Brewton September 15-(Special) 1.-The logging road of the Cedar Creek Mill company is gradually being pushed to- ward Andalusia. The road will even tualy be completed to that point and connect with the Central of Georgia, which has terminus there. This will give Brewton improved freight facilities, and be of great advantage to this sec tion of country. One of the features of the Cedar Creek road which will likely be installed in the near future is a large gasoline motor car with a capacity of nine passengers which will be run on regular schedule between Brewton and Fishpond. and tap other places along the line the road progresses toward it's prospective destination. The section of country traversed by the Cedar Creek road is rapidly settling up and recently a new enterprise in the way of a brick yard of large capacity has been started at Fishpond and the putting on of this car would be great convenience to parties living in that section and others having business there. At present the mail to that point has to go a roundabout way,
 
 tance of eighteen miles. and with the n- stalling of this car and a regular sched- ule it is expected the mail would be for warded by this route and Fishpond be made a distributing point for mail to places farther up the country, which now have inadequate facilities. By the pres ent mail arrangement it takes about four days to get mail to some places in the eastern part of the country from Brew ton. it having to go by Evergreen and Brooklyn, in Conecuh county, and then back to it's destination. and the arrange ment is very unsatisfactory and much complaint is made from Bradley and oth- CT places having to undergo this incon- venence in mail schedules.
