VOL. VI. NO. 1.32*. SCHOOL AFFAIRS. | Examinations Over the State Yesterday. MR. BRADWELL’S BIRTHDAY The Governor Still Bothering Over the New State Depositories. — Special to the Tribune. Atlanta, Jan o. Today is important in school affairs throughout the state Examinations are being held in all counties of the state and in two there are elections of county school com missioners. These, are J.fferson and Douglas. In J. ft arson county a vacancy occurs in the resignation of Rev. Dr. Phillips, the oldest county school com missioner in Georgia. Dr. Phi lips has been in office ever since the public school system was inaugurated in this state. He is a Presbyterian minister and a very prominent man in bis county, but his ac>- vancing years have made it necessary for him to resign the position he has held so ably. Under the new law the office of county school commissioner is a most impor tant one. The method of election of this officer is right interesting, the people generally not knowing how it is done. Every applicant is required to stand an examination upon questions furnished by the state school commissioner. The examination is held by the chairman ol the county board and of those applicants for the position who pass creditable ex aminations the board votes upon, the majority, of course, deciding the election. It is not the one who passes the highest examination bnt all who pass are eligible ai orudtdates before the board. Today was Commissioner Bradwell’s birthday and a busy day it was. Hi has just made an important ruling and one which will be of interest to the entire state, and especially to the larger cities. This is that applicants must be exam ined in counties iu which they are to teach. ‘ When I came into the office,” said the commissioner this morning, “I found that hete in Fulton county, there were four or five hundred applicants, white and colored, many of them from the col leges here, who stood an examination in Fulton county because it was more oou enient and fur perhaps. 1 they dollar for the nf amination, and i.. 1 quickiy.

This depository question is bothering the governor a good deal to-day. There were eighteen new deposi'ories added by the last legislature and he is oump< lied to re-district the entire sta'eiu order to give each depository some territory. It is a mighty big job. Some interesting facts were brought out concerning depositories, by examina tion. In Jackson county, for instance, the legislature created two depositories, one at Harmony Grove and one at Jeffer son. In Monroe county, at Fotsytb, one was established, but there is no bank in that county, there is a strong private banking bouse but no banking company. It is possible the governor may throw some interesting light on this depository question before he gets through with it- Frank Weldon. BY HIS VETO, Mayor Fletcher, of Jacksonville, Stands Unmoved—A Spicy Interview. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. o.—Not by any means, has the discussion over the veto of Mayor Fletcher, of the measure adopted by the city council which per mits the Corbett-Mitchell mill inside the city limits ceased. A good deal has been said, by mem bers of the council, against Mayor Fletcher’s action and the charge that he was offensive to the council in the lan guage he used in his veto message. They intimate, too, that the mayor has been derileet in his duties in regard to bars that have openly violated the law in the city. In an interview with a local paper,the mayor said: “Just publish the veto message. I d< pot wish any quarrel about this or an other matter. I have treated the conn cil with every courtesy and expect th same consideration from them. It wn a great surprise to me to learn of the a' tacks on me by some of the member and the more so that Thava now n«« THE ROME TRIBUNE. I reaa tne veto message, ana rail to see I the slightest thing which can be con- j structed. by deliberate effort, into offer-! ing offense. “It is a breach of decorum, to say the least, for cue department of the govern ment to impugn the motives of the offi cers in another, and realizing this. I have studiously avoided language which could be contorted into implying any i such thing. “In the performance of my duties as a part of the legislative branch of the government I opposed this bill, and in the same line J vetoed it. Under the charter lam required to give iu such i cases my ‘objections in writings.’ When asked in regard toother charges he said: “We must not be led off from the prizefight by mud throwing. But I would say, that if these gentlemen know of violations of law it was their boundfen duty to have made complaint aud had them stopped. No complaint has ever reached me nor the police department from any of them regarding any Viola tions of any of the ordinances.” Corbett Is Getting' Serious. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 6.—Corbett is going to do all in his power to make Mitchell fight. He still tninks that the matter which has now gotten to be a personal one, should be settled in the ring, Corbett said that if the club finds that it cannot have the fight without in terference on the part of the governor, that he is willing to forego the purse and have a meeting in private beyond the reach of state officials. He made the same communication to Manager Bo.vden. of the club, who said that he did not think that any such ar rangement would be necessary. The club is going ahead with all its arrange ments to have the thing according to the scheduled program, notwithstanding ru mors to the contrary. The arena is now within three days of completion.

My police force has always and now has in structions to report all violations of the liquor law. and I stand prepared to act in any proper case and punish all offend ers. If you exp&ct me to become an ally of your dirty spies and act the sneak upon my neighbors, I must respeetfulht decline. “Your game.

UOMfiuA., SUNDAY MORNImG, JANUARY i7, la« 4 I BAD BOUTELLE, The Fight Over Mr. Boutelle’s Motion Begun Again. THE SPEAKER INDIGNANT. Mr. Boutelle’s Advice as to the ■ Course the Speaker Should Pursue. Washington, Jan. 6. In the house, the moment the journal was read and approved, the contest of the last three days was renewed by Mr. Boutelle, who rose and insisted that the Hawaiian res olution heretofore offered by him was a question of high privilege, and took pre cedence over everything else. With this view the speaker did not coincide, but made a statement as to the parliamentary position of the question. Mr. Boutelle insisted that his resolu tion was now before the house, and had been ever since the time it was read, but the speaker ruled that the question of its consideration, which had been raised by Mr. McMillin, was determined on the adjournment of the house that day. The same question, he added, might be raised every day, but' he resolution was not now- before the house. It had been reported from the committee on foreign affairs, with a recommendation that it be laid on tillable, and it was now on the tablp Mr. BouTelle interrupted the speaker with a suggestion that he reflect before making his ruling. That suggestion was indignantly repelled by the speaker as a reflection upon him, Finally after a long and fruitless struggle on the part of Mr. Boutelle, the speaker directed the yeas and nays io lie called on the ques tion pending when the house adjourned —that was the ordering of the previous question on the report of the committee on rules, making conditions as to the tariff bill. The vote resulted in showing an ab sence of a quorum. A call of house was ordered and showed the presence of 250 members. Mr. Wilson moved to i dispense with further proceedings under the call, but a division was demanded and afterwards ordered tellers. Mr. Reed and Mr. Catchings being appointed tellers. , The second vote resulted: Yeas, 168, nays none. This showed a deficit of 11 from the number required for a quorum and another call of the house was or dered and proceeded with.

His re- 1 sponse to a toast at a recent celebration I of Forefather’s day in this city was a modelof its kind, exemplifying the truth of the old adage that the soul of wit is brevity. But its brevity was not its only humorous feature, as the succession j of laughs which accompanied its deliv ; ery attested. Last week the vice presi ! dent attended the Journalists’ Club din ner. The vice president remarked the other night that he had never yet been able to j sit down to a banquet and enjoy himself j with an undelivered speech on his mind.

So I don't feel so badly about my own scares as I would if they were peculiar.” Believes Uke Briggs. Charlottsville, N. C., Jan. 6.—The Statesville Landmark has received the information that Rev.
