Speech of Hon- J- S- James-
CANDIDATE for senator
from THE 36TH SENA
TORIAL DISTRICT.
Delivered in the Court House at
llouglasville.ou the first
Tuesday iu May.
Fellow Citizens of Hie County of
Dour/las:
There has been a custom of long
standing, for ali who seek Legisla
tive positions to come before the
people and declare their views on,
at least, some of the measures or
questions that arc exciting the pub
lic mind; and according to previ
ous arrangement, I appear before I
you on this occasion to discuss,-(is 1
understand, some of tlie issues or
measures which are likely to ta n e
up before the next General Assem
bly of this State, and in announcing
myself as n candidate for the Sen
atorial District, i prnpt sc in the
outset to state that my can iitlacv is
jntirely subject to the Senatorial
Convention, which is lobe held in
this district. Unless I rc eeive the
lomination, I will not be a candi-
iato. I am subject to the Democ
racy of this .District, and should
my own county go against me, I
will not push my claims fur-
,her before the Conven
tion. I will support wh icver is
nominated. As my candidacy will
depend on whether 1 am indorsed
for the position by my own county,
I thought best to open the cam
paign here at home.
I was born and raised in this
jonnty. The people of my own
iouiity know me better than I am
known anywhere else. You know
ny advantages and disadvantages;
almost every act, both public and
private, from my earliest infancy
up to the present, are known to the
people of the county of Douglas. J
do not know who my opponents
will be. Several worthy gentle
men have been mentioned; l sup
pose in good time they will make
their appearance. All I can ask
now is, should I have opposition
for the office, that when Chartres of
any kind are made against me, is
to give me a chance to be heard be
fore they make a final decision. I
trust 1 will he ahl to answer each
and all of them to the entire satis
faction of all the people of this Sena
torial District.
I know, my fellow-citizens, when
I put my name up as a candidate
before the people, 1 must pass un
der the critic’s eye, and in pointing
his finger at me, he must be allow
ed to have his sport and fun. I
know too, I will get my portion of
the abuse by those who may see
proper to oppose me. I enter into
the race with a full knowledge
that I must stand to whatever may
he put upon me, trusting all the
whilethat the calm judgment and
sovmd reason of the people will
cause them to consider well all im
portant matters before they act. 1
do not mind opposition when it is
put on high, honorable grounds. I
will under no circumstances, slan
der anyone to get office; a man
should run on his merits and not
on the demerits of his opponent. 1
donor claim for myself any sort ot
perfection; all I claim is to be an av
erage Georgian. If I could see my
perfections as perhaps you see
them, I would know better how to
govern myself in the future.
(Hi! wad some l’ow'v the giftie cie

To see oursels as others see us
It wad (rue rnoiiie a blunder free us,
And foolish notion.
Men do not appear to have been
created by chance; all mandkind
possess certain qualities, faculties
and desires which move and rule
them, whether they he civilized or
not In all societies, whether of
civilized nation or uncivilized, there
are certain rules and regulation
which all must adhere to which
must and will govern the conduct
of each individual, whoever he
may he. People in all countries
have propensities to gaihe
flocks or herds, and it has been a
univcisal practice that some rule
should be laid down among them as
to what conduct should he lawfu
and what unlawful. Hence, in all
well regulated Governments, it is
a test necessity that there
ii,,h g ei,er81 ruie =
should l-jnsMa f ,ith observe the
and all - we have a -bad
rule prescribed. repeal of it

"i» llL ' C6rta '" t0 Wer importance

authority to maki shouM look,

and consider we l l wjth ftUthor _
They who are c. Ui hts of other _
Hy to say what the \ ^ , trong
people shall he, shotf oflhe pe0
pressure of the. ^jjlance of life,
pie, the great Kupolft
liberty and the enjoy** 613
erty. All laws should he made I I don’t know that it is at all im-jPeting lines of railroad shooting
with a view to the past, present,| portant that I should say anything across every section of country, mj
and especially the future. The
prosperity of the people ought to
be looked to, and their happiness
carefully guarded, because when
happiness is said to be at its best, it
is only momentary and then passes
away:
But pleasures are like popies spread
You sic-ze the flower, its bloom is shed,
Or, like the snowfall in the river,
A in mumt white—then.melts forever.
So what happiness the people do
enjoy, should be guarded with the
very best and highest judgment of
the Legislator, and bsfore a Law
of long standing should he repeal
ed, it should be well weighed and
its effects fully discussed. The gov
ernment of the United States, un
der the constitution, is divided into
three general heads:—the Execu
tive, Judicial ami Legislative; and
so, utnl r the (' institution of the
State of Georgia, we have the Ex
ecutive, Judical and Legislative
qumnients. The Legislature
makes the law, the Judiciary de
bits all questions arising out of,
and construes the law, and the
Executive sees that the laws are
■ uuhfully i t-cued and f’-Uy car
ried out. Under the. Com fution,
all of our laws are made, ( .1 noth
ing can be passed by the legisla
ture which comes in coi| ict with
the Constitution. Now, with these
general preliminary remarks, I
will proceed to discuss first,
THE ROTATION SYSTEM
n this District. In the last Con
vention there was a resolution
passed 'that the rotation system
-hould still prevail in this district
ind it was agreed that the repre
sentation in the convention should
lie as follows:—Meriwether IT
Coweta is, Campbell 12, and Dou*
las 10 delegates each. Some, of our
people fear that Coweta and Meri
wether will go back on the rota
tion system. So far as I am con-
rned, I do not believe any such
thing. They have shown no dispo-
ition to do so, and I feel confident
they will in good faith standby the
rotation system and give the Sena
tor to this county. Of course, some
independent may come out and
run, but it will do no good; the
Democracy will not support him—
hence, 1 deem it unnecessary tor
me to soy more on his subject. I
am not, prepared to say what
changes should be made in
OUU EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
It certainly needs some. I be
lieve iu carrying out that provis
ion of our Constitution which says
that the General Assembly shall
provide tor a thorough system ot
free schools in instructing the chil
dren in the elementary branches
of an English education. Should
(lie House of Representatives in
Congress, pass the Blair Education
al Bill, it will become the duty of
the Legislature to look well to it,
and see that Georgia gets her share.
The colored people of the South
were turned loose without educa
tion. It was bad enough to take
them from their owners without
pay, and to make the people ef the
South pay for their entire educa
tion would he wrong and unjust.
Iftlie Blair bill passes, I trust that
our Legislature will act .yiselyand
secure whatever we are entitled to
under the provisions of the bill, ac
cording to the illiteracy of the
people of this state. Georgia can
never be a grand and glorious state
until she educates her people, and
the whole of them; for us to meas
ure hands with the balance of the
world, we inu-t have our people
well trained in learning. Educa
tion teaches us our duty to man
to the world and especially to God.
It enlightens our judgment, ex
panda our reason and develops
those faculties in us which make
men and women wise in all things
appertaining to this lite, and the
life to come. From it we learn to
govern ourselves by reason and
Judgment, and not by prejudice
amfpassion. Thebetterthe educa
tion, the happier the people; and
when the minds of the people of
any nation are trained in matteis
of thought in any branch of learn
ing, it leads one step higher into
civilization and good government
It inspires us with brighter hopes
for the future, and leaves a happy
recollection of the past. Then, I
say, the final hope of any nation is
the education of the people. Well
might jhe f>oet have said:—
■’Eternal hope! when yonder spheres
sublime,
Pealed their first notes to sound the
march of time.’’
STOCK LAW.
In some sections of the country
it is well enough to have the stock
law; and in other sections, toe peo
ple would be belter ofl without it.
Mv own opinion on the question is,
that we do not need any change in
the law; -it is now left where it prop
erly belongs—that is, with the
voters of each county or district.
If the people want the stock law,
let a majority of them vote for it,
if they do not want It let the major
ity of them vote agaiDst it.
CAPITAL, LABOR, STRIKES, Ac.
on tlie subject of “Strikes.” But as
there is some trouble iu some sec
tions of the country, I do not think
it amiss to make a few remarks as
tu what I think about it. I main
tain that all the workmen have
a right to make their own
terms with their employers,
and it can make no differ' n.ce,
—so far as their right goes—wheth
er they act as one mail or in num
bers, great or small, of tneir fellow
laborers, in are-arranging terms.
All laws having for their object the
preventionof such combinations and
strikes, are unjust and oppressive.
Every tmmhas an inalienable righ t
to seek to better his own condition
-anil must be let alone to decide in
his own discretion the means to do
this, saving only, of course, that
he must at all times keep the peace
and have due respect for the law and
observe it. As a workman has no
defense against an oppressive em
plover except a threat to leave him^
it is llieextreme of injustice to de
prive him of that.
When a laborer strikes, he exer
cises imly the liberty ot deciding
lowborn, and on what terms he
will give his labor, and to interfere
with this right Would be to take
away his freedom, and make him
a siave. But the right he has and
uses he must allow others, and the
striker has no right to coerce any
other working men to join him.
When he does that he himself be
comes a criminal of a very grave
character, for his wrongs affect the
rights of all working men. If
it were granted, a striker might
rightfully force another working
man to join him, lie would thereby
give up his own rights and liberties;
for clearly if he may abridge the
freedom of another, somebody else,
by the same right, may lessen bis.
If you h ive a right to force me not
to work, another may have the
same right to force you to work.
The striker therefore commits the
greatest and most absurd tyranny
when he interferes to force some
itlier man to work or cease to work.
.Such things I hold to be contrary
to every principle of right, justice
and equity between the employer
and the employee. If one man can
not a fiord to work for another for
what he, the employer, will pay, let
him strike and quit, and go some
here else and if all of his associates
will strike with him, all right, let
t :em do it. Bat in no case has
the laborer a righ t, by force
to keep others from work
ing for such employer for whatev
er they may agree upon. Any other
rule would destroy the right of con
tracts, and unsettle the security in
property and abridge the liberties
of a free people. An amicable settle-
ni of differences of this kind be
tween the parties, wouid be prefer
able, but if they cannot, by agree
ment in some way, come to terms,
ro force should be used by
either party to make them doit.
RAILROADS.
I come now to speak on a sub
ject that some of uiy friends may
siilVr with meon, but the difference
:.(.f a very small nature, and a
mere question of policy. I am in
lavor of a It. R. Commission, and
have always expressed myself that
way. Other gentlemen, much wis
er and better posted as to the slate’s
interests than I am, believe there
ought not to he a railroad comiuis
sion. They . contend from their
standpoints of reason, it keu-ps hack
to a very great extent the develop
ment of the various resources of
this state, and that it retards the
building of railroads in Geotgia.
Whether this is true or not, I am
unable to say. But I do say this
much, that I favor a railroad com
mission judiciously managed, one
that will carefully guard every in
terest the people have from the
strong arm of such corporations as
would in any way see proper to
oppress or extortion upon them. I
favnr a judicious management of
the Commission so as to do justice
to the people and the railroads. At
the same time, 1 am of the opinion
that Georgia should show t le same
liberality to induce capital into
her borders as her sis
ter states do. The immediate
resources of no country can be
developed without railroads. To
build upour waste places, we must
have transportation for freights
and passengers, and that in the
cheapest and best way possible, and
in order to do this we should at all
times so frame our laws as to bring
out this result.
No one in this state would con
tend for a minute that justice should
not be done to all of her citizens
and a proper regard had for all the
interests in our state, and so man
aged that one interest shall not im
pose upon another. I believe if our
people would look to the internal
improvement of the state, we would
not only he the Empire state of the
South, but other states in the Union
would look on Georgia with pleas
ure and admiration. I long to see
the time come when Georgia will
taka the lead as a manufacturing
own opinion is that they wouid add
more to the convenience, wealth
and prosperity of nur people than
any o. her one kind of enterprise. If
we ceuld have them, and have them
managed justly by our Commission,
it would be a great thing for the peo
ple. I want to see the time come
when we will have factories enough
in our own state to manufacture
every lock of cotton made in it, and
in place of sending our cotton off to
be manufactured, let it be done at
home, then our farmers will be able
to get the very highest prices for
their cotton and other produce rais
ed each year, and in place of the
State being in the depressed condi
tion she is after her crops of cotton
are sold, and the money returned
$o.our Noithern friends for the nec
essaries of lite, wo will have almost
a self-sustaining concern, and in
place of all the money in the coun
try being gone, we will have it con
tinually coming into our State to
purchase our manufactured goods.
If this was done, it would furnish to
thousands Of the women and chil
dren employment, who are to-day
without the necessaries of life. In
this way immigrants would pour
Into our State and we could march
on in prosperity till ever Georgian
could look upon his state and boast
of her industry and progress of her
peop’e. Oi>ourse no one need ex
pect this to come about at once.bu t
the quickest way to bring it about
should be adopted. I do not own a
single dollar’s interest in any rail
road, and don’t know that I ever
will. I am no champion of rail
roads, but we need several of them
in this Senatorial District. It would
be a good thing for the people of
Coweta and Meriwether if a con
necting line was built from Green
ville to Newnan and for both of
these counties and Dosglas and
Campbell to extend from Newnan
through Campbell and Douglas and
across the Georgia Pacific in the
neighborhood of Salt Springs and
E. T. V. & Ga., at or near Powder
Springs, and on to Marietta. If this
could be done, it would give each
of us competing lines east, west,
north and south, and would greatly
build up our section of the State
and give us a send off that would
last us for years. And if our people
would only take hold of it and
work together, we could carry it
through. It would also be a very
important thing for the people of
Campbell, that she should have at
least a branch road built from the
Georgia Midland, this would give
the people of Campbell competing
lines in all directions. If this pro
gramme could be carried out, it
would do more for this Senatorial
district than any other one thing
that occurs to my raiud. But I
am in favor of having both railroads
and commission. One thing we
should carefully guard in our laws
is, that the stockholders in one rail
road should not be stock-holders in
any other competing line in our
State. So far as the county of
Douglas is concerned, I give it as
mj opinion she will have another
railroad in less than twelve months,
but I am not at liberty at present
to intimate to you its general plans.
I hope to see it come soon. My
opinion on any and ali questions of
policy is to take a conservative
view and look for the right and do
the right. The best plan to bring
about the thing most desired should
be adopted. I suppose the conven
tion which meets in this district
will express their views on the
Railroad Commission when they
put out their candidate. Whoever
the nominee may be, it will be his
duty to carryout, in good faith, the
wishes of the people in matters of
this kind One who is elected
by the people, is the servant of
the people; and if his views
and the people’s should
differ as to any question ot policy,
he should adopt their views and
carry them out, because, after all, a
Senator and a Representative are
nothing but servants of the people
and are in the Legislature for no
other purpose than to do their will
and wishes on all questions. And
should they desire no change, so
far as I am concerned, no change
will be made in the present Rail
road Commission laws. I have
heretofore, while in the Legisla
ture, used my best efforts to have
such laws passed as would promote
the very best interests of all the
people of the State. I have not
heretofore, and shall not in future,
if elected, support anything that
would injure in the least any inter
est that the people have. I am not
bound by any tie whatever to any
corporation or monopoly of any
kind, and am under no obligations
to them more than to see that jus
tice is done to all of our citizens
alike.
From the best information I can
gather a large majority of the peo
ple of this district are opposed to
any change in our present Railroad
Commission laws, a d should I be
elected I shall not vote for or support
any bill or measure to change in
e-s instructed to do so by res-.du-j in the State, on the
■ i«>n of the eon vent ion that is to meet
;i this district, but will allow it to
s. oiid a- it is. It always affords me
great pleasure to carry out to the
letter the will and wishes of the
ucople whom I represent. While I
was in the Legislature I was on the
people’s side of every measure that
came up, and 1 defy the world to
show one vote I ever cast that would
in the least favor any monopoly
against the interests of the people
ot Georgia.
THE STATE ROAD.
I am opposed to the sale of the
State road. It might, under certain
circumstances, become necessary to
sell it, but such do not occur to me
now. I think the better plan would
be to lease it. Place a limit on the
power of the Governor in leasing
it, that it shall not be leased for
less than forty or fifty thousand
dollars per month, and as much
more than this as possible, and to
pass such laws in this connection as
will carefully guard the property of
the State. The Georgia Railroad is
leased for $50,000 per month, and
the state only receives twenty-five
thousand dollars for its road, a much
more valuable piece of property.
The State Road is one of the most
valuable railways in the state, and
ns value will increase from year to
year, and a very guarded action
should be taken by the Legislature
in relation thereto. It might be best
to sell it, if it would pay the entire
debt of the State. I ain inclined to
loubt it. I believe it can be easily
rented for fifty thousand dollars
per month. If thi3 is done it would
add a considerable amount to our
present educational fund and re
lieve the people of $151)0,000 taxes
each year.
FARMING INTEREST.
The greatest interest we have in
our State is the agricultural. I am
in favor ot passing all laws p issible
to increase the farming industry of
Georgia, and if there is any class of
people in this land who have my
deepest and warmest sympathy, it
is the farmer. I am opposed to ar
raying one class ot people against
another,because it takes all kinds
to make up a government; yet I do
believe the farming class is the
worst imposed upon ot any occu
pation : generally the cotton crop is
bought and sold long before it is
made. One very great t-ouble with
the farmers is the credit system, as
is run in our country nowadays.
By it they break themselves and
break the merchants who sell them.
One other great trouble is the loose
way that they buy and use guano.
I am not opposed to the use of fer
tilizers,hut they ought to be used in a
very judicious way. I think all
laws possible ought to be passed so
as to require a good article sold.
Whatever is right and justice be
tween the farmer and the guano
dealer ought to take place. There
are other great troubles in the way
of the prosperity of our farmers, but
I have not time to speak of them
to-day. But suffice it to say if I am
elected to the Senate from this dis
trict I shall feel it my duty to look
carefully to all laws that affect our
farmers, and will use my best ef
forts to advance their interest
any and every way possible. I long
to see the day cmne when our farm
ers can get something like a reason
able price for their cotton and oth
er produce raised by them.
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE
STATE.
Georgia’s climate is genial and
healthy, with every variety to suit
the immigrant, whatever may be
his occupation or pursuit in life.
Should he desire to raise rice, cot
ton, fruits, oranges or early vegeta
bles and fruits for northern con
sumption, he can find a suitable
place in Georgia. If "he wants to
raise corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley
and other grains, he can find a good
place in Georgia, and should he de
sire to raise clover and grasses of
all kinds he can do so on Georgia
*>il. If ho wants to raise stock of
all kinds he will find no better place
than this State. We can raise ai
most everything in Georgia that
the necessaries ot life call for. We
have high and low lands suited to
diversified production. The climate
is inviting to all, and will well re
munerate all who desire to make
an honest living by almost any oc
cupation or avocation of life. This
being true, I believe all necessary
legislation should be had, that will
tend to induce good, desirable im
migrants to come among us, and
thus help to develop the magnifi
cent and diversified resources of
our grand old state. With proper
legislation to this end, it will be but
a short time until it will be indeed
and in truth the “Empire State of
the South.” If elected, I snail do
all that in me lies to accomplish
this end.

v.iter power in their borders which
• tight to be utilized and developed,
and factories and mills built upon
them. We have in the district a
great many mineral springs ot
strong potency. In Douglas, the
celebrated Bowden Lithia Springs,
nore commonly known as Salt
Springs, besides other fine mineral
-prings in the county. Salt Springs,
no doubt, is one of the best springs
any where in the whole country
The time will soon come when it
will be known far and near for the
wonderful cures it will and has al
ready affected. Other portions of
the State have as good water power
as we have and perhaps better in
■some particulars. Georgia is lined
almost from one side to the other
with fine water power—we need
capital to build them up in manu
factories of one kind and an ither.
The development of cotton factories
is progressing with a great stride.
The manufacture of cotton where
it is grown is the idea that is seiz
ing the world, in every instance it
has proven profitable. In 1SS1 we
had invested in Georgia in manu
factories the following sums:
Bibb $77,500, Brooks $13,955, Clark
$260,000, Cobb $156,750, Coweta $7,-
500, Early $6,500, Greene $52,000,

>00. Making a total of $3,176,000,
making a grand total of $5,142,070,
Since 1881 there has been consider-
ihle investment in factories in tlie
date,in Augusta, Richmond county,
and other portion! of the state, per
haps to the amount of $2,500,000, and
1 trust in a few years to see the fig
ures doubled.
We have in Georgia now com
pleted, over 2,700 miles of railroad
property, ol an estimated value of
seventy-five million dollars. The
original cost of the railroads was
upwards of fifty million of dollars.
I would be glad in the next twenty
years to see this much more invest
ed. If we only had as much invest
ed’ in manufactories of various
kinds as we have in railroads, we
would be fast gaining pace on the
rest of the States in the Union. In
order to build up our State we
must foster all and every occupa
tion of life and invite the balance
ofthe world to join us in our at
tempt to carry the Empire State of
the South into a higherState of civ
ilization, to assist in developing our
resources, in building our factories,
building railroads, utilizing our
farms, converting our inine3 into
merchantable products, in advanc
ing agriculture, in building upour
wasteplaees, in converting our pine
timber into money, in building us
up in education, aud to assist and
help us in all things that will lead
us to success, and in that which
will place Georgia in advance, if
possible, of any other State in the
Union. Georgia has had great men
and has them yet, and if each and
all of them, rich and poor, high and
iow, white and black, would join
together and make a long and
steady pull in all things, it would
lead us in advance of all our sister
states. The depressed condition
the country has been in for several
years, 1 trust, is about over. I
think I can see in the near future
better times, and I believe it near
at hand when the whole country
will rise from the financial press
ure that has been upon it for sever
al years, and 1 hope to see the en
ergy ot the people again quickened
and ali march along together m
perfect peace and harmony and to
prosperty and plenty.
Ill R CONNECTION WITH ATLANTA.
This portion of the State is close
ly identified with Atlanta. With
railroads penetrating every sec
tion ol country, she wields a great
influence over the surrounding
country. For energy, tier people
are not surpassed, if equaled, by
any city south. One of the brightest
gems in Atlanta is the Constitution.
The management ot this paper is
exceptional. It has men of brains
at its head and men of modern
ideas. I give it as my opinion
