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 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. W. Y. Atkinson, Governor. Condensed Testimony Chas. B.

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. Notice. I want every man and woman in the United States interested in the opium end whisky habits to have one of my books of these diseases. Address B.
