To Hi Excellency Han. John M. Slaton, GrJL e'l'nor. IR: In accordance with law, I have tlJ honor and plea ure to re pectfully ubmit the third annual report of the Department of Commerc and Labor for the term ending December 31, 1914.. The cope of the 1 l' nt report i mon' xtensive than the previou one. I hope that each uccee ling report can be an improvement over the other and Indu trial Georgia thu kept prominently before the public. The different countie are treated eparately in tbe present I' 1ort and the Ii t of indu tries grouped by countie. Thi i not a conv nient form for ready u e, but give each county credit for her indu tri and re ource . The tream, bank , railroads and other information are given by countie. Information i al 0 given as to the in titution for hiO"her learning and the more important benevolent institution are mentioned. Space i al 0 devoted to the tate .ormal chool, which 1a' an indu trial department. Thi chool was not included in the Ii t of indu trial chool published la t year. Stati tic to he found in tbi report will prove to be int re tinO" and valuabl. Every care wa ob erved m obtaininO" th information an 1 preparinO" the table.. 3 The hild Labor Law enacted by the General \. embly in 1914 went into ffect Januar: 1 t of thi y ar. PuttinO' this law into effect required much detail work and bring into co-operation with the Department of ommerce and Labor the City and ounty chool Sup 1'intendent and the Ordinarie of the different countie . For the most part, the e official are conscientiously endeavoring to a i t in enforcing the law. The work incident to the enforcement of the new Child Labor Law more than quadrupled the work of the department, making it e ential that additional force be authorized. I incerely tru t that the General embly oon to convene will authorize the employment of onc or more clerk . Georgia i one of the three or four States that doe not have a compul oryeducationallaw. By all mean thi tate hould enact uch a mea ure. It would not onl be the mean' of O'iving an education to children who are now O'rowing up in ignorance, but would in a very larO'e measure olve the hild Labor problem. compul ory educational law i earne tly recommended. Time and aO'ain the nece ity in Georgia for an rbitration ct ha been clearly demon h'ated. One i needed to protect the general publi a wen a . employer and mploy e. eorO'ia i one of the few State in the nion that ha not provided a method by which dispute between labor a~d apital can be ettled. trike and lockout are not ea, y to adju t in any circumstance, but are well niO'h impo ible with the meager machinery provided in G orgia. The general public, oftentime , uffeI a mu h from di agreement b tween labor and capital a tho e directly concerned and there i no wa pro"' id d by which the can protect them elve or force an aO'reement. m a ure that met the a1 proval of both 4 . \. mployel' and empby e wa pa ed by the enate la t ." al' and wa . favorably reported to the Hou e, hut did not c me t a vote on account of the fact that it reached th Hou in the do ing day of the es ion. I tru t that the memb I' of the General As embly will ee the need of an Arbitration ct and enact it into law. Permit me to take thi occa ion to expr m appr Clation for the many act of kindness and consideration shown me by your Ex ellency and the official of tbe Executive Department during the pa t year.

Georgia wa to b a place of refuo'e for th oppres ed, but a1. 0 wa to serve a a defen to outb arolina aO'ain t th paniard, who ha 1 twice ill' aded tha t colony. Nothing would more firmly e tabli hand ,tr nO'then Georo'ia, the entinel olony,' than to win the Indian. to th ide of the EnO'li h by supplying them with uch article a. they prized rno t highly. Th refor trading po t were e tabli hed, of which uo'U ta tood at the northern part of the ettlem nt and av:mnah at the outh rn. It wa to give imp tu to the commerce of GeorO'ia tbat a prize wa offered to the fir t ves el that bould lanel a cargo at the wharf of Savannah. Thi prize, a gold cup, "a won b aptain Yoakley, who in 173.,1" di charO'ed at the do k . upplie of tooL, clothin o' and provision. It wa intended that orne of the ettler of Georo'ia h uld cultiyat the indio'o plant, wbil other , hould cultivate mulberry oTove. for the upplying of food for the ilk worm which, it wa, hop 1, would proc1u e ilk in uch quantiti ,a would mak that valuable commotlit~, an important commer ial a. t of GeoJ'O'ia. Great hope wa ntertain 1 of the ucc of ilk proelnction (j in OeorO'ia, when a ilk dre ma Ie in the new colony wa. pI' ented to the Que n of England. fter experiment of this kind conducted by wi xpert had fail d to pro(luc sati factory re. ult. thi. . chem ",a. abandoned. The experiments in inllio'o ultinl.tioll met with ll. like fat. The Georgian then tmn cl to rire, Indian orn, cotton em 1 other thino'S common to their neiO'hbor colonie. Augu ill. wa. laid out in 1735 and a o'ani on e tabJi hed ther n xt year. evera1 warehou. e were built and furni bed for trade with tb Indian. The he t of facilities were already at hand in the Savannah River and down thi tream boat impelled by long pole made four or five voyage annuall to tIle coa t whence tb ir argoe were tran ferred to ve el for 'harle. ton. Gradually avannah grew in importance until it becam G orgill.' eaport and the voyages to harle ton were no IonO'er nece . ary. Ve el of diff rent ize unloaded th ir cargoe at th "harve of avannah and were loaded with tb product of th colony and the wares furni~llec1 by the In han trade and brouo'ht down the rivel' from uou. ta in the long pol boat. a,annah wa already giving promi e of h r future importance a. a seaport, wben Georgia joined the oth l' merican Jonie in the truO'ole for incl penden e. \n iudir ct proof of th prOOT of Georgia' commer(' in tho e arly da~' of th commonwealth i O'i"en h~' th following incident: In March, 1776, 'orne loyali t planter. bad loa led el "eu merchant \ el in the avannah River, which \' . el weI' pI' parinO' for a a voyaO'. This trade with EnO'land had been forbidden by th ontin ntal onO're , 7 which the united colonies, in. their trug-gle for the defen e of their chart red rig-ht , had marle their ag-ent for the conduct of all that pertained to the common intere t. Althoug-h independence had not et been declared, ~eor oia had, after the battle of LexinO'ton, allied her lf with the other twelve colonie . The Georgia authoritie CODidered it their duty to break up thi commercial chern for violating- the orders of that body, which all the colonie had jointly con tituted the upreme power over them 1.111 in the crisis so dano'erou to their riO'ht andlibertie, therefore a band of Georg-ian I d by "'10 10nel Lachlan ::\Iclnto h, aided b South arolinian under olone! Bull, in defiance of everal Briti h war ve eJ that were threatening- Savannah, made a sudden raid upon the merchant ve el, burned three of them and r ndered ix others unfit for service. Two only out of the eleven e. ('aped. The infant tate wa. thus ready to acrifice it commerce for the common g-ood. The invention of the cotton gin by Eli ,Vhitne' in 1793, gave to the agricultural South mean. of handling- to the be t advantage croI of cotton, hm\' vel' larO'e th growth of that tapl hould become, and tim" furni hed that ection with the sure fo'undation for gr at manufactories and a rich comm l' e. The export of cotton from the ntire nited States in 1793 wa 975 bales or 478,500 pound, and in Liverpool doubt were e.~pre ed about the po ibility of rai. ing that much otton in the - nited State . But in 1911, the laro'e t crop of record there wer rai ed in the nited tate nearl T 16,000,000 bale , agO'r gating 8;,125,140,000 pound. Of thi amount more than 2,000,000 bale or about 100,000,000 pound wer exported from avannah' Georo-ia' chief eaport. Tb value of avannah's xport ha rea hed $16,000,000 in a ingle month.

But when in the thirtie of tbe last century the construction of Georgia' plendid y tern of railroad wa beo-UD, it oon became evident that eaport and river towns mu t accept as rivals those that were springing up an alono- the railroad line. and forcing to the front n center. of manufactures and commerce. All the flourishino- and rapidly growing interior town .. of Georo-ia, and even tho e upon the rivers and coast t1lllt have maintained to a large extent their pre-eminence amono- their ist I' , owe their high . tand a center of manufacture and ommerce to the wisdom of the m n who in the very dawn of railroad on truction in the ni. ted States determined that Georgia should keep pace with the foremo t.

I~ How GEORGIA RANK In the manufacture of f rtilizer eorgla 1 fir t, leading all of the other State . In the value of Iroduct from the cotton seed Georgia lead every State but Texa , Rnd in turpentine and 1'0 in is s cond only to Florida. In the manufacture of cotton o'oods Georo'ia stands fifth in the nion, being exCll d b Ma achu ett , Rhode I land orth arolina and outh arolina, but being far in the lead of Penn ylvama and ew York. In the value of food I reparations Georgia yield to but five other State, viz.: ew York, fichiO'an, Ohio, Illinois', and Iowa, but urpa e' State like California, Pennsylvania and 1a achu ett . In the manufactur of brick and tile GeorO'ia ranks fifteenth a he doe aloin th ou put of b l' wagon and carriage hop. Previou to the war between the tat Georgia Jed eyery Southern tate in textile manufacture, baving made her tart in that line in 1 2 ,when the Georgia Factory, the fir t ucce sful Georgia cotton mill, wa incorporated at Whitehall, near Athen . Previou to thi , or in 1 11, the fir t cotton factory in Georgia wa built on pton Cr ek, nine mile ,outhea t of Wa hino-ton. It had two torie, ba ement and attic, and wa built of tone quarri d in tbe neighborhood. The hinge, hook and nail weI' made in a neighborinO' black mith hop. Thi factor) did not pay and wa cIo ed. Later, the machinery wa 1 urcha ed by Thoma Talbot, who tarted a small factory on hi ' plmitation to furni h clothing for hi lave and tho e of hi neighbor . In th ante-bellum day' Georgia' , chief manufactures were of textile good , but all the larger citie of the 13 tate had foundrie.' and repair hop and manufa torie for' ehicle of variou kind. Boot and hoe sbop which made ho were more in eviden than now, and many preferred boot., and ho. made b~r th 11' favorite shoemaker to anythin 0' that could be purcha d in the tore . When Georgia' enterpri ing citiz n beO'an to o-ive greater diver'ity to their mechanical indu tri and to build on an e~den i e . cal fertilioor factories and oil mill, North an 1 outh arolina went ahead of u in textile indu tri ,yet Georgia's rank a a cotton manufacturing State w nt up several fig1.1re., becau e she went ahead of ome of her Norihern 8i tel'S that formerly urpa ed her in thi cIa of indu trie . Then a her plendid y tern of railroad developed more and more her commerc , the larger citie of the tate grew rapidly, the malleI' town ame quickly to the ize and importance attained by the older one in antebellum day and Georgia' home commerce between the larger citie and the small town and country di trict grew teadily.
