Tba prince replied:
"I got here aa aooa as X could."
Afcareelatee tha Applaaee.
He had evidently not seen the extent "of
the crowd on account of darkness and the
fact that he was surrounded by members ot
tbe reception committee. Tbe prince
stepped to one side of tbo platform and the
crowd cheered. He touched his admiral's
fatigue cap and encouraged by the con
tinued cheers ot ths crowd, stepped upon a
bench near tbe railing of tbo platform. For

from the orowd. which he repeatedly ac
knowledged by saluting.

Dlspnta Connty'a Right to Feee.
County Judge Waters and ths Board ot
Commissioners aro Involved in a dispute
over ths county's right to fees received by
tho former for performing marriage cere
monies. Tbe commissioners several weeks
ago formally ordered Judge Watera to
prepare a report of all feea received by
htm for tbla eervlce. Mr. Waters has sent
tbo following reply, denying the commla
doners' authority to command htm in the
premises:
"Answering your recent communication
relative to marriage feea and your conten
tion that they should bs reported by me,
I wish to say: That I am confidently of
the opinion that you are mistaken in your
contention and that the law, as welt as
past custom, does not require It. These
fees bslong to the county judge. Just as
tbe msriiags fees paid to a minister of
the gospel' belong to blm. However, It ia
very unsatisfactory to me that this ques
tion should remain undetermined, now
that ' It has been raised.' Your honorable
board ahould tako tho initiative in this
matter at your earlieet convenience to
tho end that the question may be deter
mined aad I ask that ln aome way Wo have
the matter definitely decided and, soon.
Should tho fees for performing the mar
riage ceremony paid to me belong to the
county then I wish to pay them to the
county, and If they belong to me I desire
to know it definitely." ; .
. Acting upon- tho suggestion contained in
tbo foregoing tho commissioners will likely
Institute a test Case to settle the contro
versy, which- ie now" being watched with
interest' by' the commisalonera of other
counties through tout the state.
