SCHOOL BOOK AGENTS AT WAR

One Accused OF Bribing a School
Commissioner.
ATLANTA, GA, April ala. c. Branson,
agent for an eastern school book publishing
company, was arrested this morning on a
warrant charging him with bribing the
school commissioners Of Chattooga county.
Mr. Branson denounced the arrest as mali
cious, but went willingly with the officer,
who turned him over to the sheriff Of
Chattooga county, and at 1885 O'Clock to-
day the sheriff and his prisoner left for the
county in which the alleged crime was com
mitted. For some time two rival school
book companies have been at work
in the various counties Of the state,
and the fight between them has resulted in
orimination and recrimination. Mr.. Branson
represented one OF those book concerns and
j. w. Womack the other. About ten days
ago these two gentlemen met on Whitehall
street and engaged in a lively scrap. Cases
were made against both Of them. and they
were each fined $40 and costs by the re-
corder. Since then they have both INDUCED
very freely in the card writing business.
Each charges the other with doing many
things that a school book agent should not
do, aud Mr.. Branson claims that his arrest
to-day was the result of Mr.. Womack's
jealous work, Mr. Branson was for several
years superintendent Of the public schools

A Delegation From New York Before
President Harrison.
WASHINGTON, April GA New York
delegation of colored men sent to Washing
ton to memorabilia the President in regard
to the alleged outrages perpetrated upon
the negroes of the south, arrived here this
morning at O'clock and were entertained
at breakfast by Hon. Frederick Douglass
and William Z. Matthews The delegation
were introduced to President Harrison at 10
o'clock by Hon. John r. Lynch, fourth
auditor OF the treasury. DR.. William B.
Derrick Of New York city stated the pur-
pose of the delegation to the Presi-
dent and presented resolutions which
were adopted at recent mass
meeting at Cooper Union. In his reply
President Harrison explained to the gentle
men just how far he could exercise his
authority under the constitution, stating
very clearly the difference between the state
and federal authority in regard TO crimes
committed in any particular state. The
New Orleans lynching matter was taken as
an example. The federal government, he
said, clearly had right to provide for the
protection OF Italian subjects as that was a
matter of treaty rights, but it has not been
done. No legislation has been enacted and
neither of the federal courts nor the Presi-
dent could Interfere even in that case.
President Harrison advised the delegation
to collect in detail facts concerning lynch
ings in the south for year and present
them to him and to the public press, and
said that upon these facts he would assist
as far as he could in creating public senti-
ment against lawless methods OF Furnishing
colored men in the south. While willing to
do everything be could in behalf of all citi-
zens of the country, he explained clearly
how any attempted interference with the
state authority by him would do more harm
than good. The delegation were very much
pleased with the Presidents speech and
attitude.

GOV. NoRTHEN7s DESIRE.
Gov. Northen is very anxious that the
machine shops shall be rebuilt at once. In
discussing the situation to-day he proposed
TO get the school in order for the next
term by calling upon some public-spirited
citizen to advance the necessary money, and
trust to the next legislature to refund it.
Unless something OF this sort is done, the
school will lose the machine shop instruc-
ton for at least one whole term, in addition
to the remainder OF the present term, as no
money can be advanced by the state to re-
build the shop until appropriated
by the legislature, which meets fin Deem
Der. The governor is confident the money
will be forthcoming then, but IL the work
of rebuilding is put off till then full term
will have passed before it can be completed
and equipped. On this account the governor
determined to invite the assistance of the
public 80 that the rebuilding can commence
