MESSAGE. 
 
STATE ol" GEoRGIA, ExEcuTIVE DEPARTMENT. 
Atlanta, June 27, 1906. 
To the General Assembly: 
You meet in the midst of continued and increasing prosperity. Material blessings have abounded during the past year. Immense crops and good prices have rewarded the tiller of the soil. Opportunity for labor and good wages have rejoiced the heart of the working-man. Fewer mortgages have been given and more money has been -deposited by the farmer in the banks than this generation has ever before known, and on every hand appear evi~ -dences that the people are happy and contented. The 'State in its corporate capacity has contributed its part to this prosperous era by materially reducing the rate of taxation and by firmly protecting the citizen in all his personal and property rights. The large body of State and county officials, numbering about 7,000, have been active and efficient in the performance of their duties, and these faithful public servants are entitled to honorable Tecognition for their valuable services in {'reserving peace and good order throughout the State. 
Public office is a public trpst. Many men aspire to -office, prompted largely by the most patriotic motives.

JouRNAL oF THE HousE. 
 
Officers of this class regard the good opinion of good men far above the pecuniary emoluments of the office. A State blessed with such officials should generously bestow, as. Georgia has always done, her appreciation and ~pproval of official integrity. This is not only an act of simple justice to the public servant, but also highly beneficial tothe public weal. Any other policy is but to blight official zeal, discount official integriiy and sow in the public mind: suspicion and distrust bordering on hatred and anarchy. It is especially gratifying to me as Chief Executive, and I trust that I may refer with pardonable pride to the fact, that during my administration all the departments of government, including the public institutions, have been carefully examined and rigidly audited by legislative investigating committees and boards of visitors appointed' by the Governor. In not a single instance have these searching investigations shown any official recreant to the trust imposed. In these times of extensive wrongdoing, if reports from other States be true, Georgians may take inspiration and comfort from the fact that their public servants are faithful and true-and above even the suspicion of greed and graft. 
In previous messages I recommended the adoption of laws to tax the franchise of corporations, to limit the rate of taxation on property, to levy a specific business tax on corporations, to lengthen the term of rural schools, and to increase the pay of teachers. These laws have been passed and are now in satisfactory operation, receiving the cordial approval of the people. In these same messages 1

called your attention to the need of legislation to further encourage the educational interests of the State by establishing agricultural schools and exempting college endow- 
ments from taxation. I again press th' ese matters upon 
your attention, and earnestly recommend the adoption of the necessary legislation to secure the establishment of agricultural schools and to encourage the colleges of the State by granting to them an exemption, which was universally extended in practice until within a few years past. In several former messages I have also brought to your attention the injustice of our present system of valuing property for taxation. It is unsuited to present conditions and unjust to every honest taxpayer. The State has progressed. in every other particular. .In the matter of valuing property for taxation we adhere to the law enacted over one hundred years ago. I respectfully renC?w my former recommendations upon this subject. 
 
RELIEF OF THE SUPREME COURT. 
The crowded condition of the docket of our Supreme Court is a serious menace to the general business interests of the State. In 1895 the number of cases in that court reached such a volume that some relief was necessary. The General Assembly in 1895 proposed and the people at the general election in October, 1896, ratified an amendment to the Constitution increasing the number of justices from three to six. The remarkable growth of the State during the last ten years has resulted in more than a corresponding increase in the number of cases brought before the Supreme Court. In 1896 our taxable values 
 
 ::12 
 
JouRNAL oF THE HousE. 
 
were $413,307,473, and in 1905 they were $577,841,252, making an increase of $164,533,809, or about 40 per cent. The Southeastern Reporter publishes the deri.;inn" of ve States, viz., Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. An examination of these reports for the last year will show that the Supreme Court of Georgia decides nearly as many cases as the Supreme Courts of the other four States combined. There were brought to the October Term, 1896, and to the March Term, 1897, of the Supreme Court 778 cases, and to the corresponding terms for 1905 and 1906 there were 1,165 cases, making an increase of about so per cent. The <:reation of eight new counties, and tl>e establishment of .additional lower courts to meet the necessities of the peo-ple will no doubt result in a much larger increase of the <:ases before the Supreme Court during the next ten years. In 1896 there were 137 superior courts and 13 <:ity courts from which cases might be carried to the Supreme Court, and in 1906 there were 145 superior -courts and 57 city courts, with a probability of new city -courts being established annually for several years. In .a few years, should no remedial legislation be enacted, we .are almost sure to witness the spectacle of a majority of the cases brought to a term of our Supreme Court being .affirmed by operation of law on account of the inability <)f the court to hear and determine the same in the time required by the Constitution. 
These conditions call for serious consideration at your J1ands. Justice should be judicially administered. Every 
 
 
 
 citizen of Georgia, under the Constitution, has the right Qf having his case heard and determined by a court. of review. This is a right not given to the citizen by all the States. Some make a distinction by giving the privilege of appeal when the amount involved in the suit exceeds a given sum. Other States unconditionally require bond before entering the appeal, which policy frequently prohibits any but the rich, or those able to make the bond~ from having the right to carry his case to the Supreme Court. Many States prescribe such excessive cost bills as prevent the citizen from taking his case to the court of review. The Georgia policy is the right one, as justice should be administered "freely without sale, fully without any denial, and speedily without delay" in every case. To accomplish this desirable result, it is our highest duty to provide the necessary courts. In order that the difficulties which confront us may be fully met we should establish an additional court of review to be known as the Court of Appeals. This court should have exclusive and final jurisdiction in all cases originating in all courts other than the superior courts, and in all misdemeanor cases, irrespective of the courts in which such cases are tried. The Supreme Court alone should have final jurisdiction over constitutional questions, and it should be provided that if such a'question be raised in the Court of Appeals that it should be certified to the Supreme Court and decided by that tribunal, and the decision certified to and followed by the Court of Appeals in deciding the case ; also, that the Court of Appeals may at any time certify to the Supreme 
 
 JouRNAL oF THE HousE. 
Court any other question or propositions of law concerning which it desires instruction of the Supreme c~urt for proper decision. An examination of the present <locket shows that a Court of Appeals, as above outlined, would relieve the Supreme Court of about forty per cent. of the business. I most respectfully suggest that an amendment to the Constitution be proposed providing for such a court. 
INTERCHANGEABLE MILEAGE. 
I ask your consideration of an important matter involving the interest of the traveling public. Railroad companies in making a difference between rates in carload lots and smaller shipments recognize the commercial prindple of making wholesale and retail prices. Carriers adopt this general rule, not only in the sale of through tickets good on through lines, but in selling thousandmile tickets and excursion tickets at less than the usual passenger rates. These mileage books are a great convenience, and are issued by several of the trunk lines in the State. As there are some that do not do so, I recommend the passage of a law conferring upon the Railroad Commission the power to fix the terms, conditions and rates on which mileage books shall be sold. If these books are made interchangeable the traveling public would thus be saveo great annoyance and inconvenience. While our Supreme Court has held that corporations can not be forced into partnership relations with one another, yet if the power is conferred upon the Railroad Commission to require the issuance of interchangeable mileage books 
 
 WEDNESDAY, }UNE 27, 1906. 
upon such tenns and conditions as the interest of the public may demand, and the ends of justice to the corporations will authorize, the Commission will be enabled to  prescribe such conditions in their orders as will make it beneficial to the railroads to co-operate with the Commis. sion in inaugurating this much needed reform. 
TAX ON INHERITANCES. 
In my message to the General Assembly in 1905 I called attention to the importance and advisability of the enactment of a law taxing inheritances. The constitutionality and the wisdom of such an Act could not be questioned. Many of t}:le most conservative States of the Union have such a law. Besides being a just measure, it has proven a source of vast revenue. We might expect under a practical measure equally as good results in this. State. Large estates being acquired solely by the accident of birth may fairly be taxed. While the time has not yet come in Georgia when immense estates may threaten the public good, yet it must be admitted colossal fortunes capable of being handed down from generation to generation constitute a serious menace to the general welfare in some parts of the Union. The accumulation of such wealth may well be regarded with suspicion. Often it is invested in( securities not taxed under the laws of the State. The inheritance tax is the only remedy to keep such estates in bounds, as well as affording the only legal means of requiring the owners to contribute their share to the support of the government giving them protection.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION. 
In my message to your body last year I stated at length my views upon the subject of agricultural education, and urged that sufficient money be appropriated to the University for the erection of suitable buildings and properly equipping the same, so that in Georgia we may have an agricultural college second to none in the Union. I again submit this important question to you, and urge your favorable consideration. Georgia is largely an agricultural State. As her agricultural interests prosper the State as a whole prospers. The possibilities of development in agriculture are as great as the possibilities in steam or electricity. They are equally as hidden, and in the search for the valuable secrets of plants and plant life we need skilled men just as we need skilled electricians and engineers to discover the secrets of electricity and steam. We have not discharged our full duty to this our greatest interest until we have by legislation set in motion those forces that will best serve in its development. The Act of 1903 requiring that the elementary principl~s of agriculture be included in the curriculum of our public schools is a wise and imp6rtant measure. Following this lead, our normal schools are specially training and preparing teachers for the work of teaching this study in our public schools. Between these schools and the University there ~exists a wide gap which can best be supplied by agricultural schools or colleges in each Congressional district. As stated in my message to the General Assembly on November 8, IQ02, "for the establishment and main- 
 
 tenance of these schools no extra tax would be necessary, as they can be maintained by the net fees arising from the inspection of commercial fertilizers. These fees are paid by the farmers in addition to the ad valorem property tax which is required of all citizens, and every principle of justice and equity demands that they be expended as will best tend to the advancement and upbuilding o the cause of agriculture throughout the State." However, should you not agree with me as to the advisability of establishing so many of these schools or colleges as one in each Congressional district, I would then urge upon your consideration the establishment of two additional branches of the University, to be known as agricultural and normal colleges, and graded the same as the North Georgia Agricultural College at Dahlonega. One of these to be located in the middle section of the State and the other in the southern section. These colleges to be established from the inspection fees of commercial fertilizers, and when established such fees be divided upon an equitable basis between them and the North Georgia Agricultural College for their maintenance. They should be required specially to teach agriculture, and also have a normal department for the suitable equipment of such of the students as contemplate becoming teachers in our public 
~chools. 
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. 
No forces have contributed more to the splen<;iid development and substantial progress of Georgia than her educational institutions. They deserve to be fostered and 
2h j 
 
 r8 
 
JouRNAL oF THE HousE. 
 
sustained not only for the present good we derive from them, but also on account of the rich promise for the future. We should look upon these institutions with gratitude and hope. A nation's glory does not consist in the greatness of its army and navy, nor in the grandeur of its domain, but in the character of the men and women who compose it and of the institutions which they foster. No power is so potent in the development of the country as an enlightened public opinion, and nothing can better serve to advance its progress than a due regard and reverence for the law, a just and clean public press, the erection and proper appreciation of religious and educational institutions, and a wholesome desire to acquire learning and live uprightly. If the Republic may survive, it must heed the voice of these things and harken unto their call. As eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so alone through constant and incessant effort niay individual and national progress be achieved. To maintain these public institutions of learning requires considerable expenditure of money from the. public treasury, but this is money well invested. 
The groundwork or basis of these institutions is our common school system. All measures looking to the improvement of this system deserve our favorable consideration. The various laws enacted from time to time, and which constitute the system, present a lack of harmony in several features. These defects should be corrected, and it would be well to have these laws, together with se\eial needed amendments, covered by one Act or compilation. 
 
 An amendment conferring more aqthority upon the boards -of education relative to school libraries and school build-ings should be enacted. As stated in my message of November 8, 1902: "It takes four things to make a schoolteachers, pupils, books and schoolhouses. We have teach-ers and books, and pupils we have in abundance, but of -schoolhouses in country districts there is woeful want. Proper and comfortable houses will add greatly to the -efficiency of our common schools." From the current offi-cial report of the State School Commissioner you will :note the large number of modern buildings for the rural schools that have been erected during the past year. This 'is gratifying to all who are interested in the great cause 'Of education, as it shows an awakening of the people that augurs much for the State's continued progress and de--velopment. Another important amendment is one chang-jng the scholastic year from the calendar year, so that it :may hereafter be from September 1st to August 31st. 'Such a change, after two years, would practically settle -the question of paying the teachers their salaries when ..due. The first eight months of next year might be made a special scholastic year, and have apportioned to it an .equitable share of the fund set apart for 1907. In addi-tion to accomplishing the desired result of furnishing a --plan that will enable school officials to arrange for the -prompt payment of salaries when due, it will harmonize the system with that of the local systems and long-term ' -schools and colleges throughout the State. The Act of li905 carrying into effect the constitutional amendment au- 
 
 20 
 
JouRNAL oF THE HousE. 
 
thorizing the adoption of a local tax system by districts, a~ I 
well as counties, has proven a wise and popular one. The operation of this law has suggested the necessity of an amendment setting forth more definitely the taxing powers, especially with reference to the taxation of railroad property within the limits of the school district<;.. The enforcement of this taxing provision has resulted in litigation, and cases involving this question are now pending in the Supreme Court. The decision of that court may be rendered at an early day, and the construction~ placed upon the law may make an amendment unnecessary; however, should it be otherwise, I recommend the enactment of a suitable amendment so that all property of every kind and character within the limits of the district may be subject to this tax. 
During the last year I have visited the University, theState Normal School, the Girls' Normal and Industrial~ College, the School of Technology and the North G~c.rgia Agricultural College for the purpose of examination and' inspection. In making the recommendations hereinafter set forth I have kept in view the State's finances and the constitutional limitation upon the tax rate. 
The most pressing need of the University is for a sufficient appropriation to erect upon the recently acquired' tract of land paid for by private subscriptions suitable buildings properly equipped for a great agricultural col, lege. As the cost of these buildings and equipment 1'.15' been estimated at $roo,ooo, I suggest that the appropriation for same be made available in twQ annual payments.

The State Normal School is doing a splendid work. "The two new dormitories which are now being comp~cted. .and which were paid for one-half by the friends of the school and the other half by the State, will enable the -school to accommodate a much larger student-body. These buildings need a heating system, and one will ha \'e t;) be installed before next winter. I recommend a suitable ap-propriation for this purpose. 
The Girls' Normal and Industrial College has had a -most successful year. Chappell Hall the academic building now in process of construction, will serve to relieve somewhat the demand for class room. The crowded -condition of the dormitories, and the fact that about one bundred girls were turned away last year on account c -meager dormitory facilities, strongly appeal for ~n ad-ditional dormitory to accommodate at least two hundred .and fifty girls. This is one of the most urgent matters connected with our educational institutions that will be -presented to your consideration. And I therefore recommend an ap}Jfopriation sufficiently large to meet the necessities of the college. 
The immediate needs of the School of Technology call for a small appropriation for the equipment of the new Lyman Hall Laboratory and an increased maintenance fund to meet a deficit that has been carried for a number -of years, and to cover the cost of new departments. The growth of this school has been so marvellous that we are now facing the fact that the campus is entirely too small. It contains about ten acres, and is located in a 
 
 22 
 
JouRNAL oF THE Hous:r:. 
 
I 
popular residence section of the city. In a few years the- 
 
State will be unable to purchase additional land suited for 
 
purposes of this school without paying several times its 
 
present value. After advising with the Goverror ..md< 
 
Board of Trustees, President Matheson secured options- 
 
from owners of the lots adjoining the campus. These lots. 
 
aggregate about seven acres, and the options are for about. 
 
$30,000. The necessity for an enlarged campus is sd ap- 
 
parent and pressing that many friends of the school have- 
 
expressed a willingness to contribute towards the purchase-. 
 
of additional lands, and I feel that we may rely with con- 
fidence upon such contributions aggregating $w,ooo. I 
 
therefore recommend that $2o,ooo be appropriated for 
 
this purpose to become available during t!le next two- 
 
years in such sums and at such time as these contribution~ 
 
may be made and collected. It is the desire of authori- 
 
ties of this school to utilize the State's geological equip- 
 
ment in sone way for the benefit of the school. To do- 
 
this it has been proposed to have one of the officers of the 
 
department meet the class in geology for a short time on 
 
certain days of the week in order to make a practical ex- 
 
planation of the State's resources in the line of this work. 
 
It is not believed that any great objection could be sug- 
 
gested to such use, inasmuch as a school of mines has been 
 
lately opened as one of the departments of the institution, 
 
and the study of geology is an essential part of the same. 
 
Much good to the State might result, and in this way dis- 
 
covery and investigation in the geology of the State be 
 
stimulated to a very great degree. I can see no objection 
 
to this proposition.

2.). 
 
The North Georgia Agricultural College is accomplishing much good for the State. Its dormitory facilities are very meager, and the necessity for one sufficiently largeto accommodate 125 students is very pressing. I therefore recommend an appropriation for this dormitory. 
No appropriation was made at your last session for thesupport of the Summer School for Teachers. Upon in~ vestigation it was ascertained from the chairmen of theHouse and Senate Appropriation Committees that this failure was simply through inadvertence. The authorities therefore arranged for the school this year, confidently trusting that the appropriation will be made at this session of the General Assembly. I therefore recommend that you appropriate for this purpose $5,000, to become immediately available. 
You will find before you the report of the Trustees of the State University and of the Board of Visitors to the University; the report of the Directors and the Board of Lady Visitors to the Georgia Normal and Industrial College; the report of the School of Technology; the State Normal School ; the North Georgia Agricultural College~ and the School for the Colored People. You will find that these reports give a clear insight into the work of these institutions during the last year, and will amply repay a close study of the same. They contain many valuable suggestions and recommendations, which I commend to your earnest consideration.

STATE SANITARIUM. 
Through the means of personal inspections and frequent conferences with the trustees and officials of the Sanitarium I have kept in close touch during the year with this institution. The money appropriated for its maintenance has been most economically expended. The daily per capita cost for the last year was less than 31 cents, as against 333-i the previous year. In view of the increased cost of provisions, clothing, and everything used in a well regulated sanitarium, this is a remarkable showing. 
The report of the Trustees and the Superintendent clearly sets forth the needs of the Sanitarium. I desire to specially commend to your consideration the following recommendation: 
"The Board would again call your attention to the hopeless condition of the feeble-minded or defective children under sixteen years of age, and numbering sixty, now confined in the Sanitarium for lack of proper provision for them elsewhere. The only door of hope open to them lies in a training school, where by scientific methods some few of them may possibly be fitted in some measure for self-support. No more pathetic sight is to be seen in this institution than these helpless little ones, and the Board earnestly craves for them the one chance left them. Such a school should have no connection with an asylum for the insane." 
A number of States have schools of this character, and many feeble-minded or defective children are so trained as to be made self-supporting. Much can be done towards

-reclaiming them by a proper system of education and of mental exercise, and it is deplorable to consign th"rn with-<lUt effort upon our part to lives of hopelessness, which is inevitable if they are left to the chance of natural development only. I therefore suggest that a suitable committee Or commission be provided for tre purpose of investigating such schools in other States, where they have been successfully operated, with the view of establishing one in -Georgia. 
SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF. 
The official report of this institution contains much inieresting information and many valuable suggestions. Its .affairs are administered wisely and economically. Last May I accompanied the Board of Visitors to this school, .and joined them in the recommendations set forth in their report.  The sleeping-rooms are so badly crowded as to render them not only uncomfortable, but, I fear, unbealthy. 
ACADEMY FOR THE BLIND. 
Only the colored department of this school has been in operation during this year, on account of sale of the old and the incomplete condition of the new building. The affairs of this institution will be found fully given in the -official report of the Trustees and Superintendent. The report of the Board of Visitors will also be before you, and -contains much valuable information. The recommendations of the Board are conservative and wise. I commend :them to your favorable consideration.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 
Section 1638 of the Code prescribes that the Governor shall procure standards of w~ights and measures for each county which does not have them. There are ten or twelve counties, in addition to the eight new ones, which have not been supplied with standards of weights and measures. During the last two years the Ordinaries of a number of these counties have applied to the Governor for these weights and measures, but as no provision has. been made for their purchase the law and the requests of the Ordinaries could not be complied with. I respectfully bring this matter to your attention, and suggest that suitable provision be made for same. 
OFFICIAL REPORTS. You will have before you the reports of the AttorneyGeneral, State Treasurer, State School Commissioner,. Comptroller-General, Adjutant-General, Commissioner of Agriculture, Secretary of State, State Board of Health,. Railroad Commission, Prison Commission, Pension Commissioner, State Geologist, State Librarian, Roster Commission, Compiler of Records, Keeper of PublicBuildings and Grounds, and such other departments as arerequired by law to submit annual reports. I have carefully examined a majority of these reports, and find them to contain valuable information and many meritorious recommendations. They bear unmistakable evidence of the efficiency and fidelity of these public servants, :md I trust that their recommendations may receive your favorable consideration.

PENSIONS. 
The appropriations made at your last session 'for pensions were ~nsufficient to pay the enrolled claims and thosethat were approved prior to January I, rgo6. The defici\.. amounts to nearly $rg,6oo. In the early part of the year it was apparent that there would be a deficit, which theCommissioner estimated at $17,000. There was somereference made to this fact by the press of the State, and 1 received an offer from an ex-Confederate soldier and a prominent Georgian, to make a loan of $r 7,000 to the Statewithout interest to be used in paying these pension claimsr with the proviso that under no circumstances should his name be disclosed. I communicated with this gentleman. and informed him that I was \vtthout ~uthority to borrow money for the State under the existing conditions, as I did not think this deficit was such a casual deficiency in the treasury as gave the Governor the right to borrow money under the Constitution-the deficiency being in the appropriation and not in the treasury. I also informed him that I appreciated to the fullest extent the generous. impulse which prompted him to make the offer, and suggested that if he would let me have the money to the extent of $r7,ooo that the Commissioner would pay out the: same upon claims in his office, where the claimant would transfer to the Commissioner for his use the pension warrants. This suggestion was adopted, and the $17,000 furnished me I then authorized the Commissioner to pay out the same to such claimants. I therefore recommend the immediate: appropriation of $rg,ooo to cover this de- 
1ici~.

CONTINGENT FUND. 
For the last ten or twelve years the contingent fund has been $10,000 annually. For fifteen or twenty year~ previous to that time it was from fifteen to twenty thousand -dollars annually. Occasionally the Legislature would provide a smaller contingent fund, and invariably it was necessary to increase same at the following session. On the first day of last January there was a deficit of over $2,000 in the contingent fund for 1905, which had to be met out of the fund for 1906, and as the necessary drafts upon this fund have been larger during this year than last year it is apparent that the deficit for this year will be equally as large, which will cause a deficit at the end of this year of about $4,000. 
Demands upon this fund grow with the natural inCrease of the various departments. In the matter of postage, express, telegraph and telephone expenses of the various departments, the increase within the last few years is about fifty per cent. The law enacted at the last session providing for payment of the expenses of judges -of the superior courts, \Yho were directed to hold court in -circuits where the judge thereof was i "Ovidentially prevented from doing so, has added several hundred dollars to these demands, and the expenses of the Duc}::town Commission and litigation have been met out of this fund~ thereby adding to the natural increase. 
 
JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. There will be presented to you the question of provid~ :ing suitable representation of the State's resources at the

FORMER RECOMMENDATIONS. 
I respectfully renew the.recommendations made in mymessage of June 28, 1905, upon the subjects of Electi011' Laws, Immigration, Confederate Flags and Misdemeanor Convicts. I trust that these measures may receive favorable consideration at this session.

'The following communication was read, to wit: 
STATE OF GEORGIA, ExEcuTivE DEPARTMENT, 
ATLANTA, June 28, 1906. 
Gentlemen of the General Assembly: In the words of the unapproachable William Clifton of 
the county of Mcintosh, "I greet you with the homage of my most patriotic and liberty-loving regard." 
Since you last assembled in the service of the State, three worthy members of your faithful body have been gathered to the Father, while one has taken up his home in a sister State. May the spirits of them that have gone hence forever abide in the halo of God's mercy, and may the blessings of Him who doeth all things well rest upon the house of the member who has adopted another State as his home. 
In evidence of my continued confidence and esteem, I :;present you my annual offering of good cheer, coupled 
 
 THURSDAY JuNE 28, 1906. 
 
77 
 
with the wish that as Georgians it may be always your pride to challenge the world on the glory of a statehood whose executive, legislative and judicial brandtes of gov-:ernment for more than twenty-five years have been free from the blight of faithlessness, and untouched by the suggestion of graft. 
It is better to bestow a flower than to plant a thorn ;: more healthful to go through life with a heart well stored with good cheer than to grope wearily through the tangled brush of evil forebodings. A kind word is more: potent than a big stick; a noble impulse more sustaining than unworthy suspicion; and the elbow touch of orderly . companionship more strengthening to government than. base imaginings that breed strife and feed disorder. 
You will find a flower for each member, officer, lady ~tenographer, newspap~r reporter and your elegant postmistress. 
I again congratulate you and the State on the faithfut service of Georgians, 
 
Whose home is in the heart Of every worthy part That is played by the true and the brave. 
 
Very sincerely, 
 
BENJAMIN M. BLACKBURN.

Upon request of Mr. Perry of Hall, the minority report of the committee on Mattingly bonds was ordered to be incorporated in the Journal. The report is as follows : 
 
On motion of Mr. Perry, 300 copies of the minority report, which follows, were ordered printed : 
 
The undersigned members of the Committee on the 
 
Mattingly Bonds bill feel constrained, in the discharge 
 
of our duty to differ with the majority of the commit- 
 
tee. 
 
, 
 
The liability of the State on these bonds has been before 
 
 TuESDAY, JuLY 3, 1906.

the Legislature on at least three different occasions. In 1869 it is true a joint committee reported in favor of the bonds and the Judiciary Committee reported in favor of paying the bonds, on the debt for which they were given, but a strong minority report was made against the entire claim (House Journal 69, page I 6o). \Ve do not find that any final action was taken. In 1883 the matter was again before the Legislature, and a report made in favor of allowing Mattingly to bring the matter before the courts, but there was a minority report (See House Journal, page 41 I), signed by M. P. Reese, Jno. W. Maddox, C. L. Bartlett, A. W. Fite and T. L. Lewis, all eminent lawyers, setting forth upon investigation that they found the entire claim invalid. The resolution to even allow the matter sued in the courts was defeated by I I 7 to 30. (See House Journal 83, page 617). In 1904 the claim was again made and there was a majority report irr favor of the bonds, but a minority report against them_ No final action seems to have been taken at that session.. It is now again presented. 
We have very carefully investigated the entire matter,. and unhesitatingly report that neither the bonds nor the alleged debt in payment of which they were originally given are valid claims against the State. 
r. Did Governor Brown have authority originally to create this debt? The contract was made on November 14th, 186o, for practically $5o,ooo.oo worth of arms;. $24,765.00 to be paid in cash on delivery of the arms and $zs,ooo.oo to be paid at the option of the Governor, in cash or "in six per cent. (6 per cent.) bonds of the State of Georgia." This contract was made with the Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company. 
On November 28th, 1859, the General Assembly passed a resolution authorizing the Governor to purchase a sufficient number of firearms to equip the volunteer com-

panies within the State, now formed or to be organized in twelve months. The Governor sent the resolution back to the Assembly, saying that there were no means provided for complying \Yith it, and asked an appropriation of $75,000.00 or $10o,ooo.oo with which to carry out the resolution. (See House Journal I859, page I94) He clearly recognized that the resolution, without further authority to create a debt or an appropriation, was not sufficient. His message being referred to appropriate committees on December Is. I859. an appropriation of $7s,ooo.oo was made for the purpose. (Acts I 859. page I 1I ) . It appears that Governor Brown then made contracts for arms and purchased from other concerns, using up all the appropriation except $24.765.00. \Vhen the Legislature met again in I86o. in his message of November 7, I86o, (House Journal, page I 7) he says the appropriation was not sufficient and "I recommend an additional appropriation." No action was taken. On November 14, I86o, while the Legislature was in session, Governor Brmvn made the contract with the Sharps Rifle Company, above mentioned, in which he contracted for sufficient arms to exhaust the balance of the appropriation .and $25,ooo.oo worth in excess of the appropriation. It was for this excess of $zs,ooo.oo that these bonds were afterwards issued, and the estate of :Mattingly claims to hold twenty-two ( 22) of these bonds. It is certainly very doubtful whether Governor BrmYn had any authority to purchase this excess of $2 s,ooo.oo worth of arms. \Ve think he did not have such authority, but when he made the contract on November 14th a bill had passed the House appropriating $I,ooo,ooo.oo for the common defense, to be expended in I86r, and providing for an issue of bonds to make up said amount. The bill had been read in the Senate and was unanimously passed in the Senate November 15th. Governor Brown evidently

I2,S. 
 
made the contract in anticipation of this action by the Senate, and not under the authority of the Act of 1859. On November 17, 186o, in response to a resolution by the General Assembly enquiring what contracts had been made, and \vhat arms had been purchased under the authority of the Acts of 1859 appropriating $75,000.00 for that purpose, Governor Brown stated that the appropriation of $1,ooo,ooo.oo would give him ample means to pay for the supplies ordered. It is a fundamental principle of government that the State is not bound by the unauthorized act of any public officer, and that all persons dealing with the public officer is bound to take notice of the limit of his authority. 
Code, paragraph 268. 85 Ga. 171. 119 Ga. 730. 7th \Val. 676-680. So many considerations of grave public policy underlie this principle that it should never be impaired. 2. But, admitting, for the sake of the argument, that there was technical authority to make this contract and to pledge the credit of the State for this $25,000.00 worth of arms, it is yery clear that the Sharpe Rifle Company agreed in the contract to take $25,000.00 worth of these bonds which were then being provided for in payment for the arms. (See copy of contract, exhibit "A" of the petition, page 8, and the Governor's letter, page 13 of the same petition.) And it is also very clear to us that the entire contract, as well as the bonds, were invalid and opposed to the Constitution and public policies of the United States. In the message of Governor Brown, 1859, aski1;1g for authority to purchase these arms for the volunteer companies, he said that we should "prepare for war in time of peace," that we needed to be ready to defend ourselves not only against foreign ambition, but against those

who should be our brothers. (See House Journal, pages 24 and 25.) \Var was already in the air even in 1859, but admitting that there \vas nothing in the Act and resolution of 1859 to indicate any purpose to antagonize the authority of the general government, the situation had taken a more decided shape by :1\ovember I 4. I 86o, when the arms \vere contracted for and the purpose of acquiring the arms and issuing the bonds was at that time in contravention of public policy. and we are forbidden to pay either the contract or the bonds by the provisions of the 14th amendment of the Cnited States Constitution. 
The Supreme Court of the United States confined the operation of that amendment to Acts and contracts "in .aid of rebellion, or which \vere intended to impair the authority of the general government," to Acts and contracts "which impaired or tended to impair the supremacy of the national authority," "which were hostile in their purpose to the authority of the general government."

These qualifying phrases have been held to be equivalent to "affirmative decisions" that acts or contracts within their terms are invalid. 
89 U. S. Supreme Court Reports, page 491. Now, can any one consider the situation in November, 186o, when this contract \vas made, and the Act appropriating a million dollars and authorizing these bonds under the contract contemplated were passed without being forced to the conclusion that the purpose of both was hostile to the authority of the general government, and tended to both impeach and impair the supremacy of the national authority? \Ve all sympathize with and approve the temper, the purposes and the acts both of the Governor and the Leg-

islature. \Ve believe they were morally right, but if rev- 
 
-olutionary. then, as in all revolutions, upon the success of 
 
the movement depended the exemption of these acts and 
 
purposes from their legal consequences. In the prov- 
 
idence of God the resistance to the general government 
 
was unsuccessful. and we are face to face with the naked 
 
legal question whether the acts were \vithout the pale of 
 
the law as expounded by the highest authority. If so, 
 
however much we might desire to pay this alleged debt, 
 
we are positively forbidden to do so. 
 
But to come to the situation : 
 
On Nmember 7. 186o, the Governor in a special mes- 
 
sage said "The Republican party has probably triumphed 
 
over us by the election of their candidate for President 
 
and Vice-President." "Upon my mind there is no doubt 
 
 
 
Georgia has a perfect right to secede." 
 
"Neither the Federal or a State government has any 
 
right to make war upon her for doing so. 
 
"Should Georgia determine to secede if any other gov- 
 
ernment should interfere and take the lives of any of our 
 
citizens 'upon a charge of treason to its authority,' I 
 
would as Governor hang uppn the nearest tree two of the 
 
subjects of such government for each citizen of Georgia 
 
whose lives should be thus taken." 
 
House Journal, November 7, 186o, pp. 48 and 49 
 
"If it is ascertained that the Republican party has tri- 
 
umphed over us, I recommend the call of a convention, 
 
and I will cordially unite with the .Assembly in any action 
 
necessary to the protection of the rights and preservation 
 
of the liberties of the people of Georgia. For the purpose 
 
of putting the State in a defensive condition as fast as 
 
possible, and preparing for an emergency which must be 
 
met sooner or later, I recommend that the sum of one mil- 
 
lion dollars be immediately appropriated and provision 
 
made for raising such portion of the money as may not be

rect, if not verbatim. 
 
House Journal, November 7, 186o, page 52. 
 
In accordance with the above recommendation the Act 
 
of 186o, November 16, was passed. Its preamble is as 
 
follows: 
 
"\Vhereas, The protection of the rights and the preser- 
 
vation of the liberties of the people of Georgia require 
 
that the State should be placed in a posture of complete 
 
defense." 
 
Acts 186o, page 49 
 
This act was passed unanimously. It had passed the 
 
House and on November 14, 186o, the date of Governor 
 
Brown's contract for arms, it was read the second time in 
 
 
 
the Senate, and passed November I 5, approved N ovem- 
 
ber 16. 
 
Lincoln was elected November 7th. On November 
 
12th a resolution was presented to the House by Mr. Julian 
 
Hartridge from the citizens of Chatham "that the election 
 
of Lincoln ought not to be submitted to, that the Legis- 
 
lature take immediate steps to arm and organize the 
 
forces of the State." House. Journal, page 67. Similar 
 
resolutions were coming up from other counties of the 
 
State. 
 
On November 2oth a resolutiem was passed "that the 
 
House responds to the spirit of resistance in various reso- 
 
lutions sent up from various parts of the State," and or- 
 
ders them to be printed: The above resolution from Chat- 
 
ham and ot'hers are printed in House Journal. 
 
On November 13th a resolution was approved author- 
 
izing the Governor to order an election to determine the 
 
question of resistance to the administration of Abraham 
 
Lincoln. 
 
House Journal, page 67. 
 
On November 30 a bill was offered that all officers of 
 
 TuESDA~, JuLY 3, 1906.

the State be relieved from their oath to support the Constitution of the United States. 
An Act was finally passed, but not approved until November 21, calling a convention. The preamble, "Whereas, the present crisis in our national affairs, in the judgment of this General Assembly, demands resistance," etc. 
Acts 186o, page 26. A joint resolution was assented to December 19 in response to similar resolution from the State of Mississippi, presented to the Georgia Legislature on November 7, I86o (see Senate Journal, p. 33), reciting substantially that the President-elect was pledged to wield the power of the Federal government to accomplish the object of his party: to destroy the institution of slavery, and resolving that the present crisis demands resistance, and providing for co-operation with other Southern States. 
Acts 186o, p. 238. See also resolutions introduced in the Senate November 13. Senate Journal 77, calling for resistance to the election of Lincoln. See also November 15, pp. 84-85. Also November 15, p. 90 All these resolutions being referred to a joint committee, culminated in the report of the bill calling for a convention to determine the mode of resistance, November 17th.

alluded to. It is armed resistance to the general government. 
Can it be pretended that the Act of 186o had any purpose save to prepare to resist if necessary, or if so decided by the convention, the authority of the geaeral government? 
Can it be denied that in contracting for this excess of arms for which the bonds were given with the evident purpose to pay for them with these very bonds he had recommended, Governor Brown was providing for probable resistance to the government? 
Mark, it is not the question whether secession was intended or not, though the probability of even that was clearly contemplated, but the question is: \Vas the defiance of the authority of the national government contemplated and provision being made for that emergency? 
Did the company or its agents have notice? These things were not done in a corner. The message had doubtless been published in the papers, and the company in its contract agreed to take the bonds. 
Some resolutions and bills not acted on have been quoted to show what was meant by certain expressionsand what sense current usage gave them. 
It has been urged that even if the bonds were invalid, if the original consideration was lawful there is an obligation to pay and it would not be unlawful to pay. 
This point was before the Supreme Court of North Carolina. In the case under consideration the party holding the bonds had not received them in payment of a debt due him by the State over five ( 5) years before the war, but the court held that having received the bonds, and the bonds being invalid, his debt had gone by the board, and he could not collect it. 
6s N.c. 194. In the case before us the original consideration was in- 
 
 TuESDAY, JuLY 3, 1906. 
 
131 
 
valid. The war message was November 7; contract November 14; delivery of arms November 30, thirty-three days after the Governor was by force and arms taking Fort Pulaski from the control of the Federal government, and in a few days thereafter besieging and capturing the arsenal in Augusta. This was before secession. 
See Minutes ExecutiYe Dept., 1861, p. 185. He left Milledgeville January I to take Fort Pulaski. The bonds thetl)selves ,.,ere signed after the State hac seceded, and if then accepted to meet an obligation of the State the whole transaction becomes illegal ab initio. The acceptance of the bonds in payment of the obligation was an aid to the State in its then attitude to the general government. Be that as it may, they agreed to accept these bonds and did accept them. They received what they contracted for, and certainly that otfght to be the end of the matter. It is significant that Governor Brown had made contracts for arms months before with vVhitney and with the Arms Company, both of ~1assachusetts, who after contracting to deliver arms had violated these promisesand refused to comply with them. 
See message Senate Journal, Nov. 8, 186o, p. 17. The Sharpe Rifle Company was willing, however, to sell arms. They had them to sell, and when people were preparing for war was the time to sell to the best advantage. They took the risk. The desire of gain solves any question as to why they were willing to furnish arms to a Southern State. As to Mattingly's knowledge of the invalidity of the bonds, they came into his hands with the coupons unpaid, the Act authorizing them was recited on their face, the historical events of the time were all sufficient to put him on notice. Besides, it is the law that any bond or obligation invalid 
 
 IJ2 
 
JouRNAL oF THE HousE. 
 
in the hands of the original holder because created in con- 
 
travention of the authority of the government is invalid 
 
in the hands of subsequent holders without regard t0 
 
notice. 
 
I 2 Wallace, 346. 
 
If any part of the consideration is illegal the contract is 
 
void in toto. 
 
I 2 'vVallace 346. 
 
It is urged that inasmuch as the arms were delivered 
 
and the bonds received in payment were invalid we should 
 
pay the claim as an honest debt. 
 
But the same reasoning would require us to pay the 
 
entire war debt, all of which was doubtless honest. That 
 
amounted to over $I8,ooo,ooo, and much of that was on 
 
a specie basis. 
 
The minutes of the executive department show that not 
 
only were twenty-eight bonds, in addition to these twenty- 
 
two now before us, issued to the Sharpe Rifle Company, 
 
which we suppose will come to the surface after we pay 
 
these twenty-two, but that Governor Brown in the months 
 
of February and April, I86I, before money had in any 
 
way depreciated, sold over $300,000 of these bonds, and 
 
received money for them, or at least borrowed money on 
 
the strength of them. 
 
 
 
See minutes, I86I, pp. 200, 20I, 203, 2I4, 2IS, 
 
2I6. 
 
In fact, up to April I8. I86 I (see minutes, I86 I, p. 268) 
 
there had been achat;J.ced on the faith of these bonds still 
 
larger sums. _\ll of this \Yas an honest debt, and honesty 
 
would require us to pay all if we paid any. But \Ye are 
 
forbidden by law to pay any. 
 
Ordinarily the holder of a bond payable to bearer is 
 
presumed to be the owner, but in this case, in which we 
 
are asked to go behind the mere bond, and the claim is 
 
based on the original contract as well as the bonds, it 
 
 133 
 
would be very importan't to know the relation of the holder of the bond to the original obligation and his title to the bond. 
The original party, the Sharpe Rifle l\fanufacturing Company, it appears, became insohent, or was wound up, in 1874. 
Petition does not show any assignment of the debt or contract, but introduces ex parte affidavits explaining how Mattingly became the holder of the bonds. 
These affidavits are, in our opinion, unsatisfactory and conflict seriously. 
\Ve are not disposed to dwell upon this, nor is it necessary, but to say the least they are not sufficient to establish the fact that if we paid these bonds we would be paying them to those to whom the claim, if just and valid,. should be paid. 
 
Respectfully submitted.

I agree to above as to the invalidity of the claim under the Constitution of the United States, disagreeing with remainder.

ATLANTA, GA., July I6, I906. 
The following message was received from His Excellency, the Governor, through his secretary, Mr. Blackburn: 
Mr. Speaker: 
I am directed by His Excellency, the Governor, to deliver to the House of Representatives a communication in writing: 
STATE OF GEORGIA, ExECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, 
ATLANTA, July I6, I9o6. To the General Assembly: 
In pursuance of a constitutional amendment duly ratified by the people, there was created, last year, in Georgia, eight new counties. These counties are without direct representation in the Legislature. As political subdivisions of the State they are entitled as matter of right to share in the benefits and privileges accorded their sist~r counties, and especially to participate in the school fund arising from the hire of convicts, or in lieu thereof to 
 
 JouRNAL oF THE HorsE. 
work their proportionate share of the convicts upon the public roads, as their respective grand juries may elect. 
Prior to the creation of these new counties, and under an Act providing for the lease of convicts, it was provided that the counties then in existence could take either their proportionate share of the funds arising from the hire of the convicts, which share was to be determined by the population in the light of the latest United States census, as a public school .fund, or could work their quota of convicts on the public roads, as the grand juries might elect; and after having elected to work their convicts they should keep them, if they so desired, for the period of five years. A number of the counties in Georgia elected to take in lieu of the hire the labor of the convicts on the public roads, and the Prison Commission, in accordance with the prior law apportioned to such counties the quota Df convicts to which they were entitled. 
This, as above stated, was done prior to the adoption .of the constitutional amendment creating the eight new counties. In several instances the new counties created were taken from the territory of counties which had elected to work their convicts. To permit these counties to retain their previously allowed quota of convicts after the loss of territory would be manifestly unfair to the balance of the counties, and especially to the new county which was created out of the territory of the old county; and yet, under the provisions of the law above quoted, the Prison Commission is powerless to recall the convicts so apportioned, or to make a new apportionment thereof. The Prison Commission of Georgia recognizes this injustice, yet that body is purely administrative, and therefore is powerless to repeal a law of the Legislature, or to administer it contrary to the expressed direction of the Legislature. 
\Vhat has been said relative to the use of the labor of 
 
 -:..-- 
MONDAY, }ULY 16, 19o6. 
the convicts on the public roads, as to the old counties, applies more or less to the distribution of the money arising from the hire-of convicts amongst the new counties. This being the status the State Board of Education will be seriously embarrassed in the distribution of the school fund. This board is likewise purely administrative, and though it may recognize that the legislative scheme for the distribution of this money and amongst these counties is inequitable, it has no power to correct the wrong and injury. 
I therefore recommend to you that legislation should be had empowering the Prison Commission of Georgia to reapportion the comicts in those counties "hich have been affected by recent legislation, wherein the former territory now constitutes a new county, or a part of a new county, upon principles of justice and equity; and that the State Board of Education be empowered to direct the taking of the census in such new territory with the view to ascertaining what would be a proper apportionment of the school fund amongst the counties from which the new counties were created, and as to the new county so created. 
These embarrassments to the several departments of this State result from conditions not anticipated by the Legislature-for at the time of the passage of the Act providing for the distribution of the hire of convicts, or the apportionment of their labor to the counties, it was not in the legislative mind that new counties were to be subsequently created. 
At present the new counties are without representation. To the end that legislation may be had enabling those intrusted with the administration of the law to do justice to all, the foregoing suggestions are respectfully .submitted.

After Mr. Tucker's address the President declared the joint session dissolved. 
 
Mr. Felder, chairman of the committee on the part of the House on the Registration of Land Titles, submitted the following report : 
Mr. S peakcr: 
A resolution was adopted by the Georgia Bar Association in 1902 raising a committee of which the late Hon. Washington Dessau was made chairman to investigate the Torrens System and similar systems for the registration of land titles, which committee made a report to the annual session of 1903, when a committee, consisting of 
Mr. Dessau, Judge Howard Van Epps and Judge J. L. 
Sweat, were appointed to bring the matter to the attention of Governor Joseph M. Terrell, with the view of having legislative action taken upon the subject. As a result Governor Terrell sent a special message to the Legislature, whereupon a resolution was adopted creating a commission to be known as "The Commission on the Registration of Land Titles." Said commission having been continued in force, was, by the action last taken by the Legislature, directed to report to the present session of the General Assembly, whether the Torrens System, or some similar system, for the registration of land titles is advisable and practicable in and for this State. The commission as now constituted is composed 'of Hon. H. A. 
 
 JouRNAL o:F THE HousE. 
Matthews, Hon. H. H. Perry, Hon. T. S. Felder, Hon. B. S. Miller, Hon. P. M. 11ulherin, Hon. Arthur G. Powell, Hon. \Varren Grice and Hon. J. L. Sweat. 
After much research and study Hon. J. L. Sweat of the 
commission drafted a bill fashioned after the present admirable law of Illinois, submitted said bill to the commission at a recent meeting of same, when it was en- . dorsed and is herewith reported with the recommendation that it be passed. As provided, it will not go into effect in any county of the State until first adopted by the people, and then it is not compulsory. It creates no new court or officers, providing the machinery of our superior courts and the clerks thereof with examiners appointed by them. \Vhatever opinion may be entertained by the members of the present Legislature, it is believed that it will be wise to pass the Act proposed in order to preserve in permanent form the results of the labor expended and give to the people the benefit thereof whenever a majority in any county may desire to avail themselves of the benefits of same. 
The Torrens system takes its name from Sir Robert Torrens, who secured its adoption in South Australia in 1858, since which time similar systems have been adopted in Great Britain and other countries, where for many years it has proven highly successful, and in recent years several States of the United States have adopted it, in which it has proven very beneficial. The Torrens system substitutes for our present system of registering deeds a system of registering titles. The true title is ascertained and registered. Land bought under the Act becomes a quick asset to be sold, or pledged for a loan. Instead of an ever-lengthening list of deeds to be examined by a lawyer, whose opinion as to the validity of the title conveyed is often the purchaser's sole guaranty, is substituted a certificate as simple as a certificate of stock, showing on its 
 
 TuESDAY, JuLY 17, 1906. 
 
337 
 
face in whom title is vested, and also all the liens or other interests existing in the premises in question, and the correctness of the certificate is guaranteed by law. 
Under our present system any number of different titles to the same land, including forged and fraudulent deeds, may be recorded, and from an examination of the records it is impossible to tell who is the true owner. Prescriptive title resting largely in parol, is often hard to ascertain, and where properly existing frequently becomes difficult in the course of time to prove, whereas, under the Torrens system, it may be settled for all time, nor can there be any future prescription under said system against the true title. The Torrens system will create one source of title and one only, and that a responsible source. -~ 
It provides against loss out of an indemnity fund. And it facilitates and cheapens transfers of titles. For these and many other reasons we might give we report that in our opinion the Torrens system, as embodied in the bill herewith reported is advisable and practicable in and for this State. 
 
Respectfully submitted.

A resolution to make Senate bill No. 222 the special order for I I :45 o'clock to-day. 
 
Mr. Hall of Bibb, chairman of the Committee on New Counties, submitted the following minority report on Senate bill No. I 57: 
 
Mr. Speaker: 
 
I desire to submit a minority report to the majority report submitted by the Committee on the Creation of New Counties on Senate bill No. I57 I dissent from the conclusion of the majority on the ground that the legislation contemplated by said amendment is unwise and unnecessary. This proposed amendment to the Constitution is a radical departure from the former legislative policy of this State. It is now proposed for the first time to create a new county and incorporate it in the Constitution of the State-this open-wide, this dangerous floodgate of the creation of new counties, which was closed by the Constitution of I877. This Legislature has already exhausted the power to create new counties conferred upon it by the people and there is no reason why any additional counties should be created by it.

We find that on the I7th day of August, 1903, a joint committee of the House and Senate of Georgia was appointed to investigate this claim, and report on the same. . The said committee did file their report, which said report is spread upon the House Journal for the year 1904, pages 8o8, 910 et seq., and said committee recommended that a resolution be adopted conferring upon the Governor and Attorney of the State of Georgia full power to make such settlement with the heirs of Sherman J.

We find further that a resolution was duly offered in conformity with this report, but was not acted upon for the lack of time. 
\Ve respectfully refer to this report, and resolution, and make the same a part of our report, and respectfully recommend that a proper resolution be introduced ,and passed at this session of the Legislature, conferring upon the Governor and Attorney-General power to take up this claim, ascertain the amount and value of said life-term passes, all land, and by proper settlement adjust the claim of the heirs of Sherman J.

GEN"TLEMEN: The Board of Trade of the city of LaGrange petition your honorable body to advance and if possible pass the substitute to the La\Yrence immigration measure now pending before the present session of the Legislature, having been reported favorably by the committee. 
The need for additional laborers in this section is imperative. In order that a portion of the desirable immigrants entering this country may be diverted to our section, we feel that the official sanction and action of our State, through its officials, is necessary to make any effort successful. 
\Ve deem that immediate action in regard to this question on the part of our State is of the greatest importance. \ Ve therefore urge that such steps be taken as will insure the passage of this very important measure at the earliest possible elate. Few measures in our judgment mean more for the development of our section and State. 
Respectfully submitted.

ATLANTA CHAMBER oP CoMMERCE, 
 
August 6, 1906. 
 
Hon. John M. Slaton, Speaker House of Represe~ztatives, City. DEAR SIR: The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, repre- 
senting all that is best in a community which pays onetenth of the State's taxes, has spent a great deal of money and effort for the development of the resources of Georgia. As every county in Georgia is represented in our citizenship, we can appreciate the importance to the whole State of an influx of desirable population through immigration.  
From every part of Georgia, and from all kinds of industry, whether in the field, the forest, or the factory, comes the same cry of insufficient labor. 
\Ve are getting comparatively little immigration, while there is a steady drain on our vital resources to supply the demands \vhich other States are making on our popu~ lation. \Ve have given them 400,ooo native Georgians and have received in return less than half that number. It is not surprising that we are short of labor, and if nothing is done to check this drain, or supply the place of it by desirable immigration, conditions will be far worse than they are now. 
As it is, what little immigration we are getting is not of our selection. If we had a State Bureau of Immigration, with the Commissioner of Agriculture in charge, he could send representatives out and select the best classes of people to bring to Georgia. 
No voluntary association for the purposes of immigration has any standing under the law, and even the railroads with all their facilities can u"ot do the work of a State, because they are not permitted to do it. 
The immigration bill now pending in the House, which 
4G h j 
 
 722 
 
JouRNAL oF THE HousE. 
 
is a substitute for the bill by Mr. Lawrence of Chatham, meets the approval of all commercial bodies in Georgia, and I am informed that it has the hearty support of the farming element. \Ve have reached a serious crisis in the history of our industry, and the Legislature could not do better than expedite the passage of this bill at this session. The great substantial interests of this State in the fields and factories are suffering for the want of labor, and they call upon the Legislature for relief. In our opinion, no more important measure is now before the Legislature of Georgia, and we earnestly ask its passage at this session. 
I am. with high regard, Yours yery truly, SAM D. JONES, 
President Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. 
 
The folhwing bill, \Yhich \Yas n:.acle the special order for this time. was read the third time and put upon its passage, to \Yit:

Respectfully submitted. 
T. R. \VHITLEY, Chairman. 
Mr. Alexander of DeKalb and Mr. \Vright of Floyd submitted the following minority report on the "~fat tingly bond bill": 
To the Speaker a11d House of Representatiues of Georgia: 
Early in the last session a resolution was adopted directing that a committee of eleven be appointed to investigate and report for the information of the House upon the facts connected with twenty-two bonds of the State, dated February 1, 1861, payable to bearer, and now presented for payment by the estate of George :Mattingly, with forty coupons attached to each bond. The committee was further directed to report stH;h bill or resolution as it deemed right and proper in the premises. 
A majority of that committee have submitted a report in which for various reasons I am unable to concur. 
The facts set out in the majority report are substantially correct so far as they go. The conclusion reached by the majority that the contract of November 14, 186o, was a fair and just contract and that t~e Sharp's Rifle Manufacturing Company fully performed its obligation by the timely delivery of the arms contracted for; that the arms have never been paid for and that they ought 
 
 TuESDAY, AuGusT 7, 1906. 
now to be paid for, are propositions which, so far as I know, have never been controverted by any human being, living or dead. I concur entirely in these concluSions. 
Two questions, however, have arisen that should be considered by this House in reference to the present application for payment, and upon which the facts should be reported by this committee - both being questions which have no relation on earth either to the justice of the original debt or the liability and duty of the State to pay it. 
The first of these questions relates to the inquiry whether there exists any prohibition upon this Legislature, emanating from a superior power, forbidding us to pay a debt universally admitted to be just. Upon that inquiry, the majority of the committee have, upon considerations convincing to them, decided and reported that there is nothing in the Federal Constitution to forbid this payment. Two members of the committee have reported, upon considerations equally convincing to them, that the fourteenth amendment is an absolute bar. Cpon that issue I am content to leave the matter to be considered by the House upon the full argument already presented upon ,. both sides. I feel it my duty, however, to add to the minority report, and to be considered for whatever it may be worth, the statement that, while the committee are generally agreed that the Constitution of 1865 and 1868 are both superseded, there was an ordinance adopted by the convention of 1865, as a condition upon our re-admission to the Union, to declare null and void certain debts of the State therein described. In my individual opinion that ordinance is still of force in Georgia. I append a copy of it as an exhibit to this report. \Vithout intending here to express any opinion as to its bearing on the present question, I suggest that by its terms it is 
 
 JouRNAL OF THE HOUSE. 
no less pertinent than the fourteenth amendment to. the Federal Constitution. 
.The other question to which I have alluded relates to the subject of who is the proper person to collect this debt if it is not forbidden that we pay it. No matter how just a debt may be, it is absolutely indispensable that when it is paid it should be paid to the proper claimant. To oyerlook this simple rule of prudence would be inex cusable. It is the purpose of this report to inform the House upon certain facts which seem to me at least to justify the consideration of that subject. In stating thefacts pertinent to this branch of the inquiry and my conclusions as to the law applicable thereto, I shall disregard entirely the question as to whether payment is forbidden, and treat the matter as though no constitutional inhibition had ever been promulgated. 
It admits of no doubt that these twenty-two bonds were part of a series of fifty bonds tendered by Governor Brown, February 22, 1861, to the Sharp's Rifle Manufacturing Company, as compliance with the obligation of the contract of November 14, 186o. Had they been presented therefore without other evidence, they would have imported a prima facie liability on the State to pay the bearer without inquiry into his title. It is elementary law, however, that where there is a defense against a negotiable instrument in the hands of the original payee, the title of the holder may be inquired of in order to let in the defense. Facts have appeared in the present case sufficient to open that inquiry. 
1. When these bonds were transmitted by Governor Brown to the arms company in February, 1861, the country was on the verge of a civil war. By reason of the resultant disturbance, they were delayed in transit, and did not reach their destination till some months after the bombardment of Fort Sumter and about the time of the 
 
 TuESDAY) AuGusT 7, 1906. 
 
729 
 
battle of Bull Run. For reasons satisfactory to itself, the company refused to accept the bonds and elected to stand on its rights under the contract of November 14, 186o. I know of no legal reason why the company could not afterwards change that election, but there is no evidence that it ever did so. On the contrary there is affirmation and indisputable proof in the rec.ords of this House that, as late as 1869. it was adhering to that election and demanding of the State otli.er "bonds of Georgia in the Union or other valid payments," expressly as an obligation arising on the original contract, and expressly as a debt separate and apart from these bonds, and as contradistinguished to them. A joint committee of the House and Senate unanimously found that claim to be proper as made, and reported a resolution for its payment as made. For reasons not disclosed to me or the committee in any way, the resolution ''"as never acted on, and the arms company has never been heard from since. The resolution was referred to the judiciary committee, and a majority reported in favor of its adoption. A minority of that committee, consisting of Dunlap Scott, Thomas W. Grimes, W. A. McDougald, C. C. Duncan, \Villiam D. Anderson, R. W. Flournoy, Augustus H. Lee, Wil- 
liam A. Lane, F. M. Harper and R. \V. Phillips, filed a 
report adverse to the resolution, and calling attention to the ordinance of 1865 and the fact that these bonds were still outstanding, having "perished" in the hands of the applicant. George Penfield was the agent of the company in making the original contract, as well as in the petition for payment in 1869, and it was upon his representation as to the rejection of these bonds that the committees were acting in 1869. 
2. It now appears that during the year 1868 these bonds were in the physical possession of George Penfield. and that he was representing himself as their owner. 
 
 73 
 
JouRNAL oF THE HousE. 
 
How they came to be in his possession as claiming their ownership, we are not informed, but I can see no escape from the conclusion that at that time he could have no possible claim on them. They had been rejected by the company, the company was claiming the debt independent of the bonds, Penfield knew these facts. and a year later was setting up a claim against the State adverse to the bonds, and inconsistent with liability on them. Under these conditions, the conclusion is irresistible that in the year 1868 these twenty-two bonds in the hands of George Penfield were so much waste paper, and could not import a liability against the State of Georgia under any law, human or divine. Acceptance of them by the company was an indispensable prerequisite to the existence of any liability, and Penfield well knew at that time that the company had not accepted them. 
J. During the year 1868, and while Penfield was in the situation above described, he deposited these twentytwo bonds with one George 1\Iattingly as collateral security for a debt of $9,300 personally clue from Penfield. \Vhether the debt was pre-existing or contracted at the time, is not disclosed to the Committee. "Cpon that subject and all others ~1r. Mattingly and those claiming under him are entitled to the benefit of every presumption. I regard him, therefore, as at that time entitled to be treated in law as one who bought the bonds from Penfield and paid for them their full face value in cash. These bonds have remained in his possesion and the possesion of his heirs from that clay to this. 
In considering the legal consequences resulting from this transaction, it seems to me material, if not, indeed, indispensable, that we have clearly in mind the difference between the rules of the common law proper, and "the Ia w merchant" : 
(A) Under the rules of the common law, as it stood 
 
 TuESDAY, AucusT 7, 1906. 
 
731 
 
prior to the adoption of that body of customs usually denominated "the law merchant," Mr. Mattingly acquired absolutely no rights in these bonds whatever, for the simple and obvious reason that Penfield had none, and therefore could convey none. At common law, even if Mattingly had acquired any right or title at all, he would, even as against a private individual, have been obliged to assert his claim in an equitable action, in the name and right of the original payee, and with no greater right than the original payee would have had. This is elementary law, and the statement of it carries, as an unavoidable consequence, the corollary, that had the bonds been issued by a private individual, no liability could possibly have arisen. If, therefore, Mr. Mattingly, by the purchase in question, became entitled to collect the debt from the State ot Georgia, it must have been, not by reason of the common law, but by reason of his becoming entitled under the rules of "the law merchant." 
(B) The law merchant was a matter of custom which , has been grafted on to th~ common law. One of its doc- 
trines is this : that where negotiable paper comes into the hands of an innocent purchaser for value, without notice of any infim1ity in the obligation, or any defense thereto, and before maturity, he is entitled, at law, in his own name, to collect the debt, irrespective of any defense which might have been interposed, by the maker as against the original promisee. If Mr. Mattingly is now entitled to claim the debt, his claim must rest on this ground, and this alone, because neither the arms company nor Penfield could have done so unless the arms company in some way changed its election-a thing- which I have shown it did not do. 
But this doctrine of the law merchant never was and is not now based on any contractual right. It expressly proceeds irrespective of either contract or right. It is a 
 
 732 
 
jOURNAL OF TH! HouSE. 
 
purely artificial rule, operating by way of estoppel and not of contract. It expressly excludes any consideration of the right or liability, and simply shuts the mouth of the maker in the interest of the free currency of paper. It must therefore be applied exactly as .it is laid down, and with all its own conditions. 
One of these conditions is that before the purchaser can invoke it, he must have bought the paper before it was due. Otherwise, the rule is explicit that he stands, exactly as at common law, in the shoes of his vendor. 
When ~Ir. :Mattingly took this paper in 1868 from Penfield, the latter had no title to it and could not have collected it without the perpetration of a fraud on the State, for, according to his own testimony before this House a year later, in 1869, his company was still refusing to accept the bonds, and pressing for the payment of a claim wholly inconsistent with any liability on the bonds. The bonds themselves stood dishonored on their face by the fact that at least fourteen past-due coupons were annexed to each bond. 
In reply to this view it has been urged that the maturity of coupons is not equivalent to the maturity of the debt itself. Upon this subject I have exhaustively searched out precedents. Coupon bonds were not originally known to the law when the law merchant first became a part of our system. The rules about them are therefore necessarily a matter of growth and adaptation. I find that different jurisdictions have adopted different rules on the subject. In some States the maturity of coupons is held to produce the same effect as the maturity of the note itself. In others, not. The Supreme Court of the United States has adopted the latter rule as a general proposition, though it seems to make a distinction in the case of the bonds of a State. In the case of Spencer Trask vs. The Jacksonville, Pensacola and Mobile Railroad, 
 
 TuESDAY, AuGusT 7, I906. 
 
733 
 
I24 United States, SIS, where bonds of the State of Florida had come into the hands of a purchaser, having ten years' coupons annexed at the time, the court said: 
"As t_he bonds were State bonds, the mere fact that no interest had ever been paid, furnished the strongest presumptive evidence that they were dishonored." 
So far as I know, our own court has not made any deliverance on the subject, but it has adopted the rule, about which there is also a conflict of opinion, that 
"if there be several notes, constituting one transaction, but clue at different times, the fact that one is overdue and unpaid shall be notice to the purchaser of all, to put him on his guard as to each." 
Not to apply to coupons this positive rule of our law, which has been adopted into our Code, seems to me illogical, especially when we remember that our court ha!> also adopted this other rule, rejected by the English courts and the courts of the United States, that 
 
"Any circumstance \Yhich would place a prudent man upon his guard in purchasing negotiable paper, shall be sufficient to constitute notice to a purchaser of such paper before it is due." 
 
It has been suggested that the condition of the bonds 
 
was explainable at the time by the fact that the State had 
 
just emerged impoverished from war, and that Mr. Mat- 
 
' 
 
tingly might have reasonably attributed their condition 
 
to that cause. The answer to this, however, is that the 
 
purchaser judges at his peril, and, if the debt is dishonored 
 
on its face, it lets in the maker to all defenses, no matter 
 
what the cause. 
 
Moreover this could not have been the cause, for the 
 
simple reason that in 1866 the State of Georgia had mort- 
 
 734 
 
JouRNAL oF THE HousE. 
 
gaged the \Vestern and Atlantic Railroad for three millions of dollars, and out of the proceeds had paid all the past-due paper which she recognized as owing. 
In considering the views here presented, it should be borne in mind that they are not merely technical and arbitrary rules invoked to defeat a just obligation, but an examination and analysis of a technical and arbitrary rule set up to impose liability upon the State to the exclusion of her perfectly legitimate defense. I am merely dissecting a rule which if enforced would impose on the State a debt which never arose otherwise, but \vhich it i~ claimed should be now technically imposed. The rule is invoked by the applicant to close the mouth of the State. I have endeavored to show that his case does not fall within the rule. 
4 It has been orally contended, however, that while all this is true, there were subsequent transactions which cured the infirmity. The evidence oi these alleged subsequent events is found in certain affidavits taken in 1883, and submitted to the present committee after this question was raised. The substance of these affidavits is that in 1874 the Sharp's Rifle Manufacturing Company was 
dissolved, and all its assets \vere sold to one E. G. 
\Vestcott, "including these bonds." The bonds referred to were testified to as having been continuously in possession of the company. \ Vestcott organized a new company called The Sharp's Rifle Company and sold the assets to it, except the bonds alluded to, which he gave to Penfield in consideration of his services in bringing about the sale. 
If it be tme that the sale here referred to included the twenty-two bonds now in question, then it is true that the title thus acquired by Penfield \vould inure to }fattingly's benefit, and that his title, pre,iously infirm, would become valid. But it is not and manifestly can not be true. 
 
 TuESDAY, AuGusT 7, 1906. 
 
735 
 
If Mattingly has had possession of these bonds since 1868, and the bonds given by Westcott to Penfield in 1874 had been continuously in the possession of the company, it was other bonds and not these bonds that were given up in 1874. The whole tenor of the affidavits taken in 1883 show that the affiants were speaking from a vague and unreliable recollection, and that their testimony is not of much value. 
The absolute justice of the original debt seems to render men blind to the importance of inquiring into the right of the person who seeks to collect it. The joint committee of 1869. for instance, unanimously advised the paynxnt of a claim ad,erse to the one now considered. They formulated and submitted a resolution to that end \Yithout a \Yord as to the return of the bonds, and the Judiciary Committee recommended that it ought to pass.' The language then employed relative to the honorable obligaticn of the other claim was fully as fervid as that now employed with reference to these bonds. And yet, if the Legislature had adopted that resolution, these bonds could still be here with the same claim as now. If it had taken that course, payment would now be refused them for exactly the same legal reasons as I have set forth. In other words, the legal propositions I have enunciated \YOuld be recognized as sound. If they \vould be sound in that case, they are sound now. The fact that the arms "ere tnt paid for to the true owner of the debt can furnish no p;:Jssible reason for paying somebody else, unless he shows a legal or equitable assignment of 
th.e debt. If, on the other hand, we pay these bonds, we pay them 
with full notice that the original creditor rejected them, and that the present claimant has no legal status as owner. \Ve could not set up, as against the company or its succcessors in title, any defense growing out of its laches 
 
 JouRXAL oF THE Hot::'SE. 
in permitting .negotiable paper to go into circulation, for the simple reason that \Ye have a perfect defense to the paper. 
Nor can we, with due regard to our duty, pay the bonds upon any sentimental or conjectural notion that this holder may, after all, be the rightful owner. \Ve are restricted to the cold rules of legal liability. If. under the rules of law, ::\Ir. :Mattingly can not show a clear legal right, this Legislature can not pay him. To do so would be to bestow a mere gratuity, and this is forbidden under our Constitution, article 7, section 16, 111 the words following: 
'.'The General .:-\ssembly shall not. by vote, resolution or order, grant any donation or gratuity in favor of any person, corporation or association." 
I \vould call special attention to the character of the evidence produced. I do not complain so nnich of its being ex parte, but I do feel that it is too much of a secondary character. In a court of justice, the \Yitnesses as to the alleged events of 1874. would not ha,-e been heard in person as to \Yhat was included in the conveyances, but it \Yould have been required that the conveyances themselves or the books of the company be produced. The well-known dangers from secondary evidence are aggravated \Yhen it is not even open to cross-examination. 
As against this view, it has been urged that the long delay of the State in meeting its obligation has put it out of the power of the applicant to produce the evidence. This is wholly a mistake. These bonds were issued in 1861. They were never heard from again for twenty years, except on the one solitary occasion in r869, when a different claimant, presenting a different and inconsistent claim, expressly informed us that the bonds were not a liability of the State. At that very time, these bonds 
 
 TuESDAY, AuGusT 7, 19o6. 
 
737 
 
were outstanding in the hands of Mr. Mattingly, and for thirteen years afterwards he gave not the slightest intimation that he held them. And yet, at that very moment, we know that he was holding business relations with Penfield, who was urging a claim which, if accepted, would have exposed us to the danger of a double liability. During the years 1881 and 1883 Mr. Mattingly was pressing the State for payment. During that time these affidavits were taken. Only nine years had elapsed since the alleged conveyance to Westcott in 1874. The evidence must have been then available, and it is inconceivable that those conveyances and books, if produced, should have failed to throw a flood of light on the transaction. If the evidence has disappeared now, the negligence is not chargeable to the State. 
The whole complexion of the case warns us to be careful. I do not mean to reflect in any way upon the applicant nor his immediate ancestor in title. Evidence has been exhibited to me going to show, upon the authority of eminent Georgians, that George Mattingly was a man of high character. But it is indisputable that Penfield's conduct in the matter appears on its face to have been equivocal. This particular claim lay dormant for thirteen years, while an adverse claim in other hands was active. It is now pressed upon very insubstantial testimony, much of which is contradictory and irreconcilable, and, while I should he reluctant to refuse payment to a creditor entitled to collect, I am unwilling to be drawn into error by an excess of generosity. Generosity in disposing of one's own money may be a virtue. It is not so in a fiduciary agent. Under similar circumstances I should advise a client to be sure that all claims were merged before paying. I can not do less with the State. 
There is not one word in the opinions cited from Mr. Toombs, Mr. Hill, Mr. Stephens, Governor Brown, or 
47 h j 
 
 JouRNAL oF THE HousE. 
Judge Hillyer that is in conflict with these views. The majority report has included extracts from things written on this subject by several of these eminent men. These extracts are intended for preservation. For the same purpose I wish to place upon the record the opinion that the majority of the committee have overlooked the importance of the dates and circumstances under which the utterances were made and the necessity for the context. 
I am by no means sure that these bonds are not a proper claim. It is possible that the applicant can procure more and better evidence to show that they do represent the original debt and that he is duly and legally the assignee and owner thereof. For this reason I would be glad to see him afforded further opportunity to do so. If the House should decide that there is no constitutional inhibition upon the payment of this debt, I recommend that before finally ordering its payment some proper condition be attached to the appropriation for safeguarding the interest of the State by requiring proof submitted to the Governor and Attorney-General that the original claim has been merged into the bonds. 
HooPER ALEXANDER. 
I concur in the foregoing report, and in addition thereto I desire to report that for the reasons given by the minority of the Judiciary Committee in 1869 I think we are forbidden to pay the bonds.

To render null and void all debts of this State created for the purpose of carrying on the late war against the United States. 
 
 TuESDAY, AuGusT 7, 19o6. 
 
739 
 
Be it ordained by the people of Georgia in convention assembled, That all debts contracted or incurred by the State of Georgia, either as a separate State, or as a member of the late partnership or confederacy of States, styled the Confederate States of America, for the purpose of carrying on the late war of secession against the United States of America, or for the purpose of aiding, abetting or promoting said war in any way, directly or indirectly, be, and the same are, hereby declared null and void; and the Legislature is hereby prohibited forever from, in any way, acknowledging or paying said debts, or any part thereof, or from passing any law for that purpose, or to secure or provide for the said debts, or any part thereof, by any appropriation of money, property, stocks, funds, or assets of any kind to that object. 
2. Be it ft:trther ordained, That inasmuch as the annual income of the State, before and during said war, from taxation and other sources of revenue, was amply sufficient for the support of the ordinary civil government of the State, and for the payment of all its expenses, incident to a state of peace; and as the extraordinary expenses which led to the creation of a debt were the offspring and results of the war, it is t~erefore the judgment, ordinance and decree of this convention that all debts of the State incurred during said war, shall be considered, held and treat~d as debts incurred for carrying on the war: Provided, that nothing herein contained shall prevent any Legislature hereafter to assemble from maki~g appropriations of money for the payment of any claim against the State originating after the 19th January, 1861, where it shall be made clearly to appear that such claim was founded upon a consideration disconnected with any purpose of aiding or assisting the prosecution of the late war against the United States, and not incidental to a state of war.

JouRNAL OF 1a:e HousE. 
 
3 Be it further ordained, That all bills, bonds, notes, or evidences of debt whatever, issued by the State, payable only in Confederate currency, or on a contingency or contingencies which have never happened, have ceased to be debts at all, either in whole or part, and are hereby wholly prohibited from being paid, even though originally issued for other purposes than that of carrying on the said war, or aiding or establishing it, directly or indirectly.

By unanimous consent the reading of the Joumal of 
yesterday's proceedings was dispensed with. 
 
The following resolutions were read and referred to the Committee on Rules, to wit: 
 
By Mr. Kelly of Glascock- 
A resolution to make the "Patent Medicine Bill" a special order. 
 
 By Mr. Shultz of Lumpkin- 
A resolution to make House bills Nos. 795 and 955 the special order for Wednesday, August 8. 
Mr. Knight of Berrien, chairman of the Committee to Visit the School for the Deaf, submitted the following report: 
Mr. Speaker: 
The committee appointed to visit the Georgia School for the Deaf, did so on May 26, 1906, and beg to report as follows: 
We do not think a better location for such a school could be found in Georgia; the buildings there now are well built and well kept; 've found many places in nearly all the buildings needing some repairs; we found the grounds as well kept as time and labor could keep them; the grounds contribute very largely to the comfort of the pupils, and make the place wry homelike, and assist in developing the pupils in many \Yays. 
Our visit at this time being to see the pupils at work in the different departments, and at study, we spent most of our time in these departments. The schoolrooms are well-equipped for instructing these children in books that are used by them; they are taught to utter words and to read the lips of the teachers. On this line the advancement was very perceptible. Patient effort on this line will show results not heretofore seen, and s~me day these unfortunate children will speak very many things, and be able to read the lips of their friends in an ordinary conversation. 
We were in all the different school departments; saw the pupils writing, reading, reciting history lessons, and working examples on the blackboard, and we were very 
 
 JouRNAL oF THE HousE. 
much impressed with the proficiency of these pupils in all of these things. They seem to be doing almost as well as pupils that can hear. 
The industrial department shows as much improvement as the literary. The girls are taught art drawing, basketry; sewing is taught-they make all the clothing for the institution, caps and uniforms used by them are made by the girls; the girls are taught to laundry and iron. The boys are taught shoemaking, printing, woodworking, blacksmithing. The boys make all of the shoes vsed by the students, and also much of the furniture used by the institution. All of the boys are taught some useful trade. Besides plain work the boys are taught cabinet work. We saw some furniture carved by these boys equal to any wood-carving in the State. 
We found no complaint to make save in the dormitory, where we found from eight to twenty-five children crowded in one room. One room 18xso contained twentyfive beds. We are told that there are now about six hundred deaf mutes in Georgia-the present institution can only take and crowd them in rooms as stated above about one-third that number. 
We sincerely hope that the bill now pending will pass, giving this institution the appropriation of $30,000 to build a dormitory. when this is done all of these unfortunate children can be taken into this Georgia institution for the deaf.

 THURSDAY, AuGusT 9, 1906.  
The undersigned members of the Committee on Special Judiciary submitted the following minority report on House bill No. 798, known as the Cuthbert dispensary bill: 
Mr. Speaker: 
\Ye. the undersigned members of the Special Judiciary Committee, disagreeing \Yith the action of the committee in recommending favorably House bill No. 798, by Mr. Terry of Randolph. to amend the charter of the city of Cuthbert. in Randolph county, so as to establish a dispensary in said City and county, submit herewith our minority report and protest against the passage of said bill. 
1. At the last session of the General :-\ssembly a dispensary bill \vas passed for the county of Randolph containing a referendum whereby it \\as provided that said measure should not go into effect until ratified by the people of that county at an election to be held for that purpose. 
2. Said election \YaS duly held and said dispensary was defeated by a majority of two to one of the voters of Randolph county. 
3 The present bill contains no referendum to the people of Randolph county, but seeks to establish a dispensary in the city of Cuthbert contrary to the wishes of the people of said county of Randolph, as decisively shown by said election returns. 
4 The Democratic party in this State stands committed to local option, and it is \vithout precedent, undemocratic and _unfair to force upon any people any dispensary measure without providing therei_n an opportunity to ratify or repudiate the same. It is especially without precedent, undemocratic and unfair !o force upon any 
 
 8ro 
 
JouRNAL oF THE HousE. 
 
people any dispensary measure immediately after the same has been voted down by an overwhelming majority. 
\Ve therefore submit that this House should not so far depart from what have become the fixed principles of the party as to force upon the people of Randolph county a dispensary measure which they repudiated less than a year ago at an election regularly held. 
 
Respectfully submitted.

By Mr. Smith of CalhounA bill to create the city court of Calhoun county. 
 
The following communication was read : 
 
To the Honorable John Slaton, Speaker of the Hous~ of Rep-resentatives, Atlanta, Ga:: 
Please find herewith attached a gtatement of charges of offic.ial misconduct \vhich !"prefer against the Hon. John H. Martin, judge of the superior court of the Oconee Circuit of Georgia, and which I beg may be com1111unicated immediately by you to the House of Representatives with a view of impeachment of the said judge. 
SAMUEL GREER. 
 
The following charges I make against Judge J. H. Martin, of the Oconee Circuit, and state therein that he has violated the law by reason of the following facts: 
 
(I) 
 
That on August 6, 1905, he granted a temporary restraining order against F. R. Greer, before service was made on the defendant, who was a non-resident and a foreigner, and upon the affidavit of a party who verified the affidavit to the best of his knowledge and belief. 
 
(2) 
 
That the hearing for the temporary restraining order was heard at Hawkinsville, Ga., October 4, 1905, before him, and he has never rendered a decision thereon. 
 
(3) That the property that is involved in the restraining or- 
 
 JouRNAL oF THE HousE. 
der consist mainly of the Commercial Hotel, in the city of Fitzgerald, Ga., and upon the restraining order he did appoint a receiver to take charge of the property without 
. requiring him to make a bond. 
(4) 
That on March 6, 1906, he appointed an auditor to take evidence in the case, and before the restraining order had been disposed of. 
(S) 
That he has refused application for bond on the part of the defendant. 
(6) 
That since the restraining order ''"as placed on the property it has become dilapidated and has decreased in value and he has refused to allow the same to be repaired or to be reinsured. 
(7) 
That the restraining order is still on the property and it is impossible to rent the same, although there are several parties wanting to rent it. 
(8) 
That hvo terms of the superior court have passed since the restraining order was granted by him, but he has refused to pass upon it. 
(9) 
That he would not allow the rent notes to be collected 
 
 THURSDAY, AuGusT 9, 1906. 
 
Srs 
 
until after due and until after they had been jeopardized by a garnishment in another court. 
 
( 10) 
 
That on May 7, 1906, he passed an order lifting therestraining order in order to allow tenants to levy an attachment suit for $500 damages based upon the ground that the property was in a non-tenantable condition, the same being so caused by the restraining order, the owner:; of the property being unable to repair the same while the restraining order was m vogue. 
 
(II) 
 
That the property is now idle and can not be rented; that the doors of the same are wide open, the furniture exrased to all parties, a good deal of which has been stolen; no one to look after it, although there are about two thousand dollars' worth of furniture therein. 
 
(12) 
 
And further charges that the owners of the Commercial 
 
. 
 
Hotel have been damaged three thousand dollars in clos- 
 
ing up the hotel by illegally granting the interlocutory 
 
order, without the same having been properly sworn to, 
 
and in not requiring the .receiver to protect the property 
 
by having it repaired, and in not requiring the receiver 
 
to look after the furniture in the building. 
 
All of said charges are respectfully submitted.

Upon August fifth, one thousand nine hundred and five 
( 1905), Judge J. H. Martin, judge of the superior courts 
 
of the Oconee Circuit, which includes the county of Irwin, 
 
was presented with the petition in the above-stated case, 
 
That petition was verified by Henry G. Taylor, his oath 
 
being that the allegations in the foregoing petition, so far 
 
as they come within the knowledge of deponent, are true, 
 
and so far as derived from the information or knowledge 
 
of others, deponent believes them to be true. Not a sin- 
 
gle fact in the petition was alleged to be within his knowl- 
 
edge and upon a demurrer to the petition upon the ground 
 
that it was insufficiently verified, the verification was 
 
amended by a further affidavit. This amendment was 
 
made. we think, at the September term following of Irwin 
 
\ 
I 
 
superior court. Upon that petition the judge e.-r: parte and without any 
hearing from defendants, passed an order appointing F. J. Clark temporary receiver, with full authority as stated in his order, and without requiring any bond froth re- 
 
ceiver, who is said to be a man of very little means indeed. 
 
The receiver took possession under that order, and has 
 
been in possession of the property since, and is now. The 
 
order granted very broad powers to the receiver and re- 
 
strained the defendant to the fullest extent. The property 
 
involved in the suit consists of improved real estate, ex- 
 
cept a nominal amount of personal property, possibly one 
 
hundred dollars ($roo.oo) in value. The petition was 
 
filed in the office of the clerk of Irwin superior court, and 
 
-process issued August seventh, one thousand nine hun-

dred and five (1905), returnable to the September term, 
 
one thousand nine hundred and five ( 1905) of that court. 
 
The order, to show cause why a permanent receiver 
 
and injunction should not be granted, was returnable at 
 
Irwinville, Irwin county, September sixth, one thousand 
 
nine hundred and five ( 1905), at eight o'clock p.m., but 
 
the hearing did not occur, and was finally set to be heard 
 
before Judge Martin at Hawkinsville, Georgia, upon Oc- 
 
tober fourth, one thousand nine hundred and five (1905). 
 
On that date the hearing occurred, the evidence was sub- 
 
mitted by plaintiff and defendant, the judge took the mat- 
 
ter under advisement, requiring counsel for both parties 
 
to file briefs in writing with him, which was done. No 
 
decision was rendered, nothwithstanding the urgent ap- 
 
peals to the judge frequently made by defendants' counsel 
 
to do so, and the matter remained in that condition until 
 
the March term, one thousand nine hundred and six 
 
( 19o6) of Irwinville superior court, during which term 
 
the judge announced his purpose to refer the case to an 
 
auditor, and an order was passed referring it to Eschol 
 
Graham as auditor. This was at the trial term of the 
 
-cause. 
 
The auditor gave noti.ce to the parties that he would 
 
'I 
 
hear the case at Fitzgerald at ten o'clock a. m. upon June twenty-first. On Saturday before the hearing, being June 
 
\ 
I 
 
sixteenth, counsel for defendants. went to Hawkinsville 
 
to procure from Judge Martin the. evidence which had 
 
been left in the custody of the judge at the hearing before 
 
him, October fourth, one thousand nine hundred and five 
 
 (1905), and after considerable investigation Judge Mar- 
 
tin found that he had carried all payers to Irwin .county 
 
some 'time before, and had turned over to the clerk or to 
 
plaintiff's counsel the entire file and evidenGe in._ the case,

plaintiff's attorney and had recently been delivered to the 
 
auditor for the purposes of the coming hearing. The 
 
papers had been out of the judge's possession since the 
 
March term of Irwin court, and during all or most of the 
 
time between that and June sixteenth, one thousand nine 
 
hundred and six ( 1906) in the possession of the plaintiff's 
 
attorney. The pleadings in the case were in the possession 
 
of the auditor, the evidence offered by defendant and filed 
 
with Judge Martin was in the possession of plaintiff's at- 
 
torney and was delivered by him to defendants' counsel 
 
at the hearing before the auditor at Fitzgerald on June 
 
twenty-first, one thousand nine hundred and six ( 1906). 
 
The auditor began the hearing, but was unable to com- 
 
plete it, and upon June t\venty-second adjourned to a date 
 
to be hereafter fixed. The auditor stated that he is a 
 
member of the Legislature; that he would leave for At- 
 
lanta to attend the session of that body, convening on the 
 
following wednesday; would remain there: during the 
 
entire session, and would be unable to complete the hear- 
 
ing and make his report to the September term, next, oi 
 
\ 
 
Irwin superior cou~t, and could not do so before the 
 
( 
 
March term, one thousand nine hundred and seven ( 1907) of that court. The matter will thus remain without fur- 
 
I 
 
ther .progre~s in the case, unless an adjourned term of 
 
Irwin superior court is held and the auditor is able to 
 
complete the hearing and make his repprt to that ad- 
 
journed term. 
 
The defendants did not know until June sixteenth, one 
 
thousand nine hundred and six ( 1906),. that Judge Mar- 
 
tin had put the papers out ~f his possessio!). and apparently 
 
abandoned all idea of passing upon the questions su~

the contrary, frequently importuned the judge to determine those questions. and at all times offered to give such bond and security as might be required by the judge in lieu of the appointment of the recei,er and the granting of injunction, without conceding that injunction ought to be granted and receiver appointed in the case as made by the evidence and the law, which facts defendants. firmly contested. 
No relief was granted nor order passed. but the temporary receiver without bond remained. and remains now,. in full charge and the restraining order granted ex parte also continued, and continues in full iorce and effect, the judge having taken no action except to appoint an auditor,. and this notwithstanding the continued p:eading of de- fendant that he render his judgment either granting or refusing the injunction and recei\'ct, or with or without the pri \ilege to defendant of giYit~g reasonable ho!l(l to. avoid the injunction and rccei,er, to the end that the case might be taken to the Supreme Court and there determined by that court upon a fast writ of nror; and unless such action is taken by Judge -:'\1artin, tl1 is condition \Yill continue and exist until the auditor can hear the case, make his report and the report is pa:;s~d upon finally by the superior court. probably as abme stated at or after theMarch term. one thousand nine hundred and seven ( 1907). of I nYin superior court.

DEAR SrR: The people of Dade county, Georgia, and 
 
i 
 
Hamilton county, Tennessee, are very anxious to have the 
 
"\ 
 
line between these two counties located. The uncertainty as to the exact line causes a great deal of friction between 
 
\ 
 
the authorities of the State of Georgia and the State of 
 
Tennessee. Several weeks ago I received a letter from the 
 
Governor of Tennessee urging that suitable provision be 
 
made by the General Assembly at this session for the loca- 
 
tion of this line, as the Tennessee Legislature at its last 
 
session had authorized him to appoint a commission and 
 
appropriated $250 to cover the expenses thereof. Hon. 
 
W. W. Cureton, of Dade, has a resolution pending which 
 
will meet the necessities of this case, and I write to request, 
 
in view of the pressing necessity for immediate action, that 
 
this resolution be advanced upon the calendar. 
 
Very truly yours, 
J. M. TERRELL.

A resolution to make House resolution 232 a special order. 
 
The following petition was read, to wit : 
 
To the Senate and House of Reprcsenfa,tive of the State of 
 
Georgia. 
 
GENTLEMEN: The following petition of the inmates 
 
of the Confederate Soldiers' Home of Georgia is respectfully presented to the General Assembly, asking that a committee of investigation be a~once appointed by your 
 
honorable body before ",hich can be shown in detail the 
 
wants and grievances of the old soldiers now living at "The Home :" 
r. That the institution is overloaded with useiess offi- 
 
cers and employees, taking a\Yay a large amount of the appropriation that should go to the maintenance and sup- 
 
port of the inmates. 
 
2. That the liberal appropriation made by the State is- 
 
not well expended. \Vith an appropriation of $1i,.)OO per annum, to support and maintain less than 100 men, 
 
the inmates have not been well fed or properly clothed. 
 
\Vith fully 50 cents per day per capita, with a house reasonably furnished, and 120 acres of land, the inmates ha,-~ 
 
not been clothed or fed as \Yell as those in similar institu- 
 
) 
 
\ 
 
tions having much less appropriations. A comparison is- 
 
invited with the State Sanitarium, which has cost 31 cents- 
 
per capita. 
 
 
 
3 That there has been no published report of the in- 
 
stitution since 1902; that there is no visiting committee 
 
from the Legislature; that as a consequence the public has no information as to the disposition of the large ap~ 
 
\ 
( 
 
propriations that have been made. 
 
j 
 
 FRIDAY, AUGUST IO, IgOO. 
 
\ 
 
J 
 
4 That owing to the fact that the board of trustees are 
 
~ 
 
scattered over the State and that they only meet quarterly, with short sessions, they are not informed as to the 
 
management of the institution. That the president of the 
 
board lives in a distant town, only making short and hur- 
 
ried visits to the institution; that the vice-president, or 
 
resident director, gives little or no attention to "The 
 
Hoine" affairs. 
 
5 That the treasurer, who is also the purchasing agent, 
 
exercises practically the whole power of the board, and 
 
that under the system as it has existed there is no check 
 
on the expenditures of the funds of the State. 
 
6. That there has been no fair and open tribunal to 
 
which the inmates can carry their complaints. The so- 
 
called investigating committee of the board rarely meets,. 
 
and it is not permitted to the inmates to appear by counsel or even to remain in ~erson to examine and cross-eX- 
 
amine witnesses. 
 
7 That the present building is amply large enough for 
 
all the wants of the inmates, but a judicious expenditure 
 
i 
( 
 
in improving the heating of the house by steam, and add- 
 
ing to the culinary department, is advisable. 
 
8. That there is no necessity for a separate building as 
 
a hospital at a cost of $7,500, for which an appropriation 
 
is now pending passage in the Senate. Such a building 
 
I, 
 
would nearly double the expense of maintaining "The 
 
I 
 
Home," and would not be a benefit. 
 
9 That a careful investigation of "The Home," giving 
 
the old soldiers a full opportunity to be heard, free of co- 
 
ercion, will reveal not only bad management of the funds . 
 
of the institution, but will also show other matters that do 
 
' not reflect credit on the State. Your petitioners pray for 
 
i 
i 
 
an open, full and fair investigation-they are old, infirm 
 
 ::s6o 
 
JouRNAL OF THE HoUSE. 
 
and helpless-they ask kind and considerate treatment~ 
 
:which they are not now receiving.

\Vhile I do not agree to all the wording of this petition,

whether we are being treated as the people of Georgia ex- 
 
pect their Confederate veterans to be treated.

Mr. williams of Laurens arose to a question of personal privilege and said: 
 
Mr. S peakcr: 
Having, \vhile attempting to render honest help to the inmates of the Confederate Soldiers' Home in Georgia provoked some criticisms and vile abuse, I feel it but justice to myself to claim the floor as a matter of personal privilege. 
I desire first to set at rest the vamperings of the vile by saying that I shall not discuss this matter with any but gentlemen. That class of people who are a menace to the body politic, whose only language is the dialect of the degraded, I shall not dignify with further attention.  
l\Ir. Speaker, in order that this matter may take shape and bring something to pass, I desire to say that every charge made by the inmates of "The Home" in their petition read before this body on Friday last I adopt as my charge, and beg the trustees at the earliest convenient date to permit me to submit proof for their consideration. I only impose two conditions: First, that the press shall be admitted to the hearing, but that evidence given by the inmates of "The Home" shall not be so identified as to enable any attache of "The Home'' to know what evidence is given by any particular inmate. Second, the trustees shall within twenty-four nours after the hearing give to the press and to me a copy of their findings. 
 
 MoNDAY, AuGusT 13, 190(5. 
I can not, and I hope the trustees will not, make any <:barge against the State for services or expenses in this <:onnection. 
In addition to the charges made, I state here, and beg to be put to the proof, that the present condition of "The Rome" is a disgrace to Georgia. It h~s been recently stated in the public print that they are given the best of groceries. Butter served in the institution yesterday was the vilest concoction ever called butter.

Mr. Speaker: 
Your special committee appointed under resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives to investigate the sanitary condition and management of the Confederate Soldiers' Home of Georgia, beg to submit the fol- . lowing report : 
1. Your committee visited the Home on the 7th day of August, 1906, and found about ninety inmates present, ight of these being in the hospital, several soldiers not included in this. number were OtJt on leave of absence. The following officers were reported to us as being in 
 
 MONDAY, AUGUST 13, I9Q6. 
 
947 
 
charge: Capt. R. L. Barry, superintendent; Joseph Whit- 
tle, lieutenant; W. B. Clements, clerk; J. M. Mills, first 
corporal; E. W. Hughes, second corporal; J. F. Brooks, 
third corporal ; W m. DeJarnett, fourth corporal ; J no. L. 
Maddox, watchman; Mrs. John Maddox, matron; Mrs. 
Belle Reed, stewardess; Mrs. C. E. McDaniel, hospital 
nurse. 
 
2. There are fifty-three living-rooms in the Home building, all occupied; these rooms have only the ordinary fireplaces for burning coal for heating purposes. The building is a two-story brick structure with thin walls, with no elevator accommodations, nor any means of escape from fire from the second story. The hospital for the sick and invalid soldiers is kept on the .second floor of the building. 
 
3 We found the culinary department fairly clean and in good condition. \Ve found the meats and other artides of food fairly well adapted. 
 
4 The closets and sewers we found in a bad and unwholesome condition-unclean and unsanitary. 
 
5 \Ve found the clothing furnished the soldiers for this season of the year well adapted to their needs anti comfort; however, the winter suits shown us for their use were slightly too light for the comfort, especially of the -advanced age, of the most of the inmates of the Home. 
 
Your committee begs to recommend the following improvements to the board of trustees : 
 
I. That an executive committee be appointed by said board, the majority of whom shall reside as near as practicable to the Home, \vhose duty generally shall be to exercise an immediate management and control of the 
 
 JouRNAL OF THE HOUSE. 
Home, and its inmates, and report the conditions of same annually to said general board in writing-and who shall be clothed with such executive authority as is necessary for an efficient discharge of the practical management of the Home. 
\Ve further recommend that the semi-annual reports, showing itemized statements of all receipts and disbursements, be made to the Governor of the State. 
2. We recommend that the superintendent be directed to immediately proceed to have the clo!?ets and sewers of the Home put in a clean and sanitary condition, and that the weeds grmving up around and near the building be cut away, andli~e and other disinfectants be scattered around the building.  
3 We recommend that the hospital be removed from the second story to the right-hand wing of the building from the front. This change we deem imperative, because the sick and invalid inmates kept as they are on the second story would be the helpless victims of a conflagration in case of fire, as they now have no means of escape from such contingencies. 
The need of a hospital with modern conveniences \\-e deem very necessary, because all of the old soldier inmates will sooner or later-and that will not be many years at best-have to go there. 
Respectfully submitted.

Mr. Speaker: 
 
Your Committee on Hygiene and Sanitation have had under consideration the following Senate bill, and instructed me as their chairman to report same back to the House with the recommendation that same do pass, to wit: 
 
A bill to amend Act of September 27, 1881, relative to

The committee appointed to visit the State Sanitarium submitted the following report : 
 
Mr. Speaker: 
 
Your Committee on State Sanitarium has directed me as their chairman to make the following report : 
 
\Ve visited the State Sanitarium on Friday, August 10, 
1906. \Ve regret to note the illness of Dr. T. 0. P~well, and 
sincerely trust he will soon be restored to his usual good health, because we feel that it would be an irreparable loss to the State to lose the services of this good man. 
\Ve find the affairs of the Sanitarium are being ably cared for during Dr. Powell's illness by his able assistant, Dr. \Vhitaker, whom we desire to commend for his faithfulness and abil}ty, and think him the right man in the right place. 
We find the affairs of the Sanitarium in excellent con- 
 
 95 
 
JouRNAL ol" TH Hm:~:E. 
 
dition in every respect. We find the unfortunate inmates of this institution well cared for. We find the sanitary conditions of the institution in fine condition. We find the patients with very few exceptions well pleased and satisfied. As a whole, we do not believe the affairs of this institution could be managed better than they _are at the present time. 
In conclusion we desire to commend every official connected with the institution from the highest to the lowest. 
We especially uesire to commend the medical staff whom we found to be attentive to every duty, faithful to theh- patients and in our opinion thoroughly competent and qualified to fill their positions. 
 
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Mr. Hall, chairman of the committee to investigate the charges preferred against Hon. J no. H. Martin, judge of the Oconee circuit, submitted the following report : 
Jfr. Speaker: 
Your committee to whom were referred the charges against Hon. John H. Martin, judge of the superior courts of your Oconee circuit, in the memorial of Samuel Greer filed in the House of Representatives at its present session, beg leave to report as follows: 
We have in accordance with instructions contained in the resolution examined the charges and taken the testimony of witnesses for both parties. We find on August 6, 1<)05, as set forth in the memorial of Samuel Greer, that in the case of Andrews vs. Greer et al., the said John 
 
 Tui;s,DAY, AuGUST 14, 19<)6. 
 
979 
 
H. Martin, judge of the aforesaid circuit, did grant a 
 
temporary restraining order and appoint a temporary receiver for certain hotel property as set forth in the memo~ 
 
rial in the town of Fitzgerald. That the receiver was 
 
appointed on an ex parte application of the plaintiff and 
 
without notice to the said Samuel Greer. We find that 
 
on the application for this temporary restraining order 
 
and the appointment of a receiver a hearing was had and 
 
the case was submitted to the judge on the 4th day of 
 
October, 1905, and that no decision in said case was made 
 
by the judge until the second day of July, 1906. We 
 
find further that both the defendant an~ his counsel were 
 
constantly urging and appealing to the judge, the Hon. 
 
John H. Martin, to render his decision in the said case, 
 
and that the decision was not rendered until the second 
 
day of July, 19Q6, and deprived the defendant, the said 
 
Samuel Greer, of the opportunity of having said case 
 
heard in the Supreme Court until the next October term 
 
thereof. 
 
 
 
We further find that when the trial term of this case 
 
was reached that the hearing on the application for the 
 
temporary restraining order and the appointment of the 
 
receiver had not been decided by the court, and that with- 
 
out deciding the que~tion of the appointment of receiver, 
 
the judge retained the temporary receiver appointed on 
 
. the ex parte application as aforesaid, and referred the 
 
said case to the Hon. Escol Graham as auditor, and that 
 
said case is now pending before him as such auditor, and 
 
the property is still in the hands of the receiver as afore- 
 
said after the appoinment of the auditor as aforesaid. 
 
We are compelled to find and report that the judge has 
 
been negligent in this matter, and that by reason of his 
 
negligence the defendants in this case have been deprived 
 
of a prompt and speedy hearing and determination of 
 
the question as required by the laws of the State. It is to 
 
 JOURNAL OF '!'HE HOUSE. 
be said, however, that there is much excuse for the judge 
from his standpoint for his course in this matter. During a portion of this time he was incapacitated for work by reason of serious illness, and at all times he has been very much pressed with the business of his courts. The judge very frankly admitted to the committee that he had been negligent in reference to the matter and expressed his regret for the same. VI/e do not find, however, that he was actuated by anything but the highest motives, and he had not the slightest desire to do any wrong to the defendant, but we are compelled to submit that the defendant, the said Samuel Greer, had just grounds for feeling that the law had not been administered in this case as it should have :been, and that he had been deprived by the judge's delay of his legal riglits. 
We find that the said Samuel Greer in filing said memorial was not actuated by any motive of malice or ill will to the Hon. John H. Martin, but solely for the purpose of having the judge to pass upon said case. As we said before, the evidence acquits Judge Martin of any intention of wrongdoing or of oppression of the plaintiff, but his failure to act in the matter was due solely to negligence on his part. \Ve, therefore, report to the House that we do not find anything in the charges contained in the memorial that requires any further investigation or action upon the part of the House of Representatives.

The committee appointed to inspect the Western and Atlantic Railroad submitted the following report : 
Mr. Speaker: 
The Committee of Inspection of the Western and Atlantic Railroad beg to submit the following report upon the condition of this valuable property owned by the State: 
On the morning of the 13th instant the lessees of this road furnished the committee with a special train, well equipped with a day .coach, Pullman sleeper and an observation car, so that ample opport?nity was given for inspecting the roadway and insuring to the members comfort, refreshment and rest. The train left Atlanta at 9 a.m. and arrived in Chattanooga at 2 p.m., where, upon arrival, the usual good dinner was served to committee and their guests. 
Your committee finds this property of the State in good condition and being well preserved in the hands of the 
 
 WEDNESDAY, AucusT 15, 1906.

lessees: The cuts, fills and drains are all in excellent condition, the timber generally sound and of the best quality of white oak, and the bridges mostly of steel of standard make. We were especially struck with the roomy cuts, broad fills, easy grades for a mountainous country, and gentle curves. The exact elevations, perfect surfacing and heavy ballasting show that the roadway department are men of experience and knowledge, who are using the means at their disposal4to the best advantage. We found some betterments added since our last inspection. The block system is being p~t in, so as to make the handling of trains safer. About thirty-seven miles of this system is now in operat_ion. One new station, for the convenience of passengers and freight, has been added since last year, equipped with ample sidetracks and a pretty and commodious station house. We are informed by the superintendent that during the past twelve months the lessees have spent on improvements of the property an amount aggregating one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Not much progress has been made during the past year in putting down new rails, but we find that about thi1"ty miles of new rails, distributed last year, have been put in place. The real estate in the city of Chattanooga has been very much improved during the last few months. At a rough estimate about thirty thousand dollars has been expended in erecting new buildings, and the work is still going on. 
The rolling-stock of the road appears to be in good order. We are informed that the lessees are well supplied with competent machinists and experienced help, who are well able to keep the cars and engines in perfect order. 
To show the prosperity of the business of this road it is on(y necessary to make a comparative statement of the earnings of the railroads of the country. From the re-

port given by the Interstate Commerce Commission we find that the gross earnings of the great railroads of the North amount to $9,306.00 per mile. In Georgia we find our greatest railroads earn as follows: 
Alabama Great Southern, gross per mile .... $n,666 97 Atlanta, Knoxville & Northern, gross per mile I0,594 o6 Southern, gross per mile. . . . . . ... . . . . . . . . . 5,832 05 Atlantic Coast Line, gross per mile. . . . . . . . . 6,623 47 Central of Georgia, gross per mile . . . . . . . . . 6, I28 20 Western and Atlantic, gross per mile . . . . . . . I 9, I 42 99 
The average gross earnings per mile for the railroads of Georgia is estimated at $5,241.78; the average net earnings for the railroads in Georgia is put at $I,579.82 per mile. The net earnings for the Western and Atlantic Railroad is put at $5,2943 I per mile. These figures show that for the year I905 the expense of operating this road amounted to $I3,848.68 per mile, an amount which shows that a large amount must have been spent in improving the property. 
The development of industries and the general improvement of property along the line of this road warrants the opinion that the value of this property will never be less than it is to-day, but it may be wise just now to look to the future security and prosperity of this road, and to put in motion such legislation as would hedge it in f~om any threatened disaster. A question of such vital importance calls for the profound thought and careful consideration of the wisest of our citizens and legislators. 
We desire to return our thanks and express our appre-

JOURNAL OF THE HoUSE. 
 
We found the buildings and grounds in fine condition, and all the departments of this great institution under excellent control. 
This institution we regard as one of the richest wards of the State, and should at all times receive from the State every possible assistance consistent with good government. The present faculty, headed by Dr. M~theson, has brought this institution to a position where it ranks second to none in the Union, and it is sending out annually large numbers of our own boys, abundantly equipped to grapple with the scientific and industrial problems of the day. 
It was our pleasure to inspect all the departments of this institution and witness the active workings of the same, and, in our opinion, the work that is being done by this institution is of the highest importance to the people of the whole State. 
We would respectfully recommend that the Legislature make adequate appropriation for the equipment of a new chemical laboratory just erected at as early a date as. possible. The grounds of the campus should also be enlarged, and we indorse the appropriation made by the present session for that purpose, as the institution is in great need of more ground. 
The trustees of this institution have made their report, showing the financial condition of this institution to be in first-class shape, which said report has been placed upon the several desks of the members of this House. 
 
All of which is respectfully reported.

 WEDNESDAY, AuGUST 15, 1906. 
 
ron 
 
Mr. Speaker: 
 
At the last session of the General Assembly a resolution passed providing for the iv<>pection by the Penitentiary Committees of both branches of the Legislature of the several convict camps of this State. 
In compliance with the said resolution both the Penitentiary Committee of the House and Senate met in Atlanta in March, a_nd subcommittees were appointed to visit and thoroughly inspect all the convict camps in the State. These several sub-committees proceeded to their tasks and they all did their work faithfully and efficiently. 'The wardens of the camps had no notice of the visitation {)f these legislative committees until they were apprised <>f it by the presence of the committeemen themselves. 
As the camps were not expecting these legislative committees, irregularities and abuses could be apprehended much more readily than where visits are being expected by the several wardens of the State. There is no question that it is far better to do the work when the Legislature is not in session so far as the efficiency of the service is -concerned, but the work is done at greater expense to the State. It is a question of efficient servke against considerable expense to have the convict camps inspected when the Legislature is not in session. 
Some minor irregularities were obse~ved by the committees. The attention of the Prison Commission and their inspectors was called to these, and inspectors now report that these irregularities have been corrected. 
The convict camps, as a usual rule, are in good condition. The convicts are properly clothed and fed, and are humanely treated. The health of the convicts is good. In several camps there was not one convict in the hospital. 
We recommend that the Prison Commission require lessees to furnish cotton pillows for convicts.

JouRNAL OF THE HousE;. 
 
The sub-committee to visit Burke county makes the following report : 
 
Mr. Chairman: We visited Burke county after a good deal of trouble. We found the camp and convicts at work on the roads out about five miles west of Midville. We found the tents in a very bad shape-the bedding there was not as good as they were in the time of the old convict system, but they had a new tent and stated to us that they intended to put it up when they moved. We found some of the convicts barefooted, or so near barefooted that the bottoms would not keep the shovels from cutting their feet. We found that Charlie Hix, colored, from Bulloch cQunty, was suffering for the want of medical treatment. We found that he has only had two small bottles of medicine in six months-this was undisputed. We found also in Burke camp that Dick Davis, colored, from Glenn county, it was stated by the captain in charge that he was crazy and not fit to work, at hard work, and we recommend arid think he ought to be removed to the State farm. 'vVe think the Prison Commission should send and have this camp looked after closely at once. 'vVe will have to say this camp is in the worst shape of any camp under our kno\Yledge. Vve also found, or it was stated by the captain in charge, that they did not allow any preaching in that camp. He gave some little excuse; said they did worse when they did let preachers come in and preach. 
The committee found that the stockade of the Arlington Lumber Company is located on the edge of a large pond, and during a wet season water actually overflows part of the enclosure, even some portion of the ground upon which the building stands, which affects its health conditions. Owing to its location the stockade is infested with thousands of mosquitoes, and the convicts are with- 
 
 WEDNESDAY, AUGUST IS, 1906. 
 
' IOIJ 
 
out protection by screen or net, entailing upon the convicts much suffering. vVe recommend that the location of this camp be changed at once to a hea,lthy location. 
Tuberculous convicts are not separated from the other convicts. We recommend that "the Prison Commission have all tuberculous convicts sent to the State farm, and that they be kept entirely separate and apart in a different building from the other convicts. 
We recommend that the Prison Commission keep white and negro convicts in separate buildings or tents. We oppose social equality of the races whether in the penitentiary or out of it. 
We respectfully submit the above as our report. 
 
Respectfully submitted.

JOURNAL OF TH~ Hous~. 
 
between Mr. C. D. Hill and Hon. T. R. Whitley of t~ county of Douglas, submitted the following report: 
 
Mr. Speaker: 
 
Your special committee appointed to investigate th~ difficulty that occurred upon the floor of the House sev~ eral days ago between Mr. C. D. Hill and Dr. Whitley.. desires to submit the following report : 
 
l 
 
\Ve find upon investigation that Mr. Hill was the im-- 
 
mediate aggressor, both by word and blow, when the 
 
difficulty was precipitated, and the same was the resultant~ 
 
effect of the strong and provocative words previously- 
 
used by Dr. Whitley upon the floor of the House and di-- 
 
rected to :\'lessrs. C. D. and B. H. Hill when the "Mat-- 
 
tingly bond bill"' was upon its passage. 
 
\Ve do not believe that either lo.lr. Hill or Dr. \Vhitley- 
 
contemplated or expected to engage in a personal combat 
 
upon the floor of the House, or that either intended any 
 
discourtesy to the members of the House. Therefore, as 
 
l\fr. Hill was the immediate aggressor, and as he has dis- 
 
cJaimed any intentional violation of the privileges of the 
 
floor, or that either intended any discourtesy to the House,. 
 
we recommend that Mr. Hill's explanation be accepted_ 
 
ancl that the incident be closed. 
 
Respectfully submitted.
