state, the amounts reported from other larg er counties being correspondingly larger in proportion. When the reports have l**en compiled it is estimated that the state will find that at leasts2,ooo,oooannually is being spent for educational pur poses for which this state has nev er received credit. I A RURAL CARRIER HURT IN RUNAWAY. Last Friday, shortly after leav ing for his day's drive, Mr. John U . McCullough, carrier of Route No. 1, was badly hurt in a run away accident. On this occasion Mr. McCullough was driving a mule to his covered mail wagon, which was overturned, giving him a -cvre jostling. He sustained, among slight, injuries, a broken rib, but, is able to be out on the street-. Mr. .1. A. Mcßride, as -■.b*i Ante, has carried this route for several days. Mr. McCullough is an efficient carrier, and his in jury is to be regretted by many friend*. REVENUE OFFICERS MAKE RAID. Dalton, Bn., Feb 18—The! bigge-t, haul yet made by revenue i ilieer- in this section was that of !>■ puty Collector Spence and Rovnue Officer Camp, who, this we*-k discovered a still four miles , <*ast of Ram hurst, in Murray '■ount y, 500 gallons of the finished product, and I,(XK) gallons of beer being found. The st.ill was own il by Bill Flood, who told the ; officers that the whiskey alone would have brought him some thing like f7OO. The whisky, which was in bar rels, was carted to the L. it N. railroad and shipped to Atlanta, an ox team being pressed into ser vice. During the journey of four miles the team was stalled. The day before this stdl was found a still owned by Ab Flood, on Fort mount,uui, was destroyed. UNCLE SAM MOVES ON “NIGHT RIDERS.” Cineiirtiati, February 17. —The Hist blow struck by the In ited Si :iles against, alleged “night riders” was delivered today, when, a federal grand jury at Covington, i Ky., returned indictments against I tw, lve men of Dry Ridge, Ky., ' for conspiracy in restraint of j trade. One of the men indicted is John S. Steers, a member of tin* state legislature. The indictments charge that j the defendants conspired to pre \ *siit. VV. T. Osborne from shipping j four hogsheads of tobacco froruj Dry Ridge to Cincinnati. They I ire charged with having intimidat-1 od by threats of violence both. t)a-j borne and the station agent at j Dry Ridge.

FEB. 21. 1010 NEW AUTOMOBILE FOR LIVERY BUSINESS. The Hicks Livery Stables of this place have ordered and will soon have in service a splendid automobile, to be used in con nection with their teams. Tin shows some enterprise on the part of the young men owning this bu siness, and will be the first ma chine owned by Mt. Vernon par ties. However, before another year, the town can probably claim a number ot machines. % Mathanna Dots. Special Coi renpondiDce. Bart Gibbs was here Saturday. •J. A. Hughes was in our midst last week.
