ate to-day of a resolution providing
that the Secretary of War report to

SCHOOL FIGHT IN COLQUITT
Over Election of County school
Commissioner.

.. Commissioner.
Moultrie, Ga. April 13.--There is a
warm contest in Colquitt county over
the election of a county school COM
missioner that is growing into Bit
ter political fight. The present in
cumbent of the Office is N. N. March
ant, who has held 1t a number of
years. At the examination some weeks
ago he and a party from another coun-
ty were the only contestants to stand
the examination. Before the election
charges were preferred against the
commissioner and learning that three
members of the board were against
him, he did not apply. The other gem
tleman was found ineligible, and was
not elected.
The opposition to the reelection of
the present commissioner was led by
Chairman @. S. Nelson Of the Board
of Education, who has held his office
twelve years. The commissioner went
before the grand jury last week and
asked that Chairman Nelson be re-
moved from office on the grounds of
inefficiency.
The grand jury acceded to the re-
quest and recommended his removal.
at the same time naming j. s. Had
den his successor. Nelson charged that
he was summarily removed on false
charges, and without being allowed
hearing. His friends applied to State
Commissioner Merritt, who referred to
a Supreme Court decision that gives a
remedy. The chairman has employed
counsel and is now petitioning the
courts to enjoin the grand jury and
also prevent the publication of its pre-
sentiments.
