Other such cases are Pkely to occur at any time, when the State will be oalled upon to furnieb military guards and foot the bills. 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 .

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.
