Disfranohisement Act,
Upon the subject of the recent leg
islation providing for a constitutional
amendment by which It Is claimed 90
per cent of the negroes of Georgia will
lose the right to vote, Governor Smith
said, In part:
“The constitutional amendment
changing the franchise law of the
state will be voted upon next year. I
have no doubt that It will be over
whelmingly approved at the ballot box.
With Its adoption the white people of
every county and every community In
Georgia will have the assurance that
elections can be conducted In future
with perfect fairness, free from any
cunning devices, and yet all danger
from the Ignorant, purchasable negro
vote will cease. I believe that tne ne
groes will be greatly benefited by the
condition which will follow. Les* fric
tion Is apt to occur between tho two
races and more of kindness will mani
fest Itself In the treatment of the ne
gro by the white man. Even the, most
rabid of the Northern press concede
that the law la constitutional.”
Batter Rural Schools.
The governor devoted a part of his
speech to education, which Is always
one of his favorite themes, and espe-.
dally stressed the Importance of better
rural schools. On this subject he said;
“We love our state; we love our chil
dren. By both these ties wo must pro
vide a thorough and efficient system of
education. It must reach from the
grammar school to the college. It must
provide for the industrial training, the
mental training and the agricultural
training of the Doya and girls.
“I wish especially, however, to re
fer to the rural schools.
*T wish to arouse the zeal of the
county hoards of education all over the
state. I would have them comprehend
the Importance of the trust placed upon
them. It might be well to provide for
their election at the ballot box by ull
the people. Be this as It may. none
but men earnestly devoted to the work
should serve In these high places.
“There Is no more Important position
In your county than that of county
school commissioner. The man who
fills this position should be Inspired by
a consecrated purpose to serve the chil
dren of his county. If he Is not a
trained educator, then you should give
him an assistant who Is a trained ed
ucator. You can obtain the services
of a competent womnn. thoroughly fit
ted for the work, to take the position
of assistant commissioner. It Is Im
possible to fill all of our rural schools
with teachers fully equipped for the
service.
“Tsach the T*achers.* ,
“They will need In each county a
leader who can go Into the school room
and take a class and handle It with
perfect skill. The county school com
missioner should go to every school,

must train the negro children through
your school houses to labor with their
hands that they may meet the require

Fiftcon-Cent Cotton.
In connection, with the discussion of
the material growth of the state the
governor said in part:
“The people of a state can not reach
their highest opportunity when their
efforts are limited to a single Industry.
It Ih necessary to diversify agricultural
efforts to obtain from the soil the best
returns. Commerce, manufacturing
and agriculture by their development
mutually help each other, but the cot
ton crop furnishes tho chief foundation
of all our material growth.
“If from the farina of Georgia tho
foodstuffs for Georgians la produced,
the hope of the most ambitious for
years to come will be realised. Our
manufacturers are growing and many
are now chipping thelr products to oth
er states and countries, hut still tho
one great source of revenue, far In ex
cess of all others which goes out of
Georgia to bring back money to Geor
gia, Is lint cotton. If a good cotton
crop is raised and sold at a good prlco
every sphere of life throughout the
state will feel the effect and prosperity
will be general.
“The merchant, the banker, the pro
fessional man, the real estate holder,
whether urban or rural, is directly in
terested In the price which cotton
brings. The people of our section and
state can contribute to raise or lower
the price and all facts connected with
