Morrison, from the committee on
salaries and fee." reported the bill of
Senator Justice to amend the Code,
iflcreadlng the Governor's salary from
13,000 to $4,000 anually, Scott and
Thomas dissenting. Thomas aald tht
money ought to be used for school
Justice said when Vance became gov
ernor, in 1877. the salary was $5,000,
and waa reduced when Jarvls went in.
He thought the recommendation ol
Governor Russell, " after four year'i
trial, ought to have - weight, and the
tate ougt to be able to pay $4,000 now
rf It could pay $5,000 la 1877. Scot!
thought It the wrong time to raise sal
aries, as the best talent could Sow be
obtained for $3,000. . Woodard said no
one knew better then a man who had
tried It what it corti to lire in thf
Governor's Mansion. The Democrat!
couia make no. mistake in adopting
the recommendation of a Republican
Governor, who was speaking from no
political motive here, but in a sense ol
fairness and Juttice, and giving the
Oovernor a salary he can lire on.- -

of crimes and sin . and misery, and

was another catalogue of - calamities
and I felt sad;and depressed. When

But how can AO old man h el d com
paring the present with '. the past?
Memory Is his capital stock and his
best recreation. If I was now in my
tees I would be better reconciled toJaRion woman and the rfneral re-
iar 1(8$. .The slave trade between
(he northern 'colonies and 'Africa, was
carried on with vigor until 177$. - In
that year it was resolved by the. con
tinental eongreee that no more slaves
thould be imported. In 1788 congress
extended the traffic to 1808, but-the
state of Georgia. refuted to ratify the
utenslon and in 1798 enacted the most'
prohibitory laws against ft
- The feeling against thei trafllf'wa.
etronger ffi the southern states than ,
in the northern. Some of the north-
ern states - continued to carry it on
long efter It had been prohibited. And -as
lata as 1841 Judge Story of Massa
chusetts, charged the grand Jury of
Boston that their people were "steeped j
tp to their eyebrows in the Infamcma
lave trade with Africa." But New ,
England could not make the service of -the
elaves profitable and so sold then ..
to Virginia and the Carolinas and tr
Eouth America as late as 1847. When
her stipe could no longer dodge the
pursuers from r England and.; France '
the, traffic cama to an end and then be-
ran the- howl -of. the . abolitionists -leainet
the south .for keeping them in
tlavery the very negroes whose an- . -
castors they'eold tO'Us.' r This is his
tory and It is also history that. after v
1776 .never did a slave ship land on a :
southern coast save once, and that was
the case of the "Wtadererr who Orled
to land a cargo of 800 near Savanrwh -
and', was seized and confiscated. ' i .
This is enough of slavery and those .
responsible for it The nineteentJi
century has lef t us some ood, soma ; .
signal blesslngi, and chief among them:
lathe greai) advance in the social eon.., -
things as they are to - modem man
ners and customs and to the sin and
crime of this fast and:' reckless age.
Our young people cannat realize that
there ever waa a. better time and a better-people.'
Therefore they' give the
morality of the past no thought and
the crime of the present no great con
cern. . They look upon the fearful cata
logue In the dally papers as our nor
mal condition and .many Join in it to
eep up with, the procession. V -.Some
apologists say that there is not
much difference ; between now and
then; but that it appears so because of
the telegraph and -ie - ten thousand
newspapers tbat spread the news. The
f-.ecords of the courts tell the truth and
they prove that according to the white
Ctpulation of our state, there are ten
urders to where 4ere was one fifty
ears ago. , 'mere are twenty-five di
forcd cases to one and in our cities
there are- forty timed as many burg

not leas than a hundred to one. Jef

cities was pestilential to good morals,-
lust think of it. In the litUe city of
Atlanta hers were over 10,000 arrests
during the past ysar- The nineteenth
century leaves us Ms- record as
legacy and our great concern, is what
are we going to do about it. Our le
mentation Is that the people have got

continuance. It is looted upon as the
normal condition of public' morals and
htrrcn affairs. Old men. old editors
and Old ofeachers cry aloud and spare
not, but the young "generation do not
