Other such cases are Pkely to occur at
any time, when the State will be oalled

EXPENSE OF OIIGANIZIG TROOPS
FOIt THE WAR WITH SPAIN.
For tbe proseoution of the war with
Spain, Georgia was oalled upon to fur
nish three regiments of infantry and
two light batteries, which were quick
ly railed and organized. The total ex
pense ioourred by tbe State in the or
ganization, subsistence, equipment
and transportation of these troops was
$30,118.07.
PRISON SYSTEM,
llut little oyer eighteen mouths have
pissed since the new prison system
was put into practical operation, but
that has been sufficient to establish the
fact that it is a very great improve
ment on tbe system supeiceded by It.
There are now in operation in th,o
state three different kinds of chain
gangs, towll:
Ist. Organized under and in con
formity with the law, and engaged up
on the public vforirs'.
ad. Organized under color of the
law, and engagul In work for private
individuals.
3d. Organized contrary to law, and
engaged In wk for private Individ
uals . IX
The flrtt,4n the opinion of the com
mission, are the only ones coutemplat
cd by law. and which have
status or should be allowed to exist.
BALLOT REFORM.
An experience of more than thirty
years since the enfranchisement of the
emancipated slaves of the South has
demonstrated the necessity for a q-;a !
fled suffrage.
It will not do to rely on temporary
expedients, We rnuet strike at the
root of the evil. The white primary
has accomplished good, but it cannot
be relied on as a permanent cure for
'he evil of vote buying and vote gel 1 -
ing- Disappointed in its results, am
bitious men will, relying ou an unre
stricted ballot and the purchasable
vote, Inaugurate iudopendendent cans
didacits. anp the purchasable vote will
again become a balance of power to
control elections.
I therefore, iu the Interest of good
government and in the interest of tty
negro race, recommend that an amend
ment of the constitution be submitted
to the people providing for a qualified
suffrage based on an educational or a
property qualification, or both. '
CITY COURTS.
In view of tbe large number of nets
patacd witbiu recent years purpotlng
to eitibbsb ci’y conr-s w.th di-vc
writs of error to tbe supreme cuuit,
the itqniry is suggested whether there
is Dot danger of carrying legislation
on this lire beyond consU uiionfcl 1 m
itt—if, indeed, this has cot alresdy
been don;.
While it may be within the power
of the genert.l assembly to arbitrari y
declare tbat a mere village or smrli
town ebail, from and af er the passage
of a particular act, be a“ci t ;,”'bls
certainly does not make the same a
real oity, as tbe term is cimmooly
used and understood among our peo
ple; and if this sort of a legislative
fleGgdw • ’ sltb reference to
a.JL~.. .*i • ,or tbe
of layTnjPThlS*uo<fai>ou
| foySstabliehing in tbe newly-creatriA
and so-oailed oity a court whose judg
ments may be direotly reviewed by
•r
the supreme court, tbe constitution
ality of tbe measure may, as to this
matter, well be questioned.
It is respeotfully suggested that tbe
time has oome to call a halt in legisla
tion teudlog In this diriction, for It i
surely the duty of the law-making
power to oooform not only to tbe let
ter, but to tbe spirit of the oomlitu
tion. In view of (be vast burden of
labor now beiog imposed ou tbe su
preme eourt in requiring it to review
the Judgment* of twenty-four supe
rior and thirty-four oity oourts, this
matter is worthy of your most serious
consideration.
COLONIAL, REVOLUTIONARY
AND.CONFEDEUATE RECORDS.
If 1 am correctly informed, Georgia
is the only itate of the original thir
teen which has taken no steps toward
the preservation of its and
revolutionary records. Every one of
the original states north of the Poto
mac baa long since compiled end pub
lished its ooloQiil and revolutionary
documents and thus preserved its early
history. Vlrgiois, impoverished and
battle-blasted, has found means to
gather up and publish tbe records of
her colonial and revolutionary days,
and North Carolina has recently got
ten out ten large ar and handsome vol
umes of her archive/, thus preserving
the history acd tbe records of ths
aobievmenU uf her sods.
The same may be said of the records
—what few are in tx>sleuce—of that
other period, no less important, to our
posterity, the war be tween the states.
When an invading army occupied our
capitol in IS6-1 and pitched their tents
on the state bouse square, its soldiers
kindled the fires under their oooking
pots with the pr.'oslcss records of that
eventful period;but some of them are
iu existence here and otbers may
be found in the storage rooms of the
war cilice iu Washington.
ords, too, ought to be gathered up,
printed and preserved, Georgia has,
while foremost in every other good
work, always been too indifferent as
to her own histojy and tbe aobieve-
ber sons.
I therefore earnestly recommend
that the governor be authorized to em
ploy at an annual salary of aot ex
ceeding $2,000, fit and proper
person to compile and superintend tbe
pubiicsitqs unpublished manu
scripts. books and papers yet avail
able bearing on her colonial and revo
lutionary and on her part fn
the war of secession, including all
muster rolls of military organizations
engtged in any of the wars in which
Georgians have taken part, and that
the same he printed by the etate print
er and paid for as other etate print
ing.
THE BRUNSWICK TIMES-CALL OCTOBER 25, 1900
; STATE BOARD OF RE VLTU.
The experiences of the Lit two
years have demonstm-.d the necessity
or a state board of health, or at least a
s'ate health officer, to advise with local
authorities in handling contay'ous end
lnfectl' ur diseases.
For the lutt two winters final'pox
has i r vailed largely in many of tltr
coun is ol the sate Always when a
susp'cioua disease hag made its ap
nea-ante In a community, the governor
has been called on to send an expert
to diagnose the disease and aid local
physicians In controHinz it and pre
venting its spread. There be-ng no
stale board ot health nor state health
office, 1 have on three separate oc
casions called on the Surf e m-Ganerai
*4 . ' Mini no Hospital
° ervlC au officer from
bis professional forca-to aid me. These
gentlemen all did sxcelleuiaaiv.ee,but
there were times when it was impose
ible to secure assistance frun iliia
source, rendering it impossible for me
to respond to the calls of ordinaries and
other local authorities. It is, more
over, not lu keeping with the dignity
of our mate lo cat! upon the general
government to do for us that which we
can ao for ourselves.
CHILD LABOR AND BUREAU OF
LABOR ST AT 131 ICS.
To flay last m&**ge to the general as
eembly I called attention to tbe de
mand of our wage-earners throughout
the state for a bureairot labor statistics
and some #holesomc legislation on the
subject of child labor.
A bureau of statistics could be estab
lished in connect on wllh the depart
mint of agricuLure and under th<ssui>-
ervirion oi the commissioner, in whiejy*
statistics, valuable not ot|iy to oar ar
tcsians and wa-e-eerners but 10 the,
general public, could be compiled at a
comparatively small oesj. Our fellow
citizens wbo are Interested la their*
statistics are cetitled to.this rerscaabte
d.mand.
The subject of obild Lbor isrnirt
d.ffioult to handle. A law or regula
tion which would fit ore lapwr might
not lit anotter There ars catas in
whiob, iu order to provide the meat s
of euppjrt foe tbe family, it seems
necessary fur the children iu tbe fami
ly to work even at- a tender age; bu
there ere, on the other hand,, many
f&mili s tbe brads of which live in
idleness, and sometimes in dissipation,
and rely on the isbor of the children
for support. While these evils cannot
be entirely eradicated from our labor
system by legislation, laws may bjei -
acted to minimize them, and It is as
much our duty te make the effort as it
is to legislate for the prevention of
other crimes, for both th-ste evils'
sometimes rise to the magnitude uf
crimes.
CONCLUSION.
Many subjects other thanthieel
have mentioned will come up fur y >ur
crusideration, and it may becoms uiy
duty to oall your special attention 10
soma of them as tbe session progresses
Tbat you will consider ail of them
wisely and well, and with au eye sio
gle to the boat interest of all the peo
pla of our State, I feel well assured.
