AMERICUS CASE OF INTEREST

Interest in Americas attaches to the
converting of the United States court
at Macon for the regular fall session
on Monday, Judge Emory Speer, pre-
siding. The court is engaged this
week in disposing of matters in equity
and bankruptcy cases, in which the
services Of Jury are not required.
One of the first acts of the court was
to draw the grand jurors, who are to
investigate cases of criminal nature
together with other business coming be
fore that honorable body. While the
number of grand jurors drawn has
not been announced it is understood
that the names of Americas citizens
are among them The affairs of the

indicated, notably at Flushing.
Forts Finally We're Begun.

The Dutch government demurred,
undoubtedly fearing that if it did build
this fort at Flushing, it would be seiz-
ed by German army or naval force,
and be used by the kaiser against
England and Belgium. Every possible
delay was resorted to by the Holland
ers, who lived up to their national rep
utation for being of a very phlegmatic
character.
But under constant prodding from
Berlin they finally were obliged to vote
the money for the purpose, and to
commence building the forts. They
are not completed, nor have they re-
ceived any armament.
