Beginning July 1 the salaries of rural carriers whoso routes cover 24 miles or more were raised to $1,200 per annum. As all routes leading out from Newnan are 24 miles or over, each of the carriers on seven routes will re ceive the advance. The only excep tion is the carrier on Route 8, which was established only a short tune ago. The curriers should have received this increase a year ago, but owing to some technicality it was not allowed by the Postmaster-General.

When the Athletic scout was in Birm ingham last week he confided to W. D. Smith, president of tho Birmingham Baseball Association, that the Georgia- Alalmrnu league was the fastest class D league that he had ever seen.
