WELCOME TO PRINCE HENRY.
Emperor william CongratuIates His
Royal Brother.

Berlin, Feb. 13.-Prince Henry of Prus-
sia, brother of Emperor William, arrived
here to-day. His return was a signal for
popular holiday. Many houses were
hung with flags, including the American
and British embassies and consuIates and
the usually unresponsive citizens cheered
wildly. The weather favored the popular
reception, being sunny and mild, although
the snow was deep.
AT the banquet this evening in honor of
the Prince Emperor William said;
'Your Royal Highness. my dear brother,
Fatherand. Two years ago l sent you
out to accomplish your task in the Far
East, and could only ask God to give you
protection and success in the work. Your
joyous and enthusiastic reception at the
hands of all classes in my capital is proof
of the loving interest with which the
whole people have followed your now hap
PLY fulfilled task The recognition has,
however, "A deeper significance. 1t is an
indisputable index finger indicating how
thoroughly the German people compre-
hend the necessity of strengthening our
sea power. The German people and
princes are at one with the Kaiser in
the intention to erect new landmark
try in the creation OF feet adequate to
it's requirements.
Returning home you find a thriving
baby boy in the arms of your wife. May
you as sponsor of the new growth of our
young fleet see him grow into full
strength under Gods protection. Hochl

NEW DISTRICT NOT NEEDED.
JUDGE sPEER's LETTER TO JUDI
CIARY COMMITTEE.

He Discourages the Establishment
of n United states District Court at
ValdOsta-Snys the Business Is Not
Sufficient to Warrant It-Congress-
man Brantley, However, win
Press His BiiI-CIhims Made in Be
half of "A New Court.
Washington, Feb. 13-Friends Of Rep
resentative Brantley's bill providing for
the establishment of an additional fed
eral court in the Southern district Of
Georgia are disappointed at the tone Of
a letter which Judge Emory Speer Wrote
to the judiciary Committee on the sub
ject.
The bill is now pending before a sub
committee, of which Representative Lit
tlefeld of Maine is chairman, and the lat
ter wrote to Judge Speer for information
as to the necessity for another United
States court in that district.
In reply Judge speer took strong
grounds against the proposed bill. While
commencing that section of the state in
which Valdosta Is located Judge Speer
says the business of these counties inter
ested in the United States Courts would
hardly warrant the establishment of an
additional court. He points out that 1t
would entail extra work and extra ex-
pense upon the judge, which, with all
due respect to the wishes of Valdosta
and the surrounding counties, he does not
regard as necessary.
Judge Speer's letter may have sufficient
weight with the committee to defeat the
BILL but Mr.. Brantley will continue to
press ii just the same.
The geographic reasons for an additional
court at Valdosta, it is considered, are
many. A glance at the map shows that
there is no court In all that growing sec
tion of Southwest and Southern Georgia,
south of line drawn from Columbus to
Savannah. This Is the section of the
state in which there has been of late years
the greatest development, and in every
way il is one of the most progressive sec
tions of the South.
Most of the nineteen counties which 1t is
proposed to embrace in the new division
are entirely tributary to Valdosta, but are
at least accessible to the Lowndes me-
tropols. The proposition to establish a
court there has the warm Endorsement OF
the members of the bar of that section
of the state.
Congressman Brantley will press the bill
and IL Is not probable that anything will
be done until the recovery of Representa-
tive Fleming, who is a member of the sub
committee

ABANDONING THEIR POSTS.
British Are Chafing Under Necessity
of Giving Them Up.

Rensburg, Feb. 13.-Yesterday's retire
ment of the western outposts included the
withdrawal from Coles kop and all the
surrounding posts.
The Beers placed a forty-pounder at
Bastard's Mex commanding the surround
ing country, and successfully shelled the
British positions. The Beers numbered
some thousands and were five to one
wherever fighting occurred.
The British are chatting under the ne
cessity of retreat from their posts, some
of which they had held since the new
year. The British now have no camp
west of Rensburg.
They safely brought off the guns from
Coles kOp.

ATLANTA's PUBLIC BUILDING.
Half a Million Asked for Improving

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Clay and
Congressman Livingston have introduced
simultaneously a bill providing for the
appropriation Of half a million dollars to
secure such additional lands and make
such additions to the present postofice
building at Atlanta as may be necessary,
1t was the original intention TO ask for
a new building, to cost N,000.000, but It
seems that the Atlantlans controlling the
most available site got their figures so
high that the treasury department officials
came to the conclusion that the best thing
to do would be 10 condemn land adjon-
ing the present site and make over the

Washington. Feb. 13.-The only subject

President is in search of a Southern man
as a member Of the commission, but that

While the President would like to ap-

William Allen White draws a most In,

Hanna. says the writer, Is intensely
human. There is nothing god-llke,
nothing demoniac, nothing cherubic.
nothing serpentine about him. He is a
plain man, who stands In the last ditch
with his friends, and fights his enemies
to the death. He enjoys a good joke,
good fellow, or good dinner; and.
II possible. likes all three served at
the same table Often he wins bril-
liancy, sometimes loses conspicuously,
makes a fool OF himself occasionally,
laughs at II good-naturedly, and does
1t over again, even as you and l.. He
has on his bones the clay of the unex-
pfainable old Adam-rich in weakness
and strength, graces and foibles. and
withal he has the philosophy which
sustained the shepherd OF Arden. So
his strength is more than his weakness.
Tor he has the virility OF common sense.
He Is not happy crocheting tides and
adopting ringing resolutions. He Is
man Of deeds rather than Of explana-
tions.
Hanna Is not a man of exalted ideals.
Between his purpose and his execution
his path lies In a straight line. II gen.
tlemen In spectacles come along the
path. stretching across strings OF ethi-
cal obstacles, and planting In 1t the
potsherds OF transcendental philosophic
scruples Hanna pushes forward to his
