 It fs said that the remainder of this week will be consumed by the jury In probing innumerable illicit distillery cases. Whatever the dreaded "23" are doing. there Is no doubt in the mind of the oniooker that something Is going on behind the heavy oak doors. And 1t is reasonable to surnnise that the jury Is obeying Judge Jones behest to economize In time and consequent ex- pense to Uncle Sam. for the crier was on the jump all day Thursday. showing that the witnesses are examined with utmost dispatch.
 A number of nonresident Govern- ment officials are in the city incident to the session of the grand jury. Among them are. Deputy Marshal A. J. Coll Her of Brundidge: Deputy Collectors of internal Revenue W. W. Battle of Jack ksonyilie, John R. Ware of La Grange. Ga. and E. N. Winters of Do- than.

 Mr. Taft's utterances respecting Nicaragua, though considered in ofIl- cial quarters as rather vague. are ta- ken to mean that the United States will restore order in the republic. an outcome which will be to the advan- tage Of German trade and German pos sessions there. Germans have nineteen business houses in Nicaragua and nearly S2,000,0o0 invested in planta- 9Ions, while considerable trade with the republic is done indirectly through German houses in Guatemala.
