ATKINSON’S MESSAGE

rank with the best technical institutions
in the country.
Georgia, being near the center of the
cotton growing area of the Union, should
provide for the instruction of her sons in
the manufacture of cotton goods. New
England has taken steps in this direction
for the protection and advancement of her
manufactures. The textile schools which
have been established at the north are
bound to militate to the detriment of our
own cotton industries unless they are met
with similar institutions in the south. A
department of textiles should be added to
the Technological school for the purpose
of giving our young men the opportunity
of becoming experts in the manufacture
of cotton goods. lam assured that such
a measure would receive substantial aid
from many prominent firms and citizens,
and on account of the present excellent
equipment of the school, the first cost
would be reduced to a minimum.
GEORGIA NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE
This institution, whose curriculum em
braces a literary, a normal and an indus
trial course, is doing a great work for the
state by supplying its schools with well
educated, trained teachers, developing the
brain and increasing the culture of her
daughters, and rendering them capable of
being, when necessary, self sustaining and
independent.
So great fs the popularity of this college
that had its accommodations been ade
2uate it would have in attendance 600 stu
ents.
Several hundred applicants were unable
to gain admission at this term on account
of the limited accommodations.
The course of study in the normal de
partment is considerably in advance of
the examinations given applicants for first
grade license in our common schools.
Under existing laws the graduates of
the North Georgia Agricultural and Me
chanical college at Dahlonega, State Nor
mal School at Athens. Middle Georgia Ag
ricultural and Mechanical college at Mill
edgeville, Gordon Institute at Barnesville,
are permitted to teach in thte common
schools without further examination.
I therefore recommend that the same
right be accorded the graduates of the
Georgia Normal and Industrial college.
I STATE NORMAL SCHOOL AT ATHENS.
This school has become a very valuable
part of our educational system and is
worthy of your aid and encouragement.
In the management of various public
'institutions it has been found of great ad
vantage to the institutions and a relief to
’the officers in charge to have some of the
trustees located so as to be accessible to
the institution. It is not advisable to
change the personnel of the present excel
lent board of commissioners who are
charged with the immediate control pf the
institution, and as their present number,
five, is rather small, I recommend that the
governor be authorized to appoint, from
the county of Clarke, two additional mem
bers to said board.
NORTH GEORGIA AGRICULTURAL AND ME
CHANICAL COLLEGE AT DAHLONEGA, GA.
I enjoyed the pleasure of attending the
commencement exercises of this very ex
cellent institution, and gladly testify to
its usefulness. It is doing a magnificent
work for North Georgia and deserves the
encouragement which it has received at
the hands of the general assembly.
PENSIONS.
The appropriations made at your last
session were sufficient for the payment of
all approved pensions except those known
as indigent pensions (Act 1894. page 32).
After payment in January, 1897, of the
rolls for 1896, there was left a balance of
$40,380. Instead of paying in full each
new claim as it was approved, it was
thought advisable to pay no new applicant
until all pending cases had been passed on
by the commissioner of pensions. When
such examination was concluded, twice as
many claims were approved as could be
paid S6O each from the unexpended bal
ance, and the same was prorated, allowing
S3O to each, just half the amount, had the
appropriation been sufficient. In view of
the increase in this class of pensioners, it
will be necessary for you to make for theii
payment in 1898. an additional appropria
tion of $40,000, which does not take into
consideration the new claims to be passed
on for that year.
I respectfully advise that no special pen
sion be granted except the claim has been
approved in due course of law. Many
reasoiis may be urged against this kind of
legislation, but it is only necessary to re
fer to the constitution, Art. 1., Bee. 4, Par.
1, providing that ’“no special law shall be
enacted in any case for which provision
has been made by an existing general law.”
Nor should any pension be paid for any
time prior to the date of its approval, un
less all are so paid, as new claims are con
tinuallj' being placed on the rolls, and, if
one be paid, then it seems only just to pay
c.ll hack to the passage of theoriginal law-

The liberality with which our state has
dealt with its veterans and their widows
is a source of pride to all Georgians.
As the old heroes feel more heavily the
hand of time, their wounds and infirmi
ties require them to lean more on the
helping hand of the state, and I confi
dently believe that our people will con
tinue to respond to their needs with gen
erous aid.
ELECTION LAWS.
Laws regulating elections should effect
ually prevent fraud, and so guard the
right of the elective franchise that the des
tiny of our state will be entrusted only to
those citizens whose ballot is unpur
chasable.
While earnestly desiring our state to
follow in the wake of other states, and
enact legislation which will guarantee
honest elections, controlled by the votes
of honest men, I will not now do more
than call your attention to the importance
of the subject. I would rejoice to see you
deal with the entire subject at your pres
ent session.
In addition to legislation dealing di
rectly with this grave question, the right
to use money in elections should be strictly
guarded and directions given how, and
through what channels, it should pass.
The experience of others has led them to
make such provisions, and, in my opinion,
we should take Similar action.
The amount of money which can be used
by a candidate before the people or gen
eral assembly should be limited, the pur
poses specified by Jaw, and the successful
candidate should be required, before he as
sumes the duties of his office, to exhibit
and file a sworn itemized statement of ex
penses which should not exceed the
amount allowed by law.
For a violation of this law he should
forfeit his right to the Office to which he
is elected.
Positions should not be awarded to men
on account of the wealth they possess.
The power and political influence of men
should not, in the smallest degree, be
measured by money, but by their moral
and intellectual worth. The history of
this country gives ample proof that the
best service has been rendered the repub
lic by men whose study of questions af
fecting the public had so far monopolized
their time that their own possessions were
small.
The proposed measure should be suffi
ciently comprehensive to specify the pur
pose for which money can be used in a
party primary or final election, and free
offic als from that obligation, which is in
curred by personally receiving from
others a contribution to aid in securing an
election.
If, for instance, candidates for the office
of solicitor general, judge and United
States senator are permitted, by direct
contributions, to place candidates and the
party authorities in the respective coun
ties under direct obligation to them by
contribution to campaign fund, it will de
grade political life, put capacity and
worth at a discount, and make money the
test of merit. The influence of money in
politics is already two great, and should
be promptly reduced to a minimum.
All contributions for political cam
paigns should be made direct to the party
officials, and no man not a resident of a
county should be permitted to contribute
to the county election. To prevent undue
influences of money from this source,
such contributions should, in congres
sional-campaigns, be given to the district
committee, and in state campaigns to the
state committee, to be by them expended
where they think best.
To encourage worthy men who do not
possess wealth, to secure a fair submission
to voters of questions involving govern
mental policy and personal merit, to
avoid the debauching of politics by the
power of money, to guard the purity of
the public service, that government may
merit the respect and confidence of the
people, I earnestly ask that prompt action
be taken to avoid the disastrous results
which must follow the evils to which I
have called your attention.
THE INCREASE OF CRIME.
The increase of our prison population is
a matter for serious consideration. In
1869 there were only 393 convicts in our
penitentiary; in 1871, 385; in 1874, 616; and
now they are 2,357. This, of course, does
not include those in the county chain
gangs, numbering about 1,850.
The number in the penitentiary would
be even larger but for legislation by your
predecessors, under the provisions of
which a large number who were convicted
of felony has been sent to the county
chaingangs.
In 1871, 15 per eent of the convicts were
white, and in 1897 8 per cent are white.
During this period the blacks in the peni
tentiary have increased 600 per cent.
While the increase in white convicts has
been small, our penitentiary has been rap
idly replenished from the ranks of the
negro population. The number convicted
in recent years is much larger than just
after they were given their freedom. More
were received into the penitentiary in the
year 1896 than in the years 1869, 1870 and
1871 combined. The whole number of
convicts received from the establishment
of the penitentiary, March 10, 1817, to
Oct. 16, 1866, a period of 49 years and seven
months, was 2.029; total number received
during the four years. 1894-5-6-7, was 2.307.
This result has been reached in spite of
the fact that in addition to what has been
done by towns and cities supporting local
school systems we have spent within that
time about, $4,000,000 in an effort to edu
cate the negroes, that they may become
better citizens.
I rtm not ready to admit that this has
been a waste, or that the race has retro
graded in spite of the effort of the state
and philanthropic individuals to afford
them educational advantages.
It is unquestionably true that a large
number of the race have made great pro
"r„ss intellectually and morally. While
THE ROME TRIBUNK, JHUfiSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 18H7
tins conamon exists among the oetterlue
ment, a considerable percent of them have
no regard for law or morals, and from
this element the penitentiary is being re
plenished with alarming rapidity. How
to correct this demoralization and elevate
this people to a better standard of citizen
ship, is a problem which must call into
requisition the nobility of character and
the wisdom of the Anglo-Saxon. I cannot
discuss this question now, further than to
make one suggestion.
To educate this element without, at the
same time, giving them moral instruc
tion is an injustice to them and to society.
It is therefore, the part of wisdom to look
more to character in selecting the teach
ers who are to receive our money for ser
vices in the schoolroom.
The best of the race, intellectually and
morally, should be selected to teach in
public schools. The law should require
the school authorities to look closely into
the conduct and character of each appli
cant before license is granted to teach.
This provision should apply alike to white
and black. In every way possible we
should endeavor to improve the morals of
the people by imparting through the
schoolroom correct principles and pure
morality. The teacher should not only
train the mind, but build noble charac
ters.
This I suggest as one o (the factors that
would aid in reducing our criminal popu
lation.
This, however, must necessarily be slow
in having its effect, while present condi
tions call for quick and repressive meas
ures.
GOVERNMENT, CRIME AND LYNCHING.
The graver crimes are of alarming fre
quency and more seriously affect that por
tion of our population who reside outside
the towns ana cities. In these sections,
the crime of burglary, arson and rape have
become more frequent than in the years
of disorder that followed the civil war.
There are now in the penitentiary 78 con
victs for assault to rape, and 81 for rape.
Os all crimes known to our law, these two
are the most villanous. Their frequency
has terrorized the people residing in rural
districts, and so aroused their fear and
resentment that it has been impossible in
many of these cases to induce them to
await the action of the courts.
Since Nov. 1, 1894, there have been 12
negroes lynched who were charged with
rape and assault with intent to rape, and
one white man who was charged with rape.
In addition to these, there have been
seven negro men, one negro woman and
one white man lynched who were charged
with other offenses. Total for three years,
22, or a little more than seven per year.
These occurred in the following counties:
Appling, Clinch, Dooly. Habersham, Mon
roe. Montgomery. Spalding, Muscogee,
Talbot, Colquitt, Twiggs, Jasper, Cal
houn and Bibb.
It is the duty of government to protect
its citizens, and to do all that can possibly
be done to prevent the commission of, not
only, the offenses which have provoked
the people to resort to such a reprehensible
remedy, but all offenses, and to guarantee
to every citizen charged with crime a trial
before an impartial tribunal, as guaran
teed by the constitution.
In dealing with this question, the people
of the southern states are, of all people, in
the most trying position. Here a large
per cent of our population has been clothed
with the rights and privileges of citizen
ship before receiving the training neces
sary to prepare them for the duties and
responsibilities of so important a position.
If the same population had been placed
among the people of any other section of
the Union, they would have the same
problem to deal with which now confronts
us, and would find just as much human
nature among their people as is exhibited
by ours.
Notwithstanding the anomalous condi
tion which exists here, our people deplore
mob violence, but should be more deter
mined in insisting upon leaving to courts
and juries the punishment of violators of
the law.
If defects exist in the law, the remedy is
not to ignore and violate the law, but to
amend it. The citizen cannot be justified
in trampling upon law and assuming the
functions of judge, jury and executioner.
It is the duty of the citizen to leave to
the government, under which he lives, the
righting of wrongs, and the punishment
of crime. The man who ignores this obli
gation anc assumes with his own hand to
punish crime, becomes a criminal.
The evil to which I allude is not re
stricted to this state or section, but is
national.
The irequency of such occurrences
within the last few years is calculated to
alarm every citizen who realizes the dread
ful results to which it leads,, or the enor
mity of the crime against human rights,
government and civilization. To denomi
nate these offenses lynchings do not make
them less lawless or barbarous.
It is an attack upon government itself—
a conflict between the forces of anarchy
and law. It is fundamentally wrong, be
cause it defies government, ignores law
and punishes without law or evidence.
Under our government, laws are made
and unmade at the will of the majority.
If there are unwise laws, the people can
repeal, if a need for one, the people can
enact. Any organized effort to set at
naught our laws and punish crime with
out and in defiance of the law is itself
criminal. It is worse than criminal. In
its very essence, it is treason against the
majority and against government.
In the discussion of lynching, let it be
clearly understood that it is not a question
as to whether or not those guilty of crime
■hall be punished, but whether or not the
innocent shall escape. Not a question as
to whothor thw rrniltv shflll tig DUpjshed.

In a free government like ours there is
no excuse for lynching. If there is evi
dence to convict the courts will punish; if
there is not, punishment should not be in
flicted. The courts of our state can be
trusted to punish the guilty and protect
our property, our persons and the honor
and virtue of our women.
I am deeply concerned for a remedy for
this evil that we may save from guilt the
men who engage in it, and protect the in
nocent. who are too often sacrificed.
TRIAL BY MOB.
The mob is not a safe tribunal to justly
determine any cause.
Not long since in this state it is said that
a mob, which had gathered, failed to take
action because of a division in their own
ranks, one portion wishing to hang a man
who had not been tried, and the other, to
liberate one who had been tried, heard in
all the courts and sentenced to be hanged
for murder.
The mob judges without a full and com-
Clete hearing from both sides. Its mem
ers are not the most capable of judging.
It decides in passion and, too often, in
whisky. How can it fail to make mis
takes and sacrifice the lives of the inno
cent?
I feel the more deeply upon this question
because from the best information I can
•ecure, I believe that during my adminis
tration there have been in this state sev
eral men lynched who were not guilty of
the crimes with which they were charged.
How many, can never be known, for their
tongues are hushed, and they are denied
an opportunity to prove their inno
cence. I am informed that one man.
whom the mob believed to be guilty, was
shot down. A question then arose as to
his identity and he was salted down like a
hog, shipped to the location of the crime
and found to be the wrong man—an inno
cent man.
When an innocent man is lynched for a
crime it serves to protect the guilty. The
members of the mob, their friends and
sympathizers seek to impress it upon the
community that the right one has been
punished and the guilty goes unsought
and unsuspected. Even during this year
evidence has come to light showing that
in several states victims of the mob have
been innocent men.,, During my term of
office one man. who was rescued from the
mob, was accorded a trial which resulted
in showing that he was not guilty of the
offense with which he was charged. An
other fled from the mob to the executive
office, and asked for protection, and a trial
by jury. They were given him, and it de
veloped that he was not guilty of the
charge for which the mob endeavored to
take his life.
To what extent this practice has been or
will be used for purposes other than the
alleged reason given to the public, will
never be known. In one instance, not
long ago. it was stated and accredited that
a man who had been charged with rape
came near being lynched. When the truth
became known it brought to light the
fact that the purpose m preferring the
charge was to have him lynched in order
to suppress his evidence against parties
who had been violating the prohibition
law. In another instance a man, charged
with an assault upon a woman, escaped
the mob, which was in pursuit, and estab
lished the fact that the charge was made
against him to defeat the collection of a
debt. Had the parties been lynched it is
not probable that their guilt would have
been questioned.
These things serve to emphasize the im
portance of adhering to law, and of your
so legislating as to suppress this evil,' and
guarantee to every one charged with crime
a fair and impartial trial.
Responsibility for the crime of lynching
rests not only upon actors, but upon the
community which shuts its eyes to the !
crime and permits and tolerates it, and
upon legislators who refuse to enact laws
to suppress it.
It can and will be stopped when the bet
ter element who deprecate mob law ag
gressively condemn and determine to sup
press the practice.
It is no excuse to say that the northern
people, who have less to provoke them to
it. lynch. Let us not take them as a
standard, but rather show a higher type
of civilization in our state, and erect here
a standard to which they may aspire.
LYNCH FOR WHAT CRIMES.
Lynch law has not been restricted to
cases where the charge was an outrage
upon a female. In Texas a man was
lynched simply to suppress his evidence;
in Kentucky because he was objectionable
to the neighborhood, and in Indiana five
men were lynched for burglary. In our
state, in the last three years, seven men
have been lynched for murder, and one
man and one woman because they were
suspected of
Even had it Deen confined to offenses
committed upon females it could not be
justified.
To adopt it, in these cases, is to put the
life of every man in the power of any
woman who might for any reason desire
his death. When such crimes are charged
the passion of the people is more deeply
stirred than by any other, and the mob is
quick to act.
Yet viewed from the standpoint of rea
son and not of passion, there is less excuse
for lynching in such cases than in any
other. Delay cannot be given as a reason,
nor a fear that justice will be defeated.
At Monticello and Columbus the men
were taken out of the courtroom during
the trial and lynched. In most cases they
are taken from the custody of officers of
the law, when they know that the court
will convince and give a speedy trial. For
this offense, above all others, the courts
are quick to try, and if guilty, the juries
certain to convict.
It is not then that they fear delay or the
acquittal of the guilty, but it is a defiance
of law. It is a desire to substitute pas
sion for evidence and vengeance for jus
tice.
There being no excuse to be found for
fear of either delay or failure of justice,
but one reason is left, and that is the ob
jection to the outraged victim having to
go into court and relate the horrible story.
That this is a terrible ordeal every one
must concede, but human life must be
valued even above this trial. She should
undergo this trial, not as a sacrifice to the
guilty, but to conform to the rules of law,
which centuries of experience have demon
strated to be absolutely essential for the
protection of the innocent. The truth
cannot be had save by having both sides
heard before an impartial tribunal.
To remove this objection, however, our
law provides that, on such occasions, the
judge may order the courtroom cleared of
all save the jurors and lawyers engaged
In the case on trial.
There is therefore no justification nor
excuse for a resort to lynching, even in
this class of cases, when the defendant is
charged with the most dastardly and hor
rible of crimes. No man doubts in these
cases that the law will punish the guilty,
and if he did, he could not find a remedy
by making a murderer of himself. The
remarkable fact exists that in a majority
of instances the party lynched is taken
from the custody of officers. I can under
stand how a near relative of the victim of
the lust of a human brute who sees before
him the man whom he believes has com
mitted the outrage, and in the heat of pas
sion slays him, can enlist the interest and
sympathy of a community; but how any
one can fail to condemn those who are
guilty of the cowardly act of taking from
the officers of the law a man who is dis
armed and helpless and hanging him with
out trial, surpasses my comprehension.
