of tbla county la sea Island cotton. On tbl,
free and fertile gray toil the long cotton will
grow finally as well aa the short. Every bale
of it Is worth, In o goncral way, two and a
half or the short cotton bales. Cutting short
cotton at $40 per halo, you may safely put tbo
sea laland at M00 per bale. Farmers have
caught on to this Idea, end tbo mult lo on
annual shipment in round numbers of 2,500
bales from Valdosta. I‘ro< uccrs bring their
cotton from Lowndes. Echols and Clinch, bo*
aides oven Madison and Hamilton coun

have established a floe market for long cotton,
and they are drawing trade frrm o distance lu

Dr. Wiley, long In busineai boro, was the
pioneer lo tho business of cultivating long
cotton. A few yearn ago ho procured o quan
tity of ired of Improved grade., and ho dis
tributed it liberally among the farmers, pro-
posing that they just return him tha samo
amount of stod when tho crop waa harvested.
From tbla beginning has grown tho business
which has proven a trump card for Valdoota.

VALDOCTA
U ore of th* prettiest towns in the state. It
was losatcd la IP.': 1 , and within tbo last da-
cad* it baa mad* wonderful strides in enter
prise and Improvement. After oar retorn
ft*m the vineyard, we aat down to a goo 1 din
ner at Captain Well's town residence, and in
the afternoon, la company with tbie whole
aonltd gentleman, I waa drivaa over tbo town
behind a pair at spanking hey*.
Th* old Voodoo atoroi of earlier dart have
nearly all paamd away, and handsome'.rick
buildings bar* taken thstr places. Ten new
brick at<ret have been and are bong built
•luce January let AU of the them are apoken
for, to that tho investment is a good one for
tbo real estate men.
One peculiar item about Valdosta Is the
nnmber of yonng men In business. The
town is in the hands of
hands of men who hire grown to maohood
since the troublous times of the war. The re
sult la made very apparent by the air of push
snd vim that pervades tbo place. Old Potter-
son ttreet bis been walled in with brick
fronts, and they are going around the corners
at a good rate.
Tbo residence portion of the town Uaprevi-
tog rapidly: new street* are being oponad,
and tho watts place* of other days are filled
with happy home*.
Stuart'• ball is a commodious building, snd
furnishes ample accommodations for amass
ment daring the theatrical season, tod for
meetings of a public nature. Stuart's hotel
is roomy and comfortable, and thorn are two
other place* where tbo traveler is well cared
for.
Valdosta Institute la a handsome brick build
ing, situated in tho centero f on ample town.
It coat ten thousand dollars, snd is jost com
pleted.
One hundred tnd fifty students attend during
the school term, and none but tho moat compe
tent cdocour,aro employed.
After our drive I was taken charge of by
Colonel D. C. Aebley, our wide awake corre
spondent, and then Colonel Bill Griffin came
along with hla crack trotter, and I was com
pelled to go oat for a baggy dash with him In
the suburbs. That Is tha way they treat a
fellow hero. They jnet get hold of him and
never let up until tbev have shown blm all
the attractions of their oretty little town.
Hy e'ay was necessarily limited, but during
the few bout* 1 saw enough to convince me
that my alma mater bud uot been iile during
all llitse years
When the twilight fell and th* night breezes
whispered softly among tbo pines, I wended
my way to tbs cosy bomeof Colonel Wilkinson
in the west end of town. Colonel Wilkinson
Is a young man who has made for himself su
enviable place among bit fellows. His eatl-
tnaMn wife comes of trees whose high toned
generosity and hearty hospitality has always
been proverbial. Such a supper as we bed,
rounded ofi‘ with rare old wlcie, and the
sparkling wit of a party of merry yonng fel
lows, wee a something to lie treasured as a
sweet memory when darker daye aball come.
After supper we dlecutted the live issues of
the community. Some talked politics, but I
waa moat Interested in tbo conversation of
youug men intcicated In trucking, fruit and
melou growing, and other matters. Truck
and memos have panned out handsomely the
preseat season, and a* a consequence, tho bus
iness will Increase steadily.
Financially, Valdoata la well fix.-d. Lane

and bare again tha buoyant blood of ener
getic youth le apparent. Young men ran the

Brother's' handsome *place of business, sad
their banking institution has done wonders
for tbo town and surrounding country.
Valdoata does a splendid business, and the
numerous country stores aad smaller towns
get their suppllee here.
Tho limit of my journey Is reached, and
I mutt turn my face homesrard. It 1* a good
thing to have visited the wire grass. It helpe
a fellow to observe the wave of this prosper-
out people, and It is a glorious thing to have
keen the guest of tucb a folk. When tho Cov-
iogton and Mecon extension reaches Valdos
ta, I guess I will go down on a pleasure trip
once a month. M. M. F.

County.
Mt. Vebnok, Go., August 5.—[Special.]—
Tho Monitor, laued thto evening, give* the
full details of the robbery of a safe, of which
meagre report* havo been printed heretofore.
About 9 o’clock Tuesday night, July 27, five
masked men drove up to tho residence of
Sandy Wilkes, about fifteen miles northeast
of this place, with a male and wagon. Forcing
everyone on tho premises except old Sandy
Wilkes into hto honse, after Marching it for
arms, as waa supposed, they locked thorn in.
Then one of the party took ancle Sendy In
tow and marched him to the roar of the house
and made him stand with hto back to the
honse, guarding him srith cocked gun.
In the front yard stood a small house used
by Sandy Wllkee as a doctor ahop. In that
•hop stood a money safe belonging to C. A.
Mosely, one of Montgomery county’* heaviest
tax psjtra. In that safe, Mcurely locked won
tbo bard earnings of a long lire-Mvea thous
and dollan in money, bealdoa ths title papen
to all bis lauds, and a large amount of notes,
accounts end other valuable. Sandy Wilkes
bad about the aarne amount of money in ths
ufe, ond hto an had aevonl thousand dollars
la it, making eighteen thousand dollan In
cash that the nfa contained.
The rafts waa svta quickly, though not hurri
edly, lifted by the four burglars into tho
wagon. ThenStndy Wilkes wm forced into
the honse, tho door relocked, tho inmates of
tha bouts warned not to come oat till next
morning, ond the party drove away with thsir
rich prize.
Next morning a party of the neighbor*
started In purauit. The wagon was easily
tracked, as it bad rained that night and the
ground was soft. They followed It without
difficulty, aa it kept tho rood, golug in the di
rection of Loog Pond, which is seven mllea
south of Mt. Vernon. At Long Pond It left
the main road and took a settlement road for
a half mile or m, than wound ita way through
tho woods back to the public road, and down
that to tbo roaldenco of Tobe Mozo, beyond
which it could not bo traced. In Mozo's lot
was found a one-hone wagon, but no trace of
the safe. Mozo wm arrested, bnt feigned
drunkennesi, throwing tbo officer off hto guard,
and made good hto escape Thnnday night.
A mule waa found that weianppoaed to bo tho
one that]
cession oi —
promptly gave bond for his appearance at tho
committing trial, which wu ect for Monday,
August fid. Mr. Kozely has offnred a reward
of a thousand dollan for tha recovery of tho
safe and ita contents, ond five hundred for the
arrest of Mom and hto delivery to the sheriff
of Montgomery county. Theta beta aided
fuel to tho excitement which was already at
fever heat, and little otoe hu boon spoken of
by onr excited populace for now over a week.
Mr. Mozoly, though a man of wealth, to
loft in * sorry plight, three dollars and
ninety cents being all the ready cash the bur
glars left him. Hto credit, however, to good,
and be ran raise aa much money u ho wants;
and the reward of $500 trill be paid promptly
upon Mozo’s arrest. On Monday, when the
csm against Glbba came np for trial at Long
Pond, defendant asked for a continuance to a
future day for lack of hla counsel, Colonel B.
B. Cheney, who failed to put In on appearance.
The state waa repreMnted by Carswell and
8utton, and u some of tho sritneuea for the
prosecution wore gone to Savannah and would
not be back under a week, the cate wu con
tinued until next Wednesday, the defendant
put under good bond In the meantime.
