ATLANTA BUDGET
CONTINUED FROM JHIRD I'AliE.
filled the galaries, joined, when!
they caught sight of the command
jog form of Governor A'kinsoE.
After a few preliminaries were
gone through with, Col. N. Hi
Hammond Pres. of the Board of j
Trustees, began an address into i
which ho put all of that vigorous
style and clearness, and force of
expression for wnich he has been
so 1 ng noted, and which h»s
stamped him as <i e f ti e brainest
men and meet logical speakers in
the State.
His speech was one of great
force, and undoubtedly impressed
his l eirers very greatly .
When he had concluded there
were calls for Dr. W. H. Felt u.
“the old man eloquent.” who was
present with the Trustees. Senator
Battle offered a resolution inviting
Dr.Felton to spnak.This resolution
was passed enthusiastically.
Dr. Felton being too feeble to
stand was given a seat upon the
Speaker’s rostrum, and then was
enacted a scene which those who
witnessed it wilt never forget. Dr.
Felton is quiet an old man. His
hair is snowy white. His face is
almost fleshless, and his form is
bent and palside, but seated in hie
chair he delivered a speech which
fairly electrified his audience Hie
voice was strong and and vigorous,
and his speech showed, that while
his body is failing, his mental
powers are as vigorous and as ac
tive as they have ever been,
The whole assemblage listened
to him with rapt and almost
breathless attention. He has been
a life long friend of public educa
tion, and if he was partial to any
on e Institution of learning, the
Institution has been the State
U Diversity . As the older members
of his audiance listened to his
brilliant and powerful speech,
they must have been forcibly re
minded of those days when Hill,
Toombs and Stephens stirred the
people with their matchless el
oquence.
While the whole of Dr. Felton’s
speech was magnificent, his pre
prorationwas the grandest part of
his address. “I pray you honor
able members of the General as
sembly,” said he, “that you shall
not take one dollar from the fund
of the State University. If you
do you will write above the portals
of that Institution, ‘none but the
rich can enter here.’ God forbid.
Would you have the places of
power and influence in your state
fi led by the rich on'y?
“Touch not, I pray you, this
fund, but let the tuition at the
University, at your Industrial
Scnool and your Normal school
and your Technological School, be
free, so that the young men and
young women who are doing men
ial work among your mountains of
North Qjorgia, and in the wire
grass of South Georgia may look
up and live.”
“I speak to you today, gentle
men of the General Assemb y,
as a Georgian. 1 have not one
dollar’s interest in the Sta t
University .1 now have no chil
dren to be educated and I heg o:
you as a Georgian, that you d(
no injury ,to the State Univer
sity. Wherever 1 am wherever
1 go, the proudest c aim of myjolc
h art is that 1 am a Georgian
May it < v< r be so.”
This c i c'nding porting of hi
speech w..- i c ived wtb thunder
ons applause, and as the o (
gentlemen passed down lhe ai-b
ai <1 ■ ut of the hall with the othe
members >f the 80-ird of T. ustees,
he was the cytosine of all
eyes, and there were not a few t<
whom the thought occurred tba

not questioned but that the op
ponents of University may c. ntin- 1
ue the agitation of the nmttsr of
re-moving the Agricultural College 1
which means the taking away of
the land-scrip fund from the Uni
versity.
If it shall result that the Uni- ,
versify retains this fund as it now
seems probab'e, it will be a great
victory for the friends of the Uni
versity, and not a little part of
this triumph will be shand by
Hon. John D. L'ttlecf Muscogee,
who as a member of the Blalock
Committee has made such a
valiant fight for the University.
It is of interest to note in this
connection, that it is rumored,
and seems to be true, that the
report of Hon. Pope Brown’s
committee w ill recommend the
removal of the Agricultural
College from the State University.
Rumor has it, also that this will
be a plank in the platforms of
Mr. Brown and of Hou. Martin
V. Galvan, the former being
regarded as possible candidate for
Governor, and the latter being a
postive candidate for office of
Commissionar of Agriculture.
THE CONVICT QUESTION.
As already stated in your col
umns, the House has begun upon
the consideration of the convict
1
question, which has been general
ly regarded as the most important
question to come before the Gener
al Assembly at this session.
Briefly stated the status of * the
matter is this: Hon. H. A. Hall,
ot Coweta, has introduced a bill
I providing a plan out of which a
I permanent penitentiary will be
( solved.
The bill provides that the able
} bodied convicts shall be leased for
the term of five years, and that
’. the proceeds from the leasing of
the convicts shall be devoted to
the purchase of farming lands
upon which a permanent puiiten
tiary may be located, and upon
, which the convicts 'eased out may
I be placed at the expiration of five
years,and if the Legislature thinks
j proper, they may be leased for
another term of five years. The
j opposition plan provides for the
e re-leasing of the convicts, as at
present, though provisions are
proposed which will prevent mis
treatment of convicts.
A HARD WORKING BODY
B The present session of the Leg
e 'slature has witnessed more hard
word on the pait of a large nurn
bers of the Members that any
o previous session for several years
.. The spirit of economy in the
r appropriation of the people’s
(j money seems to pervade that
j body, and any appropriation is
carefully examined and discussed
before.it is made. This fact is
r recognized when one listens to
j any discussion with lefirence to
| ( , any Department. The members
..j set mto be th< roughly imbued
l with the idea that they must be
I economical in the use of the State’s
funds,
The senate is made up of very
bright and lluential men and
some of the controversies which
ir ,
, nave ar sen in tne course of the
business in that branch have been
replete wih wit, and wisdom,
