first four of these subjects. so far as may
be necessary, will be considered in
more appropriate place in this message,
and the fifth needs no further notice.
The constitution provides that the legis-
lature shall, when deemed practicable,
establish and provide for the maintenance
of college or branch university for the
instruction of the colored youths of the
state, but that no tax shall be levied and
no money appropriated out of the gen
eral revenue for this purpose Obviously
the only constitutional method of estab-
fishing such college or branch university
is to segregate and sell a portion Of the
unappropriated public land. There are
now 4,2J0,000 acres of such land. and
the appropriation should Immediately be
made, giving priority to this purpose, be-
fore it is too late, from the exhaustion
of the domain. There are now fifty-four
district judges and two criminal district
| judges, with salaries amounting to $40,
600 annually. Some of these judges are
Overworked and others are IDLE half the
year. the length of the terms varying
| from twenty-eight to forty weeks in the
year. The average term will not prob
| ably exceed thirty-two weeks out of
| ffty-twO. If each of the districts
should be given 100000 people, which
some of them now contain, the number
could be reduced to thirty Having re-
gard for other matters which materially
affect the question, such as the
extent of territory in the dis
tricts. the number of district Judges can
he safely reduced to forty. This legisla-
ton is demanded both by the necessity
of equalizing the labor of the judges and
cutting off unnecessary expenses to the
people, and no consideration of incum-
bents or imaginary geographical difficult
ties should be allowed to influence or de-
feat it. Associated with this subject is
! the fact that while under the law coun-

and care is worthy of her traditions and
her history. Many more disabled eX-Con-
federate salders have been provided for
than heretofore, and the number of orphan
children cared for exceeds that of any
previous time. The capacity of the sew
eral lunatic asylums has been exhausted
and the number of inmates accommodated
was greater than any preceding term.
The penal institutions are also in Il most
satisfactory condition. The number of
persons confined in the house of correc-
ton and reformatory was reduced one
half the past year and would seem to in
dictate Il marked decrease in crimes COM
mitted by persons under 1G years of ago
and punishable by imprisonment there.
There was net increase of 296 convicts
in the pcnitentiaries for the two years.
the number on hand being 4421. This.
with a decided increase in the number of
indictments and convictions for felonies,
indicates increase in crimes of that grade.
Notwithstanding this increase in prison
population, the reduction of convict wages
due to monetary depression and the heavy
loss of cane by the extreme cold weather
i'll 1893, the penitentiaries under the pres
ent splendid management have been more
than self-sustaining. The appropriation
from the general revenue for their sup
port was not used the total receipts
S., 600, the cost per capita for maintain
ing the forces decreased, and on Octo-
Der 81. 1896, there was a cash balance
on hand of S9j301 81. AS the present
financial agent received S64, 1929 from
his predecessor this shows clear profit
exceeding 100000 for the two years,
despite the adverse conditions mentioned.
How these great institutions of the state
have been managed the past two years
may be seen from the following COMPARE
son of expenditures with the preceding
two years:
Total expenditures for years 1893 and
1894, 81, 400, 47212
Total expenditures for years 1879 and
1896 S1,399, 44179.
