Governor of Georgia—A llrll-
llunt Event.
Atlanta, Ga„ Oct. 27.—Hon. Wil
liam Y. Atkinson of the county of Cow
eta was inaugurate;) as Governor of
Georgia at uoon to-day in the presence
of as many people as could wedge thom-
solves inside the spacious hall of tho
House of Representatives.
One of the features of the occasion
was the presence of somo 200 girls from
the Millodgeville Normal and Indus
trial School, which Gov. Atkinson was
largely instrumental in founding while
in the Legislature. .The girl* woro all
dressed in their brown frocks and Ox
ford caps, and presented an unusunl
sight on the lloor of the legislative hall.
The crowd from out of town to wit
ness the inauguration ceremonies wns
un unusually large one.
Tho House and Senate convened in
joint session promptly at 12 o’clock, hut
on account of tho late arrival of the
train bearing tho girls from Milledge-
villo tho inauguration was delayed un
til nearly 1 o’clock. Mr. npd Mrs. At
kinson both wanted tho ceremonies to
wait on the Milledgqvillo delegation.
President W. II. Vonnblo of the Sen
ate presided during tho ceremonies.
Tho Speaker’s stand was prettily doeo-
rnted with pulms, and several large
bunches of roses and chrysanthemums
adorned tho desk in front, wliilo ubovo
tho Govornor-olect’s head was hung a
satin banner presented by tho Mil-
ledgoville Industrial School girls.
Mrs. VV. Y. Atkinson and Mrs. At
kinson, tho Governor’s mother, entered
the hall accompanied by Mrs. W. J.
Northon, Miss Atkinson and the three
young sons of tho new Governor.
Tho Governor’s wife and mother and
his children occupied tho front neats,
and were tho center of attraction, while
the crowd waited for the exorcises to
begin.
Mr. Atkinson, who was introduced
by President Venable, was greeted
with loud applause when he faced tho
audience.
Before boginning his address he asked
ns a special favor to him that ns many
of “hiB children” as possible bo admit
ted into tho hall. IIo reforrod to tho
girls of tho Industrial College, who had
just arrived at tho door, and they
crowded into tho hall. Many of them
stood upon tho platform about Lhe
Clerk’s desk, diroctly beneath tho new
Governor, whi’o others woro wedged
like sardines in ull parts of tho House.
After a few words about tho Industrial
Colloge and to tho girls who had parted
with their pin money to come to his in
auguration, Mr. Atkinson spoke as fol
lows:
Members of the General Assembly of
Georgia: I am about to enter upon tho
discharge of tho most important trust,
which, by tho will of a free and intolli •
gent people, i have boon selected to
perform, and avail myself of this sol
emn occasion to express the gratitude
which their partiality and their conll-
donco inspires.
Appreciating this, tho highest mark
of confidence which can bo bestowed
by the people of this great Stato, and
impressed by a consciousness of my
own inability to measure up to tho full
rofiuiroments of so high apd responsi
ble an ollice, I enter upon my public
duties witli a sincere purpose to dis
charge every obligation incurred in as
suming the authority vested in your
Chief Executive.
Many of my predecessors in office
have been illustrious men, than whom
none superior are to bo found among
the executives of any State in the
Union, yet none of those have given to
Georgia a cleaner or more admirable
administration than that which has
marked the official tenure of the ablo
and upright man whom I have the hon
or to succeed. Tho groat ability, lofty
character and successful administration
of many of those men, while awakening
within mo an ambition to successfully
servo my Stat?, admonishes me that it
will be difficult to reach the high stand
ard of efficiency attained by these em
inent Georgians. With this sense of re
sponsibility therefore, and with a knowl
edge of tho existence of perils equally
menacing to mysell and to" my nutivo
State, J assume the office to which I
have been elected, relying for aid upon
tho fidelity arid intelligence of the Rep
resentatives of the people hero assem
bled, upon all the officers charged with
public duties, upon the patriotic people
of Georgia who have never yet aban
doned a public servant who was faith
fully struggling to serve them, and,
above all, upon the watchful care and
guidance of an overruling JVovidencc.
Placed in charge of the affairs of
State at this important period in our
history, the interests committed to our
care admonish ua to forget all bitter
ness engendered by recent political
contents and unite with patriotic zeal
in an effort to preserve the rights and
liberties of the people. However wide
ly we may havy differed in our views
and preferences, we are all Georgians,
and must share alike the successes or
disasters, the good or the evil, the hon
or or ehameu which the future W.in
store for our beloved Stato. While
gratefully enjoying tho inestimable
blessings of free govoruiuont, wo should
consecrate our lives to an earnest en
deavor to proservo its principles, im
prove its laws and perfect its adminis
tration. Wo should strive to secure to
the people n government and a civiliza
tion which do not dazzle witli tho
splendor created by tho privileges of
favored clnsses, nor by the greed and
power of-monopoly, but whose prestige
and groatnoss come of a code of laws
which is a guarantee that the sumo
protection, right and privileges will be
granted to nil its citizens, however hum
ble, however exalted.
Under our excellent system of gov-
ernmont the reserved rights of tho
State, those powers which are confided
by t he people to tho State government,
covering as they do almost every poiut
relating to tho pecuniary interests, do
mestic relations and personal liberty of
tho citizen, are of imposing dignity aud
priceless value.
Tho power to soloct officers to aid in
tho administration of the laws of a sov
ereign commonwealth should not he
oxorclsod for the advancement of pri
vate ambition. The use of this power
should be controlled by a wise consider
ation for the public good. Each now
office becomes an additional fixed
charge upnn the earnings of tho tax
payers, and can bo justified only by im
porativo necessity.
Tho vigilance of tho puople in guard
ing their interests, uiui thoir reluctance
to assumo new burdens, have protected
them against much unnecessary taxa
tion. Often there is greater wisdom in
tho Intuitions of tho people than in tho
lonmod arguments of thoir statesmen.
A faithful and efficient performance of
all the functions of government de
mands that we outer upon the task of
so reforming tho methods of transact
ing public business that tho vordict of
the people will he ooo of approbation.
Government is n practical science, and
tho laws of n country should be adapted
to tho practical affairs of its people.
At no timo should tho taxing power be
used to take from the people a greater
sum than is required to meet the ex
penses of government, economically
administered, and oHpeciully in pe
riods of financial depression it is the
Imperative duty of public servants to
exact economy in every public expen
diture and levy the lowest lax rutepos
silile. An intelligent and progressive
people will not approve a policy which
by its stint, produces wasre nod retards
the progress of tho State, but they do-
mu nd that wise and huullhful economy
which promoted growth and is es.ten
tial to good government.
In securing to the people thebeneli .
of an economical administration, ar«
in the accomplishment of other bennd)
cent reforms, we are often called upon
to deal with questions tho solution <>l
which affect the interests, convenience
and ambition of our fellow-citizens, am
by these the timid and irresolute are
sometimes driven from the path of
duty. An officer of the Stato who fal
ters in such an emergency is unworthy
of trust. He who serves tho pooplo
wisely, courageously and unselfishly
will receive his reward in the merited
esteem of his countrymen, vho will
love him for the enemies which ho may
make by his devotion to duty.
A dun regard for tho welfare of
tho children of tho State demands that
all our educational interests lie care
fully fostered, harmonized and blended
into one complete and perfect system
—a system beginning with the
common schools and reaching to the
industries and develop with their skill
and capital our inexhaustible resources.
In the friendly and healthful rivalry
among States and nations, Goorginmust
not be laggard, but leudor. In t his im
portant era in our history, whenGeoi-
gia is soon to havo within her limits
the greatest exposition ever held upon
Southern soil, which will attract th ■
attention of the civilized world to the
character of our laws and institutions
and the resources and industries of our
State, we should pursue that course
which will invigorate, stroagtheu and
perfect every feature In the superb civ
ilization of the empire State of the
South.
The high and sacred trust confided
to the legislative end executive
branches of our government is to pre
lect the people from unjust taxation,
save them from the despotism of ig
norance by n liberal system of educa
tion, give strength and prestige to the
government by maintaining a well-
equipped niilitu, properly support our
public {institutions and various depart
ments of State, enact and enforce u
wise and enlightened system of laws
that will bloss tho country with the
highest typo of citizenship, develop our
resources, and produce un era of growth
and greatness. To accomplish those
desirable ends, wo must adhere to the
true theory of our government, assort
and retain every right which belongs to
Georgia as a sovereign State, and de
mand from both Stato ami Federal
governments that recognition anil res
pect which one sovereign is duo to
another. Tho citizen cannot bo expect
ed to respect or obey tho laws of the
Stato which dims not resontan invasion
of her rights, or un insult to her dignity.
Tho relations of the Federal and
State govorinonts should bo pleas-
nnt cordial. Each should recognize
and respect llm rights and dignity of
the other. During my term us chief
executive the Federal and Stato gov
ernments ahull be treated with justice,
respect and consideration, and 1 shall
expect of all other governments that
Georgia bo accorded that deference and
consideration to which she is entitled
by virtue of her power, her dignity, her
honor, aud her sovereignty.
1 onto' the office to which a partial
uiul confining people have called mo,
determined to co, secrato my best en
ergies and highest purposes to tho ser
vice of the Slate. That 1 may success
fully meet every obligation, discharge
every trust, and gratify an unselfish
ambition in promoting the happiness
ol my people, protecting the honor and
increasing the glory and greatness of
my native Htato, 1 Invoke tho earnest
prayers of every true patriot that tho
spii it of an all-wise God will guide me
in iglit, and inspirit ino with the wisdom,
the zeal, and the courage to kuow and
to do my duty.
VV lien Mr. At kinson concluded, turn
ing toward tho venerable Chief-Justice
Bleckley, ho said: “I am now
to take the oath of office.”
A* hush fell on
university -such a system as will insure
to our proud old State a splendid man
hood and a glorious womanhood. Cur
common schools are young and tho sys
tem is, as yet, crude and imperfect,
I’roliting by experience, from year to
your, and with continued aid and co
operation on the part of our legisla
tors in perfecting tho system and pro
viding liberal appropriations, they will
soon he brought to a higher perfection,
in all tho essentials of improved meth
ods and practical usefulness,
Tho great need of our common
schools is trained teachers. Tho child
in search of light should havo a skillful
guide. Every school should bo presi
ded over by one who has mastered the
business of teaching and whose private
life will impress the pupils with lessons
of a pure morality. These propositions
have been recognized by the State in
the establishment first,, of a university
of high grade, and latterly of normal
schools.
The possibilities of our future, the
extent and magnitude of our interests,
tho growth of our population, the prog
ress arid happiness of our people, our
splendid civilization, all demand that
every State institution and every de
partment of government receive such
support as will insure the successful ac
complishment of the purposes which
justified their creation.
Lot us preserve all that is good in
our laws and institutions, eradicate the
evils, and utilize in our growth all the
mighty agencies that promote good
government. If we would augment,
our power we must move, forward in
touch with tho civilization of the uge.
We must foster a spirit of progress, and
observe in conducting the business of
the State a broad and liberal policy.
This course will arouse new hopes in
our people, broaden their horizon, en
noble their purposes, enrich their lives,
elevate our citizenship, awaken new en
terprise, bring to the .State marvelous
wealth, and make her future great,
grand and glorious. Such a policy,
while promoting our business interests,
will assure the thrift, enterprise, skill
and capital of the world that in Geoc*
gia every citizen is secure ia his righto—
that Georgia invites within her borders

your ability presorvo, protect and de
fend the Constitution thoroof, and the
Constitution of tho United States of

Gov. Northon then aroso and faced
Gov. Atkinson, handing him the groat
seal of the Stato, as ho said: “It now
bocomos my duty to deliver to you the
great soul of tho .Stato of Georgiy
which under the oath you have just re
corded you will guard sacredly, in the
interests and the honor of tho people
from whom you proceed.”
Mr. Atkinson received tho Heel anjJ

A. D. Candler saying: “I return thia
soul to the man selected by the people
of Georgia to guard it, knowing that in
his hands the interests and tho honor
