A’lanta, Oct. 84.—Tfce* lower houne of the Georgia legislature met this morning and organized with the elec tion of the officers nominated by the demoeratic caucus held just before the regular session convened. The house was called to order by John T. Botfeullet, clerk of the last house. Prayers were then offered. Then the members were sworn in by Associate Justice Lumpkin. N. A. Morris of Cobb was elac’.ed speaker pro 'em. John D. Little of Muscogee was re elected speaker and John T. Bolle let clerk. E. T. Durham was elected messenger aud J. 8. Wll Ilford of Fa yette doorkeeper. Mrs, T. K. K. Cobb was appointed postmistress. Following Is a synopsis of ths gov ernor’s message; It is a source of muok gga ifio.tjjtfn to me that I am able to congratulate the rep-esentatives of the people on the greatly onditUn of the State since the adjournment- of the last gen eral assembly. No pestilence have visited our shores. A kind Providence has blessed the hus bandmin with fairly good crops, yje price of out great staple, co.ton, upon wh ch our prosperity so largely depends has almost doubled, our farmers have turoed more than eve- before to a di-. versified agriculture, the last harvest yielded twfoe as much Wtjjjfet as has ever been produced in any. other year for the last fprty, thus enabling them to * te p at home large sums of money which have heretofore gone to the north.., west for bread-itufis. The tax digests show an increase of taxable wealth in the State of $19,203,. •Ilk 00 aud this increastogether with the most rigid economy in all ttte de j partmeats of thes’ate government, has enabled ns to reduce taxation a little over atljllar a thousand. 'i he credit of uo slate in the union, nor, intk’ol, that of ,pb ; general govern ment is better tha i that of Georgia. From these reports it will be seen that the total receipts at the treasury tor th; fiscal yearliuve been $2,. r i42,0(i0, and the disbursements $3,004,700. From the report of the treasurer it will be seen that there is in the treasury $832 000, derived from the sale of public prop erty, which can under the Constitution, he applied to no purpose other than the piyment of the bonded deb 1 . The state has no bonded debt due till I'Jls, except that which is provided for by the sinking fund. Hence, Ihe ques tion arises, what shall be done with this money? It has been suggested that the Constitution ehould be so amended as to authorize the su'pension of the collection of the sinking fund temporarily, or that this money be ap plied to the payment qf the interest on, the bonded debt. Owing to the infrequent necessity of BRUNSWICK, GA. THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 25, 1900. calling out the military to suppress mobs and to aid the civil authorities in. enforcing the law; and by the closest economy in the expenditure of the tnil ltary fund, the appropriation of <30,000 made by the last general assembly, has not been exhausted, but after paying all other legitimate charges against It and in addition thereto a bounty of <l5O 00 ■o each company is the state to aid it-in paying armory rent, etc., there will probably be at the end of the j ear, an unexpended balauoe of about seven thousand dollars.

PUBLIC BCHOOOL FUND. - 1 regret to have again to call the attention of Assembly to the unsatisfactory condition of the public school fund. There has been advanced out of the general fuud under authority of the act of December 8,1887, s.'ioo,ooo,whioh moat under the law be repaid into the general fund out of the acbool fund now being oolieoted, 'Then two lia bilities of the school fund will amount to $1,240,000, which, when taken out of the acbool fund of $1,440,000, which ought to go to the payment of teachers next year, will leave only $200,000, not enough to pay them for one month’s work. I know of but two waya of remedy ing this evil. One is to provide means to pay what is now due the teachers for work already done, and let the taxes collected this year gvmj&g pay ment of teachers next near fes the law contemplates; and the other it to sus pend the tohools for a half year, or until the sohoplfund supplemented by an advance of $400,000 from the gen eral fund, otn oetob up with the de mands upon it! Bet it Is of great im portance that some remedy be applied. It Is due the teachers. They should not be required-to work on oredit and be drfyen to the neoeaaity of discount ing t heir claljpi to curbstone brokers At many now have -j^i^her. 'isiuStf, levestigatidii and stud; of. I have oome>4p the .echduelon that the beat interests of the‘Aikpsyer and of the school* de mand a radical, ohange iS the mode hi toeapt to eupport ’oiir public schools. It wilt be found upon I think that Georgia PJp a pdFrtfentago of her total the support of her oommon Kny atafe in the itnian, vriiWe local with th* exoeptien of ouroitiei and some of larger towns, oout/ibbtc nothing tjpthi* purpose. <.;Vd&tie*v With two or .three exceptions, and most of the Kowni, pay nofiirng, but look to the state FOSTEHS tt-JIL REPUGNANT TO OtTtf THEORY GOVEUNNtENT AND pEBTRUcflt’lp.OF THE BELF JPUAHCE AND IN]YIDEALITY q|;TIIE CITIZEN.'- V I recommend-that the law be so' amended vs MMht I he state school fund r '“Wf •*' r atone million, dollars per to be distributed alnQpg the counties as, now provided by law,..flfUt that the amount apportioned" to no county shall be available until shall hive raised by taxation upon the taxable .property wltliln its own borders, an amount not less than forty per cent of Its share of the state school fund. This'would raise for the first year a school fund about, as large as we now have, which would be Increas ed by the counties from year to yeer as the people real se the advantage of the system. It is with pride in the military of the state that I point to the fact, that while they have always dono their duty promptly and effectively and have qulchly restored order in every in stance in which It has been necessary to call them into service, not a drop of blood has ever been shed by them and no violence has ever besn done to any person of either race after the troops have arrived on the scene. As stated in another part of this message, there will be at the end of this year an unexpended balauce of about seven thousaud dollars of the appropriation made by the last Gen - - • ”, oral Assembly for the support of the State troops for the present yerr; ae thers will also be, upon final seU| ment with the general balance of the military appropriation of 1898, temporarily diverted, of per haps twelve thousand dollars more still available for the same purpose. These sums It is believed will be suf ficient to support the military of the et*'e fox the next year without any ad ditional appropriation. I therefore recommend that no ap propriation be made for the military for the yoajrl9ol, hut that the twenty thousand dollars be appropriated lor the year 1902, * PENSIONS. The aggregate amount of money paid out during the year to pensioners of all classes has been 1078,205,and there are on file, approved for payment next year, 97S now applications. From this must bgdddncted the number of pen s'oners ithp have died (Turing the year. This is noi yet iinown, but it will probably be about ,500, which will, V, - i when deducted from tha, number ot new applicstionef*!evc a net addition to thcYolls Of about 475.

If Visions arc anit'ed thorn at the Wine ratirfis ti the widows now bn the rolls, it probable that in a year or two the amount nece-sary t:i rnoet the pension roll will approximate a million do!lars. CHANGE OF VENUE. - “*• In this eoonection r desire to call the attention of the general assembly to what seema to me, in view of recent occurrences, to bs a necessary aimhd mentjo the the law providing for the trial and punishment of 'criminals. Under the law as it now stands “ail criminals case* shall he in the county where the crime waa commit ted, except cases in the superior court where the is satisfied that an impartial jury ca&not be obtained is such county. When he becomes thus satisfied, be may ohange the venue for the trial.” is clear that the judge of ths sdpOTior oourt alone Bin order a change of venue, and be only when be “is satisfied that an impartial jury cannot be obtained in tbs count y In which ths orime was committed.
