ATKINSON’S MESSAGE
(Continued from Page 2 )
seek pTaces-wnere raw is supreme ana me
frequent occurrences of lynching will ad
vertise ours as a lawless state and as a
half civilized people.
It sacrifices the innocent, brings law
Into disrepute, creates lawlessness, im
pedes material growth, and in the eyes of
all the world lowers the standard of our
civilization l and degrades the character of
our people.
This barbarous practice does not de
crease. but increases crime. Having
stained their hands in blood, its perpetra
tors are more easily led to again violate
law. Recently a man tried on the charge
of murder and convicted of shooting a
citizen through the window, as he sat by
bis own hearthstone at night, confessed
also that he it was who tied the rope
arpund the necks of the two men who
were lynched in Columbus in 1896. I con
demn it, and will not apologize for such
lawlessness. To exterminate the practice
it must be made odious and dangerous.
The penalty should be the scorn of the
people and the punishment of the law.
DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.
There is no room for debate upon this
question. If there is. there is none for
Democrats. With them the question
is settled. There is but one position
the members of that party can take.
In the campaign in \?hich the members
of this general assembly were elected, the
Democratic party went to the people upon
a platform adopted by the state conven
tion, in which this declaration is found,
to-wit:
"Resolved, That we deplore and de
nounce lynchings, and favor the enact
ment of laws as will effectually prevent
the same.”
I now ask the men who were elected
upon this platform to enact into law pro
visions which will ii/. gtod faith meet the
requirements of this declaration. Ido not
believe that you will dally with this ques
tion, or pass laws which will be inef
fectual. Let the remedy which you apply
be heroic and severe.
THE REMEDY.
In murder cases the complaint is that
the cases can be too easily continued and
justice unnecessarily delayed. lam not
an advocate of hasty trials, but of prompt
ones. No one should be rushed into a
trial involving his life, when passion in
the county where trial is to be had is at
fever heat and a fair trial impossible.
The law should in all cases permit the
court, on motion of the defendant, or on
its own motion, or on motion of state at
torney, to change the venue to any county
in the state. In determining whether or
not to order a change of venue, the judge
■hould be authorized to exercise a very
broad discretion, and act upon all knowl
edge that he might possess bearing upon
the question. If, in his opinion, a ctamge
of venue is necessary to secure a fa" and
impartial jury, he should order the
change, and this decision should not be
reviewed by the supreme court. The au
thority of ths circuit judge in such cases
should be made plain and ample, and all
doubt removed as to power of the su
preme court to review his decision.
This change in our law, I believe, the
first step necessary to secure, in all cases,
prompt and fair trials.
In some instances it is difficult to secure
a trial on account of the laws regulating
the granting of continuances.
This can be remedied by leaving to the
trial judge the sole power to pass upon
motions to continue, denying to the su
preme court the power to grant a new
trial on account of alleged error in so
doing. The circuit judge who knows the
parties, the case and its history, and has
the witnesses on the question before him,
can better determine whether the motion
is made for delay only, and whether a fair
trial and a just verdict can be had without
further delay, than the supreme court.
Every practitioner knows that the right
of continuance is the most abused of all
rights granted by the law in court pro
cedure, and in my opinion the circuit
judge will correct the abuse if empowered
to do so.
The law which gives the defendant more
peremptory strikes than the state,
■hould be so amended as to give each
party the same number. Under the exist
ing law power is given the defendant to
object without cause to so many jurors
that be can, in many cases, pack a jury in
his own interest.
I have heretofore recommended to the
general assembly, and again urge upon
you, that the law be so amended as to
punish assault with intent to rape with
death, unles the punishment be reduced
upon the recommendation of the jury try
ing the case, just as it may be done now
when the charge is rape.
It has been insisted by some that the
way to stop lynchings is to provide for the
prompt punishment of all who commit the
crimes which provoke it.
Neither the law’s delay nor the failure
of justice can be given as an excuse for
lynchings in rape cases.
In dealing with the offense of rape in our
courts, there has been for the guilty no
delay and no escape. Courts are promptly
called, trials had, and justice quickly ad
ministered. In such cases the men whose
names are in the jury boxes in Georgia can
be relied upon to convict.
The evil will exist for a long time, if not
disturbed, until public opinion is educated
to the point where the condemnation is
sufficiently intense and unanimous to
make it impossible.
It is therefore necessary that without
waiting for this slow process, the majority
representing law, order, justice and civili
zation, pass such legislation as will repress
the lawless element and secure the reign
of law. The certainty of prompt trials
alone will not end lynchings. The delays
of t‘;» law is a favorite excuaaubut is no* l

the real reason tor its existence. Other
legislation is needed to aid in checking it.
The arresting officer is now clothed with
authority to take the life of the assailants
when resisting their efforts to take a pris
oner from his custody, and it is his duty
to take life if necessary to protect th'e
Prisoner and retain him in custody. This
e should be required to do at the hazard
of his own life, or the prisoner should be
unshackled, armed and given an oppor
tunity to defend himself.
That it may be ascertained whether or
not the officer having the prisoner in cus
tody does his full duty in every instance,
I recommend the passage of a law requir
ing a thorough investigation in every case,
and providing adequate punishment when
he falls short of the full measure of his
duty in protecting his prisoner. The ad
ministrator or family of a party taken
from the custody of an officer and killed,
should be authorized to recover from the
county the full value of his life, which in
no case should be less than SI,OOO.
I do not ask that you restrict yourselves
to the measures suggested by me. All
that is asked is a remedy, and upon you
rests the responsibility of providing it.
MISDEMEANOR CONVICTS.
The modification under recent legisla
tion, of the penalties inflicted upon parties
convicted of felony, has so largely in
creased the number of convicts held in
county cbaingangs that the question of
proper disposition, treatment and manage
ment of them is of greater importance
than heretofore.
Having received in 1895, information
that led me to believe that the misde
meanor convicts were not being held and
treated as the law and humanity required,
I appointed Hon. R. F. Wright of Elbert
county, former assistant keeper of the pen
itentiary, to inspect the various camps
and make report thereon, that the general
assembly might be placed in possession of
information which would enable it to take
the proper action. He was not able to
complete this work before the convening
of the general assembly, but believing
that the information already gathered
was sufficient to show the necessity for
legislation, and to induce the application
of the needed remedy, I discontinued the
inspection and placed before the general
assembly the report of Mr. Wright upon
his work done up to that time.
This very able report by Mr. Wright
will be placed before you and to it I invite
your attention.
During this year I had reason to believe
that abuses still existed in the manage
ment of this class of convicts and that
the publicity given, by the discussion of
the Wright report, to the illegality of hir
ing them to private parties had not cor
rected the evil, I employed Hon. P. G.
Byrd of Floyd county, to locate and in
spect all camps where misdemeanor con
victs were worked, and make report
thereon. His clear and comprehensive re
port has been printed, and will be placed
before you.
The facts stated in these two reports
leave no room for doubt that legislation is
needed to properly regulate the care and
treatment of this class of convicts, which
now number more than 1.800. After learn
ing from this report that 637 of these con
victs were held and worked by private
parties, who had secured them from the
county authorities in violation of law, I
communicated the facts to the jud es and
solicitors, from whose courts they were
sentened. Upon receipt of this informa
tion, these officers acted with commend
able promptness, and took steps to have
the convicts worked in compliance with
law and the sentence of the court. This
reform has already greatly increased the
forces at work on the public roads, and
will be of incalculable value in promoting
the improvement of our highways.
Now, while we are providing for the dis
position of our penitentiary convicts, it is
best that we also supply the legislation
needed to properly regulate and direct the
management of county chaingangs.
THE PENITENTIARY.
The general assembly, at its present ses
sion, is confronted with the duty of pro
viding for the disposition of the inmates
of our penitentiary after April 1, 1899, at
which time the existing lease will expire.
This will be but three months after the
adjournment of the general assembly,
which will convene in October, 1898.
Should action be delayed until the session
of 1898, we would find the state utterly
unable to make adequate arrangements to
either hire or work its convicts before the
expiration of the lease, and if forced to
have others employ them we would, in
their disposal, be entirely at the mercy of
the present lessees, who alone would be
prepared to house or give employment to
them.
At the very threshold of this discussion,
the proposition should be accented by all
that the law consigns men to the peniten
tiary not to become petted children of the
state, but to punish them for wrongdoing.
> The system which will meet all the re
quirements of this statement, with least
expense to the lawabiding citizens of the
state, and come least in competition with
free labor, is the one to be adopted.
Any penal system is fundamentally
wrong and vicious wMch requires the
state to part with the control of the con
vict, and gives him into the custody of
private parties.
ON PUBLIC ROADS.
To say in general terms that the convicts
should be put to work upon the public
highways is an alluring and captivating
suggestion. Yet a thorough ana intellb
?;ent study of the question leads uni
ormly to the conclusion that this should
not be done.
THE SYSTEM PROPOSED.
Every person sentenced by the courts to
penal servitude should remain in the cus
tody and control of the state, and owe
obedience to none but officers of the state.
The entire power, subject to legislative
restriction and direction, to locate and
prepare a penitentiary, build and equip
the necessary prisons, hospitals and other
houses, control, care for, work, make con
tracts for, the employment of convicts,
and appoint all needed officers and em
ployes, should be vested in three citizens
to be known as the prison commission.
This commission should be appointed im
mediately upon the passage of the act, and
at once proceed to select and purchase the
land necessary to conduct the work of the
penitentiary.
The plan which I advocate contemplates
and i.« canahla of wrowim.- into a system IF
HIE COME TRIBUNE. THURSDAY OCTOBER 28, 1891
which the state maintains upon Its own
premises all convicts.
If in future the system, to which I look
forward, be completed, and all convicts
cared for upon the state’s own premises,
it must be a gradual growth. We should
advance in Cais direction only as it be
comes evident that they can be so em
ployed in the central penitentiary as to
make their labor profitable. They should
not be taken from remunerate employ
ment outside of the penitentiary, where
they are humanely cared for, and placed at
unremunerative work in a penitentiary,
where they are to become a burden upon
the taxpayers.
REFORMATORY FOR BOYS.
The department established for the care
of boys should be known as the state re
formatory.
Here snould be received all boys con
victed of ielony. under the age of 17, whom
the juiigesin their discretion may sentence
to a term in the reformatory. In addition
to these it should receive all boys under
age of 17 convicted of misdemeanors, when
so convicted by the court, upon receipt
from the county where convicted of such
sum as will in the judgment of the prison
commission cover the cost to the state, if
any, of keeping them. The female con
victs under 17 years of age should be
placed in the woman’s department and
given the same advantages and sur
rounded by the same influences as boys in
the reformatory.
In considering this phase of the ques
tion, I have not undervalued the social
and economic ad van tag is to be derived
from improved public highways.
The roads within the respective coun
ties are of local interest, and can be better
and more economically attended to by
county authorities Being a matter of local
interest, and one which local authorities
can attend to with greater economy and
efficiency, I am unalterably opposed to so
extending the power and duty of the state
as to have these roads worked by state
authorities and at state expense.
All male convicts not classed as able
bodied, who can be cared for there, should
be kept in the penitentiary to be prepared
prior to the expiration of the lease, and
placed at work. Here also should be sent
such ablebodied men as we are then pre
pared to care for, who may be needed to
help carry on successfully the work in
which the secondclass convicts are en
gaged. The remainder, which will proba
ly approximate 1,800 men, should be
engaged to work for such persons as might
contract for their labor with the state,
upon such conditions and limitations as
you may direct.
The prison commission should be au
thorized to enter into contracts for the
employment of convicts, for terms not to
exceed five years, requiring payment to be
made quarterly, and taking bond for the
faithful performance of the contract.
In no instance shall power be given the
employers to manage, direct, punish or
control the convict. This authority should
be retained by the state, and exercised
only by its officers. The state should ar
range for their being properly housed,
bedded, clothed, fed, punished and cared
for in every respect, and it only should
have power to say when and how much
they shell work. The state and the em
ployer should be the contracting parties,
ana no dominion exercised by the em
ployer over the convicts.

PUT UP THE CRAZY PLEA.
Stephen Bryant, Howerer, Was Convicted
and Given a Life Sentence.
Columbia, S. 0., Oct. 27.— Stephen
Bryaut, who two mouths ago killed his
son-in-law in Manon county, has been
convicted, but was recommended to
mercy. This saves him from-the gal
lows.
From the evidence, a young son of
Bryant had frequently visited at the
house of Henry Prevatt, his brother-in
law. Ou going home he told stories
about the treatment of his sister.
After wartiing him over, Prevatt
switched him. The boy told his father,
who, arming himself with a shotgun,
rode to his son-in-law’s home. Seeing
Prevatt, he asked for an explanation.
It was given. Bryant then asked if
Prevatt would promise never to do so
again. Ou Prevatt’s replying that he
would under similar circumstances whip
the boy, Bryaut shot him dead in the
presence of his wife.
A plea of insanity was put up by the
defense.
