8 PLIMMER HAD A BIG PICNIC. Kelly Knocked Out in Three Rounds Without Half Trying. The New York Boy Entirely Outclassed, by the Englishman—He Landed on the American’s Face Whenever and Wherever He Pleased—The Fight for a Purse of $3,600 Before the Coney Island Athletic Club—Ted Pritchard Knocks Out Dick Burge in England. Athletic Club, Coney Island, N. Y., Nov. 26.—There was a very good crowd at the arena of the Seaside Athletic, Club on Coney Island to-night to witness the box ing contests. The club presented an Inviting programme and it had the desired effect. The contest between Billy Plirnmer and Charles Kelly was, of course, the star bout of the evening, being advertised as a twenty round fight for a purse of >2,500, the winner to take all, but it was generally understood in sporting circles that the fight would virtually be to a finish. The other coptests, though not of so many rounds, were of no small im portance. The first bout was one of six rounds be tween two Brooklyn boys of 112 pounds each. It was declared by the referees to be a draw and by the audience to be a bore. The next bout was a contest of eight rounds between Billy Vernon of Haver straw and Bobby Dobbs of Minneapolis, at 135 pounds, for a purse of SSOO. Dobbs is a colored man. They fought three vicious rounds, and were stopped by the police in the fourth round. They were, however, permitted to resume and Ver non was knocked out in the same round. The final bout of the evening was the much-talked of 20-round contest between Billy Plirnmer of England, champion ban tam-weight of the world, and Charlie Kelly of New York, who thus far has won nearly al! of his battles. Plimmer’s seconds were Jack Plirnmer, his brother, Bennie Murphy, Allen Robb, the cele brated bicyclist. All of his seconds were from England. The men had to weigh in at the ring side, at 114 pounds and they were both down to weight. Kelly had bandages on his wrists and Plirnmer objected and they were removed. Kelly’s seconds were Howie Gorkins, Tom Connelly, Jim Kelly and Pete Butler. A story of the fight by rounds follows: Round I—Kelly led with his left twice and missed. Plirnmer landed a hot right on Kelly's face and the men clinched. Plirnmer sent a hot right on Kelly’s wind and got a light left on the face in return. Kelly did not seem to be able to land and several of his leads fell short. Plirnmer jabbed his left on Kelly’s face three or four times without a return. Kelly was wild and did not seem able to land with any effect. Round 2—Plirnmer was cool and confi dent when he came up for this round. He planted his left on Kelly’s mouth and trotted back laughingly as he got away from Kelly's vicious swings. Plirnmer icept up his straight left-handed jabs on Kellyfs mouth, while he would byway of variety swing his right on his damaged face with telling effect. It was very ap parent that Plmmer had his man at his mercy, and could hit him when and where he chose. This was the softest kind of a mark for Plirnmer, and the bout was so completey one-sided that many of the ring veterans got up in disgust and began to walk toward the door. It was easy to be seen that It could not last more than another round unless Plirnmer saw fit to permit it. Round 3—Plirnmer landed his left and was lightly countered. He then jabbed his left and right on Kelly’s bleeding nose. Plirnmer continued his jabbing tac tics and soon had poor Kelly at his mercy, hitting him at will when and Where he liked. It was plain to be seen that Kelly was outclassed, and after fighting Just 1 minute and 35 seconds the police stopped . the fight and the referee awarded the bout to Pl|mmer. Alexandria. Va.. Nov. 26.—The Peck ham-Ryan fight has been declared off, the mayor threatening the arrest of al! the principals should it be begun here. It is not known definitely when or where It will take place. London, Nov. 26.—Ted Prichard and Dick Burge, middleweight pugilists, met before a big audience in the Eden Theater this-afternoon. Pritchard had a slight ad vantage in the betting, and defeated his man in the second round. Driscoll defeated Moore In the eighth round at the National Sporting Club. VALUE IN ITS CONTROL. A Judge Orders Majority Stock Sold in Block for This Reason. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 26.—The opinion of the United States circuit Judge Lurton In the case of Toler and others vs. the East* Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad, the Central Trust Company of New York and others, was filed at Knox ville to-day. The cause, which is a fore closure suit on the Cincinnati Extension gold mortgage bonds, on the ground of a default in Interest to the amount of >150,000, was heard by Judge Liirton at Cincinnati Nov. 10 on two motions, by Henry A. Taylor, claiming to hold a ma jority ot the bonds, to be allowed to in tervene, and be made a defendant for the ' purpose of resisting foreclosure; the other ; by Toler and others, and the Central I Trust Company, for a decree of foreclosure nisi. The points decided are, first, that Henry A. Taylor’s petition to become a defend ant should be granted, and his petition should stand as an answer, both to the original and cross bills. Second, that the complainants and cross-complainant are entitled under their respective bills to a decree requiring the mortgage company to pay into the ! register of the court the interest on de- i fault, amounting to >460,000, within ninety ! days, and that in default of the payment ‘ of said interest the shares held by the i Central Trust Company shall be sold in | block. Judge Lurton was of the opinion that Inasmuch as through shares held in trust < the Cincinnati Southern railway and the ■ Alabama Great Southern railway were both controlled, that the voting power of aald shares constituted an element of such value that the stocks should be sold in a block, thus preserving the vot ing power and the control of the two rail roads aforesaid. The importance of this decision consists •n the fact that the purchaser of the • stocks ordered to be sold will thereby ob- * tain the control of the English company, ■ which holds and owns the entire stock of the Alabama Great Southern railway and the majority of the stock of the Cin cinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific The real parties in the litigation were th® Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton rail road Company, who are the real and sub stantial owners of the stock represented by Henry A. Taylor, while the minority of the bonds are owned and controlled in the interest of the Southern Railway Com pany. It will follow that if the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad Company shall be the highest bidder at the sale of stocks so ordered sold their control of the line of road from Cincinnati to New Or- leans would be secured. On the other hand, If the Southern Railway Company shall become the purchaser of the said stocks, it will through them obtain the entire domination of the aforesaid line from Cincinnati to New Orleans. The opinion is regarded as a victory for the Southern railway. A NEW BOAD TO CHARLESTON. The Louisville and. Nashville Applies for a Charter. Charleston, S. C., Nov. 26.—Some time ago advertisements appeared in the news papers in this state announcing that a charter would be applied for, for a rail road to run between Charleston and Au gusta, to be known as the South Carolina railroad. As it was well known that the Louisville and Nashville system wanted an outlet to the Atlantic through this port, it was taken as a matter of course that that system was behind the scheme. The promoters of the enterprise, however, kept their own counsel, and the public was left to conjecture what it pleased. The question is now put to a test, and there can be no doubt that the Louisville and Nashville system has not only sur veyed a route between Charleston and Augusta, but that it will apply to the general assembly, which convenes at Co lumbia to-morrow, for a charter for the new company. The petition for a charter, accompanied by a bill, will be introduced in the Senate to-morrow by Senator Buist, who will, it is understood, have charge of the measure. The petition Is signed by Messrs. August Belmont, I. D. Probut, and M. H. Smith of the Louisville and Nashvijle system, and by a number of prominent citizens of Charleston. The capital stock of the new road was fixed at $1,000,000. The charter also grants pow er to the company to carry on the easiness of a transportation company by sea, as well as to make proper terminal connec tions. BUTLER’S FIGHT ON TILLMAN. He Attacks the Law for the Payment of Election Supervisors. Columbia, S. C., Nov. 26.—Senator M. C. Butler, through his attorney, Gen. You mans, to-day moved before the supreme court for an injunction restraining the controller general and state treasurer from paying any of the salaries of super visors of registration on the ground that the registration law is unconstitutional, and the appropriation of money for that purpose is illegal. The court reserved its decision, but will probably file an opinion to-morrow. This is said to be the begin ning of Senator Butler’s plan to contest. Gov. Tillman’s seat in the Senate. The court to-night granted the order to show cause, and set Dec. 3 as the time for hearing argument. The same points against the law raised by Senator Butler were raised by E. M. Braytaon, a republican, last spring, but, owing to various reasons, the case was never brought to a conclusion. It is the general opinion among lawyers that the law is radically defective and that it will be so declared. The supposition is that Senator Butler in tends to contest Tillman’s seat in the Senate, to which he will undoubtedly be elected by the legislature which meets to morrow. This is but one of his plans of defeating Tillman, as the senator claims that the last election was carried by the greatest frauds. He does not, however, say what his plans are, but it is believed that his action is but the beginning of a contest which, it is said, he will carry even to the United States Senate. Senator Butler’s action is believed to mean that he will claim that the legisla ture, which elects his successor, and which meets to-morrow, was illegally elected. A NEW NEWSPAPER DEAL. The Southern Papers to Affiliate With the United. Press. New York, Nov. 26.—As the outcome of the differences between the Southern As sociated Press and the Chicago organiza tion styling itself the "Associated Press,” the following letter was sent to-day: New York, Nov. 26, 1894. TO' Victor F. Lawson, president of the Associated Press of Illinois. Dear Sir: The Associated Press of Illinois having violated lt° con tract relations with the Southern Associated Press, this is to give you notjee that from this date we will hold no relations of any kind whatever with your organization. Yours respectfully, J. H. Estill, Vice President Associated Press. At a meeting held this afternoon be tween the executive committee of the Southern Associated Press and the United Press, a contract was entered into between the two organizations, through the opera tion of which the Southern Associated Press members and c’lients are brought into exclusive relations with the United Press. This gives the latter some forty now clients, all of which are simultan eously lost by the so-called "Associated Press." These papers are scattered from Washington to the gulf, and include among them the principal dailies in that territory. KILLED HIS FOUR-DOLLAR DOG. Mitchell Will Try to Make His Rattle snakeship Fay the Damages. Thomasville, Ga„ Nov. 26.—Isaac Mitch ell, a negro, living six miles from Thomas ville, brought a very fine specimen of live rattlesnake to town to-day. The negro had purchased a 'possum dog for $4 and sent his son hunting on Saturday. "The ! dog run a varmint,” to use the darkey’s I language, "into a gopher hole and went j In after it. The snake was in the hole and struck the dog and killed him.” Yes terday the boy went back and dug the snake out. It was caught with a rail placed across his neck until he could be tied around the head. Mitchell had his captive in a box, and was offering to sell him for $3 so he could buy another dog. MARION’3 BIG FIRE. ; The Town Without a Water Supply and the Loss Heavy. Marlon, N. C., Nov. 26.—About noon yes- I terday fire broke out In an old frame I building known as the “Ark.” There was j a high wind at the time and the flames at J once spread to the jail, and it burned so ! rapidly that it was with difficulty that I twenty-seven prisoners were rescued. The town has no water supply. The citizens formed a bucket brigade from the wells, but these were soon exhausted, and the fire went through the business part of the town, leaving only one building stand ing. A street bridge was burned and fell on the Southern railway track, delaying trains several hours. The revised list I of the losses shows a total of $86,000 and in surance to the amount of about $12,000. . The losers will rebuild. f — t-t- The New* at Douglas. Douglas, Ga..

THE WEEKLY" NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK), THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1894 SEELY’S BIC BANK STEAL. Frederick Baker Identified as Bis Accomplice. The Dead! Man’s Sons Deny the Olaim, but the Paying Teller Identifies the Remains—Baker Also Alleged to Have Defrauded Estates of Which He Was Trustee—The Bank Expects to Re cover a Large Part of the Missing Money From the Dead Man’s Estate. No Clew to Seely’s Whereabouts Found Yet. New York, Nov. 26.—Despite the asser tions of Frederic Baker’s sons that their father is not the man implicated with Seely Tn looting the Shoe and Leather Bank, and did not even have an account there, Paying Teller Sayres, who for eight years cashed checks for Baker personally, at least three times a week, has posi tively identified the body. The bank was open as usual to-day for business. There was no sign of a run, and from all outward appearances everything was as usual. There is not the slightest chance of the defalcation reaching over the amount named—s3s4,ooo. The bank, it is said, can make it good, and it is in no difficulty. In is understood the depositor is wealthy, and although he has pursued peculiar methods in investing his money, the bank has no doubt of in time being able to place its hands on a large amount of it, and it will certainly be easier to pro ceed against the estate than against him personally, for, if he were alive, he would undoubtedly fight in every way. Up to date no word or trace of the ab sconding bookkeeper, Seeley, has been heard. Stories are coming to light about both Seeley and Baker. Baker’s friends do not deny that Baker and Seeley were acquainted. Some of them assert that Seeiy was an inveterate pool room gam bler. Against Baker it is told that he de frauded estates of which he gained con trol as executor or trustee through his general good reputation. A man named Augustus Kagel, who lives on Staten Island, was tracing prop erty to-day for which Haker held possession as trustee fur Kagel and his sister. Part of the Kagel estate consisted of six- ty-five shares of the Chatham National Bank stock. Kagel learned at the bank that Baker transferred the stock to other parties in 1879, but he has pUd to the Kagel heirs continuously since that time the dividends declared upon the stock. The transfer was legal, as Baker had the power as trustee to dis pose of the stock. The Seely defalcation led to considerable shifting of bookkeepers in the down-town banks to-day. A number of the leading banks also called in their depositors' books for the purpose of examination. It leaked out to-day that a discount clerk in the National Bank of the Repub lic was found last August to be $32,000 short in his accounts. When the discovery was made the defaulter was promptly dis missed and relatives, it is said, made good a good part of his stealings. The bank officers declined to give the man’s name, although they admit the facts and as sert that the net loss to the bank was a little over $5,000. Baker had a compartment in the Park National Bank safe deposit vaults. At the instance of the Shoe and Leather Bank this was opened to-day, l?ut nothing was found except a small amount of money, Baker’s will, and other legitimate papers. There was nothing to throw any light upon his transactions with Seely. Lawyer An gel of Jersey City, Seely’s counsel, is in an unenviable position. He is constantly shad owed by detectives and his house was searched early this morning by Pinkerton men upon the supposition that Angel was harboring Seely in hiding. Angel stoutly defends Seely from all aspersions upon his habits and character, asserting that he was Baker’s victim. Angel expresses the belief that Seely will shortly give himself up. , WANT THE SUGAR BOUNTY PAID. A Meeting Held by the Commercial In terests at New Orleans. New Orleans, La., Nov. 26.—At a meet ing to-night at the chamber of commerce, the commercial bodies, bankers, brokers and merchants of this city decided to pre sent the claims for the bounty on the crop of sugar of 1894 and 1895. The meeting was attended by representative planters, com mittees from the cotton exchange, cham ber of commerce, board of trade, auction eers of sugar stock and the various other exchanges, as well as the entire banking, shipping and business interests of the city and state. Gov. Foster, Senator Blanchard, Con gressmen Meyer, Price and Davey were present and made addresses, showing the justness of the claims of the planters, ! and declaring their support of the move ment for the bounty, which affects every interest in this state, as well as other states. The meeting was called to order by President J. C. Morris of the Canal Bank. It was the unanimous sentiment of the meeting that the bounty was a just, legal and moral obligation, as far this year’s crop was concerned, and should be paid. There were no politics tn the meeting, but every interest of the state united in presenting its just claim for a fulfillment of the obligations of the government to the sugar interests, in which they are all concerned. WANTUNK ARNEDMILEAGE. Defeated Memb-rs of Congress Propose to Stay at Home. Washington, Nov. 26.—Over twenty-five members ot congress, it Is said, have i written letters to the sergeant-at-arms ■ of the House, asking that their mileage for this session be forwarded to them, as thqy do not wish to come to Washing ton this winter. Replies have been sent that no mileage can be paid to members, except to those who actually attend the I session of _congress. In nearly every in- I stance the request has been preferred by | a defeated member, and it indicates a small attendance of that class at the short session this winter. METHODISM’S BISHOPS. An Open Attack by Clergymen on the Life Tenure Feature. Columbus, 0., Nov. 26.—The life tenure of the bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church is being openly attacked by the clergymen of that denomination here. At a meeting to-day a large majority of them | declared that under the present system i the bishops became tyrannical. A few ; defended the bishops and the debate grew i very warm. Rev. I. F. King declared that some of the arguments against the bishops “were | as rotten as sin.” A COUPLE OF THIEVES CAUGHT. They Opened a Safe and Got $280.00. A Christian Woman Dead. Valdosta, Ga., Nov. 26—James Croffey and F. W. Brewer are occupying a cell in the county jail. The arrest of the two men was a fine piece of work of Chief of Police Dampier. Though arrested eight miles a part there was less than fifteen minutes between the two arrests. They were wanted here for breaking a safe Friday night and robbing it of S2BO, The safe belonged to W. S. Fender, and was located in an office near the Geor gia Southern depot. The safe was used for keeping important papers by Mr. Fender, but Croffey, who had been work ing in Fender’s saw mill at the depot, saw S2BO put in it for the night on Friday evening. The safe door was left unlocked, but the drawer containing the money was locked securely. That night the draw was broken open and the money was taken out. Circumstances pointed to Croffey and Brewer as the guilty parties. Chief Dampier started after them in a hack, and found Croffey in an intoxicated con dition and asleep out near Wall’s mill. He got information there that Brewer had gone on up the railroad track toward Naylor. The train was then due, so the chief turned Croffey over to a deputy, while he boarded the train toward Sa vannah. At the next station Brewer crawled on the car steps and was ar rested. The chief of police brought them back last night. The t-wo men made a full confession, except that both claimed that the other broke the lock to the safe’s drawer. About $217 was recovered. Brewer had SBO wrapped around his leg, so that it never would have been discovered but for the closest kind of search. Mrs. M. E. Rountree, an honored Christ ian woman of this city, died Saturday and was laid to rest Sunday. - A NEW BASE BALL LEAGUE. It Will be Known as the Central, and Atlanta to be in It. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 26.—Representa tives from half a dozen cities met here to day for the purpose of organizing the Cen tral baseball league.

Gov’t Report IW& ABSOLUTELY PURE MONEY TO RUN THE STATE. The House Begins Consideration of the Appropriation Bill. The Friends of the State Militia to Make a Hard Fight to Secure $20,000 for 1895 and a Similar Amount for Next Year—The Amount Recom mended for the State Lunatic Asylum to be Increased s4o,ooo—The Amount for the Technological School to Stand as Recommended by the Committee. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 26.—The appropria tion bill and the governor’s message oc cupied most all the time of both houses of the legislature to-day. In the House the appropriation bill was the special order of the day, and as such was taken up immediately after the mes sage was read with Mr. Boifeuilet of Bibb in the chair, the House being in committee of the whole. The consideration of the appropriation bill had been only partially completed when the House adjourned. To-morrow the work will be resumed and it is likely that it will consume the whole day, as there is a wide division on the military appropriation. The finance com mittee declined to give any money for the encampment, but Mr. Hodges of Bibb has offered an amendment to the appropriation bill giving the military $20,000 for each of the years 1885-6. The fight will be upon the acceptance of this amendment. The cham pions of the military are determined that they will leave no stone unturned to have the appropriation inserted before the bill is allowed to pass. The appropriation for the executive, judicial and legislative branches of the government are all the same as heretofore. To-day the debate was upon the appro priation to the state school of tech nology and the lunatic asylum. In the first case the report of the finance committee will stand, but in the latter the House will amend it, Chairman Boynton agree ing to the change which adds $40,000 to the appropriation. The committee recom mended $22,500 for the technological school. Mr. Hurst of Walton, the watchdog of the treasury, wanted this cut to SIB,OOO, claim ing that this was the amount heretofore received by the institution except in 1892, when an extra $4,500 was allowed to pur chase machinery. Chairman Boynton of the committee, however, produced the records and showed Mr. Hurst that the was mistaken. Speaker Fleming, Mr. Brannon of Ful ton. and Mr. Humphreys of Brooks strongly advocated the recommendation of the committee. Mr. Hurst withdrew his amendment. * he Tec hnologlcal school will get $-2,500. The school wanted SIO,OOO more than this, but the finance committee, in view of the hard times, adopted the rule of Increasing no appropriations when it could possibly be avoided, and declined to make such a recommendation. An appropriation of $200,000 for each of the years 1895-96 was recommended by the committee for the lunatic asylum. Mr. Hopkins of Thomas amended by making it $210,000 for 1895, and $230,000 for 1896. He delivered a strong speech in favor of this increase, showing that the amount rec ommended by the committee would not support the institution. Mr. Willingham of Monroe also entered a convincing plea for the asylum. He quoted the record, showing that the in stitution is run on a plan of such econ omy as to place the cost per capita of maintaining its Inmates far below that of any other similar institution in the United States. He also took up the in crease in the number of inmates, and the large number of applications now pending, but which cannot be received' on account of lack of accomodation, and showed so plainly that the appropriation recommended would be insufficient, that at the conclusion of his argument Chair man Boynton arose, and said the com mittee had made its recommendation un der a misapprehension of the situation. When the bill comes up again to-morrow Chairman Boynton will agree to the in creased appropriation for the asylum, and it will tn all probability be made. Chair man Boynton said the finance committee had wanted to hear a recommendation from the asylum committee, but had heard nothing about the needs of the institution and therefore concluded that the same ap propriation as made for last year would be sufficient. The populists are after the snaps of the secretary of the Senate and the clerk of the House. Mr. Walden of Glasscock to day introduced a bill reducing the pav of the former from S6O to S4O per day and of the latter from S7O to SSO per day. It is a popular idea that the secretary and clerk have a fat snap, and every session they are kept in a sweat by the economic members. Both houses to-day received a report from the special joint committee on relief of the supreme court. The committee re ported adversely on the Bailey bill to submit another constitutional amendment for two additional justices to the people, on the Idea that such a course would not ! be advisable in view of the fact that the people only a short time ago rejected such an amendment. Mr. Boffeuillet of Bibb Introduced a res olution to-day authorising the governor to appoint a woman to the office of assist ant librarian, If he sees fit. It la under stood that Miss Ellen Dortch desires this position, and if the resolution offered to day la passed she will probably get it. A MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR He Makes a Number of Important Rec ommendations. Atlanta, pa., Nov. 26.-The governor sent a message to the legislature ; to-day in which he makes a num ; ber of very important recommendations. He calls attention to the urgent need of a reform in our judicial system, saying that the machinery of our courts needs to act more easily and with greater promptness. On this subject he says: i “It cannot be denied that the rate of in terest paid in Georgia is two or three times higher than in some other states of the union, largely because men who have money to invest prefer to put it where col lections are more certain, and where the courts can be relied upon to bring their cause to a prompt hearing. A dollar paid as interest in Georgia is worth to the money-lender in New York, New Eng land, or Europe, just as much as a dollar paid as interest in any other state. Men do not bring money here to lend at as low interest rate as in some other states, be cause it is not to their interest to do so. When our sureties are safe and unques tionable, and our courts act promptly i upon causes, money will be as cheap in ! Georgia as in New York. As a penalty in- I Aided because this is not true, our people are paying, in high interest and exorbi tant credit prices, an immense tribute. It is, therefore, to the advantage of the peo ple that our laws be so adjusted that they will aid in bringing down the rate of in terest in this state, which would invaria bly result in a large saving to our people, in bringing to Georgia a greater volume of money, and in giving impetus to the growth of her enterprises. A*properly con stituted judicial system can aid in the ac complishment of this result, and secure all other purposes for which courts are es tablished.” Speaking of the work of the judges the governor says: “The work of the judges in Georgia is notoriously unequal. In some circuits the jury work done by the judges will prob ably cover not more than twelve weeks in the year; in others, the jury work itself will approximate forty weeks. I most re spectfully urge upon the general assembly that a committee be appointed to investi gate and report at your next annual ses sion on the amount of work done in each judicial circuit, and also to report by bill how this can be equalized. When this work has been successfully accomplished the in itial step will have been taken which, I trust, will lead to a readjustment of our judicial system, so as to conform to the demands of our commerce and of our civ ilization.” In thiSjConnection the governor recom mends the passage of a law “requiring the clerk of each superior court in this state to transmit to the secretary of state, thirty days prior to the convening of the general assembly, in each year, a state ment showing the number of cases on dockets, how many of these cases have been in court longer than three years, and how many have been disposed of with trial by jury, and how many in chambers or by dismissal within the twelve-month just preceding the making of the report.” The governor urgently recommends the prompt revision of the penal laws. The necessity for such a reform he thinks is apparent to every well informed citizen of the state. He also approves all that Gov. Northen said in his message relative to chain-gangs. With reference to the recently adopted constitutional amendment authorizing the pensioning of confederate soldiers who are unable to provide for themselves, he says: “I suggest you get information as to tne probable number of pensioners who would be entered upon our pension rolls on ac count of the legislation carrying into ef fect the provisions of this amendment, and that when such information has been obtained, you act upon that subject in such a manner as to deal justly with the taxpayers, and meet fully and gen erously the needs of that class of our honored fellow citizens whom the gener ous people of Georgia Intended to aid by authorizing you to enact such legisla tion.’ In respect to ballot reform he says: "I urge upon you the necessity of changing our election laws, and providing a system wherein any unfair or fraudulent practices may be easily detected and effectively prevented. I cannot too strongly impress upon you, however, the necessity of de liberate action in this matter.” He has an encouraging word to say relative to the common schools, and also the schools which provide for technical and academic education. He thinks it should be the duty of the state school commissioner to systemize all our edu cational interests, and form them with one perfect and complete interest. He thinks the state should supply the buildings needed by the Normal and Industrial college. Speaking of the benefits of this college, he says; “Heaving out of question all higher and nobler considerations, and looking at it from an economical stand point alone, it cannot be denied that it is good policy on the part of . the state to spare neither pains nor money in the education of our daughters for work in the school room. Two things are necessary for the perfec tion of our common schools; one is thor oughly equipped teachers, and the other is money to pay them, that they may be in duced to enter into the business of teach ing. Until these two wants are supplied our educational interests must fail to accomplish the desired result.’ The governor has a good word to say for the militia. He says: “1 most earnestly recommend and urge that this general as sembly grant the necessary aid and proper encouragement to the military of this state. “The existing condition of our domestic affairs will undoubtedly encourage (he growth of lawlessness and increase those unfortunate occurrences which sometimes make the presence of the military neces sary to the enforcement of law and the preservation of peace. The militia is an essential part of the state government; it is the arm of the executive upon which he must, as a last resort, rely for the en forcement of the law. The existence of an effective military force is a conservator of the peace, and diminishes the number of outbreaks and the frequency of lawless acts.” 1 The governor invites close attention to the affairs of the Northeastern railroad. He says that it is being operated at a loss. He wants the legislature to advise what should be done with it. The mes sage of Gov. Northen in regard to it, while it stated the facts, was misleading. It showed the road was earning its oper ating expenses and paying Interest on the bonds on which the state is Indorser. The fact that the physical condition of the road was being permitted to deteriorate was not stated. This Mr. Cecil Gabbett points out In a report on the road. Fight on the Temperance Bill.
