TARGETS OF MAIL BOXES.
Frank Smith, Young White Man,
Held for Trial.

Valdosta, Ga, Aug. 1S.-Frank Smith,
a young white man from Mitchell
county was given a preliminary hear
ing before Commissioners Johnson this
morning on charge of shooting at
mail boxes in that county last Christ
mas. Several witnesses were here to
testify in the case, and it was pcoven
that Smith did the shooting. Bullets
from his weapon smashed the casting
Of the box and ruined it. Postoft!ce
Inspector w. A. Conant had the war
rant issued.
He was bound over under a bond OF
$500 to the next term of the United
States District Court. The adoption Of
rural free delivery in many Of the
counties of the state makes mail boxes
so thick along the roads that they fur
nish fine targets for those who wish
to engage in some sort of malicious
mischief.
