Bitter Criticism of Press on
“Divine Right” Speech.
AN ALL-ABSORBING TOPIC
: Every Shade of Disapproval is Voiced
By Press, From Mild Regret to
Mockery es the Emperor’s Alleged
Absolutist Pretensions.
The now famous speech of Emperor
William at Koenlgsberg, With its
openly'-expressed belief in the divine j
j right of the Prussian king and his [
I choice, not by people's assemblies, but I
1 by God, Continues to be the theme of
; the most excited discussion in the
newspapers. The monarchist organs
are divided in their views of the em
peror’s utterances, some of them tak
ing a stand in opposition to his view,
so that quite four-fifths of the German
press are united in criticism of the
sovereign.

EMPEROR WILLIAM.
Every shade as disapproval Is
voiced from mild regret to mockery j
of the alleged absolutist pretensions 1
of the emperor.
The inquiry is everywhere raised,
■whether the imperial chancellor, Dr.
Von Bethmann-Hailweg, knew in ad
vance of the emperor's purpose to de
liver a speech of such a nature. The
chancellor maintains unbroken si
. lence. The press generally comments
also on the necessity of the German
parliament’s taking some action on
the subject when it meets.
The emperor reviewed an army
corps at Danzig and was cheered by
enormous crowds there.

DUEL TO DEATH.
Fatal Affray on Market Street at Chat
tanooga, Tenn.
Boyd Thompson, a prominent young
court reporter, was shot and fatally
wounded at Chattanooga, and William
Snyder, the other participant in the
duel, probably will die, as a result
of his injuries.
The shooting occurred on Market
street, the main business thorough
fare of the city, while it was crowded.
Charles Hensley, a lawyer of Dayton.
who was across the street, received a
slight wound by a stray bullet.
The trouble Is the result of an old
grudge. Ten days ago Thompson
fired three shots at Snyder within a
block of the scene of the late tragedy.
All the shots w’ent wild.
The two men have been anticipat
ing further trouble since that time.
In the affray ten shots were fired
and a panic ensued among the crowd
on the street. After Snyder had
emptied his pistol at. Thompson the
latter staggered to a drug store a
hundred yards away. Snyder follow
ed, reloading his pistol as he ran.
Thompson'fell to the sidewalk, when
Snyder leveled his gun at the pros
trate form. Bystanders interfered and
wrested the pistol from Snyder’s
hand.
All three of the wounded men were
hurried to a hospital far treatment,
but there is no hope for the recovery
of either Snyder or Thompson. The
former received three bullets and the
latter four.

Hod. Oswell R. Eve Issues Card
of Appreciation to Citizens
To the Citizens of the Tenth Congres- ■DESHMMHBHSRSB9HEBHnE!9HHB
sional District:
My abiding regard for the splendid
citizens of the Tenth district, and my
deep concern in their every interest, is
greater today, if that be possible, than
when the congressional, contest first
।coamienced. The results of tiie pri
[ mary, whatever they might be, I was
prepared from the beginning to accept
in good grace.
I Today, as in the past, lam r«ady to
perform my part in the great work be
fore ns of up-bnilding and developing
litis portico of onr common country—
willing to fill to the very best of my ,
ability and energy any part in that
great work ohieh may he assigned me.
I take this opportunity of stating to
my numerous friends throughout the
district that I am unable to express in
words my grateful appreciation of their
loyal and untiring support. I shall
never forget the man}' evidences of
heir friendship, so willingly and
graciously accorded me throughout a
long and ardons contest. I cannot be
forced to the. conclusion that all who
cast their ballots against me. in Ihe race
just concluded, are unfriendly in their
regard for me; for I am convinced that
I have won the friendship Os miry, in
each of the respective counties of the
district, who felt impelled to withhold
their support during the present cam
paign, but who under different circum
stances and in another campaign, would
grant me thei r aid.
Again I extend to my many friends
this humble expression of my deep and
lasting appreciation of their loyalty
and support—and I wish them, as I do
all the. citizens of the district, God
speed in their every undertaking,
Very Respectfully,
Oswei.l R. Fve.

4,000.000 PIECES MAIL MATTER.
Atlanta Postoffice Was Kept Busy
During Late Campaign.
About 100,000 pieces of political lit
erature passed daily through the At
lanta postpffice during the last six
I weeks of the state and county cam
paign. In all, over 4,000,000 letters,
postcards, and other sorts of mail
were cent out from the headquarters
I of the various candidates.
I As the day for the election drew
near, the clerks and carriers at the
postoffice were aimcat overwhelmed
with work. Especially was the vol
ume of mail on Saturday enormous..
Many candidates had waited until the
last minute to mall some of their most I
persuasive literature, and this mall !
piled up Saturday until it was only by ;
the most unremitting effort that it
was handled. By Saturday night all;
of it had been delivered. The past
week at the postoffice was remindful ’
Os Christmas week. ■

Boys, you have played ball, and you
kilow that a man cannot get into the
National League unless lie lias hml

as essential that he get a thorough prac

the great business enterprises of this
country? If yon were ab mt to lose an
eve, would von employ some one to
treat it who had never made a specialty
of the eve and hadn’t a certificate from
a relible college? If you had an im
portant case in court, would you em
ploy a man as your attorney who had
never been admitted to the bar and had
never made a special study of law.
Why then, young man. could you think
for a moment of entering the business
world without first taking a thorough
business training in some, first-class
school and obtaining a certificate of
proficiency? We are living in a com
mercial age and tn one of the greatest
