ELEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
STATE HISTORIAN AND DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
ARCHIVES AND HISTORY OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA
To THE STATE HISTORICAL COMMISSION,
HON. L. G. HARDMAN,
Ex-Officio Chairman:
The year brought to a close by this meeting has been a momentous one for
the department of archives and history. The gift of the Rhodes residence,
tendered by the heirs of the late Mr. A. G. Rhodes in May of 1929, was ac
cepted by the general assembly in a resolution introduced by Senator J.
Render Terrell, and signed by the governor Aug. 21, 1929. The sum of
$5000 was appropriated for repairing and shelving the building. Estimates
and plans for the shelving were secured and five bids for the repair work were
obtained in September last. At the direction of the governor the contract
for the alterations was awarded to Padgett & Sutton, who completed their
work in November. Steel shelves for the MS. records were installed by the
Library Bureau in December. Valuable gifts in the form of furniture, mu
seum cases, portieres, curtains, etc., where included with the house. No
funds for the maintenance of the building being available the collection of
MS. records has been continued at the capitol with the exception of some 10,000
tax digests, 1870-1925, recently taken over from the comptroller-general
and for which space was lacking in our capitol quarters. Our stock of de
partmental publications, including the Colonial, Revolutionary and Con
federate Records, issued by the compilers of records Candler, Northen and
Knight has been stored on the ground floor of the new home, and all museum
materials, oil paintings, etc., have been moved and arranged there for dis
play on the upper floors. Since January 1st, the house has been open daily
to the public from 8 to 5:30, except Sundays when the hours are 10 to 12,
this service having been made possible by the payment of heat, light, water
and janitor-service from private funds of the state historian.
The dedication of the building took place on May 10th and llth with two
afternoon receptions to the general public. At the first of these the members
of your honorable board and your wives, Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes and Dr. and
Mrs. Bricker, the donors of the property, Dr. and Mrs. L. L. Knight and
Judge and Mrs. J. Render Terrell were invited to receive. At the second
reception the presidents of the Atlanta and the Georgia historical societies
and the state heads of the various patriotic organizations were asked to form
the receiving line. (The cost of these receptions was also supplied from the
private funds of the state historian.)

Plans for the future include the continued building of the MS. collection
with its three divisions of state, county and private papers; the development
of the pictorial collection, already well under way and divided into portrait
miniatures of outstanding Georgians and photographs of citizens generally
and places of historic interest; and the gathering of relics depicting the life
of our people from the earliest times. All collections of whatever nature
are kept intact and cataloged accordingly. The growth of memorial col
lections manuscript, pictorial, and museum is most gratifying, both from
the standpoint of number and of value. By request three of the secondfloor
rooms have been set aside and now contain the records, relics, portraits,
etc., of the Atlanta Historical Society, the Atlanta Old Guard organization,
and the Spanish-American veterans. The collections of other organizations
will be cared for in the future.
Of necessity the routine work of the department, particularly the catalog
ing, suffered during the year. The tremendous increase in the mail, the added
work in connection with the new home and the great number of accessions
made impossible the type of work the state historian and her two assistants
wish to give. Nevertheless some few thousands of papers were added to the
cataloged collection; approximately 15,000 documents relating to Franklin
county estates and belonging to the Franklin County Collection of records,
were arranged chronologically in folders and filed in dust-proof, light-proof
boxes. All books received during the year were sorted and arranged. The
10,000 tax digests taken over from the comptroller-general were arranged
chronologically by county; others by subject or county as the need might be.
216 biographical questionnaires of prominent Georgians were secured and
cataloged during the year. This collection of questionnaires, begun twelve
years ago, now numbers some 2350. Special efforts were made to obtain
the boundary lines of the militia districts of the various counties. These
lines can be secured only from local sources since the records were not pre
served at the capitol. Letters were written to every county ordinary in the
state and these were followed by requests to other officials or the county
historian when the ordinary was unable to give the information. The bound
aries will be published in the 1931 edition of Georgia©s Official Register. To
date the records for the counties of Bibb, Chatham, Coffee, Columbia, Cook,
Crisp, Effingham, Emanuel, Forsyth, Glynn, Hart, Irwin, Jasper, Long,
Marion, Peach, Rockdale, and Whitfield have been received.
Of paramount interest to the department, though not the work of its
office force, is the movement initiated by Representative James H. Boykin
in a resolution adopted by the general assembly of 1929 to compile the histories
of the various counties for deposit in this department on Georgia Day of 1933
our 200th anniversary. These histories are to be written by county his
torians named by local grand juries and to date 93 counties have made the
necessary appointments. The state historian requested some months ago
the early co-operation of all superior court judges in the naming of the his
torians and called a meeting of the appointees, which was held in Atlanta in
the Rhodes Memorial Hall March 8th, for the discussion of ways and means
of compilation. She has also been in touch by letter with each historian,
furnishing suggestions and offering every possible assistance with materials.

The annual audit of the department was made in February last and the
books pronounced in order.
The state historian having been elected to office in the summer of 1924 for
a six-year term, I respectfully call to your attention the fact that election to
this office for the period, Jan. 1, 1931-Jan. 1, 1937, is now due.
In closing I wish to express my very sincere appreciation of the support
and co-operation I have received from your board during the past six years.
The developments during this time must be a source of gratification to you
as well as to myself. To Messrs. H. M. Stanley, W. J. Speer, and George M.
Napier, who served with my predecessor, Hon. L. L. Knight, a word of es
pecial appreciation is due. Mr. Stanley was one of a committee of three to
arrange for the first quarters for the department and has been a party to
every step in our growth. Mr. Speer has attended every annual meeting of
the board during our twelve years of existence and has at all times taken the
keenest interest in every activity. Colonel Napier, who became a member
in 1921, has handled with efficiency many matters relating to the depart
ment and its interests.

Respectfully submitted,
RUTH BLAIR,
State Historian.

TWELFTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
STATE HISTORIAN AND DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
ARCHIVES AND HISTORY OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA
To THE STATE HISTORICAL COMMISSION,
HON. L. G. HARDMAN,
Ex-Officio Chairman:
The twelve-month period reported on today saw the department of archives
and history established in its new home and entered upon a program of ex
pansion made possible by enlarged quarters, comfortable work rooms for
staff and visitors, and the quiet necessary for the preparation of historical
records. Removal was made possible by Governor Hardman©s assuming
payment of the heat and light bills for the building after Jan. 1, 1931, and the
transfer of records and relics took place early in October, during the renova
tion of the capitol and the relocating of certain of the state departments. The
remaining months of the year were given over to settling into the new home.
Needless to say, the work of straightening was considerably handicapped by
the number of visitors. For that reason office hours were lengthened to in
clude permanently Saturday afternoons, and the first Sunday afternoon in
each month was set apart for open house for the general public. Beginning
with the new year the patriotic societies of the state were invited to receive
with the staff on these Sunday afternoons and to date the Daughters of the
Colonists, the Colonial Dames, the Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims, and
the Daughters of 1812 have each acted as joint hostesses, inviting particularly
on their day their members and friends and displaying, with the state his
torian, records and relics relating to their war period and society. Joint re
ceptions with other organizations are included in our plans for the future.
According to program, which sets aside the first six months of the odd years
for the preparation of the Official Register (the book is given the governor
within a few days after he takes office), the last half of our official year was
given to compiling and proofreading the volume now in the hands of the
printer. This edition, the fifth to be issued, contains the following new
6

material: brief sketches of the state institutions and the courts; transfers
of counties to and from the superior court circuits, 1789-1931, with arrange
ment both by circuit and by county; a numerical listing of the militia dis
tricts of the state and the boundaries of these districts for thirty-eight counties;
a list of Georgians holding high federal positions outside of the state; and the
state democratic platform for 1930.
Included also in the Register is a list of county historians and advisory
boards named in the past two years by local grand juries for 127 counties
(Burke county has offered a prize of $250 for the best MS. submitted), and
the amounts appropriated by 16 counties for the compilation, or the compila
tion and publication, of the histories. The state historian has been in touch
with every appointee relative to the planning of his volume and the sources
of material. In this connection, twenty-four of the historians have either
done or had done research work in the department of archives and history.
Others are arranging to be with us during the next few months. Three
histories Wilkinson, Upson and Coffee compiled by official historians, have
recently been printed. The compilers of the Wilkinson and Upson histories,
however, had been at work on their volumes for several years prior to their
appointment, and the author of the Coffee county history had served for many
years as the ordinary of his county and was well acquainted with the record
of his people. In line with our policy of preserving the personal records of
present-day benefactors, we have collected biographical details for this group
of public servants, the majority of whom are serving without pay.
Cataloging was necessary at a standstill during a greater part of the twelve
month period. A few thousand letters belonging to the early 1800s and a
few hundred biographical questionnaires for soldiers of past wars practically
completed that division of our work. The sorting and arranging and per
manent filing of some 10,000 Wilkes county records taken over in 1930, were
completed. Some 75,000 loose, original records of Crawford county, offered
the department by the county officials and delivered by the county historian,
were received and some few thousands arranged and filed in permanent
form that is, in dust-proof, light-proof boxes. Approximately 5,000 original
papers, including correspondence and opinions, were taken over from the
attorney-general and received temporary filing, preparatory to cataloging.
Eight collections of private papers were received and arranged for immediate
use. This collection of private papers, the third division of the manuscript
department, is growing in a most satisfactory way. All collections are kept
intact and cataloged in the name of the donor or in some name selected by
the donor. The Minnie Robertson Smith Collection, which is being built by
Mrs. Smith©s son, Harvey Smith, is the largest gift of this kind received
during the year, and is being constantly added to. In the past three years
we have taken over for the state 19 of these memorial collections. Consist
ing entirely of family records, they yet contain letters from Alex Stephens,
Robt. Toombs, Howell Cobb, L. Q. C. Lamar, Wm. H. Crawford, Geo. M.
Troup, A. H. Colquitt, H. V. Johnson, L. J. Gartrell and other public men,
with the majority of these marked confidential and referring to public af
fairs.

Several interesting single relics and several collections have been received
for the museum. The most important of these is the Joseph Brown Connally
Collection of world war material consisting of several hundred items.
The Atlanta Historical Society, housed in the building, has made material
additions to its collection of printed Atlantiana. It has also added a number
of valuable maps and original drawings of places, fortifications, etc., including
all of the original papers of Col. L. P. Grant for the fortification of Atlanta
in 1864. Eight drawings of old Atlanta by Wilbur G. Kurtz and several
old prints of Atlanta prior to its burning by Sherman are other valuable and
interesting additions to the collection.
The department of archives and history now houses the largest collection
of state owned paintings of famous Georgians and receives almost weekly
gifts of pictorial materials. Public attention was particularly directed to
this collection of the department by exhibits of thirty-five miniatures by the
late Lucy Stanton, Georgia©s internationally-known miniature painter, and
by some forty pen and ink sketches of historic Atlanta by Wilbur G. Kurtz.
A collection of water colors done by Frank Herring of New York City will
be exhibited at an early date.
The program for the incoming year includes in addition to the cataloging,
which should always be a major activity, the arrangement of the Crawford
county records, the completion of Georgia©s civil service records, 1777-1931-
a compilation of some 40,000 individual records which we hope to put into
print at an early date-and continued work on rosters for five wars, the Revolu
tion, the 1812, the Seminole, the Mexican, and the Spanish-American. These
military rosters will consist of brief biographical sketches of the soldiers,
rather than a mere list of names. The roster of the war of 1812 will be is
sued first.
The annual audit of the books took place in May and pronounced the de
partment living within its income. During the past twenty months, however,
the state historian has paid from her personal funds bills for the department
amounting to around $1800.
Since our last annual report the Rhodes Memorial Building has been in
sured for $50,000. The last report of the auditor recommends that the con
tents of the building be insured also and, at the request of the state historian,
Mclntire, Scott and Knight of Atlanta, have recently evaluated records,
paintings, furniture, etc., at $100,000 for insuring purposes. Both the rec
ommendation and the valuation have been placed before the Budget Com
mittee.

LEGAL DEPARTMENT
The office of attorney-general existed in Georgia from the establishment
of the provincial government in 1754 until the adoption of the constitution
of 1789 (appointment of William Clifton Aug. 12, 1754, State Officers-Ap
pointments, 1754-1827, p. 23), being during this period a separate and dis
tinct office of government (see various appointments of attorneys-general).
The re-organization of the judiciary by an act of Dec. 23, 1789 placed the
office of attorney-general in commission with the duties divided between
two persons styled the attorney-general and the solicitor-general, one to
attend the Eastern judicial circuit and the other the Western (Watkins'
Digest, p. 389) and this arrangement continued until 17%; the act of Feb.
23, 1796 (original on file in department of archives and history) re-organiz
ing the judiciary provided for three judicial circuits and again placed the
office of attorney-general in commission, with the duties divided between
the attorney-general and two solicitors-general. The first two attorneysgeneral
were residents of the Western circuit; the next three of the Eastern
and all others residents of the Middle, the circuit in which the capital was
located. (Solicitor-general of the circuit which embraced the seat of govern
ment, ex-officio, attorney-general. Code of Georgia, 1861, p. 79). In 1868
with the adoption of the constitution of that year the office was restored to
its early dignity, the attorney-general being made legal adviser of the execu
tive department and representative of the state in all criminal and civil

cases (Constitution 1868, art. 5, sec. 7); he is elected biennially by the people
and takes office in June following the general elections.

court for the correction of errors in law and equity from the superior courts
of the several circuits; said court to consist of three judges elected by the
legislature and to sit at least once a year in each of five judicial districts to
be laid off by the general assembly (Acts 1834, p. 66; Acts 1835, p. 49). Act
of Dec. 10, 1845 provided for putting said amendment into effect: judges to
be elected by current session of the legislature and after said election terms
to be for six years; no person eligible to judgeship until ten years after his
admittance to the bar; judicial districts laid out as follows—the First to com
prise the Eastern and the Southern judicial circuits, the Second the South
western and the Chattahoochee, the Third the Coweta and the Flint, the
Fourth the Western and the Cherokee, and the Fifth the Middle, the North
ern and the Ocmulgee circuits; all judges to attend at each term, but court
might be held by two judges if one were providentially kept away; court to
appoint clerk for six-year term, who should attend all sessions, keep minutes
of the proceedings, docket of the cases, etc., and whose office should be in
the capitol where all records and the seal of the court should remain; judges
to elect reporter for six-year term, who should attend all sessions and should
publish from time to time the reports so made (Acts 1845, p. 18). Act of Dec.
9, 1858 declared that the decisions of the supreme court that had been or
might be concurred in by a full court, should not be reversed, overruled or
changed, but should have the same effect as if enacted by the general
assembly (Acts 1858, p. 74).
The constitution adopted Mch. 23, 1861 and ratified July 2, 1861 pro
vided that the three judges of the supreme court should be appointed by
the governor with the advice or consent of two-thirds of the senate for such
terms as might be prescribed by law (art. IV, sec. 2). Act of Dec. 14, 1861,
provided six-year terms for judges of the supreme court (Acts 1861, p. 52).
The constitution adopted Nov. 7, 1865 provided that the supreme court
should be a court alone for the trial and correction of errors in law and equity
from the superior courts of the several circuits and from the city courts of
Savannah and Augusta and such other like courts as might thereafter be
established in other cities; that the court should sit at the seat of govern
ment at such time or times in each year as the general assembly should pre
scribe; and that the three supreme court judges should be elected by the
general assembly for such terms of years—not less then six—as might be
172

prescribed by law (art. IV, sees. II, III). Act of Feb. 20, 1866 provided that
future sessions of the supreme court should be held in Milledgeville on the
first Mondays in June and December (Acts 1865/66, p. 56). Act of Dec.
7, 1866 provided that one of the judges should be styled the chief justice and
that when the office of the oldest judge in commission should become va
cant by death, resignation or otherwise a chief justice should be appointed
or elected to fill said vacancy (Acts 1866, p. 17). The constitution ratified
April 1868 provided that the three supreme court judges should be appoint
ed by the governor, with the advice and consent of the senate, for twelveyear
terms and that the court should sit at the seat of government at such
time in each year as should be prescribed by law (art. V, sees. 2, 9).
The constitution adopted Aug. 25, 1877 and ratified the first Wednesday
in December following, provided that the chief justice and two associate
justices should be elected by the general assembly in joint session for sixyear
terms, beginning on the first day of January after their election (art.
VI, sec. II, par. IV and sec. Ill, par. III). Act of Dec. 16, 1895 proposed
an amendment to the constitution increasing the number of associate justices
to five, providing for the election of the chief justice and the associate jus
tices by the people, with two taking office on Jan. 1 of each odd year, and
authorized the court to sit either in a body or in two divisions of three judges
each, under regulations to be prescribed by the general assembly (Acts 1895,
p. 15); and said amendment was ratified at an election held Oct. 7, 1896.
An act of Dec. 17, 1896 provided that from and after Jan. 1, 1897 the supreme
court might, in its discretion, sit in a body, of which not less than four jus
tices should constitute a quorum, or in separate divisions of three justices
each; the chief justice to designate the two divisions, but the personnel of
each division, under his direction and in accordance with such rules as the
court might prescribe, to be changed from time to time so that the two divi
sions would not become permanent in their constituency; the division of
which the chief justice shall be a member to be distinguished as the First
division and the chief justice to be its presiding justice, the other division
_to be known as the Second division and its presiding justice to be designated
by the chief justice; duties devolving specially upon chief justice to be per
formed by associate justice longest in commission during absence or dis
qualification of chief justice; either division of court to have power to issue
the writ of mandamus and to take any other action necessary to the perfec
tion of the records according to past practice; either division to render a
final verdict in any case argued before it and such verdict to have the same
force and effect as if rendered by the whole court, provided the court shall,
as far as practicable, endeavor to conduct its proceedings so as to have the
concurrence of all justices in all judgments rendered except where there
is an express dissent upon the part of one or more of them; every case ar
gued before either division may be considered and decided by the court
as a whole, or any one or more justices of the other division may participate
in the decision thereof without further argument, but when a case is heard
in a division by only two justices, the chief justice shall direct one or more
justices of the other division to participate in deciding it, or it may be de
cided by the court as a whole; when any justice in either division differs
173

from the other two as to any particular case pending, such case shall go to
the court as a whole for decision; when the court as a whole decides a case
argued before one division only, it may, upon its own motion, order a reargument
therein; in all cases decided by the six justices, the concurrence of a
majority shall be essential to a judgment of reversal, and if the justices are
evenly divided, the judgment of the court below shall stand affirmed; in all
cases decided by the court as a whole, with less than six justices, the concur
rence of at least three shall be essential to a rendition of a judgment, and if
only four justices act upon a case, and they are evenly divided, the case shall
be reargued before a full bench, if possible, before the term closes, and if
not the judgment of the court below shall stand affirmed; both the minutes
and the printed official reports shall show how many and which justices
concurred in each judgment rendered, and which, if any, dissented there
from; and also that section 217 of the Code of 1882 be amended to read as
follows, "a decision rendered by the supreme court prior to the first day of
January, 1897, and concurred in by three judges or justices cannot be re
versed or materially changed except by the concurrence of at least five jus
tices"; unanimous decisions rendered by a full bench of six justices shall
not be overruled or materially modified except in the manner pointed out
in said section, and then only with the concurrence of six justices (Acts 1896,
p. 42.). Jurisdiction: The supreme court shall have no original jurisdic
tion, but shall be a court alone for the trial and correction of errors of law
from the superior courts and the city courts of Atlanta and Savannah, and
such other like courts as have been or may hereafter be established in other
cities, in all cases that involve the construction of the constitution of the
state of Georgia or of the United States, or of treaties between the United
States and foreign governments; in all cases in which the constitu
tionality of any law of the state of Georgia or of the United States is drawn
in question; and, until otherwise provided by law, in all cases respecting
titles to land; in all equity cases; in all cases which involve the validity of,
or the construction of wills; in all cases of conviction of a capital felony;
in all habeas-corpus cases; and in all cases involving extraordinary remedies;
in all divorce and alimony cases, and in all cases certified to it by the court
of appeals for its determination. It shall also be competent for the supreme
court to require by certiorari or otherwise any case to be certified to the
supreme court from the court of appeals for review and determination with
the same power and authority as if the case had been carried by writ of error
to the supreme court. Any case carried to the supreme court or to the court
of appeals, which belongs to the class of which the other court has jurisdiction
shall, until otherwise provided by law, be transferred to the other court
under such rules as the supreme court may prescribe, and the cases so trans
ferred shall be heard and determined by the court which has jurisdiction
thereof (Acts 1916, p. 19). Eligibility: No person shall be judge of the
supreme court unless, at the time of his election, he shall have attained the
age of thirty years, shall have been a citizen of this state three years, and
shall have practiced law for seven years (Constitution, art. VI, sec. XIV,
par. I). Salaries of judges of the supreme court: $7000 (Acts 1920, p. 20).

COURT OF APPEALS
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: Act of July 31, 1906 proposed an amendment to
the constitution creating the court of appeals to consist of three judges elected
by the people for six-year terms; said court to sit at the seat of government
and such other places as may be prescribed by law; laws relating to the su
preme court as to salaries and qualifications of judges, the designation of
other judges to preside when members of the court are disqualified, the
mode of carrying cases to the court, the powers, practice, procedure, times
of sitting, costs of court, publication of reports, etc., to apply to court of
appeals so far as they could be made to apply; decisions of the supreme
court to bind the court of appeals as precedents; court to appoint a clerk and
sheriff, but the reporter of the supreme court to be the reporter of the court
of appeals until otherwise provided by law; act effective Jan. 1, 1907 if rati
fied (Acts 1906, p. 24): said amendment ratified by an election held Oct. 3,
1906. An act of Aug. 19, 1916 provided that from and after Jan. 1, 1917 the
court of appeals should consist of six judges elected by the people for sixyear
terms, with two taking office on Jan. 1 of each odd year; judges to elect
one of their number chief judge for such time as might be prescribed by rule
or order of the court; court to sit in two divisions of three judges each, with
two judges constituting a quorum; assignments to each division to be made
by the chief judge and the personnel of the divisions to be changed from time
to time in accordance with the rules prescribed by the court; the division
of which the chief judge is a member to be known as the First division and
180

he to be its presiding judge; the presiding judge of the Second division tobe
named by the chief judge, who shall under rules prescribed by the court
distribute the cases between the divisions in such manner as to equalize their
work as far as practicable, but all criminal cases shall be assigned to one divi
sion; each division shall hear and determine independently of the other the
cases assigned to it (Acts 1916, p. 56). An act of 1920 provided for an amend
ment to the constitution increasing the salaries of the judges to $7000 per
annum (Acts 1920, p. 20) and said amendment was ratified by an election he
held Nov. 2, 1920. Jurisdiction: The court of appeals shall have jurisdiction
for the trial and correction of errors of law from the superior courts and from
the city courts of Atlanta and Savannah, and such other like courts as have
been or may hereafter be established in other cities, in all cases in which
jurisdiction has not been conferred by this constitution upon the supreme
court, and in such other cases as may hereafter be prescribed by law; except
that where a case is pending in the court of appeals and the court of appeals
desires instruction from the supreme court, it may certify the same to the
supreme court, and thereupon a transcript of the record shall be transmitted
to the supreme court, which, after having afforded to the parties an oppor
tunity to be heard thereon, shall instruct the court of appeals on the ques
tion so certified, and the court of appeals shall be bound by the instructions
so given; but if by reason of equal division of opinion among the justices
of the supreme court no such instruction is given, the court of appeals may
decide the question (Acts 1916, p. 19). Eligibility: Qualifications of judges
of the court of appeals are the same as those for judges of the supreme court
(see above) and require that the candidate, at the time of his election, shall
have attained the age of thirty years, shall have been a citizen of the state
three years, and shall have practiced law for seven years (Constitution, art.

SUPERIOR COURTS
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: On the establishment of the royal government in
Georgia in 1754 courts of judicature were organized. These included a gen
eral court, to be held fdur times a year, for the transaction of civil business
and a court of session of oyer and terminer and general gaol delivery to be
held twice a year for the consideration of criminal matters (Col. Rec. of Ga.,
v. 7, pp. 28-31, 40, 42-50). The judges of these two courts were the same
and at the close of the colonial period consisted of a chief justice and three
assistant judges, one of whom was called the senior judge (Col. Rec. of Ga.,
v. 12, p. 213; v. 39, pp. 37, 42). The chief justice was an appointee of the
king and served during his pleasure with a salary of £500. The assistant
judges were appointed by the governor and served without salaries, except
on the death or in the absence of the chief justice. The general court held
all sessions in Savannah (Col. Rec. of Ga., v. 7, pp. 46, 47). The temporary
constitution of Georgia adopted by the provincial congress Apr. 15, 1776
provided for a chief justice and two assistant judges, an attorney general,
a provost marshal, and a clerk of the court of sessions, appointed by ballot
to serve during the pleasure of congress, and for a court of sessions, or oyer
and terminer, to be held on the first Tuesdays in June and December with the
former rules and methods of proceedings, as nearly as might be, observed
(Rev. Rec. of Ga., v. 1, p. 274).
The constitution adopted Feb. 5, 1777 provided that there should be
established in each county a court, to be called a superior court, to be held
twice in each year; said court to consist of a chief justice and three or more
of the justices residing in the county; in absence of chief justice, the senior
justice on the bench to act as chief justice, with the clerk of the county,
attorney for the state, sheriff, coronor, constable and the jurors (arts. XXXVI,
XL). An act of Mch. 1, 1778 set forth, that by the constitution of the state,
circuit courts were established by the style and title of a superior court and
that as some doubts might arise with the justices in each county, whose duty
it should be to assist in holding such courts, the four assistant and associate
judges named therein for each county, should, with the chief justice, hold the
several superior courts; and that all writs and other processes triable in said
courts should issue either from the chief justice or senior assistant judge of the
county (Watkins, p. 219). An act of Aug. 5, 1782 provided that the courts
of justice for the trial of all criminal matters or such as are carried on in the
name and behalf of the state were declared to be henceforth opened, said
courts having been greatly interrupted in their proceedings since the first
day of July, 1775 (Watkins, p. 254). An act of Feb. 22, 1785 provided for
superior courts in Franklin and Washington counties and named for each
county four assistant justices, who were empowered, in the absence of the
chief justice, to hold the respective superior courts (Watkins, p. 315). An
act of Feb. 13, 1786 provided for four assistant justices in each county, whose
power should be equal in transacting public business, and declared them, or a
majority of them, fully empowered to continue each session of the superior
court in the respective counties to which they belonged for a term not ex
ceeding twenty judicial days (Watkins, p. 338). (Note: the chief justice,
185

with other state house officials, was elected annually by the house of repre
sentatives during practically all of the period 1777-1789; the assistant justices
served during good behavior. In the adjourned session of 1786 a bill foi
regulating the magistracy of the state was introduced in the house of repre
sentatives. On its second reading, "It was moved to strike the following
clause in the said bill, viz., 'And whereas the chief justice has been annually
appointed within the periods recited in said bill; who being a justice of the
peace ought also to be appointed during good behavior, be it therefore enacted
by the authority aforesaid, that when that office shall again be vacant, it
shall be filled up during good behavior.' " The motion carried and the clause
was struck out. The bill, however, failed of passage. See MS. House Journal
1786, pp. 504-5, etc.).
The constitution adopted May 6,1789, effective the first Monday in October
following, provided that a superior court should be held in each county twice
in every year (art. Ill, sec. I) and that the judges and attorney general should
have competent salaries, which should not be increased nor diminished during
their continuance in office, that they should hold their commissions during
terms of three years (art. Ill, sec. 5) and that election should be by the general
assembly (art. IV, sec. 2). An act of Dec. 23, 1789 reorganized the superior
courts and replaced the chief justice and assistant justices with two superior
court judges; divided the counties of the state into the Eastern and Western
judicial districts and fixed the times for holding court twice a year in each
county; placed the office of attorney general in commission by dividing the
duties between two persons styled the attorney-general and the solicitorgeneral,
one to attend the Eastern and the other the Western district and to
exercise the functions of their office jointly or severally, prosecuting all de
linquents for crimes and offences cognizable under the authority of the said
court and all civil actions in which the state should be concerned and giving
his or their advice and opinion, in writing if required, on questions of law to
the governor or other officer touching any matters that might concern their
department (Watkins, p. 389). An act of Dec. 23, 1791 provided that for
the more speedy determination and orderly conducting of all causes in the
superior court, that the judges with the attorney or solicitor-general should,
at the first meeting, frame a "set of rules of proceedings and practice
for all parties, practitioners and others, which should be the same in all the
said counties and which should not be altered but at a meeting of the said
judges, attorney or solicitor-general as aforesaid (Watkins, p. 439). An act
of Feb. 25, 1796 provided that three superior court judges be immediately
elected at an annual salary of $1,400 each; that the state be divided into three
judicial circuits of certain named counties; that the judges meet at Louis
ville on the second Tuesday after each respective circuit for the purpose of
forming rules for the government of the court, determining on such points of
law as might be reserved for argument and might require an uniform decision,
and for giving their opinions on such constitutional and legal points as may be
referred for their consideration by the executive department; that the judges
report the trial of every criminal case of a capital nature, which should be
published as soon as might be after the trial; that the judges, attorney and
solicitors-general frame and agree upon a set of rules of proceedings and prac
tice for all parties, practitioners and others in said courts, which should be the
186

same in all counties and which should not be altered but at a meeting of the
said judges, attorney and solicitors-general; that the office of attorney general
be vested in and the duties thereof performed by three persons to be styled
the attorney and solicitors-general, one to attend the Eastern, one the Middle,

An act of Feb. 9, 1797 provided that the three superior court judges should
preside in each circuit alternately, so that no two terms should be held by
the same judge in the same circuit successively; that the judges, attorneygeneral
and solicitors-general meet annually at Louisville on the 10th of July
for forming rules of government for the superior courts, etc.; that the judges
report every criminal case of a capital nature, which should be published in

The constitution adopted May 13, 1798 provided that judges of the superior
courts should be elected for three-year terms and that the state's attorney
and solicitors should be elected by the legislature for three-year terms; that
their salaries should be adequate to their services and not increased nor
diminished during their continuance in office; and that the courts «hould sit
in each county twice in every year (art. Ill, sees. 1, 2, 3). An act of Dec.
5, 1801 repealed the law requiring the judges of the superior courts to meet
annually at the seat of government for determining on such points of law as
might be reserved for argument, etc., and provided that in all cases brought
in the superior courts, or either of them, where the judge thereof should be
interested therein, three or more of the justices of the inferior court should
preside at the trial (Clayton, p. 37). An act of Dec. 8, 1806 authorized
judges of the superior courts to alternate in their districts (Clayton, p. 328).
An act passed first in December 1834 and second, Dec. 22, 1835, provided
four-year terms for judges of the superior courts (Acts 1834, p. 66; Acts
1835, p. 49). An act passed first Dec. 23, 1840 and second Nov. 26, 1841
provided four-year terms for the state's attorney and solicitors, who should
be appointed by the legislature and commissioned by the governor (Acts
1840, p. 33; Acts 1841, p. 60). An act of Dec. 10, 1841 required judges of the
•superior courts to write out and place upon the minutes of said courts their
decisions in full in cases of motions for new trials, whether rejected or granted,
and upon all cases of judgment upon writs of certiorari, mandamus and habeas
corpus and demurrer, and upon motions in arrest of judgment, and provided
that said decisions should be furnished the governor who was required to
cause them, when of general interest to the people to be properly collated, in
dexed and printed in pamphlet form in editions of five hundred copies, an
nually in August (Acts 1841, p. 132). An act of Dec. 29, 1847 provided
that as the judges of the superior courts were authorized by law to establish,
in convention for such purpose, rules of practice for all superior and inferior
courts of the state, that all rules of practice for said courts prescribed by any
other authorities were declared null and inoperative (Acts 1847, p. 198).
An act of Feb. 21, 1850 made it unlawful for judges of the superior courts to
express an opinion to or in the hearing of the jury relative to guilt of the
accused and provided that in case of such violation the supreme court should
hold the verdict to be reversed and grant a new trial with such directions as
1S7

they might lawfully make (Acts 1849/50, p. 271). An act of Jan. 12, 1852
made it unlawful for the general assembly to elect or appoint the whole or
any portion of the judges of the superior courts and provided that each judi
cial circuit or district elect one superior court judge (Acts 1851/52, p. 85).
An act passed first Feb. 7, 1854 and second Dec. 12, 1855 provided that the
state's attorney and solicitors should be elected by the people (Acts 1853/54,
p. 24; Acts 1855/56, p. 105). An act of Dec. 17, 1860 provided that judges
of the superior courts in all cases of felony, or on the final or appeal trial of
all civil cases tried before them, should give their charges to the jury in writing
and that it should be error for any judges to give any additional charge than
that so written out and read (Acts 1860, p. 42).
The constitution adopted Mch. 23, 1861 and ratified July 2, 1861 provided
for the appointment of superior court judges, and a state's attorney and
solicitors by the governor, with the advice and consent of two-thirds of the
senate, for four-year terms (art. IV, sec. 2, par. 1; art. IV, Sec. 3, par. 2).
The constitution adopted Nov. 7, 1865 provided that until the legislature
should otherwise direct, the judges of the superior court, a state's attorney
and solicitors, should be elected for four-year terms the first Wednesday in
January, immediately before the expiration of the term for which they had
been elected or appointed, by a majority vote of the people in the circuit
in which they were to serve, qualified to vote for members of the general
assembly (art. IV, sec. II, par. 1 and sec. Ill, par. 2). The constitution
ratified in April 1868 provided that the judges of the superior courts, the
attorney general and the solicitors-general should be appointed by the gover

the solicitors-general should be elected by the general assembly in joint ses

election (art. VI, sec. Ill; art. VI, sec. XI, par. I and sec. XII, par. I). An
act of Sep. 29, 1879 provided that in all counties in the state having therein a
city of 10,000 inhabitants, two or more judges of the superior courts might
preside in bank, or said courts might be held in two or more sections at the same
time by different judges in separate rooms in the court house under such reg
ulations as the judge of the circuit, or in his absence the senior judge in com
mission present, might direct; all business other than indictments for felonies
embraced within act (Acts 1878-79, p. 149). An act of Dec. 24, 1886 amended
the act of Sep. 29, 1879 by providing that all business and all causes, civil or
criminal, pending or which might be brought in said courts, should be em
braced within said act of Sep. 29, 1879 (Acts 1886, p. 34). An act of Dec.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: Act of Feb. 25, 1784 provided that the
county surveyors of Franklin and Washington counties should lay out in
each county twenty thousand acres of land of the first quality, in separate
tracts of five thousand acres each, for the endowment of a college or. seminary
of learning; said land to be granted in trust to a self-perpetuating board of
eight trustees, empowered to do all such things as to them shall appear requi
site to forward the establishment of the same; surveyors to make returns to
the trustees in six months and the land to be exempt from taxes (Watkins,
p. 290; Marbury & Crawford, p. 330). Acts of Jan. 27, 1785 provided that
the general superintendence and regulation of the literature of the state, and
in particular of the public seat of learning, be committed to the senatusacademicus,
a body composed of the board of visitors (the governor and council,
327

speaker of the house of assembly, and the chief justice) and the board of
trustees of the University of Georgia (a group of thirteen men with perpetual
succession named in the act); property of institution to be sold only with
joint concurrence of the two boards and by act of the legislature, but the
leasing, farming and managing of the property to be the business of the trus
tees; all officers appointed to the instruction and government of the university
to be of the Christian faith, but no person to be excluded from any of the priv
ileges of the university for religious reasons; president of the university,
with the consent of the trustees, to have power to confer all such honors, de
grees and licenses as are usually conferred in colleges or universities; senatus
academicus to decide the kind of schools and academies to be instituted in
the several parts of the state and to prescribe the branches of instruction for
each and to examine and recommend, or appoint persons for that purpose,
the instructors to be employed in the several institutions; the president of the
university, as often as his duties will permit, and some of the members at
least once a year, to visit and examine into their order and performances; all
public schools supported by public monies to be considered as parts of the uni
versity (Watkins, p. 299; Marbury & Crawford, p. 560). Act of Jan. 26,
1786 appointed three commissioners to fix upon a place for the establishment
of the seat of government and the university, said site to be within twenty
miles of Galphin's old town; to appropriate from public lands, or to purchase
a tract not to exceed one thousand acres and to lay out in lots and streets said
town, Louisville; to reserve sufficient land for state house, university and
other public buildings and to sell so many of the remaining lots as they shall
consider to the public interest; to sell the government house and lot in Savan
nah and use monies arising from said sale for purchase of lands and erection
of said public buildings (Watkins, p. 320; Marbury & Crawford, p. 129).
Act of Feb. 3, 1786 requested the trustees of the university to lay out the town
of Greenesborough in Greene county on the college survey on Richland creek,
originally in Washington county, and after reserving a sufficient number of
lots for public buildings to sell the remaining lots and land adjacent, but the
land so laid off should not exceed one thousand acres; money arising from
sale to be used for the promotion of learning and science (Watkins, p. 322;
Marbury & Crawford, p. 162). Act of Dec. 5, 1800 repealed the act of Jan.
26, 1786 so far as it concerned the fixing of the seat of the university and the
act of Feb. 27, 1785 so far as it concerned the trustees of the university, setting
forth that the said acts had not been carried into effect, that many- of the
original board had died or removed, and that doubts had arisen as to whether
there was in existence a legal board; named thirteen men as a new board, who
should collect all funds, papers and books belonging to the university or com
mence suits for same; and provided that the permanent seat of the university
should be in either Jackson, Franklin, Greene, Hancock, Oglethorpe, Wilkes
or Warren counties (Marbury & Crawford, p. 563). A joint committee of
the general assembly reported Nov. 26, 1800 that there was no meeting of the
board of trustees named in 1785 until 1798 and that it would appear that
little attention was paid to the funds of the institution during that period
(MS. Senate Journal 1800, p. 79). Joint committee on the state of the repub
lic reported Nov. 24, 1801 that the senatus academicus had fixed upon a place
328

in Jackson county by the name of Athens as a permanent seat for the univer
sity and had entered into contracts for the immediate erection of a suitable
and proper collegiate building, which was then in the state of progression (MS.
Senate Journal 1801, p. 217). Act of Nov. 27, 1802 appropriated $5000 as a
loan to the trustees of the university to aid in erecting collegiate buildings,
trustees first giving bond with security to repay said sum within five years
with lawful interest; provided the trustees first deposit in the executive office
unconditional relinquishment from Daniel Easley to all claims to lands con
veyed by him to John Milledge for the use of the university (Clayton, p. 77).
Act of Dec. 10, 1803 authorized the trustees to sell five thousand acres be
longing to the university in Hancock county, also such lots and land adjoining
the site of the university as they may think proper, after reserving thirty-seven
acres for college yard; monies to be used to advance the beneficial purposes of
the university (Clayton, p. 142). Act of Nov. 28, 1806 named five commis
sioners to establish a lottery for raising $3000 to purchase a library for the
use of the university (Clayton, p. 308). Act of Dec. 22, 1808 provided for a
new personnel of the senatus academicus, which should meet annually in Au
gust at Franklin College (Clayton, p. 456). A memorial of the board of trus
tees to the general assembly relative to the income of the university reported
the loss of ten thousand acres granted the university, five thousand in the
fork of the Tugaloo and Keowee rivers and falling within the state of South
Carolina on the establishment of the boundary line, and five thousand in
Jackson county which had been almost entirely recovered at law by indi
viduals claiming same (Senate Journal 1811, p. 50). Act of Dec. 16, 1815
authorized the trustees to sell one tract of land in Greene county, two in Oglethorpe,
one in Clarke, and one in Franklin belonging to the university, in lots
of one hundred acres each at public outcry; proceeds to be invested in stocks
in state or federal banks in the state (Lamar, p. 1058). Resolution of Dec.
18, 1819 appropriated $2000 for erecting edifice for grammer school of Frank
lin University (Lamar, p. 1216). Act of Dec. 21, 1821 provided that the per
manent endowment of the university should consist of not less than $8000
per annum; that when the dividends from bank stock granted the university
fell below that sum, the deficit should be paid, semi-annually, by the state
treasurer from any funds not otherwise appropriated; authorized trustees to
collect and retain $10,000 arising from sale of fractional surveys previous to
1821 and the state treasurer to pay to trustees $15,000 received from pur
chasers of university lands; said $25,000 to be applied to building new college
edifice (Dawson, p. 487). Governor's message of Nov. 7, 1826 reported
that a chair of moral philosophy, rhetoric and belles lettres had been added
at Franklin College (House Journal 1826, p. 15), Act of Dec. 21, 1830 sets
forth that the new college edifice, the library and many of the mathematical
and other instruments had been destroyed by fire; appropriated $6000 annually
to replace building, library and instruments and for defraying annual ex
penses, provided the justices of the inferior courts of each county should se
lect one poor boy, fifteen to eighteen years, to be boarded and educated free
of charge; and loaned $10,000 until such time as the trustees could repay it
from the annual appropriation (Acts 1830, p. 4). Act of Dec. 26, 1831 re
pealed clause providing for the education of poor boys (Acts 1831, p. 6). Act
329

of Dec. 2, 1841 repealed clause providing an annual appropriation of $6000 to
university (Acts .1841, p. 84). Governor's message of Nov. 6, 1855 reported
that by the liberality of the late Dr. William Terrell a chair of agriculture
had been established and $20,000 donated, the interest from which was to
be used for its support (House Journal, 1855/56, p. 28). Act of Dec. 14,
1859 abolished the senatus academicus and transferred its rights, powers,
duties and privileges to the board of trustees; board of fifteen visitors ap
pointed annually by the governor to attend the examinations of the classes
of the university (Acts 1859, p. 26). Act of Dec. 19, 1859 provided that
Joseph Henry Lumpkin, William H. Hull and Thos. R. R. Cobb and their
successors be a body corporate and politic under the name and style of the
Lumpkin Law School with power to contract, sue, plead, etc., in the several
courts of law and equity; to hold and dispose of property, real and personal,
for use of said law school; to grant diplomas to graduates, etc. (Acts 1859,
p. 84). Governor's message of Nov. 5, 1863 reported the operation of the
university suspended when chancellor and entire faculty and a large number
of students responded to call for volunteers (House Journal 1863, p. 40) and the
message of Dec. 14, 1865 reported that the university would re-open in Janu
ary 1866 (House Journal 1865/66, p. 65). Governor Smith's message of
July 17, 1872 reported that Georgia's land scrip received from the sale of the
public lands appropriated the several states by the U. S. congress (thirty
thousand acres for each senator and representative in congress) for the es
tablishment of a college or colleges of agriculture and the mechanic arts had
been sold by Acting Governor Conley for ninety cents an acre, or $243,000,
of which $50,400 had been received, with the remainder due July 3, 1873;
that the time for the establishment of the college (July 2, 1872) would have
expired before the meeting of the general assembly, that the trustees of the
university possessing ample powers to establish the college and thereby pre
vent forfeit of the fund, organized the Georgia State College of Agriculture
and the Mechanic Arts Mch. 30, 1872 and it was operated from May 1, 1872
(House Journal 1872, p. 125). The North Georgia Agricultural College
made a branch of the Georgia State College of Agriculture and the Mechanic
Arts and a department of the University of Georgia towards the close of the
year 1872, was formally opened in January 1873, the trustees of the university
having previously made an annual appropriation of $2000 from the land
scrip fund for its organization (Acts 1875, p. 11; House Journal 1874, p. 16).
The agreement between the trustees of the university and the trustees of the
Medical College of Georgia recorded the adoption of the Medical College as
the medical department of the university July 5, 1873 (Goodrich's History
of the Medical Department of the University of Georgia, pp. 202, 203). Act
of Feb. 26, 1877 amended the code of Georgia by striking out the words, "all
officers elected or appointed for the University of Georgia shall be of the
Christian religion" (Acts 1877, p. 17). Act of Dec. 16, 1878 authorized the
trustees of the university to accept, in their discretion, colleges of agriculture
and the mechanic arts as branches of the university, one to be incorporated
and endowed with suitable real estate and the necessary buildings by the
people of Thomasville and the surrounding country and the other by the
people of Cuthbert and southwest Georgia, and to appropriate annually from
330

the land scrip fund such sum for each as they may think fit (Acts 1878-79,
p. 97). Act of Oct. 14, 1879 provided for the loan of the state house and
square, the executive mansion and premises, and the penitentiary square and
appurtenances, at Milledgeville, to the trustees of the University of Georgia
for the establishment of the Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural Col

(Acts 1878-79, p. 91). Act of Oct. 14, 1879 provided for the creation of the

be determined by gifts of necessary grounds and buildings; act inoperative
until the trustees of the Peabody Fund shall have bound themselves to donate
for the use of said college the sum of $6000 annually until the tender and ac
ceptance of grounds and buildings, and until the removal of the Nashville
Normal College from Nashville, Tenn., to this state (Acts 1878-79, p. 93;
note: this act never effective). Governor's message of Nov. 4, 1880 to the
general assembly reported that the sum of $7000 was raised by the citizens of
Thomasville and the campus and buildings of old Fletcher Institute were given
by the Methodist church for the use of the South Georgia College of Agri
culture and Mechanic Arts at Thomasville and that the school was organized in
September 1879; also that the property of the Southwest Georgia Agricultural
College at Cuthbert, which was opened Sep. 15, 1879, consisted of the build
ings and real estate formerly belonging to the Bethel Female College and the
Cuthbert Male High School (House Journal 1880, p. 18). Act of Sep. 28,
1881 authorized the trustees of the university to accept, as a branch of the
university, a college of agriculture and the mechanical arts to be established
at Hamilton and endowed with suitable real estate and needful buildings by
the citizens of said town and western Georgia and to appropriate annually
for the payment of teachers of said college, out of the land scrip fund or any
other funds in their possession, such sum as may be deemed practicable and
wise (Acts 1880-81, p. 100; note: this act never effective). Act of Sep. 29,
1881 appropriated $2000 for the purpose of enabling the trustees of the uni
versity to provide free tuition in that institution (Acts 1880-81, p. 16). Act
of Sep. 30, 1881 provided that upon presentation by the trustees of the uni
versity of any valid matured bond of this state for redemption, the governor
should issue in lieu thereof a bond equal in principal, due fifty years from
date of issue, and bearing 7% interest, said bond not negotiable, transferable,
nor redeemable before maturity; interest payable on first days of January
and July (Acts 1880-81, p. 101). An act of Oct. 13, 1885 provided for the es
tablishment of a technological school (Georgia School of Technology; Acts
1911, p. 159), as a branch of the university, to be located within or near the
corporate limits of that city or town offering the best inducements (Acts
1884-85, p. 69). Act of Oct. 13, 1887 provided that the governor should
appoint annually five experienced educators, citizens of the state, as a special
board of visitors, to attend the examinations of the university preceding the
annual commencement and to examine personally into the condition and
management of said institution; said visitors to submit their report in writing
to the governor to be laid before the general assembly; compensation to be

of Nov. 8, 1889 provided for the establishment of the Georgia Normal and
Industrial College (Georgia State College for Women; Acts 1922, p. 10), as
a branch of the university (Acts 1889, p. 10). Act of Nov. 12, 1889 provided
that all branches of the university that have been or may hereafter be estab
lished shall be open to all white female students of proper age and qualifica
tions, with equal rights and privileges as those exercised and enjoyed by
male students (Acts 1889, p. 123). Act of Nov. 26, 1890 provided for the
establishment of a school for the industrial education of colored persons
(Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youths; Acts 1895, pp. 94,95),
as a branch of the university (Acts 1890-91, v. 1, p. 114). Act of Oct. 21,
1891 provided for the establishment of the State Normal School (Georgia

the common schools of the state, as a department of the university (Acts
1890-91, v. 1, p. 126). Act of Dec. 18, 1894 provided that it should be the

gia and such of its colleges and technical schools as may be eligible, to par
ticipate in the rights and privileges of the Carnegie Foundation for the ad

GEORGIA EXPERIMENT STATION,
Experiment
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: Act of Dec. 24, 1888 accepted the annual appro
priation of $15,000 from the United States, made under the acts of congress
approved Mch. 2, 1887 and July 18, 1888 for the establishment of agricul
tural experiment stations in connection with the colleges established in the
several states, under provisions of an act approved July 2, 1862 (Acts 1888,
p. 45). Act of Dec. 29, 1888 provided for the establishment of an experiment
station and experimental farm, to be known as the Georgia Experiment Sta
tion, with the specific object of determining the capacity of new plants for
acclimation, the manurial value of fertilizers and composts, the making of
soil tests and seed tests, the examination of grasses and other plants, the in
vestigation of the growth, requirements and comparative value of different
crops, the study of the economic production of milk and butter, and the con
ducting of such other tests and the making of such other investigations and
experiments in the field as are suggested in the act of the federal congress
approved Mch. 2, 1887, entitled an act to establish agricultural experiment
stations, etc.; said experiment station to be regarded as connected with the
Georgia State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts; board of directors
to receive offers from counties, communities or persons to donate land and
buildings or land and money, but in selecting site for said station to have
reference to the central portion of the state, the accessibility of the place
offered, the healthfulness of the locality and the adaptibility of the land to
represent the variety of soils in the state; $5000 appropriated to carry into
effect the provisions of the act (Acts 1888, p. 49). The governor's message
of July 3, 1918 to the general assembly reported that Georgia had given
practically nothing to the Agricultural Experiment Station and that the
U. S. government, after ample warning through the secretary of agriculture,
had withdrawn federal funds from the Georgia station on the grounds that
the station was not being conducted in conformity with federal regulations
which specify that such stations should be under the control of officers of the
State College of Agriculture (House Journal 1918, p. 110). A resolution
offered in U. S. congress by J. Walter Wise, congressman of the sixth district
of Georgia, and passed in 1918, provided that hereafter the secretary of agri
culture be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to certify to the secre
tary of the treasury for payment, and the secretary of the treasury is author
ized and directed to pay the appropriation for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1918, and all future appropriations to the Georgia Experiment Station, as
authorized by the act of Mch. 2, 1887 (24 Stat., p. 440),commonly referred
to as the Hatch Act, and the act of Mch. 16, 1906 (34 Stat., p. 63), known as
the Adams Act, and all amendments to said acts, in accordance with the act
of the general assembly of Georgia approved Dec. 29, 1888, establishing the
844

Georgia Experiment Station, and the act of Aug. 18, 1906, accepting the bene
fits of the Adams Act, and provided further that nothing herein shall be
construed as limiting the authority of the secretary of agriculture over and
respecting the supervision of the operation of the said Georgia Experiment
Station as set forth in said acts of congress (40 Stat., p. 998). Resolution of
Aug. 26, 1925 gave the assent of the state of Georgia to the provisions of an
act of congress approved Feb. 24, 1925, entitled an act to authorize the more
complete endowment of agricultural experiment stations, and directed that
the board of directors receive the annual appropriation made the state (Acts
1925, p. 1584). The board of directors consists of one member from each
congressional district (selected from practical and successful farmers) ap
pointed by the governor for five-year terms, a member of the faculty of the
Georgia State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts designated annually
by the governor, and the commissioner of agriculture and the chancellor of
the University of Georgia, ex-officio. (Acts 1888, p. 49). See also the
following Acts: 1889, pp. 166, 172; 1893, p. 509; 1906, p.1161; 1914, p. 12;

GEORGIA STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AND
MECHANIC ARTS,
Athens
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: Governor Johnson in a message to the general
assembly, Nov. 6, 1855, reported that the first movement in Georgia in favor
of agricultural education had been made by the establishment of a chair of
agriculture in the university, supported by the interest from $20,000 donated
by the late Dr. William Terrell (House Journal 1855/56, p. 28). An act
360

of Met. 10, 1866 provided for acceptance of the donation by the United
States of such public lands as may be apportioned to Georgia under act of
congress, entitled an act for donating public lands to the several states and
territories which may provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture and the
mechanic arts approved July 2, 1862 and an act extending the time within
which the states and territories may accept the grant of lands made by afore
said act, approved Apr. 14, 1864 (Acts 1865/66, p. 5). Act of Dec. 12, 1866
requested the governor to apply for, receive and sell the lands and land scrip
to which the state of Georgia was entitled under the act of congress approved
Jujy 2, 1862; to invest the proceeds of said sale or sales in bonds of this state
and disburse interest of said investment for maintenance of a college as con
templated by the act of congress; and to provide rules and regulations for
the organization and operation of said college until the next session of the
general assembly; $2000 appropriated to carry act into effect (Acts 1866,
p. 64). Governor Smith's message to the general assembly of 1872 reported
that the states were allowed until July 2, 1872 to establish colleges; that the
land scrip to Georgia was sold by Acting Governor Conley at ninety cents per
acre, or $243,000, of which $50,400 had been received, with the remainder
due July 3, 1873; that the time limit for the establishment of the college
would expire before the meeting of the general assembly; that the trustees
of the University of Georgia, possessing ample powers to establish the college
and thereby prevent forfeit of the fund, organized the school Mch. 30, 1872
and that it was operated from May 1, 1872 (House Journal 1872, p. 125).
The contract between Governor James M. Smith and the trustees of the uni
versity sets forth that the name of the institution should be the Georgia State
College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts; that the administrative details
concerning discipline and schedules of study should be entrusted to the chan
cellor of the university and the officers provided for the college; that the
Civil Engineer School, then a part of the University of Georgia, should be

by the senate for six-year terms; three of these shall be named from the trustees
of the university, three from the directors of the Georgia Experiment Sta

GEORGIA STATE INDUSTRIAL COLLEGE FOR COLORED
YOUTHS,
Savannah
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: By an act of July 2, 1862 the U. S. Congress ap
propriated to each state land grant scrip for thirty thousand acres of public
lands for each senator and representative in congress for the purpose of es
tablishing a college or colleges whose chief object should be to teach such
branches of learning as relate to agriculture and the mechanic arts; the pro
ceeds of the sale of Georgia's land scrip, amounting to $243,000 were made sub
ject to the order of the trustees of the University of Georgia for the support
of these colleges. By act of Mch. 3, 1874 an antaual appropriation of $8000
was made to the Atlanta University upon condition that the institution admit
free of tuition charge as many colored pupils from each county in the state
as there were members in the house of representatives from said county, said
pupils to be nominated by said members, respectively; provided the trustees
of said institution submit annually a plan for the expenditure of said sum to
a board of commissioners (chancellor of the University of Georgia and two
members of the faculty of same to be selected by him) and it be approved
and filed in the executive office, and that said commissioners have authority
to see that said sum be used according to the proposed plan of expenditure;
that said appropriation should be in lieu of any claim of the colored population
upon the proceeds of the agricultural land scrip; that course of instruction be
modified to adapt same to the objects of the grant; that the board of visitors
of the state university exercise like functions and powers touching said institu
tion as are prescribed by law for said board in relation to the state university.
The Atlanta University received said annual appropriation of $8000, 1874—
1887, when a resolution of Sep. 23, 1887 discontinued the sum until a plan of
expenditure insuring the exclusive use of same for the education of colored
children only had been submitted and approved by the board of commission
ers (it was discovered that the Atlanta University matriculated white as well
as colored students, and its authorities asserted that they would continue to
do so, in violation of the settled policy of this state against coeducation of
the races). (House Journal 1890, p. 72) Act of Nov. 26, 1890 provided for
the establishment of a school for the education of colored students, as a branch
of the University of Georgia; school to be located within or near to the cor
porate limits of that city or town offering the best inducements, preference
being given to such place as shall be of easy access to all the colored people
of the state, and suitable buildings to be provided; course of training to em
brace studies required by acts of congress approved July 2, 1862 and Aug.
30, 1890, making donations of public lands; one beneficiary for each repre
sentative in general assembly from each county in state, selected by county
board of education, and tuition free to all students resident of the state; tuition
384

for non-residents not to exceed $50; $8000 appropriated annually to school,
said appropriation to be in lieu of any claim of the colored population of the
state upon the agricultural land scrip; board of visitors of state university
to exercise like functions touching said institutions as are prescribed for said
board in relation to the state university; that in regard to the additional
donation of the proceeds of public lands made this state by the U. S. under
act of Aug. 30, 1890 the general assembly reports to the secretary of the In
terior as an equitable division between one college for white students and one
institution for colored students, two-thirds of fund for the whites and onethird
for the colored; no colored student to be admitted into university and
no white student to school for colored pupils (Acts 1890-91, v. 1, p. 114).
Suitable buildings for temporary organization of school secured in Athens,
and school fully-officered, opened under favorable auspices (House Journal
1891. p. 15). Savannah was chosen for the permanent location of the college
and eighty-five acres were acquired by donation and purchase, thirty-five
being set aside for the campus and the remainder for the college farm; school
opened October 1891 with accommodations for forty students (House Journal
1892. p. 43). Act of Dec. 16, 1895 provided that the school should be known
as the Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youths (Acts 1895, pp.
94, 95), it having been previously known as the School for Colored Youths
(Senate Journal 1895, p. 275). Act of Aug. 18, 1919 appropriated $50,000 to
rebuild main building of college, previously destroyed by fire (Acts 1919,
p. 1421). Board oj trustees consists of five members appointed by the governor
for five-year terms (Acts 1924, p. 120), the state superintendent of schools,
ex-officio (Acts 1919, p. 288), and three members from the university board
appointed by the chairman of said board for two-year terms (Acts 1910, p. 74).
See also the following Acts: 1904, p. 735; 1905, p. 1251; 1916, p. 1023; 1924,
p. 820; and the general appropriation acts. Value of land and buildings as
estimated by state auditor, 1931: $450,000.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: Act of Oct. 21,1891 provided for the establishment
of a State Normal School for the education and training of white male teachers

University of Georgia; students to sign an obligation to teach, within five
years after leaving school, such length of time in common schools of Georgia
as was spent in said school; tuition free to white males, residents of Georgia
(Acts 1890-91, v. 1, p. 126). Governor's message of July 8,1891 reported

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
GEORGIA,
Augusta
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: Act of Nov. 27, 1822 incorporated the Medica
Society of Augusta, Georgia (Dawson p. 193). Act of Dec. 20, 1828 pro
vided for the establishment, within the corporate limits of the city of Au
gusta, of a medical academy for the state of Georgia with power to confer
the degree of bachelor of medicine on candidates completing at least one
year's study in said institution; that graduates be allowed to practice medi
cine and surgery in this state in the same manner as they would had they
been examined and licensed by the board of physicians of the state of Geor
gia; and that the board of trustees be empowered to have and use property,
real and personal, to an amount not exceeding $100,000 (Dawson, p. 196).
Act of Dec. 19, 1829 changed name of institution to the Medical Institute of
395

the State of Georgia and provided for the conferring of the degree of doctor
of medicine on applicants attending two full courses of lectures in said insti
tute or one course in institute and one in some other respectable medical col
lege or university, in addition to the usual term of private instruction required
by other institutions of a like kind (Dawson, p. 197). Act of Dec. 20, 1833
appropriated $10,000 for procuring a suitable lot of land, erecting the neces
sary buildings, and securing a suitable library, apparatus and museum for the
benefit of the Medical Institute of Georgia; provided that fifty lots on the
town common of the city of Augusta be sold for the benefit of said institu
tion, provided the majority of the city council and the trustees of the institute
approve same, and changed the name of the institution to the Medical Col
lege of Georgia (Acts 1833, p. 130). Act of Dec. 12,1860 appropriated $10,000
to the Medical College of Georgia on condition that the college educate an
nually twenty young men, unable to pay their own expenses, selected by the
governor, two from each congressional district and four from the state at
large (Acts 1860, p. 66). (Note: college closed as'a teaching institute and
open as a hospital for three years, 1861-64; reopened for teaching on the
first Monday in November 1865. Trustees of the Medical College of Georgia
approached the trustees of the University of Georgia in 1872 with a resolu
tion, reading in part as follows: "-..Whereas there is reason to expect that the
board of trustees of the University of Georgia will, at an early day, proceed
to establish a medical department of the university; and whereas it is deemed
desirable and proper that this institution should be adopted as such medical
department, resolved, that we make an overture to said board of trustees at
their next meeting, with a view of effecting the incorporation with the uni
versity as its medical department.-."; the trustees of the University of Georgia
at a meeting held Aug. 5, 1872 recommended the proposed connection and the
first paragraph of the agreement between the two, recorded July 5, 1873,
read as follows: "The proposed union between the Medical College of Georgia
and the University of Georgia shall be accomplished as follows, ....The Medical
College of Georgia, shall hereafter be styled The Medical College of
Georgia, being the Medical Department of the University of Georgia."
Goodrich's History of the Medical Department of the University of
Georgia, pp. 201-203.) Act of Nov. 13, 1893 provided that whereas the
fifty lots provided for in the act approved Dec. 20, 1833 were not set aside,
but that a portion of the academy square, one hundred and forty feet on
Telfair street by one hundred and forty feet on Walker street, was granted
instead for the use of the Medical College of Georgia, that therefore the trus
tees of the Academy of Richmond County be authorized to convey to said
medical college additional frontage of sixty-eight feet on Walker street (Acts
1893, p. 64). Act of Aug. 1, 1911 authorized the trustees of the University
of Georgia to accept a conveyance from the officers of the Medical College
of Georgia of title to all property, rights and franchises of the Medical College
of Georgia and hold the same for the benefit of the said Medical College of
Georgia as the Medical Department of the University of Georgia, and that
the chancellor of the University of Georgia be given supervision over the said
Medical College of Georgia (Acts 1911, p. 154). The budget and investigat
ing committee reported to the general assembly June 25, 1919 that the city
of Augusta supplemented the appropriation to the State Medical College so
396

that it was practically doubled, and also that the college had a ninety-nine
year lease instead of fee simple title to the property (House Journal 1919,
p. 485). Governor's message of July 2, 1929 to the general assembly reported
an annual rental of $5000 paid for the property leased for ninety-nine years,
fifteen years, of which had been consumed (House Journal 1929, p. 215).
Board of directors consists of three members from Richmond county and three
from the state outside of Richmond county appointed by the governor and

p. 211). Act of Feb. 28, 1877 provided for the more efficient organization
of a normal department in said college; for free admission of males and fe
males desiring to become teachers; conferred power upon board of trustees

to continue not longer than three months (Acts 1877, p. 117). U. S. Mint
building donated for said college (by act of congress of Apr. 20, 1871 the sec
retary of the treasury was authorized to convey to the trustees of the North
Georgia Agricultural College the building known as the U. S. Mint at Dah
lonega and the ten acres conn'ected therewith on condition that the building
be used exclusively for educational purposes-12 Stat. L. p. 503), and later
known as the North Georgia Agricultural College, was destroyed by fire
Dec. 20,1878; $10,000 appropriated to replace building by act of Sep. 15, 1881
(Acts 1880-81, p. 18). Name of institution changed to North Georgia Col
lege April 1930 by authority of the superior court of Lumpkin county. Board

CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS' HOME,
Atlanta
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: A home for destitute and infirm Confederate sol
diers was erected near Atlanta in 1889 by voluntary contributions of the
people and remained unoccupied for twelve years (House Journal 1901,
p. 29); in 1890 a bill (#272) was introduced in the general assembly by Rep
resentative Cutts of Sumter county offering the building and one hundred
and nineteen and one-fourth acres of land, secured at a cost of about $45,000,
to the state upon the sole condition of maintenance, and failed to pass (House
Journal 1890, pp. 244, etc.); again in 1900 the same property was tendered
the state upon the same condition, i. e., maintenance for twenty years or
such period as the number of inmates might justify or require (later to be
disposed of as the general assembly may deem best) and was accepted, the
bill being signed by the governor Dec. 19, 1900; this bill provided for an
appropriation of $15,000 for furnishings and maintenance when forty appli
cants had been accepted, vested control of the institution in a board of trus
tees, who elect the superintendent, and specified that ex-Confederate sol
diers, honorably discharged, residents of the state for five years and unable
to maintain themselves, may be admitted and shall be furnished with food,
lodging, clothing, medicine and medical attention and decent burial, but said
inmates may not draw a pension (Acts 1900, p. 86). Home was opened
June 3, 1901 and burned Sep. 30, 1901; a temporary home was rented on
Marietta street and the insurance on building and furniture, $21,500, supple
mented by contributions from the public, rebuilt the house without cost to
the state, the new structure being accepted by the building committee Aug.
26, 1902 and formally opened Sep. 24, 1902 (House Journal 1901, p. 29;
Acts 1901, p. 14; Minutes, Board of Trustees, pp. 52, 92). Act of Aug. 17,
1908 authorized the trustees to sell a narrow strip of land separated from the
remainder of the property by the extension of Confederate avenue and to use
the proceeds in the maintenance or improvement of the Home (Acts 1908,
p. 103). Act of Aug. 19, 1919 provided for an annual appropriation of $5,000
to furnish $1 weekly for each Confederate soldier, an inmate of the Home
(Acts 1919, p. 38). Act of Aug. 16, 1920 provides for maintenance by the
state of the Confederate Soldiers' Home for ten years from June 3, 1921 or
such period as the number of inmates or applicants may justify, and that
412

ex-Confederate soldiers, honorably discharged, resident of Georgia one year,
may be admitted (Acts 1920, p. 123). Board of trustees consists of one mem
ber from each congressional district appointed by the governor for five-year
terms and the state president of the U. D. C., the president of each Atlanta
chapter of the U. D. C., two members of the Georgia Division of the U. D. C.
selected from the state at large, and the chairman of the soldiers' home com
mittee of the Georgia Division, U. D. C., ex-officio (Acts 1922, p. 79). See

GEORGIA ACADEMY FOR THE BLIND,
Macon
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: Act of Dec. 25, 1845 provided for the education
of the indigent deaf, dumb and blind, ten to forty years of age, at the Cedar
Valley Academy in Paulding county, or some other academy approved by
the governor as able to provide the same kind of education that could then
be acquired at the American Asylum at Hartford, Conn., and on terms e-
qually economical as those at the said American Asylum (Acts 1845, p. 25).
The governor's message to the general assembly, Nov. 2, 1847, reported that
the education of the indigent deaf, dumb and blind at the Hearn Manuel
Labor School in this state (Floyd county) had been successful (House Journal
1847, p. 27). The report of a joint committee to the general assembly, Oct.
25, 1901, contained the following: "The Georgia Academy for the Blind
had its origin in 'a private manner. A number of citizens of Macon met on
Apr. 15, 1851 and organized themselves into a body for the purpose of edu
cating the blind. They subscribed a fund of $802 to support the institution—."
(House Journal 1901, p. 86). Act of Jan. 19, 1852 provided for the incorpora
tion of the Georgia Academy for the Blind; trustees of said academy em
powered to receive all gifts, grants, etc., which then belonged to said academy
br might thereafter be made to it, to establish rates of tuition, etc.; indigent
blind, twelve to thirty years, maintained and educated gratuitously (Acts
1851/52, p. 4). Act of Dec. 21, 1853 authorized the superintendent of the
414

W. & A. Railroad to pass free of charge lunatics and idiots and their con
ductors on their way to and from the Lunatic Asylum and the deaf, dumb
and bund pupils when going to and returning from their schools (Acts 1853/
54, p. 97). Act of Feb. 18, 1854 appropriated $10,000 for the erection in
Macon of a suitable building for the Blind Academy (Acts 1853/54, p. 14).
Act of Mch. 1, 1856 appropriated $20,000 for the erection of buildings at the
Institute for the Bund (Acts 1855/56, p. 10). Act of Dec. 18, 1857 appro
priated $35,000 additional towards erection of said buildings (Acts 1857,
p. 11). Resolution of Nov. 28, 1862 required all tax payers, in giving annual
returns, to report number, age and sex of all blind, deaf and dumb children
in family (Acts 1862, p. 106). Act of Sep. 13, 1881 appropriated $10,000
for organizing under the direction and management of the trustees, a de
partment for the accommodation of the colored youths of this state (Acts
1880-81, p. 16). Act of Sep. 26, 1883 provided that all indigent blind per
sons, seven to twenty-five years, residents of the state two years, should be
selected from the different counties and supported and educated gratui
tously to the extent the funds would permit (Acts 1882-83, p. 61). Act of
Sep. 28, 1883 appropriated $500 for necessary expenses of pupils selected by
the trustees for surgical or medical treatment for blindness (Acts 1882-83,
p. 33; note: patients treated without charge by Dr. A. W. Calhoun of At
lanta, House Journal 1884, p. 38). Act of Aug. 13, 1904 authorized the
trustees to sell the lot and buildings between Orange and College streets in
Macon occupied by the Georgia Academy for the Bund for not less than
$50,000 and to purchase near the city of Macon not less than twenty acres
of land and erect thereon all necessary buildings for said institution, same
to be not more than two stories in height and of the most modern design for
the accommodation, protection and education of blind children; also to suspend
the operations of said academy for one scholastic year (Acts 1904, p. 89). Act
of Aug. 19, 1905 set forth that the trustees having sold the Academy for the
Blind for $50,000 and spent $12,000 of said sum for twenty acres of land
near city of Macon on which to erect new buildings, that having suspended
the operation of the academy for the blind white children from August 1904
to September 1906, there remained of the appropriation for 1905, after allow
ing maintenance for the academy for the bund colored children, approxi
mately $9,000; therefore authorized the trustees to add said $9,000, together

GEORGIA COASTAL PLAIN EXPERIMENT STATION,
Tifton
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: A resolution of Dec. 16,1901 provided that whereas
the establishment of an agricultural experiment station in the southern por
tion of the state was being very generally considered, the state of Georgia
be authorized to receive, hold and utilize all property, real and personal, that
might be bequeathed the state for the encouragement, establishment and
maintenance of said agricultural experiment station (Acts 1901, p. 755).
Act of Aug. 19, 1918 provided for the establishment of the Georgia Coastal
Plain Experiment Station for the purpose of making scientific investigation
and experiment respecting agricultural science and in particular as same is
affected by the soil and climatic conditions in said coastal plain region; board
of trustees to accept donations for inducing the establishment of the station
at a given point in said region (Acts 1918, p. 158). The offer of two hundred

GEORGIA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF,
Cave Spring
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: Resolution of Dec. 21, 1833 provided that the
memorial of John J. Flournoy, praying the establishment of a school for the
education of the deaf and dumb, be referred to the governor for the purpose
of obtaining a full investigation of the subject (Acts 1833, p. 363). Resolu
tion of Dec. 20, 1834 set forth that the proportion of deaf and dumb to the
population as far as ascertained in Europe and America was about one person
to every two thousand; that by the 1830 census Georgia had one hundred
and forty-five deaf and dumb (fifty under age fourteen, fifty-one between
fourteen, and twenty-five, and forty-four over age twenty-five); that as
suming twenty-five as the probable number needing the aid of government
And $150 as annual expense of each the ratio was not large enough to justify
the expense of a separate state institution; that the sum of $3000 be appro
priated for the education of indigent deaf and dumb, twelve to twenty years,
in such manner as general assembly may deem best; that our senators and
418

epresentatives in congress make every effort to secure for each state a town*
ship of the public land for creating a fund, the interest of which should be ap
propriated to the education of indigent deaf and dumb; that this state will
appropriate $10,000 as soon as two or more of her neighboring states will
co-operate with her for the purpose of endowing a southern institution for
the education of deaf and dumb to be located at such place and organized in
such manner as may be determined (Acts 1834, p. 281). Act of Dec. 20,
1834 appropriated $3000 for the education of the deaf and dumb (Acts 1834.
p. 25). Resolution of Dec. 20, 1834 provided for the appointment by the
governor of a commissioner, authorized to draw for the fund appropriated
for the indigent deaf and dumb; to pass on applications; to keep full records
of beneficiaries, expenditures, etc.; to make necessary arrangements for con
veying said indigent deaf and dumb to the American Asylum at Hartford,
Conn., and for their expenses at said institution (Acts 1834, p. 307). Resolution
of Dec. 22, 1835 reported that the Rev. Elijah Sinclair had been appointed
commissioner, that he had traveled in twenty-five counties in the state in search
of pupils and that he had sent six boys to the American Asylum; appropriated
$4450 for the education, support and clothing of twenty-six indigent deaf
mutes in 1836 and provided for annual appropriation of said amount for said
purposes; provided also that commission should have discretion to select
under certain circumstances deaf mutes under twelve years of age (Acts 1835,
p. 330). (Note: appropriation bill of 1835 did not include the $4450 item
for the deaf and dumb, probably because more than $2000 of previous appro*
priation remained unspent, but provided $750 for the services of the commissioner.)
Resolution of Dec. 28, 1836 set forth that the benevolent designs
of the state for the relief of indigent deaf and dumb had not been fully realized,
perhaps mainly to a great aversion of parents to submit to the separation, and
that out of sixteen fit subjects only three could be induced to go to the Ameri'
can Asylum (Acts 1836, p. 1 of resolutions). Act of Dec. 29,1838 provided for
the appointment of a commissioner, who should hold office during the pleasure
of the governor, to receive applications of indigent deaf and dumb, ten to
forty years of age and citizens of the state, and to make necessary arrangements
for conveying such beneficiaries to the American Asylum at Hartford, Conn.,
to remain not longer than four years; appropriated $4500 annually for support
of said deaf and dumb as provided by said act (Acts 1838, p. 92). Reso»-
lution of Dec, 25,1843 set forth that the trustees of the Cedar Valley Academy1
of Paulding county had reported to the governor a successful experiment
in the teaching of the deaf and dumb in said academy for two years previous,
that good policy required the teaching of this portion of the population
within the state, provided it could be done as beneficially as elsewhere and
requested the governor to enquire into the propriety of having the indigent
deaf and dumb educated at Cedar Valley Academy or elsewhere in the state
(Acts 1843, p. 198). Act of Dec. 25, 1845 repealed laws relating to the.
American Asylum at Hartford, Conn., provided the same kind of educationcould
be acquired at the Cedar Valley Academy or some other academy in
the state approved by the governor, and authorized the return of the Georgiabeneficiaries
from the said American Asylum (Acts 1845, p. 25). Governor's'
message of Nov. 2, 1847 reported that the education of the deaf and dumb-
419

and the blind at the Hearn Manual Labor School in this state (Floyd county)
had been successful; that the beneficiaries who were at Hartford were re
moved to the school early in 1846 and that their number had increased to
fourteen (House Journal 1847, p. 8). Act of Dec. 16, 1847 provided for the
establishment of the Georgia Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb; for a board of
five commissioners (the instructor of the deaf and dumb beneficiaries and
four members appointed by the governor for one-year terms, with the majority
residents of the county in which the asylum is located), who should purchase
forty acres more or less and have erected the requisite buildings, said asylum
to be not more than five miles distant from the place at which the deaf and
dumb were then instructed, provided that not more than one-half of the ap
propriation of 1848 plus the unexpended appropriation of 1847 be spent for
land and the erection and furnishings of buildings; beneficiaries to be between
ten and thirty years of age and pupilage to continue not more than four years;
office of commissioner of deaf and dumb abolished (Acts 1847, p. 94). Act
of Dec. 21, 1853 authorized the superintendent of the W. & A. Railroad to
pass free of charge lunatics and idiots and their conductors on their way to
and from the Lunatic Asylum and the deaf, dumb and blind pupils when
going to and returning from their schools (Acts 1853/54, p. 97). Act of Feb.
17, 1854 provided that all deaf and dumb persons, seven to twenty-four years
of age, should be entitled to the benefits of the asylum and the term of pupil
age should be extended to six years (Acts 1853/54, p. 30). Act of Dec. 14,
1858 changed name of the institution to the Institution for the Education
of the Deaf and Dumb, etc. (Acts 1858, p. 47). Resolution of Nov. 28, 1862
required all tax payers in giving annual returns to state number, age and
sex of all blind, deaf and dumb children in family (Acts 1862, p. 106). Re
port of legislative committee, Dec. 2, 1862, shows school work in institution
discontinued and live-stock, wagons, blankets, etc., sold off (House Journal
1862, p. 222). Act of Dec. 15, 1862 repealed annual appropriation (Acts
1862, p. 18). Message of Governor Jenkins, Nov. 1, 1866, reported that he
had not caused the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb to be reopened, since
prompt pecuniary aid would have been required (House Journal 1866, p.
23). Act of Dec. 13,1866 appropriated $8000 for support and education of the
deaf and dumb and $2500 for repairs of the asylum buildings (Acts 1866, p. 6).
Act of Oct. 9, 1868 provided that all deaf and dumb children should be edu
cated free of charge; that clothing should be furnished pupils by the institu
tion upon certification of the ordinary that parents or guardians were unable
to supply same; that shoes should be furnished all without distinction; that
the board of commissioners might select some educated young men of state
desiring to learn the sign language, on condition that they obligate them
selves to teach in institution as many years as the board might agree to at
the time of entrance; etc. (Acts 1868 Ex., p. 12). Act of Feb. 25, 1876
provided that all deaf and dumb persons in state, ten to twenty-seven, in a
condition metally and physically to receive instruction be entitled to all the
benefits of said instruction (Acts 1876, p. 117). Act of Feb. 23, 1876 appro
priated $2000 for the purchase of suitable property for the accommodation
of the colored deaf and dumb mutes of the state, under the same rules that
governed the white department; property to be located at Cave Spring and
420

cost not to exceed appropriation (Acts 1876, p. 117). Act of Feb. 24, 1877
authorized admittance of pupils between eight and twenty-seven years and
extended the term of pupilage to seven years (Acts 1877, p. 31). Act of
Aug. 9, 1881 provided for the admittance of day pupils (Acts 1880-81, p. 96).
Act of Dec. 17, 1892 changed name of institution to Georgia School for Deaf
(Acts 1892, p. 83). Act of Dec. 21, 1893 appropriated $5500 for suitable
buildings for instruction of pupils in mechanical and industrial trades (Acts
1893, p. 9). Act of Dec. 24, 18% fixed ages of pupils from seven to twentyfive
years, none to remain longer than twelve terms; shoes from shop fur
nished all pupils free of cost and clothing and railroad fare furnished upon
certificate of ordinary that parents or guardians were unable to supply same;
pupils having no homes to be provided for during vacation by the boards of
commissioners of their counties or other proper authority (Acts 1896, p. 83).
Act of Dec. 19, 1900 provided for the appointment of an ear, eye and throat
specialist (Acts 1900, p. 504). Board of trustee* consists of seven member*
appointed by the governor for indefinite terms (Acts 1877, p. 32) and the
state superintendent of schools, ex-officio (Acts 1919, p. 288). See also the
following Acts: 1836, p. 21 of resolutions; 1849/50, p. 18; 1851/52, p. 80; 1853/

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: Act of Dec. 26, 1837 authorized the governor to
appoint two fit and proper persons to superintend the erection of a lunatic
asylum to be located in some central point in the state approved by the
governor, under the advice of medical gentlemen; one person (to be entitled to
reasonable extra compensation to be fixed by succeeding general assembly) to
go to Columbia, S. C., or elsewhere in U. S., where there is a lunatic asylum
to obtain the best information within reach; committee to exercise discretion in
regard to material, size, architecture and construction of edifice best adapted to
such an institution and also to the probable cost of building, contracting as early
as may be convenient with competent individual to commence work as soon as
practicable; legislature expressly and emphatically imposed on committee
the solemn enactment to visit the work once a week, etc., and to report to
the next general assembly; committee to give bond of $10,000; governor to
appoint some intelligent medical gentlemen and a suitable individual to
collect information as to proper internal regulations and police of such in
stitutions and report to following general assembly (Acts 1837, p. 34). Act
of Dec. 23, 1837 appropriated $20,000 for erection of lunatic asylum (Acts
1837, p. 27). Doctors Tomlinson Fort and B. A. White appointed to direct
construction of building, etc. (governor's message to general assembly Nov. 6,
1838; House Journal 1838, p. 113). A resolution of Dec. 31, 1838 set forth
the report of the commissioners of the Lunatic Asylum: that it had been
' 425

ascertained that the proportion of insane persons was one person per thousand
of the entire population, that medical men believed that suitable treatment
of such persons in an asylum frequently tended to restore the unfortunates
to their reason and that the previous general assembly planned an asylum for
the insane and appropriated $20,000 of which the committee had expended
$4,000 for a suitable site for the buildings; and provided that the commis
sioners be requested to have constructed upon the site selected the necessary
buildings, etc. (Acts 1838, p. 284). Site chosen for location of asylum con
tained sixty acres of land lying two miles due south from the state house
(report of Fort and White to general assembly; House Journal 1838, p. 432).
Act of Dec. 21, 1839 appropriated $5000 towards the erection of the lunatic
asylum (Acts 1839, p. 15). Act of Dec. 23,1840 appropriated $9,000 towards
the erection of the lunatic asylum (Acts 1840, p. 16). Act of Dec. 10, 1841
provided that the government of the state lunatic asylum at Midway be
vested in a board of three trustees appointed annually by the governor for
three-year terms; that as soon as the asylum should be ready for the recep
tion of lunatics, idiots, epileptics or insane persons, it should be made known
by the proclamation of the governor; superintendent to be a physician and
reside constantly at the asylum; trustees to remove from office and cause
to be prosecuted any person employed by them in said institution who shall
assault any inmate of said institution or use towards such any greater vio
lence than may be absolutely necessary for the patient's government, re
straint or care; trustees to receive and hold in trust any grant of lands, or
donation of money or other personal property for the maintenance of insane
persons or general use of the institution; asylum to be visited monthly by
one or more of the trustees, semi-annually by the majority, and annually
by the entire board; justices of the inferior court to make commitments, but
the nearest of kin of the lunatics or epileptics so investigated to be notified
ten days before the trial; lunatics or epileptics, county or city paupers, to
be committed for a sum not exceeding actual expenses of support; expenses
of all inmates admitted to be paid by the county of their residence unless
other sufficient security shall have been taken for their support; no lunatic
or epileptic not a resident of the state to be received until satisfactory arrange
ments shall have been made for their support and discharge or burial ex
penses; no lunatic or epileptic, who shall have recovered his senses, to be dis
charged without suitable clothing, to be furnished by the trustees at their discre
tion, together with such sum of money as they may think proper, not ex
ceeding $10; trustees to discharge upon application in writing, after cause of
• confinement shall have ceased, any lunatics or epileptics; $10,000 appro
priated for completing and furnishing building then nearly finished, and
defraying expenses of institution for one year (Acts 1841, p. 153). Committee
report to the general assembly of 1841: the number of white inhabitants of
the state of Georgia, who are idiots and insane, is ascertained to be near three
hundred; add to this epileptics and the number will probably be about five
hundred (House Journal 1841, p. 319). Act of Dec. 28, 1842 provided for
the commitment to the asylum of such of the convicts in the penitentiary
as were, or might become, lunatics; for the discontinuance of a resident
physician at the said asylum until, in their opinion, the same should be neces-
426

sary and to employ such medical aid as the number and condition of the in"
mates may demand, not to exceed $200 annually; etc. (Acts 1842, p. 22)*
Act of Dec. 28, 1843 provided that the pauper lunatics, epileptics or idiots,
residents of the state, be supported in the asylum at public expense and that
the governor be authorized to draw from the treasury a sum not exceeding
$50 per annum for the support of every such lunatic (Acts 1843, p. 9). Act
of Dec. 24, 1845 appropriated $10,000 to complete the building designed
for the accommodation of the male patients at the asylum, $1,500 to pay the
salary of the superintendent and resident physician, etc. (Acts 1845, p. 4),
Act of Feb. 22, 1850 appropriated $3000 to buy such land in the vicinity of
the asylum as may be deemed important and necessary to the interests of
the institution; $2500 for the building of an infirmary; $2000 for erecting
a separate building for the epileptics; etc. (Acts 1849/50, p. 17). Governor's
message of Nov. 8, 1853 stated that there was one class of lunatics for whom
no provision had been made-the slaves, and recommended a tax on all slave
owners to care for them (House Journal 1853/54, p. 21). Act of Feb. 18,
1854 appropriated $3000 for purchasing lands lying between the asylum and
the Oconee river and Camp creek; also $3000 for purchasing individual ser
vants for the asylum who had been long employed and found peculiarly
valuable to the institution; and authorized the governor to appoint five
persons from different ^ections of the state to determine upon the necessary
buildings to be erected for the additional accommodation of lunatics, and
upon their report to draw such sums and at such times as the progress of the
building should require, provided the estimate should not exceed $50,000
(Acts 1853/54, p. 81). Act of Dec. 21, 1853 authorized the superintendent
of the W. & A. Railroad to pass free of charge all lunatics and idiots and per
sons having them in charge on their way to and from the lunatic asylum (Acts
1853/54. p. 97). Section 1308 of the Code of 1861 provided that apartments
must be provided for insane slaves belonging to citizens of this state and
free negroes resident of the state; the masters or free negroes able, to pay
for their support; those unable, to be supported as other pauper patients;
the certificate of the justices of the inferior court of the county where the
owner of slave or free negro resided, of his condition, mentally and pecu
niarily, to be sufficient to grant patient admittance (Code adopted by the
general assembly of Georgia by an act approved Dec. 19, 1860 and made
effective Jan. 1, 1862; operation of Code suspended until Jan. 1, 1863-Acts
1860, p. 24, 1861, p. 28). General appropriation act of (Dec. 13) 1866 pro'
vided $10,000 to prepare suitable buildings for persons of color (Acts 1866,
p. 6). Resolution of Aug. 26, 1872 set forth that lunatics, idiots and epilep
tics were confined in the same asylum; that such confinement was, in the
opinion of medical men, deleterious to each class; that there were lunatics
sufficient to fill the asylum; and therefore that the governor be requested
to cause the trustees to select some appropriate place, sketch a design for a
commodious and suitable building for idiots, epileptics and inebriates, with
an estimate of the probable cost, etc., and report same to the next general
assembly (Acts 1872, p. 528). Act of Feb. 27, 1877 provided that the luna
tic asylum should be free to all lunatics, idiots, epileptics, and demented
inebriates, resident of the state (Acts 1877, p. 113). Act of Aug. 11, 1879
427

appropriated $25,000 and the walls and buildings of the old penitentiary for
enlarging the buildings for colored patients, fitting up rooms in the main
building, and making other repairs (Acts 1878-79, p. 17). Act of Aug. 15,
1879 permitted superintendent to refuse admittance to harmless idiots and
other harmless subjects not requiring treatment as long as there were recent
and dangerous cases unprovided for (Acts 1878-79, p. 424). Act of Sep. 8,
1881 appropriated $165,431 for building a hospital, recreation hall, two con
valescent wards, two buildings for colored male and female patients on lands
adjacent to the present asylum, etc. (Acts 1880-81, p. 15). Act of Dec. 8,
1897 provided for the admission of women physicians to written competitive
examinations with male physicians in filling any vacancy that might occur
in the corps of assistant physicians, as it was the purpose to have at least
one woman physician as assistant physician at the asylum (Acts 1897, p.
110). Act of Dec. 21, 1897 changed name of institution to the Georgia State
Sanitarium, effective Sep. 1, 1898 (Acts 1897, p. 109). Resolution of Dec. 19,
1899 approved the creation of the chair of dental surgery in the sanitarium
by the board of trustees (Acts 1899, p. 521). Act of Aug. 13, 1910 appro
priated $15,000 for the erection and equipment of buildings at the sanita
rium for the treatment of insane persons with tuberculosis (Acts 1910, p.
11). Act of Aug. 15, 1910 provided for a two-year course of training, in
structions and lectures and the granting of diplomas to white female nurses
while employed at the sanitarium (Acts 1910, p. 128). Act of Aug. 19,1916
provided for the training* of white male nurses while employed in the sanita
rium and established a three years' course of instruction, lectures and train
ing for both male and female nurses (Acts 1916, p. 111). Act of Aug. 20,
1918 revised law relative to commitments, specified the classes eligible and
those ineligible for admittance, and provided that lunatics, idiots, epileptics
and demented inebriates whose estates do not exceed $3000 or sufficient to
provide for them, should be admitted for such reasonable board and keep as
may be fixed by the trustees, etc. (Acts 1918, p. 162). Act of Aug. 20, 1929
changed name of institution to the Milledgeville State Hospital (Acts 1929,
p. 324). Board of trustees consists of nine members appointed by the gover
nor for six-year terms, three of whom are named on the first Monday of
December of each odd year (Acts 1916, p. 40); one member of the board shall
be a competent physician (Acts 1878-79, p. 170); and no two members shall
be from the same county (Acts 1916, p. 39). See also the following Acts:

CHAPTER X
COUNTY HISTORIANS
A resolution introduced in the house of representatives by Hon. J. H. Boykin of
Lincoln county, and approved by the governor Aug. 23, 1929, memorialized the
judges of the superior courts of the state to give in charge to the grand jury of each
county in their several circuits, at the next term of court therein, the urgent request
of the said general assembly that they secure some competent person in their county
to prepare before Georgia Day, or Feb. 12, 1933, as nearly a complete history of
the formation, development and progress of said county from its creation to date,
together with accounts of such persons, families and public events as have given
character and fame to the county, the state and the nation; and provided that said
histories be deposited on Georgia Day in 1933 in the state's department of archives
and history, there to be preserved for the information of future citizens of the state
and prospective biographers and historians; said action to be in commemoration
of the two hundredth anniversary of the founding of the colony of Georgia (Act*
1929, p. 1504).

STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
(Adopted at 1930 Convention)
We, the state democratic party in convention assembled, being mindful of
the disasters which are being visited upon the people on account of the depar
ture of both our national and state governments from the principles of demo
cratic government as enunciated by Jefferson and enforced by a long and il
lustrious line of democratic presidents and governors, and feeling that our
hope of relief lies in an immediate return to the old landmarks and traditional
policies of our beloved party, do declare and publish this platform of principles
and bespeak its translation into the laws and policies of our state and federal
governments, as the same may be applicable.
We depreciate the fact that on account of excessive appropriations in the
past, there exists a deficit in our state treasury. This deficit constitutes a
debt due and owing by the state to the old confederate veterans and to its
various institutions, and the mandates of justice require that it be paid as
speedily as possible. In meeting this obligation, the necessary funds must be
rendered available without increasing the burdens which have hitherto rested
so heavily upon those taxpayers who have borne more than their just share.
We, therefore, recommend that our law making authorities reorganize and
simplify our state government and readjust the tax burdens, as hereinafter
declared for, and use the savings and increased income derived from these
sources first for the retirement of this debt. We further recommend that
strict and rigid economy be practiced by all of the state departments and
institutions and especially until the present deficit can be liquidated, and that,
in making appropriations in the future, provision be made for the systematic
retirement of the public debt.
In view of the present depressed conditions of business, we appeal to the
people for their continued patience and loyal support in meeting the heavy
burdens which confront the incoming governor's administration.
BUDGET SYSTEM
In order that the state's financial affairs may be restored to a sound basis
and kept that way, we favor a budget system to be rigidly followed and which
shall not only keep all appropriations within the limits of the state's current
revenues, but which shall provide for the gradual but regular retirement of
the public debt. Any appropriation bill which exceeds the current revenues
740

of the state should be promptly vetoed, but in the event this is not done all
funds appropriated should be impartially prorated among those entitled to
receive them.
REORGANIZATION AND SIMPLIFICATION OF GOVERNMENT.
The administrative machinery of our state government as now consti
tuted consists of fifty boards, bureaus, departments and commissions. As a
result the responsibilities of the administrative departments of our state
government are so divided that it is impossible for the electorate to definitely
fix the responsibility for any default that may occur. Furthermore, there is
much duplication and overlapping of effort among the various departments
and the whole system is topheavy, cumbersome, inefficient and far too ex
pensive in proportion to the work done and good accomplished. We favor
a businesslike reorganization of all the departments of our state government
in order that these evils may be corrected and an efficient and economic administration
of the people's affairs may be had by responsible department
heads.
TAXATION
Under the present ad valorem system, the burdens of taxation rest too
heavily upon the owners of real estate and other visible property. We favor
an amendment to the state constitution authorizing the classification of
property for taxation. This would make it possible to so classify property
as to enable property owners to return all of their notes, bonds and similar
properties for taxation without the fear of a confiscatory rate being imposed,
as would be the case under the present system. This plan would more equi
tably adjust the tax burdens of our people.
COUNTY AND MUNICIPAL RETRENCHMENT
As only a smajl percentage of the total amount of the taxes derived by
our ad valorem system is used for state purposes and the chief burden is due
to county and municipal levies, we recommend that county and municipal
authorities join the state government in a policy of retrenchment and economy
to the end that substantial relief may result to the taxpayers.
EDUCATION
There is no higher or more important function of government than that of
educating the children. In recognition of this fact, we must continue our
policy of improving the schools of the poorer counties and rural sections of
our state, to the end that the boys and girls of these sections shall have equal
educational opportunities with those who live in the wealthier and more pop
ulous centers. Our goal should be a nine month term in all of the common
schools of the state and at the same time we should adequately maintain and
support our institutions of higher education.
SCHOOL BOOKS
In order that the excessive prices now being charged for school books may
be reduced, we favor the granting of legislative authority to the state to con-
741

tract with copyright owners, buy plates and contract for the printing of school
books for use in the public schools and to furnish them to the children of
school patrons at cost.
HIGHWAYS
The state highway department is now receiving ample revenue from special
taxes levied for the purpose to enable it to rapidly complete the state aid sys
tem of roads without a bond issue. We oppose the diversion of any of the
funds allocated to this department to any other purpose, and favor the ex
clusive use of the same in constructing and maintaining our state highway
system. We recommend that the policy of requiring the counties to par
ticipate in and make financial contribution toward the building of roads be
longing to the state be abandoned, and urge that our highway system be
completed as speedily as possible, consistent with economy, efficiency, and the
character of work to be done.
CORRUPTION IN GOVERNMENT
Corruption in government has manifested itself in recent years to an alarm*
ing extent. It has raised its ugly head in high officers of our national govern
ment, its slimy trail is too often found in our state governments, and its
menacing form has appeared in many municipal governments. Attempts
to purchase offices through the expenditures of enormous campaign funds
have shocked the moral sense of the nation, and graft, lobbying and corrup
tion of public officials have become a challenge to democratic government.
We favor the strengthening and strict enforcement of our criminal laws with
regard to corrupt practices of these kinds and recommend that prompt and
inexorable punishment be meted out to those who are proved guilty of vio
lating them. Honesty in government and a sacred regard for public trust
are essential to the perpetuity of our free institutions.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
We favor the faithful, impartial and vigilant enforcement of the laws of the
land and the protection of the individual rights of the citizen. The eighteenth
amendment and all laws enacted pursuant thereto should be strictly enforced.
PUBLIC UTILITIES
Public utility corporations are intended to serve the people and not to
dominate their governmental affairs. Effective and necessary laws, rules
and regulations should be formulated and enforced (a) to insure a reasonable
return on the investment in properties actually engaged in the public service,
(b) to enable them to efficiently meet the requirements and properly serve
the needs of the public, (c) to require from them a fair and just contribution
to the necessary expenses of government, and (d) to keep them subservient to
government and to the public weal.
742

LABOR
We recognize the right of labor to organize without coercion and inter
ference and to bargain collectively.
PARTY GREETINGS
We extend our greetings to the democratic party of the nation and pledge
our full cooperation toward our party's success in the approaching general
elections. The era of corruption during republican rule, followed by the
present financial depression bordering on panic, augurs success to the demo
cratic party and a return to Jeffersonian principles of government. T,he
excessive appropriations under the present republican administration, the
iniquities of the recent "robber" tariff bill, the unrelieved condition of our
agricultural people, and the enactment of special legislation for the benefit of
privileged classes have caused the masses to turn to our party for relief. We
shall not fail them, and the democratic party of Georgia calls upon the voters
to rise to their responsibilities and duties and help national democracy to re
deem our government from the control of those who are despoiling the many
for the benefit of the privileged few.
We felicitate the people of Georgia upon the elimination of the destructive
influences of factionalism in our state government, as expressed in our recent
primaries, and upon the prospect of harmony and progress in the adminis
tration of our state affairs.
We bespeak for our nominee for governor, Honorable Richard B. Russell,
Jr., the unselfish co-operation and support of all our citizens in his efforts to
solve the difficulties and complexities of our state problems and to bring our
state forward along the pathway of conservative and healthful progress.
