ILLICIT DlSTlLLERIES PULLED
Collector Logwood Working Up the Lawbreak- CTS in Cullman County-AIabama
 Brandy for 1895.

Deputy Revenue Collector John D. Logwood and Deputy Marshals John R. McMinn and w. F. Carroll captured f1fty-gallon still, together with 600 gal Ions of mash and 600 gallons of beer, two miles west of Crane Hill. Cullman county, on the night of the 18th. Bargett and Lett were arrested on the charge of operating the still and carried before Commissioner Hanlin of Cullman. The still was valued at $50.
 On the same night the officials raided and captured still of twenty-five gall Ions capacity, located two miles west of Crane Hill, in Cullman county, and arrested George Eady as the claimant. They destroyed eighty gallons of mash and eighty gallons of beer. The still was valued at $50. Eady was also car ried before Commissioner Hanlin of Gull man.
 The internal revenue collector informed the State Herald yesterday that the a~ount of brandes manufactured in the te during the year 1895, from apples, peaches and grapes will reach near 25,000 gallons, which is about 20 per cent more than was ever before made in one year in this state. Rice & Williamson of Plevna, Madison county, were the largest distillers of fruits, they having made something over 2000 gallons, which is the largest quantity ever made by any one firm in the state.

ANOTHER MOVE FORWARD.
Mobile to Have New Steamship Line, Which Will Place Her in Direct Commun-
 cation With Guatemala.
Mobile Herald Dec. 30.

Mobile Herald Dec 30.
 About the last week of January Mobile will be put in communication with Liv- ingston, Guatemala. MT. P. c. Wright of that city is here getting everything in readiness for the initlatory trip of a steamer which he proposes to run. He has chartered the steamship Managua, which will arrive the latter part of next month. MT. Wright is an American, who located in Guatemala about nine years ago. He thinks his new home is the greatest place on earth, and came near convincing a Herald reporter that he is right. If only half of what he says is true there is little doubt but that Mo- bile merchants will have a chance to reap a rich harvest in the little republic to the south of us.
 At the present time Guatemala buys the bulk of its imports from Europe, and, as Mir. Wright says, Mobile merchants can secure large part of the trade. In cotton goods alone England supplies $500, 900 worth, Germany $200,000, France 00,00O, and the United States $1000
 The class of goods used is made by southern mills and there is no reason why our merchants cannot undersell the European countries. MT. Wright lays particular stress upon the necessity of merchants packing goods just as or dered. As much of the trade with the interior is carried on mule back, 1t is absolutely necessary that all goods be packed just as ordered He is in hope that our merchants will send representa- tves down with him when he goes and investigate for themselves this new field.
 A railroad runs from the coast within a few miles of Guatemala city, and an other road runs from that city to the Pacific. Only few miles of road is needed to connect the two lines. The supplies for this road can and ought to be furnished from Mobile. When the road is completed all of the coffee trade will seek the Atlantic port instead of the Pacific, as at present. Three hun dred and seventy-four thousand dollars worth of coffee Is now shipped from LlV- ingston to New York and England.
 Mr. Wright proposes to bring most or it to Mobile for shipment abroad. LiV- ingston is but 900 miles from Mobile and has an advantage of 900 or 400 miles over Nicaraguan ports, which is quite an item in the fruit business. The bananas are exceptionally fine and plentiful ana can be brought here in three days ana half. The facilities for handling the fruit and return freights seem to be ex- cellent, the cars running alongside or the ships for the purpose. The harnor is perfectly landlocked and vessels or 22 feet draft can load and discharge at the wharf

 It seems apparent that the treasury Is to obtain no real relief from this con- gress. We expressed the opinion some time ago that the passage of the desired legislation should not be expected. We have not indulged in the hope that the congress would rise to the demands of the occasion. The members are for the most part politicians. There are few statesmen among them.
 We have the satisfaction of knowing that the president has not failed to point out the way to financial safety. He has done his duty. The responsibility for re- suits of the refusal to take his advice must fall upon those who have made the refusal

Increasing Woods Shipments.

Mobile Register.
 There has been a gratifying increase in the exports of timber and lumber from this port this season. During the first two months trade was quite dull, but ships have arrived in quick succession since, and have been given quick dis patch. We note with greatest pleasure the revival of the trade with Buenos Ayres and Montevideo. Not since the failure of the Barring Brothers have there been any exports of importance to low CT South America, but the conditions are changing for the better. During the past week we have shipped considerably more than 30O0 900 feet of lumber to the two above named countries and this, we are informed, Is but the beginning of what will be something like the old-time lucra- tive business. The River Platte country was formerly one of our best customers for yellow pine, and the long period of inactivity in our intercourse which has been suffered cannot but be followed by a corresponding period of lively demand for our products. For the first time this season the gen. eral exports of woods are in excess Of those of the same time last year, and the excess is in each division of the trade, al though largest in hewed timber exports. For the sake of comparison we have re- duced the cubic feet of timber to super ficial feet, and present a table showing exports from Mobile from September 1 up to date:
