BALLOT KEhORM.
Under th • e ection biv\ s now of force in this
state, it is in the power of every man to see
that li s vote i>* counted as cast. There is a
certa i.ty that, under this systein, the real
result of ft 1 • lection can be ascertained, and
th? will of lh«* people declared its expressed In
an election. V bl!o this is true, the process
of * onte-dins, where then* is no registration
law and no r qufi ement that men shall vote
In th*Mr own districts, mak**s the matter
a contest a hercui an ta-k. VhHe the right
of Tin* legai voter to have h^s vote counted
as cast is s cure, It to an extremoiy difficult
matter to purge tne b*i*lot box of Illegal
voie-**. I ti c ef*<re urge upon you the neces-
eity of chai g i-.g our election laws, and pro
viding a jys.em v»*hereln any unfair or fran-
dn ent pri.ciicee may be easily detected «nd
c-ff*ctively 1 revented. I cannot too stronglr
im -rees upon you, however, the nece-sliyof
deliberate action In this matter. Let It bo

of the general nssunldy is mature and clear
as ro wnat system can be best adapted to
the neces-ith s of the ease, and will be satis-
fi.c'ory to a people with the ideas and cus
toms of the people of G-orgla.
COMMON SCHOOLS.
It is hardly necessary for me to urge upon
ynu the necessity ofnueting the troubles
which are now confront ins the common
school Intel cuts of the state, ns I know you
will do this promptly.and w'seiy; but in ad
dition to this, I respeetrufiy urge that you
look to all oux educational interests and
make ir the duty of the state school commis
sioner to visit the high*r educational Innticu-

NORMAL TRAINING.
I am gratified to know that the people oi
the st<>t»* now recognize the value of normal
ttabling, and ntti al<*o gratified to he able to
r**p«»rt that tne work of tue no; mill depart-
m at of ti e Georgia Normal and Industiial

The power of any sertlon, of any peop'e,
Is measure 1 by thepr«»t?u tive powgr of.indi-
vidua b. Ti»'e uhe bicated and unskilled
laborer who earns but fifty cents per day
brings into circulation—adds too the weoltu
In existence—but *150 per annum, while tne
skilled b.boier who ran eani five UoUais per
day adds to tb? wealth of and brings into
drcnlai Inpin the community .where i.e lives,*.
>l,nu6 per aounni. One such ski Ld citizen
creates in one day os much weaitu as
created by ien of his unskilled n-ig*»bors. To
prop* r y utilize this gr« atluetor in tiie tils*’
trlbution of wealth, we must educate our
people thoroughly, increase their irbdur-
tiv* nem, and t Le* ei y iuciease the prodm ts,
the w ealtb and the pow e»* of the staie. The
w*ords “Ntirmul and Inous rial*-, in the name
of this institution, clearly indicate the scope
oi the Work done b3r tLls -school, and are
sufficient to commend It to all who desire
to foster the material and lutel ectualgrowth
of our beloved state.
THE UNIVERSITY.
To advance the euucationul interests of
the state Is, by far, the greatest work Within
the reach of the state government. The Uni
versity at Athens, the School of Technol* gy
the common schools, and every department
ot our'educational I tensts, should .receive
your aid and the fostering care;of tne state.
They tire not beggars. Money wisely spent
upon them Is not waste, nor is it a gratuit3*;
it 2s the best inv<siment tvh.ch the state can
make. The proper support of them is essen
tial to the progress, the development and the
dignity of onr state aim to the intellectual
greattiess of our people. The quan.ty of
wealth and happiness which the future will
bring to this eoplf, depends upon the char
acter of the education which they are to re
el Ive. The power aud prestige of this • eople
ki moulding the thought and formulating
. he pcill-y which guide aud control this na
tion, depends upon the course pursued In de
veloping the brain of.our people. Ve cannot
look to philanthropists, wo cannot look to
rich men for the sustenance ol our ednra
tional institutions, because the colossal for
tunes from which such aid 8<mietim>s com 8.
do not exist at the South. Ve must lo* k to
the state to properly sustain our institu
tions. It 1h the dut3* of our Htnte to educate
the people and perfict these educational in
stitutions.
THE MILITIA.
I most earnestly recommend and urge that
this g< neral assc fiil ly grant the ue ecstiry
nld and proper en* ourag* meat to the mill-
tars' i f this state.
The existing condition of our domestic
affairs will undoubted y encourage -the
grow’th oNawIessness and inctease thot-p
nfortunnto occurrences which sometimes

NCHtTHEASTERN RAILROAD.
The disposition of the Northeastern rail
road, now In tb** control of the state, de-
•i ves yonr ear ful cons! ’erution. It ih be*

you lathe mew age o m3' predeces-or in
d H«*e, It has. undei the lightexpenihtniehere.
tnforo requft'ed for repairs, paid somewhat
more than operating expenans, but its earn
ings do not pay the fixed charges upon the
road, and are not sufifi-ient to pay 01 emtiug
expensi 8 and cancel the inter st rtipous on
bonds of the road indorsed by tiie state.
That 1 might ascertain tbepre.-entphysical
ct ndliion of said road, 1 engaged Mr. Cecil
Gaohetr, an expert and ab.e railway oflic.r.
to examine and report to me upon its condi
tion. A copy of his report 1 transmit to you
wkb this message, and to it 1 invite your
peclnl attention. Tee report la a most ex
cellent one, and is a clear statement of Tacts
which shou d be in 3*our possersion in deal
ing with the Important quistfori glowing
out of tiie state’s relations to this property.
I desire this general as»-embly to udvtee
whether or not this property shall be now
sold, and, If not, what course should be pur
sued 1»3* the state in its management of It,
and whut should be done to meet the state’s
obi.Ration on bonds indorsed by it. 1* Is
ro-tliy of note in detirinining this question,
that while but a small aiuouut has b. eu ex-
peuded In repairs upon the road up to this
date, according to the report of Mr. Gabbett.
to which I have ref. rred, it will be neces
sary to expeud during the next year, a sum
considerably in excc.-s of that expended dur
ing tb s last year.
I ask you, also, to Inquire into the condi
tion aud valueof that part of th£ road (upon
which the state also has u claim to eecure
tiie bonds indorsed by it) lying beyond Lula
and reaching to Tallulah Falls. I most re
spectfully ask tiiat your honorub e body In
stitute inqu ry, and give me such advice as
'yo\i may deem wi>e, as to what course the
st a t-* should pursue with teference to the
part of the road in question.
In pursuance oi my ofifiiul duty. 1 submit
these suggestions to you. the repie^entat.vc*
of the people, whose prerogative It 4s to
enact iegi-.ation, to perfect onr laws, pro
mote our growth, and advance our c.vihza-

to. tho senate Monday morniug that
they did not .think it good policy to
again submit that question at this
lime. A bill introduced by Mr. Wil
lingham, of Monroe, to provide, for
the registration of all voters in Monroe

Z7tH Day—Tuesday morning the
eenate refused to pass the bill intro
duced by Senator Mercer to allow tbe
supreme court to announce its decis
ions, and not write them out, when
the amount involved is less than
§500. The committee on elections,
thnugh its chairman, Mr. Little, snb-
rnitted a report in the contested elec
tion case of Whitley vs. Williams,
from the 36th district. The report
cited various frauds practiced at some
of the election preciuctp, where Will
iams received largo majorities. The
repoitalso cited the fact that Will
iams had not paid his taxes for three
years before his election, and for that
reason was not entitled to a seat in the
senate. It recommended that WilliamB
be unseated and Whitley bo given the
seat. The rgport was adopted.
The oath of office was then adminis
tered to Senator Whitley by Associate
Justice Spencer Atkinson of the su
preme court, and he was escorted to
tbe seat formerly occupied by Mr. Wil
liams. It was a coincidence that Judge
Atkinson, who administered the oath
and Dr. Whitley were raised together
and were schoolmates. The house bill
introduced by Mr. West of Lowndes
providing forpaying the public schools
next year was taken up and passed.
As soon as the governor signs the bill
it will become a law. It provides pay
ment of teachers from January 1st,
1895, to July 1st.
2Sth Day.—Governor Atkinson has
started on his appointments. Wednes
day morniug he sent a long list of them
to the senate, among them being that
of Professor P. D. Pollock, of Macon,
to be state school commissioner in
place of Hon. S. D. Bradwell, the
present incumbent. Immediately af
ter the reading of the journal Senator
I’atmn moved that the argnmentive
portion contained in the minority re
port of the committee on elections be
stricken from the journal. The pres
ident ruled that the report could nut
be changed, whereupon Mr. Tatum
withdrew his motion. Senator Boyd,
chairman of the temperance committee,
submitted a report ou the bill to abol
ish barrooms. The report recommends
that the bill pass by substitute, which
is the bill of Senator Mercer. A nnm
her of new bills were introduced. Tho
following bills were passed: Bill pro
viding for tho appointment of audit
ors, prescribing their duties, fixing
their compensation, providing for a
method of making their reports and
regulating the practice in cases where
txceptions are filed to their reports;
A bill to regnlute the law of assign
ments for the benefit of creditors, to
fix the rights aud duties of sssiguors,
creditors und assignees, (this bill prac
tically does away with the extravagant
charges of receivers, and the. creditors
will get the money instead of the re
ceivers) ; Bill to relieve tho supreme
court from writing out their opinion
in certain cases, except when the case
is reversed, when they will send with
the remittur, the gronnds of reversal.
If affirmed they simply announce their
