u.o.v~s.· - BIBLIOTEEK •197500732801220000019• ••• PREFACE This guide is intended as a bibliographic record of the official publications of the governments of the late Orange Free State Re- public, 1854 - 1900 and the late Orange River Colony, 1900 - 1910. 1. Scope All published documents, housed in the Free State Archives, have been recorded. No manuscript material has been considered for inclusion, neither has it been referred to during compilation. Government gazettes have, by virtue of their very nature, been ex- cluded, while Inter-Colonial publications pertaining to the Orange Free State have been included. Laws which exist as independent publications have been included in the body of the text as well as in chronological sequence in Appendix A. 2. Missing Publications Cllring compilation it became apparent that several publications are missing from the collection in the Free State Archives. Attempts were made to locate these in the collections of the Library of Parliament, Ebuth African Library, State Library, Johannesburg Public Library, British Museum and the Agricultural Library of the Depart- ment of National Education. A few publications were traced in thi~ way and their location has been indicated in part II, but a large number unfortunately remained untraced, and the gaps caused by them are evident. 3. Arrangement The guide has been divided into four main parts and an appendix: part I a brief historical introduction. part II chronological arrangement of the publications. part III subject arrangement of the publications. part IV minutes of the governing bodies. appendix A statute law. ii part I is an introduction aimed at identifying the Orange Free State geographically and politically. It is believed that an understanding of the nature of a government results in a better understanding of the publications for which it was responsible. After a brief reflection on the nature of government publications in general, attention is directed, firstly, at the machinery of the governments of the Orange Free State between 1854 and 1910, and secondly, at the resulting publications. The emphasis falls on the latter half where a thorough, but brief breakdown of the publications have been attempted. This has been done in the hope that the theoretical background will give more meaning and be of greater use to the researcher when consulting the publications listed in parts II, III and IV. Part II is the body of the guide. It is arranged, firstly, chrono- logically by date, secondly, alphabetically by title. An arbitary letter has been assigned to each entry and has been placed between the year and first word of the title, e.g. 1910 A Bill to make better provision .•• The purpose of this letter is to aid access to part II from part III and bears no reference to the actual publication. Part III may be regarded as a broad subject index to part II. It lists the documents recorded in part II alphabetically under broad subject headings and then chronologically under each subject heading. The same arbitary letters used in part II are repeated in part III and refer to the full entry in the former part, e.g.: EDJCATION, Higher 1910 A Bill to make better provision Part IV consists exclusively of the minutes of the Volksraad, Legis- lative Council, Legislative Assembly and the debates of the latter, in strict chronological order. The annexures to the House of Assembly, 1908 - 1910 are also included, and are arranged alphabetically by title under the particular year. - iii - Appendix A enumerates all the ordinances, proclamations and statutes which had force of law between 1854 and 1910. They are arranged chronologically by number and year followed by the official short title. 4. Style of Entries in Parts II, III and IV Part II: The component parts of the content of the entries are in accordance with the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 1967 (British Text). Headings have been omitted, as all entries prior to 1900 and between 1900 and 1910 have a common heading, viz. the heading for the government of the time. The government department responsible for the publication is clear from the content of the entry. The imprint has also been omitted as so few documents bear one. The entry simply consists of the title-paragraph recording the full title in English and/or Dutch and the sub-title. The collation includes the number of pages and the illustrative matter where this is applicable. The series statement is included for documents that are part of a series. Each entry concludes with a brief annotation which is designed to give some idea of the content of the publication. Punctuation and arrangement of the entry elements are according to the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBDJ and may be summarized as follows: i) [ J used to indicate interpolation. ii) ••• used to indicate omissions. iii) • -- used to separate each area of entry. iv) ( ) used for various purposes throughout the guide. v) = separates the title and parallel title. vi) separates sub-title from proper title. vii) / introduces statements of authorship. viii) (Series) enclosed in parentheses. Outline of the punctuation used in part II Title = parallel title: other titles/author. -- pagination: illustrations. iv (Series) Annotation e.g. 1904 H Fruit growing = Het kweken van vruchten/ by G. Shaw Scott. --- 32p.: ill. (Farmers Bulletin no VI). Discusses the soil, drainage, water, irrigation, fencing and wind brakes for various types of fruit suitable for cultivation in the D.F.S. Part III: Cbcuments in this part are simply brieflisted chrono- logically under alphabetically arranged subject headings. Subject headings have been formulated according to the Sears List of Subject Headings, 9th ed., with modifications to accommodate the type of material. Part IV: The minutes and debates have been entered similar to the documents in part II and the principles of the Anglo-American Cata- loguing Rules, 1967 and the 1§§.Q have been applied as far as possible. 5. Bibliography and references: Part I This bibliography has been compiled according to the principles of the 1§§.Q and the style followed in the making of references, is that used in the Encyclopaedia of Library and Information Science. 6. Filing Filing throughout the guide has been done in accordance with the A.L.A. Rules for Filing Catalog Cards, 2nd abridged edition. 7. Acknowledgements My sincere thanks are due to Prof. dr. P.G.J. Dverduin and Prof. R. Musiker who guided, advised and encouraged me through the whole project.

Many ancient writings have been handed down to us on clay tablets, papyrus, parchment and stone. The greatest bulk of these prove to be neither poetry, drama, fiction nor sacred works, but are the most indispensable instruments required for the smooth admini- stration and development of a civilization - government documents. Laws, proclamations, reports, economic statements, agreements and other records which link a people to their government were as well-known in 2000 B.C. as they are today. The governments of the Orange Free State realized the importance of keeping a record of all their transactions from the earliest times. These have come down to us in manuscript and published form, and have since become the living record of a people's efforts to govern themselves to the mutual benefit of all the inhabitants. 1.1. What are government publications? Government publications have been defined variously as: "any publication that is printed at government expense or published by authority of a governmental body" (20, p.317); "a publication issued at public expense by authority of the government or any other government office or institution -- national, state or local -- for distribution to government officials or to the public" (15, p .140); "material published at the expense of and by the authority of any form of government" (39, p.102); "government documents are the living records of the efforts of a people to govern themselves". (37, p.l) In the context of the present work a government publi- cation is regarded as any publication, pertaining to the Orange Free State, printed for distribution at government expense by the authority of the governments of the terri- tory. 1.2. The purpose of Government Publications. Categorically government publications are there to inform the public and to answer questions which are often not - 6 answered elsewhere. They "grow out of the peculiar function of the govern- mental agencies which issue them and are a public record of the operation and activities of government. They provide a means of keeping the public informed, so that each citizen can understand and make use of the services the government provides and can carry out more intelli- gently his duties as a citizen." (15, p.141) 1.3. The Scope and Content of Government [bcuments. A government's range of publications grows as its in- volvement in the lives of its peoples deepens, so that it is virtually impossible to find a subject which has not been touched upon by some form of government document. Characteristically their content is as varied as the departments which issue them and they cover laws, rules, regulations, minutes and debates of meetings, speeches, annual reports, reports of commissions and select commit- tees, statistics, statements, treaties, etc. In short, they treat any subject of vital importance to a state. 1.4. Physical format of Official Publications. Government publications appear in any form, shape or size, ranging from loose-leaf, unbound or bound volumes to pamphlets, leaflets, newspapers and more recently they have become available on microformat. 1.5. Problems associated with Government Publications. Margaret Hutchins alluded to the problems associated with this group of publications when she observed: "··· nothing like 100 percent efficiency can be attained by any amount of reading about government publications unless what is read is' immediately illustrated and applied in the actual handling of them." (18, p.47) The problems most commonly encountered are outlined as follows: - 7 - 1.5.1. S:Jurce. A government is unrivalled in the amount it publishes annually. No commercial publisher can compete with the pace set by a government printer who has to conform to the requirements of his government. Cost is usually minimal, another facet which lays the commercial publisher low. 1.5.2. Organization. Government documents form a unique bibliographic class of publications. Their physical format forces special organization onto the library or institution handling them. As there is no formal method according to which they are organized, their organization varies from library to library. 1.5.3. Retrieval. This is the most serious problem which has to be faced as these documents have not been catalogued, indexed and listed to the same extent as non- governmental publications. This makes retrieval difficult and the method of retrieving them varied. However, the potential reader should acquaint himself with the guides that exist and should attempt to understand the publishing practices followed by the government at various stages and if needs be he should have a detailed know- ledge of the organs of the government itself. Once he has become aware of the existence of a particular government publication, he has to cope with gaining access to a copy. Governments do not have a centralized source from which these documents may be obtained. Many documents may be considered ephemeral and only a few copies may have been produced, but one such document may be of vital interest to a researcher. Other documents may be confidential and not available to researchers. - 8 - Trade and national bibliographies rarely list all the government documents available, and periodical indexes are highly selective, while oth~ reference sources draw heavily upon them without citing them. 1.6. Their Research Value. This. point will be touched upon in the following pages from time to time, with particular reference to the Free State official publications. The value of government publications for research is all too often overlooked, often caused by the difficulties in tracing and locating them. They are authoritative source material providing reliable and unbiased information on a wide range of subjects, representing a wide range of interest. Gates states: "Government publications provide primary source material in many areas, especially in statistics; in government operation; and in certain areas of the sciences e.g. results of scientific and medical research or patent and copyright applications. They are especially useful in history, the social sciences, education, personnel management, and the physical and biological sciences. Pre- pared by specialists who are in reality writing about their particular activities, they can be considered authoritative in the subjects they cover. They are up to date in that they present the latest information available to the agency which issues them. Many government publications provide bibliographies which are useful for further study and research. They are usually concise and readable." (15, p. 146) 1.7. Orange Free State Official Publications. The Orange Free State government publications dating from 1854 to 1910 are no exception to the characteristics enumerated above. These characteristics help to explain the nature of the government documents included in the present work. - 9 In order to understand the inner workings of the viscera of a government which has been revealed in its documents, it is necessary to take a closer look at the government itself. The following section will attempt to give a brief explanation of the governments of the Orange Free State, before going on to discuss their publications. 2. THE OOVEANMENTS OF THE ORANGE FREE STATE: 1854-1910. The history of the small tract of land, on the vast African Continent, between the Orange and Vaal Rivers forms an integral part of 8Juth African history. Pioneers traversed this area at an early stage, but owed their allegiance to the British authorities at the Cape. Britain annexed this area in 1848 and it became known as the Orange River 8Jvereignty. In 1854, after the conclusion of the Bloemfontein Convention, it became the second, British recognised, Boer Republic in 8Juthern Africa, known as the Orange Free State Republic. This independence was lost after the Anglo-Boer War in 1902, when it once more became a colony of Great Britain, known as the Orange River Colony prior to being incorporated into the Union of 8Juth Africa in 1910. Today it is a province of the Republic of 8Juth Africa and comprises 11 percent of the total area of the latter republic. This preamble demonstrates that various forms of government existed in the territory between 1854 and 1910, viz. a republic, 1854- 1900; military government, 1900-1902; a crown colony, 1902-1907 and a responsible government, 1907-1910. 2.1. Orange Free State Republic: 1854-1900. The Orange Free State Republic which is often referred to as the "Golden Republic", the "MJdel Republic" and the "Little Republic", had a brief life extending over less than half a century, but the significance of these years is evident when compared with that of other states whose histories fill many pages in the annals of history. - 10 - 2.1.1. The Constitution. When British authority was withdrawn in February 1854, the European inhabitants were free to choose their own form of government. The form chosen was republican with a constitution modelled on that of the United States of America, the French constitution and their own experience of government organization and administration (38). This constitution provided a firm foundation on which to build a young state: "among other things religion and education - the two most vital elements in the life of a nation - were provided for; the rights of property, and the freedom of the subject were guaranteed; all persons were declared equal in the eye of the law, the liberty of the press was assured - provided the laws were respected - and trial by Jury in 'criminal cases' established." (10, p.69) The constitution was divided into sixty-one sec- tions and could only be changed by a three-quarter majority in three successive sessions of the Volks- raad. During its almost fifty years of existence it underwent relatively few changes. In 1866 it was revised in its entirety, and in 1879 and 1898 it was supplemented es.pecially to regulate citizen- ship and the franchise, but the fundamental prin- ciples were never amended. It provided for a State President, an Executive council and a legislative chamber called the Volksraad. 2.1.2. The Organs of Government and their powers and functions. 2.1.2.1. The Executive. The State President was at the head of the Executive. He was elected by burgher suffrage for a period of five - 11 - years after which he was eligible for re-election. His functions and duties were prescribed as follows: "The president could declare war and make peace, enter into treaties and appoint officers when the Volksraad was not in session, but all these acts required to be ratified by the Volksraad. He could propose laws and had a voice in debates, but had no vote, much less a veto. He had the oversight of all public departments and the control of everything in connection with the public service; but was responsible to _the Volksraad to which body there was an appeal against any of his acts. He was required to make a tour of inspection at least once a year, to examine all the offices, and give the inhabitants an opportunity to make known their desires." (43; v.7, p.444) The following six presidents were elected to office be- tween 1854 and 1900: Josias Philip Hoffman, 1854-1855 Jacobus Nicolaas Boshof, 1855-1859 Marthinus Wessel Pretorius, 1860-1863 Johannes Hendricus Brand, 1864-1888 Francis William Reitz, 1888-1896 Marthinus Theunis Steyn, 1896-1900. The State President was assisted and advised by an Executive Council which consisted of the landdrost of Bloemfontein, the government secretary and three un- official members chosen by the Volksraad. Constitu- tionally its powers were limited and in practice it was entirely subservient to the State President who was not obliged to heed its advice. The Executive Council also acted as a court of appeal until 1874. 2.1.2.2. The Volksraad. The highest legislative authority was vested in the Volksraad. It consisted of 52 members representing each major town and each field cornetcy in the state. These members were elected by their constituents for four years, - 12 - while half retired by rotation every two years when elections were held to fill the vacancies. This assembly met annually at Bloemfontein. Each annual session commenced on the first Mlnday in February. How- ever, extraordinary sessions were convened whenever the executive deemed it necessary. Twelve members formed a quorum. Persons qualified for election if they were 25 years of age, owned fixed property valued at £200, had lived in the state for at least twelve months and had not been found guilty of any criminal offence. The Volksraad as the major governing body in the state, could try the State President for any misdemeanour and could suspend him from office. In the event of his death, resignation, or dismissal they could appoint either an individual or a committee to act as president until an election could be held. 2.1.2.3. The Civil Service. The State President controlled the affairs of the civil service. As the government became more involved in state affairs, the civil service expanded, however, in 1854 the following persons were the first to hold portfolios: State President: J.P. Hoffman Government Secretary: J. Groenendaal Auditor-General, Registrar of Deeds and Orphan Master: W. Collins Landdrosts for: Bloemfontein: Hector Lowen Winburg: Juris Wessels Harrismith: P.M. Bester Caledon River: J.H. Ford Various landdrost clerks Church Ministers 25 Field Cornets Police force members 10 Itinerant teachers. - 13 - As state activities multiplied and matured the civil service included the following: Government Secretary, Treasurer-General, Administrator of Funds, Surveyor- General, State Attorney, Auditor-General, Postmaster- General, Registrar of Deeds, Orphan Master and Master of Insolvent Estates, Inspector of Public Diggings, Inspector of Public Works, Director of Telegraphs, Super- intendent of Education, Director of Railways and Collector of Customs. The publications of these departments will be returned to in a later section. It is stated: "in reviewing the history of the Orange Free State, it is remarkable how that little republic stood alone and fought its own battles. From its powerful neighbour, John Bull, it obtained but little sympathy and but scant justice ••• Nor from its Sister Republic had the little State ever enjoyed much help of a really dis- interested kind. In fact it was rather the other way about; and the Orange Free State itself went under, in its attempts loyally to stand by its agreements with that Republic." ( 9, p. 2-3) 2.2. Military Rule: 1900-1902. The Anglo-Boer War ended the peaceful existence of the republic. Hostilities commenced in October 1899. In March 1900, Bloemfontein fell to Lord Roberts and martial law was instituted in the territory on 14 March 1900. The area was formally annexed as a British Colony on 24 May 1900. Sir G.T. Prettyman was appointed military governor with John Emrys Evans as his financial adviser. Major-general Prettyman, assisted by several army officers, organized a central military government in Bloemfontein. Administrative duties were delegated to various departments: 2.2.1. Administration of the districts. The administration of the districts was placed in the hands of A.G. Trollope, a staff-captain of the - 14 - military governor. The whole region was divided into 13 districts, each represented by a district commissioner and an assistant. Assistant Military Governor. Lieutenant-colonel C.V.F. Townsend was appointed to this post. He supervised and co-ordinated the work of all the departments. 2.2.3. Auditor-general's Office. This office remained closed during this period. 2.2.4. Customs Office. Lord Roberts issued a proclamation on the 20 March 1900, whereby the customs office was re- organised. The chief customs officer of the old republic was re-appointed, assisted by 4 officials and 3 clerks. 2.2.5. Deeds Office. This office remained closed during this period. 2.2.6. Deputy Assistant Ad.jutant-general' s Department. This department, under Captain P. Holland Pryor, was responsible for the supervision of all local and municipal matters, customs, posts and tele- graphs and public works. It also issued all required passes and permits. 2.2.7. Educational matters. Captain A.G. Trollope who managed the districts also took care of educational matters between March and October 1900, when 8. Noaks became Director of Education. 2.2.s. Financial Adviser. The financial adviser took care of all financial - 15 - matters of the state, thus continuing the work of the Treasurer-general. Various people occu- pied this post between March and 14 August 1900 when A. Browne was finally appointed. 2.2.9. Orphan Chamber. It was re-opened and continued to function as before. 2.2.10. Postmaster-General. Mr. Falck, Postmaster-general of the old re- public was re-appointed. All the former laws and conventions remained in force. Postal services were resumed as far as possible and the Post Office Savings Bank re-opened on the 15 October, in Bloemfontein. 2.2.11. Provost Marshall. This department, under Burnett Hitchcock, had various duties: 2.2.11.1. attended to persons taking the oath of allegiance. 2.2.11.2. issued passes. 2.2.11.3. attended to claims against imperial troop~ 2.2.11.4. kept records of these claims. 2.2.11.5. guarded and transported prisoners of war. 2.2.11.6. kept registers of arms collected from burgers who had laid down their arms. 2.2.11.7. kept a record of all military court cases. 2.2.11.8. kept a register of prisoners and parole prisoners. 2.2.11.9. kept records of the citizens. - 16 - 2.2.11.10. from 1900 organised refugee camps under a camp-commandant. 2.2.11.11. enforced civil and military laws by means of a 53-member military police force, and 70 European and 75 Bantu con- stables. 2.2.12. Railway Department. The department operated from 19 March 1900 under Colonel Girouard. All previous laws and con- ventions remained in force unless they were con- tradictory to military procedure. 2.2.13. Secret Service. It came into being in March 1900, under Major W.A.J.R. O'Meara and was divided into a military division and a civil division. 2.2.14. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court did not re-open and all serious cases were tried in a military court under mili- tary law. 2.2.15. Surveyor-general's Office. This office was used by the British Army for its own purposes. 2.2.16. Telegraph Department. The telegraph service was used only for military purposes, and was placed under the supervision of Colonel Girouard, military director of railways. Letters patent providing for the government of the Orange River Colony, as it was then known, was read and proclaimed on 23 June 1902, thereby .. reinstating civil government . . 2.3. Crown Colony Government: 1902-1907. After the annexation, the territory was formally known as the Orange River Colony and a constitution was promulgated - 17 - on 23 June 1902, instituting Crown Colony Government with a Governor a lieutenant-governor, an executive council of officials and a nominated Legislative Council. 2.3.1. Organs of Government and their duties and powers. 2.3.1.1. Governor. On the 7 August 1901 a commission passed under the Royal Sign Manual and Signet appointed Lord Milner as governor of the Orange River Colony stating "we do hereby authorise, empower and command you to exercise and perform all and singular the powers and directions contained in certain letters patent • • • constituting the said Office of Governor and Commander-in-chief in and over Our Orange River Colony, or in any other Letters Patent adding to, amending, or substituted for the same, according to such Orders and Instructions as you may receive from Us." (32; v.l, p.203-4) 2.3.1.2. Lieutenant-Governor. The Letters Patent also provided for the office of a Lieutenant-Governor in the person of Sir Hamilton Goold- Adams. He was empowered to execute all duties belonging to his office and those delegated to him by the Crown from time to time. 2.3.1.3. Executive Council. The Executive Council had to consist of the Lieutenant- Governor, Colonial Secretary, Attorney-General, Colonial Treasurer and persons appointed from time to time by the Crown. Extraordinary members could also be appointed at the discretion of the Lieutenant-Governor. The Council met when summoned by the Lieutenant-Governor who presided over the meetings during which accurate minutes had to be kept and submitted to the Home Office twice a year. The Lieutenant-Governor, only, could submit questions to the Council for debate, and he was in no way bound by their 18 - advice. They, in turn, could minute adverse opinions and submit them to the Crown. 2.3.1.4. Legislative Council. At first this body consisted of the Lieutenant-Governor, Colonial Secretary, Attorney-General and Colonial Treasurer. Later it was enlarged to include the Collector of Customs, the &Jrveyor-General, and representatives for Harrismith, Winburg, Snithfield and Bloemfontein. In 1903 the Directors of Education and Agriculture, the Postmaster- General and Auditor-General as well as four unofficial members gained seats, bringing the total number of seats up to twenty. The Letters Patent stated that: "The persons who shall from time to time compose the said Legislative Council shall have full power and authority, subject always to any conditions, provisoes and limitations prescribed by any Instructions ••• and to make such provisions and regu- lations for the proceedings in such Courts, and for the administration of justice, as may be necessary for the peace, order and good government of the Colony." (32; v.l, p.185) The Lieutenant-Governor would preside at all meetings and three members formed a quorum. Questions for debate were submitted to the vote of the majority and the Lieutenant- Governor had an original and casting vote. Standing rules and orders had to be published and adhered to. The ordinances enacted by the Council were compiled and published annually. Minutes of the proceedings also had to be kept and sent to the Home Office twice a year. The Lieutenant-Governor was also instructed to keep a Blue-Book "to be annually filled up with certain returns relative to the revenue and expenditure defence, public works, legislation, civil establishments, pensions, population, schools, course of exchange, imports and exports, agricultural produce, - 19 - manufactures and other matters in the said Blue Book more particularly specified with reference to the State and condition of the Colony ••• " (32; v.l, p.202) 2.3.2. The Civil Service. According to the Civil Service Lists published between 1903 and 1907 this body consisted of the following principle offices: Colonial Secretary, Colonial Treasurer, Surveyor-General, Attorney- General, Auditor-General, Postmaster-General, Registrar of Deeds, Resident Magistrates, In- spector of Public Works, Director of Education, Collector of Customs, Director of Agriculture and Forests, Master of the High Court, Medical Officer of Health, Civil Commissioners, .Commis- sioner of Police, S:luth African Constabulary, Director of Railways for the Central S:luth African Railways, Land Settlement Board, Printing and Stationery Office, Library and a division for administering oaths and declarations. 2.4. Responsible Government: 1907-1910. The peoples of the old republic were accustomed to a democratic form of government, and soon organized them- selves into political parties agitating for full self- _government. When the Liberal Party came into power in Britain, the granting of responsible government to the Orange River Colony was a foregone conclusion. A tele- gram informing the Governor of the impending self-govern- ment was despatched on 17 December 1906. It stated: "His Majesty's Government have throughout been anxious that no unnecessary delay should take place in the accom- plishment of the declared purpose of His Majesty to confer Responsible Government upon the Orange River Colony; and they are now able to announce that the main bases and provisions of the Constitution as granted to the Transvaal shall equally apply in the case of the older - 20 - sister Colony, and they will therefore advise His Majesty to issue Letters Patent for the Orange River Colony following in its substantial features the Transvaal Letters Patent of the 6th instant. "Representation will be on voters basis, coupled with manhood suffrage and a residential qualification of six months." "The magisterial districts will be retained with their existing boundaries for electoral purposes, and there will be separate representation of towns." (32; v.2, p.37) At the opening of the tenth session of the Legislative Council on 15 July 1907, the Governor announced that the Letters Patent providing for the institution of Respon- sible Government had been signed by the King on 5 June 1907 and came into effect on 1 July 1907. 2.4.1. Organs of Government and their powers and duties. The Letters Patent dated 5 June 1907 provided for a Legislature consisting of a Legislative Council and a Legislative Assembly. 2.4.1.1. Legislative Council (Upper House). The Legislative Council consisted of eleven members nominated by the Governor. All members had to be at least 30 years of age, should have resided in the Colony for three years and be registered as a voter in an electoral division of the Colony. Four members formed a quorum. 2.4.1.2. Legislative Assembly (Lower House). This Assembly was composed of 38 members who had to be sleeted by the people. Any registered voter was eligible for election. The members elected a ~saker from their numbers and 10 members formed a quorum. The Constitution laid down that the Legislature had to convene at least once a year in Bloemfontein. The governor - 21 - could prorogue the Legislature from time to time and when a term of office ended after five years. Bills could be introduced by the Governor and each member had to take an oath of allegiance to the Legislature before taking his seat and being allowed to vote. All questions debated in both houses were determined by a majority of the votes of the members present and the President, tpeaker or presiding member had a casting vote. Standing rules and orders had to be drawn up from time to time. All minutes and proceedings in both houses had to be recorded in English, although debates could be conducted in either English or Dutch. The Legislature was empowered to pass laws necessary for the administration of the state. All laws had to be passed by both houses and printed in the "gazette" in both English and Dutch. 2.4.1.3. The Cabinet. The Letters Patent determined that within four months after their signing ''the Governor may designate such offices as he thinks fit, not being more than five in number, to be offices of Ministers. "Appointments to such offices shall be made by the Governor in Our Name, and such offices shall be held during Our pleasure. "The holders of such offices shall be styled Ministers, and a Minister shall not vacate his seat in the Legis- lative Council or Legislative Assembly by reason of his appointment to or retention of any such office. "Every Minister who is a Member of either house of the Legislature shall have the right to sit and speak in both the Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly, but shall vote only in the Council or Assembly of which he is a Member." (32; v.2, p.175-6) - 22 - The first cabinet was composed of five leaders of the Orangia Unie, namely Messrs Fischer (Prime Minister), Hertzog (Attorney-General and Minister of Education), Dr Ramsbottom (Treasurer), General de Wet (Minister of Agriculture) and C.H. Wessels (Minister of Public Works). The speaker of the House was Mr C.G. Marais. 2.4.2. Civil Service. The civil service was composed of ministerial departments, viz.: 2.4.2~1. Ministerial Department of the Prime Minister which in- cluded the offices of the governor and Prime Minister and the Audit Office. Ministerial Department of the Colonial Secretary inclu- ding the Medical Officer of Health, District Surgeons, Leper hospitals, Lunatic asylum, National hospital, Resi- dent magistrates and fPecial Justices of the Peace. 2.4.2.3. Ministerial Department of the Attorney-General including the High Court, Sheriff, Prisons, Master of the High Court, Registrar of Deeds, Public Education, Police, Justices of the Peace. Ministerial Department of the Colonial Treasurer including the Treasury, Posts and Telegraphs, Customs, Stationery and Printing, Civil Commissioners, Central Store, Land and Agricultural loan fund. 2.4.2.5. Ministerial Department of the Minister of Agriculture including the Veterinary and Forestry divisions, Agronomist and Experimental farms, Horticultural and Biological divisions and the Natal Border Guard. 2.4.2.6. Ministerial Department of the Commissioner of Public Works, Lands and Mines extending power over Public Works, - 23 - Roads, Bridges and Irrigation, Architectural office, and Survey and Mines Department. 3. PUBLICATIONS OF HE 00\/ERNMENTS AND HEIR CEPARTMENTS. 3.1. Preservation of the Public Record from the earliest times. The Orange Free State Republic possessed no government archives, although the Republican government realized its value for reference purposes and for preserving documents for posterity. Ten years after the Bloemfontein Con- vention, the first official move was made to organize an archive. On 9 March 1864 the Volksraad passed a resolution by which a commission, consisting of two members, namely, H.A.L. Hamelberg and J.A. 8Jiellenkamp, was appointed to supervise the arrangement of government documents in the. government secretary's office; and to report to the Volksraad annually on the work done. They were also authorised to purchase whatever they required to execute their task. On the 14 March 1865 the archive commission reported to the Volksraad: "door verschillende omstandigheden in het afgeloopen jaar niet veel ten opzigte der regeling is kunnen gedaan warden, doch dat zulks dit jaar zal ge- schieden." (34) On the 15 June 1866 it was briefly mentioned in the Volksraad that W. Collins had been appointed as a member of this commission. It received no further mention in the Volksraad. The reasons why the commission did not succeed in organizing a public archive remain obscure. It was left to each government department to preserve its own records, this encouraged a decentralized system of departmental archives. Paddison's building served as government offices between 1856 and 1877. The building - 24 - was cramped and storage space limited so that one may only guess the state of the public records when they were eventually removed to the new government buildings, in President Brand Street, upon their completion in 1877. The next move towards the formation of an archive, came from the private sector. In 1877 a notice, prompted by Er Brill appeared in the Express and Orange Free State Advertiser. The Bloemfontein Library Committee reported "that a very interesting movement has been set on foot in Bloemfontein, namely, the gradual collection of Free State Archives: that is to say, anything and everything which can throw light on the history of this country. 5.Jch a collection it speaks for itself, is necessary and useful. The earlier stages of a state require careful chronicling, and if the material at hand is not well preserved, as suitable occasion offers, the subsequent difficulty becomes very great." (6) Or Brill was unanimously appointed custodian of all the records and it was resolved to collect: (i) originals or authenticated copies of early manuscript documents of the Orange Free State; (ii) files of pro- curable r;iewspapers; (iii) treaties and conventions; (iv) correspondence from the earliest times relating to the area between the Orange and Vaal Rivers. They appealed to everyone to present old records to the "archives". On 3 April 1879, Or Brill reported through the same channel that progress had been slow and trying, response for old documents poor, but he had received the following from the government: the oldest constitution of the state; minutes of 18 sessions of the Volksraad; and official correspondence with the Cape between 1866 and 1875. He acknowledged receipt of a copy of Adamantia, by Capt Lindlay; historical works on the Cape under Dutch rule; an almost complete set of the Cape l\ibnthly Magazine; - 25 - a few manuscripts pertaining to the war with the Zuid- Afrikaansche Republiek in 185? and copies of newspapers. He, himself, had begun a collection of all the local newspapers: The Express, The Friend of the State, the Gouvernements Courant, The O.F.S. Monthly Magazine, and the Fakkel, as well as works on S:Juth African language and literature. He made an urgent appeal for the manuscript copy of Sarel Celliers' journal and other documents and books such as Hofstede's history of the Free State, O.F.S. Lawbook and the missing volumes of the minutes of the Volksraad. Finally he appealed for adequate accommo- dation for the collection. Despite these gallant efforts no national archive was established during the republican period. After the Treaty of Vereeniging, 31 May 1902, the British authorities transferred the official republican records to the basement of the old Raadzaal in President Brand Street. Their preservation and care was assured by the appointment of a government librarian and keeper of the archives in 1903. Edmund Leveson Calverley, the librarian of the Legislative Council assumed duty. Calverley was greatly interested in the preservation and care of old documents. He succeeded in having all the archival material relating to the old republic removed to the old Raadzaal where he arranged, labelled and stored them in strongrooms. This move saved them from being destroyed in the 1908 fire which gutted the government buildings. He compiled inventaries and a subject index to all the documents in his care. In October 1908 a fire destroyed the government buildings. The archives of the Orange River Colony were hurriedly removed to storage places and cellars in other government buildings scattered throughout Bloemfontein. - 26 - The British authorities abolished Calverley's post on 1 May 1909. A section of the archives of the Orange River Colony, including those of the old republic were removed to the Parliamentary Library and its management was placed temporarily in the hands of the clerk of the House of Assembly. After the establishment of union in 1910, a temporary archivist, D.F. du Tait, was appointed and remained in office until his resignation in 1923. Mr A.J.H. Maree acted as part-time archivist until the appointment· of Mr L.B. van der Walt as first full-time archivist in the Free State Archives on 29 March 1927. The corner-stone of the present archives was laid in 1925, thus, becoming the final resting place of the official documents of the early Free State governments. The republican documents have since been bound into arbitary volumes. Each bound volume has received a number preceded by the initials: QB. on the spine. These volumes have been arranged chronologically on the shelves by the QB.-number. The minutes of the Volksraad are bound separately and at present have the QB.-numbers one to thirty-two. The documents of the colonial period have been arranged chronologically by subject in folders, where documents permit. Each document, in the folder or otherwise, has been assigned a number preceded by the initials: .QBf., to distinguish them from the QB. documents. Arrangement on the shelves is chronological according to the Q.B.g,- number. These numbers range roughly from 1 to 326. A third and fourth series of numbering may also be dis- tinguished. These are the documents pertaining to the Inter-Colonial Council and Central S:Juth African Railways which have been arranged similarly to the QBf. documents, but their numbers are preceded by the letters IQ£· - 27 - A further series similarly arranged, bear the letters 19:,, and represent those documents which do not pertain to the Inter-Colonial Council itself, but reflect the results of the work which it initiated. 3.2. Government Printer. It can be stated succinctly that the Orange Free state never had an official Government Printer at any time. The government printing work had to be tendered for by the various publishing houses in the Free State. The successful applicant then received a contract for three· years. These contracts were awarded to the following firms between 1854 and 1900: Thomas White, publisher of the Friend, 1857-1866; Van Iddekkinge and Co., 1866-72; Peters, publishers of De Ti.jd, 1872-75; White, Barlow and Company, 1875-78 and the o.v.s. Nieuwsblad Maatschappij, directed by Carl Borckenhagen and publisher of De Express from 1878-1900. -I 3.3. The Publications of the Orange Free State Republic, 1854-1900. 3.3.1. The Government Gazette. Although the government gazette has been ex- cluded from the present work, it is worthy of mention. The newspaper, The Friend of the State, served as government gazette between 1854 and 10 March 1857, when the first official government gazette appeared, entitled, Gouvernements Courant van den Oran.je Vri.jstaat and contained a mis- cellany of information pertaining to government appointments; annual budget; rules and regu- lations governing the admission of doctors, chemists, translators, attorneys, advocates and surveyors to practice in the state; notices concerning estates; correspondence, including foreign correspondence; legal matters; notices of meetings of the iand commissions; and matters of general interest. - 28 - 3.3.2. Minutes of the Volksraad. The proceedings of the Volksraad were closely minuted from the first session, 28 March 1854 until the last session, 28 September 1899. These minutes represent the most complete history of the old republic, reflecting the political, economic, social and cultural development of its government and people. Each session of the Volksraad opened with the customary prayer, followed by the Presidential address which formed a rigid agenda for the meetings of the Volksraad. This address and its proposals which were discussed in detail, help to give a clear understanding of the reasoning and philosophy behind the resolutions passed in the Volksraad. The Volksraad met 82 times in its 46-year existence and directed attention to all matters concerning the stata. The constitution received immediate attention and all amendments were minuted. The history of the economic development and growth is demonstrated from its rudimentary beginnings, when the state coffers were perpetually empty. The annual budget and the system of taxation are clearly set out. The government's policy towards the Basutos, its neighbouring states and at the time of the Diamond field dispute has been carefully minuted. As well as the treaties it concluded with its neighbouring states and far beyond their borders with France, United States of America, Great Britain, Belgium and Holland. It carefully planned and recorded its system for the administration of justice. All laws, pro- - 29 - clarnations and ordinances were ratified in the ·Raad. Other matters that received attention in the Volksraad pertain to: Education, Religion, Railways and Customs, Agriculture, Irrigation, Geological Surveys, State Defence, Public Works, Public Health, Posts and Telegraphs and an end- less nl.ITlber of petitions received from its citizens. General matters also received attention, such as appointments and dismissals, correspondence at all levels, annual reports from the heads of depart- ments, reports of commissions and land commissions. 3.3.3. Government Secretary's Office. The post of the Government Secretary was second in importance to that of the State President, although the farmer's duties and privileges were never clearly defined in the Volksraad. In the early stages of the republic the govern- ment secretary was also the treasurer-general. In short, it can be stated that the government secretary was the right-hand man of the State President, executing all the duties which the latter delegated and even acted on his behalf. "He was the hub around which all official business resolved, the nexus binding the central government to the districts, the private individual to the authorities." (49, p.161) His archives are estimated at approximately 2,000 documents and "whether it be a matter of local trivialities, broad political tendencies or com- plicated legal questions, no research into the· history of the Free State can neglect these pieces. They are related to all others." (49, p.161) - 30 - Graham c. Botha (5, p.84-6) divides the govern- ment secretary's cbcuments into the following groups: 3.3.3.1. Letters received. 3.3.3.2. Letters despatched. 3.3.3.3. Telegrams received. 3.3.3.4. Telegrams despatched. 3.3.3.5. Licences. 3.3.3.6. Land commission. 3.3.3.?. Treaties, conventions, agreements, etc. The above list demonstrates that the largest part of his archives never reached the press, and therefore, fall outside the scope of this work. However, in the case of the last two groups, documents were printed and have been included. 3.3.4. Administration of Justice. "The Roman-Dutch Law was laid down as the common law of the Republic. Justice was administered by the High Court which was to consist of a Chief Justice and two judges who had to be Cbctors of Laws or Advocates of seven years standing. In the country districts the admini- stration of justice was in the hands of the Landdrosts appointed by the Volksraad; they took the place of the former Civil Commissioners and Resident Magistrates and were assisted by two Heemraden in judicial matters. Each ward into which every district was divided, elected its - 31 Field-Cornet who performed partly civil and partly military duties." (5, p.82) Ordinance books were cumulated from 1854 to 1891. These cumulations cover different years. In 1891, Ordinance, no 16, appointed a 3-member commission to compile, rearrange and revise the ordinances of the state. This ordinance determined: "D:tt het Wetboek, door de Commissie bijeenver- zameld en gerangschikt, na te zijn hersien, her- drukt en, volgens de voorschrifte der Constitutie, gepubliceerd in de Gouvernements Courant, als bevattende de Wetten en Ordonnantien van den Raad tot en met dit jaar 1891 inbegrepen, zal zijn en beschouwd, en genomen warden te zijn, het Wetboek van den Oranjevrijstaat, waaraan in alle Gerechtshoven en daarbuiten, de autoriteit van Wetboek van den Oranjevri.jstaat vervangende de tot nu toe gebruikte Ordonnantie-boeken zal moeten warden toegekend." ( 34) The ordinance resulted in Statute Books con- taining the statutes for the years 1854-90, which was replaced by one for 1854-91. In these compilations the ordinances of the preceding years were revised and republished in chapters. A third compilation existed for 1892-99, but its layout resembled that of the ordinance books. The different cumulations of the Ordinance and Statute Books have been included in part I of the guide, while the ordinances and statutes have been enumerated in Appendix A. The laws of the state were enforced by its law courts. These documents not only authenticate the history of the courts, but also contain many historical details relating to the country itself. - 32 - They demonstrate the development of the system of justice from an elementary system admin1stered by .laymen who had little or no knowledge of law, to a highly efficient system in the hands of a chief justice. A large proportion of these documents were fugitive material and never reached the press, however, .the regulations pertaining to the law courts were published in 1875 and Ordinance no 2 of the same year relates to the composition of the courts. Cases decided in the Supreme court were also published from time to time, the first in the present work appeared in 1875. 3.3.5. Orange Books. The orange books represent the major portion of the republican publications. They are similar to the blue books of the Cape Colony and the green books of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek. An orange book existed when important information was tabled in the Volksraad and published later by authority. The first recognised orange book is the budget of 1865. Orange books, however, only started appearing regularly after 1881, but as they have no numerical sequence, it is difficult to determine whether a particular one ever appeared. This class of publications may conveniently be divided into the following groups: * budgets * departmental reports * reports of commissions * official correspondence * census and voters' rolls. - 33 - The research value of the orange books must not be underestimated as they contain information on all facets of life in the old republic. Re- searchers will find the orange books a valuable starting point in any piece of research; it is hoped this fact will be underlined _in the follow- ing discussion of the different groups. 3.3.5.1. The Budgets. The annual budget of revenue and expenditure appeared in the Government Gazette from 1856 until 1864. In 1865 it was published for the first time. The series is incom- plete prior to 1870, but complete from 1870 to 1899, how- ever, several draft budgets, if they reached the press, are no longer available. The financial year lasted from 1 April until 31 March, but the 1886-7 year ended on the 28 February so that en- suing years started on 1 March. From 1896 the financial year corresponded with the calendar year. The policy followed during the compilation was to itemise revenue and expenditure rather than departmentalize it. Revenue was listed under headings such as: stamp duty, fines, sale of land, licences, customs and pant dues, etc. Expenditure provided for government debts, public buildings, salaries, etc. These budgets reflect the growth of the treasury from a state of perpetual emptiness to prosperity. The treasurer-general and auditor-general were the chief officials responsible for the compilation of the budget. It was often bound with the farmer's report. 3.3.5.2. Annual 03partmental Reports. Organized government departments did not exist during the early stages of the republic, and no reports were published. - 34 - During these years the republic was so preoccupied with the Basuta problan that little attention was given ta the organization of the civil service. It was only after the Diamond field dispute at the beginning of the seventies that the Valksraad could turn its attention ta legislation concerning the organization and establishment of government departments • The earliest departmental reports available are those of the Superintendent of Education dating from 18?6. Since 1880 after the reports of the Auditor-General and the Postmaster-General, they started multiplying rapidly. These reports were usually submitted ta the Valksraad an the first day of the February session. They reported an the activities of the particular department and were signed by the head of the department. The heads of the fallowing departments submitted annual reports. These departments have been listed alphabetically: 3.3.5.2.1. Administrator of Funds. Few documents pertaining to this past have survived. Three printed reports far the following financial years exist: 1882-3, 1883-4 and 1884-5. They contain statements on education funds, orphan chamber funds, inheritance funds, interest rates, etc. Between 18?5 and 18?? and after 1893 the treasurer- general submitted these reports. In 1894 a com- mission appointed by the Volksraad reported on the subject of revising the regulations laid down for the administrator of funds. 3.3.5.2.2. Attorney-General. In 1856 the State President recommended the appoint- ment of an attorney-general so that the Volksraad passed the following resolution: - 35 - "Oat het tractement voor den Staatsprocureur op £250 per jaar bepaald blijve, onder voorwaarde dat hij tergelijkertyd de betrekkingen van auditeur- generaal en postmeester-generaal daarbij sal waar- nemen." (34) A.B. Roberts was appointed and his duties towards state and courts, were defined. He was assigned a clerk who also had to be post- master of Bloemfontein. On the 20 February 1861 a resolution was adopted separating this post from that of auditor-general and postmaster-general. Despite the fact that he had to submit an annual report to the Volksraad, only one such report sur- vived, the publication of the others are open to question. 3.3.5.2.3. Auditor-General. On the 17 April 1854, Mr W. Collins was appointed Auditor-general, Registrar of Deeds and Orphan Master. In February 1856 the president recommended the appointment of a state-attorney who would then take over the auditor-general and postmaster-general portfolios. In 1858 the duties of the auditor-general office were clearly defined. Amongst other things it had to submit an annual report, issue a quarterly statement of revenue and expenditure and make up the estimates for each ensuing year. The 1880-1 report was one of the earliest orange books. These reports contained information on state finances similar to the treasurer-general's report. The collection is incomplete. In 1879 the auditor-general also assumed the duties of the Inspector of Finance. - 36 - 3.3.5.2.4. Captain of the Artillery, Commandant of the Mounted Police and Criminal Investigation. Separate reports were submitted to the Volksraad concerning the activities of the above departments, although they were all compiled by the Commissioner of Police. The reports of the Artillery and l\ibunted Police date from 1892 to 1898 while those on Criminal In- vestigation date from 1896 to 1898. The report on the artillery was presented under such headings as military needs, statements on in- come and expenditure, munitions, requisitions, personnel, buildings, etc. The report of the l'vbunted Police discusses regu- lations, salaries, training, uniforms, leave, etc. The report of the Criminal Investigation Department includes statistics on the cases met out of avail- able funds. 3.3.5.2.5. Collector of Customs. The customs dispute raged between the Republican Government and the British Colonies for many years before it was finally solved. The reports of the chief customs officer appeared between 1894 and 1898. These reports consisted largely of statements and tables showing the im- ports and exports to and through the state as well as the tariffs. 3.3.5.2.6. Director of Railways. The government took over the British built railways in 1897, but in 1896 the Director of Railways issued his first report entitled: - 37 - Rapport van den Direkteur-Generaal van §Joorwegen. Unfortunately this report is missing from the Free State Archives and al_l attempts to trace it failed. The reports for 1897 and 1898 report on railways construction, new lines opened, tariffs, employees, railways schools, etc. Prior to 1896 a railways commission issued progress reports on railways in 1881, 1883, 1893, 1894 and 1895. 3.3.5.2.7. Director of Telegraphs. "The first commencement of Telegraphic communication in the State was made in May 1874, when a proposal was read from the Cape Colonial Government, to lay a line from the Colony to the Diamond fields, via Philippolis and Fauresmith, which was granted by the Raad, under certain conditions, and with a 'proviso' that the line could be taken over by the State, on a notice of twelve months; since then - 1874 - a network of wires have been laid in the State, ••• " (10, p .314) Telegraphic communication also received attention during the 1875, 1876 and 1879 sessions of the Volksraad. The director's salary was fixed in 1880 and the reports printed are for 1885-6, 1892-3 and 1893-4. In 1897 and 1898 this report was submitted by the Postmaster-General, entitled: Rapport van den Postmeester-Generaal en Algemeene Bestuurder van Telegrafen yan den Oranjeyrijstaat. Matters reported on include income and expenditure, inspector of lines, clerks, telegrams, transport, etc. - 38 - 3.3.5.2.8. Education Department. The education system and progress of the Re- publican period has been adequately described in the Manoir of the Life and Work of Rev. John Brebner. The Volksraad realized the importance of educating their youth, but lacked the means to organize an Education Department. This ideal was achieved in 18?4 when John Brebner was appointed Inspector of Education and in 1892 became Superintendent of Education. This step formed a firm foundation for future progress. The first report appeared in print for the 18?6-? financial year. These reports were entitled: Verslag van den Staat van het Onderwijs in den Dranjevrijstaat, and appeared annually until 1898. This annual report presented details on the different types of schools in the O.F.S. Appendices are included for the inspector's notes made on inspections during the year and the curators' reports for Grey College; Het Dames' Instituut, Eunice; the Infant School and later the Normal School. A second series of education reports also exist, entitled: Algemeene Commissie van Publieke Eksa- minatoren in Letteren en Wetenschap Rapport. They appeared from 1881, but the series is in- complete. These reports contained information on examinations and examination results. The examination question papers for all courses have been appended. 3.3.5.2.9. Inspector of Public Diggings. The Diamond diggings at Jagersfontein were opened in July 18?0, while profitable mines also existed - 39 - at Koffiefontein and later at Kaalvallei. Inspectors were appointed at these diggings, al- though the latter did not attract a large alien population. These inspectors reported annually to the Volksraad on conditions at the diggings, the compounds, population and many statistics were included. Reports for the Jagersfontein and Koffiefontein mines date from 1893 to 1898; only an 1898 report exists for Kaalvallei, while no reports exist for the diggings at Pniel. 3.3.5.2.10. Inspector of Public Works. Although the budget voted annual amounts for Public Works, this money was largely spent on bridges, roads and to a lesser extent on public buildings. A Public Works Commission reported on these ac- tivities in 1865 and 1870. The first report sub- mitted by an inspector of public works is dated 1882-3. The series is incomplete. The reports were presented under headings such as: bridges, finances, budgets, buildings, tenders, irrigation, railways, construction of telegraph lines, etc. The inspector also aided various commissions of enquiry. 3.3.5.2.11. Orphan Master and Master of Insolvent Estates. On the 17 April 1854 this post was called into being, coupled to that of Registrar of Deeds and Auditor-General. On the 8 March 1856 a govern- ment notice announced that the landdrost of Bloemfontein would take over the duties of Orphan Master and Master of the High Court in the admini- stration of insolvent estates. - 40 - On the 15 February 1859 the following resolution was adopted: "Aangezien er dringende behoefte be- staat dat er bij nieuwe wette worde voorzien in het beheer der weeskamer en de administratie van in- so l vente boedels, zoo drukt de Raad den wensch uit, dat Z.H.Ed. de Staatspresident daaromtrent zoodanige wetten ontwerpe, en in eene volgende zitting van den Volksraad, ter overweging van vaststelling aanbiede." (34) "The Orphan Master saw to the proper administration of the estates of deceased persons whose property was in the Free State and kept a watchful eye over the interest of minor heirs. In his office a Register of (Baths was kept. In case of an in- testate estate he appointed an executor dative after a meeting of the next of kin had been held." (5, p.83) Reports on the activities of this department date from 1884-5, but the set is complete from 1893 to 1898. ~wever, the 1892-3 report includes a Memorie van toelichting over 1892-3 which is a statistical analysis concerning the activities from 1884-1893. This throws a shadow of doubt on the existence of the reports for intervening years. 3.3.5.2.12. Postmaster-General. The duties of the Postmaster-General were executed from 1856 by the Attorney-General. In 1861 the latter was relieved of this post and in 1877 a separate Postmaster-General and Auditor-General was appointed. The Postmaster-General's first printed annual re- port, 1880-1, rates among the earliest orange books. He reported on such matters as: postal communi- - 41 - cation, postal services, post offices, delivery of mail, contracts, agreements, etc. This callee.;. tion of reports is incomplete. From 189? he also submitted the report on tele- graphs previously submitted by the Director of Telegraphs. 3.3.5.2.13. Registrar of Deeds. Mr Joseph Allison was acting Registrar of Deeds and Orphan Master at the time o.f independence and reported on the state of affairs. Mr William Collin1 was appointed Registrar of Deeds, Auditor- .Gene~! and Orphan Master on the 17 April 1854. In February 1856 the state president submitted a draft ordinance to-fth~ Volksraad concerning the establishment of an office for the Registrar of Deeds. He also ~emoved the duties of Auditor- General and later those of Orphan Master. The duties were duly laid down by Ordinance no 5, 1856: Tot de oprichting van een kantoor voor het Registreren van Acten in den Oranjevrijstaat. William Collins inaugurated the system of deeds registration, but no printed reports date from his term of office. The first report did not appear in print until 1885. The series is complete from the 1892-3 service year until 1898. This office was concerned with the registration of title deeds. 3.3.5.2.14. Surveyor-General. Although the appointment of a surveyor-general received attention during 1856, nothing came of it. On 26 February 1862 they again decided not to appoint one. - 42 - On the 2 June 18?5 an ordinance was drafted con- cerning a surveyor-general's office. Geo W. Stow reported on geological matters in April and December 18?8. The need for a Surveyor- General was underlined, but no appointment was made until 22 May 1883 when J.C. Fleck was offi- cially appointed to the post in which he had been acting since 1881. The first published report dates from 1883, but they apparently only appeared regularly between 1892 and 1898. The reports were concerned with general sur- veys done at various places in the Orange Free State, and the compilation of a map of the territory. 3.3.5.2.15. Treasurer-General. The Treasurer-General and Auditor-General had control of the Financial Cl3partment of the state. Both posts were the first to be filled after independence. The Government Secretary also held the Treasurer- General portfolio between 1854 and 1866. On 24 February 1866 the Volksraad decided to separate the posts and to appoint a separate Treasurer- General who then also became Master of the Supreme Court. The duties of the Administrator of Funds were also executed by the Treasurer-General be- tween 1875 and 1877 and after 1893. The 1881-2 annual report was the first to appear in print. These reports contain statements dealing with all aspects of state finances under headings such as: posts and telegraphs, tax, education, public works, etc. A copy of the budget was also attached to the report in later years. The series is unfortunately, incomplete. - 43 3.3.5.3. Offipial Correspondence. The Republican Government conducted the correspondence with its neighbouring states at an official level. The majority of these letters, however, never reached the press, but cumulations were printed from time to time especially that with the Cape Government and Britain. These letters relate to matters of mutual importance, such as, the Basuto problem, Diamond fields, possible unification with Cape and later with z.A.R., Customs, Railways, etc. The earliest cumulation to appear in print refers to the 1870-1 period and was conducted between J.H. Brand and H. Barkly. 3.3.5.4. Reports of Commissions~ These orange books pertain to the reports of commissions appointed from time ~o time by the Volksraad. The terms of reference of these commissions cover a very wide subject field, but may conveniently be divided into the following groups: 3.3.5.4.1. commissions investigating special aspects, e.g. railways, irrigation, rinderpest, etc. 3.3.5.4.2. commissions investigating annual reports sub- mitted by the heads of departments. 3.3.5.4.3. commissions reporting on foreign missions under- taken beyond the borders of the State, e.g. to Z.A.R., etc. 3.3.5.5. Census and Voters' Rolls. The 1880 and 1890 census re,ports were published and contain statistical information on the population as regards: number of men, women and children, European and Coloured; religions; education; occupations and - 44 professions; area of land; agricultural produce; physically handicapped, etc. Voters' Rolls exist for 1884 and from 1895 to 1900. Today these rolls have the unique function of direc- tories as they are the only means of tracing a person in this period. The voters' rolls are divided firstly by place and then into wards. Names of voters are then arranged alpha- betically and these particulars include surname, christian names or initials, occupation or profession, full postal and residential addresses and any other necessary details. 3.4. The Publications of the Orange River Colony, 1900-1910. The documents of the Orange River Colony are in some instances similar to those of the earlier period and in others display no resemblance at all. The orange books were not co~tinued into this period, but their equivalent may be seen in the annexures of the Legislative Assembly towards the latter part of the decade. These publications have conveniently been divided into 2 phases, viz. the documents eminated by Military Rule and the documents of the civilian governments. The latter group of publications embrace those of the Crown Colony Government and those of Responsible Government. This change in government did not bring about any major changes in departmental documents, therefore, it did not seem necessary to divide this discussion into two periods. 3.4.1. O.R.C. Government Gazette. Attention is once more focussed on the existence of a government gazette. The Government Gazette of the Orange River Colony was indeed the first publication of the new government. The first gazette appeared on 29 June 1900 and the last was issued on 30 May 1910. It was published by the Argus Printing and Publishing Company. - 45 - ~------------------------~ The government used this channel to bring offi- cial information to the attention of its citizens quickly. Its contents included lists of priso- ners of war and deaths of prisoners of war; concentration camp deaths and marriages; govern- ment appointments; municipal regulations and amendments; applications for the registration of trade marks; boundaries of districts; other official notices, etc. 3.4.2. Colonial Secretary. The archive of the Colonial Secretary falls out- side the scope of the present work. It consisted of unpublished material which comprised the following: 3.4.2.1. correspondence between 1901 and 190?. These correspondence files number approximately ?05 and treat as many subjects; 3.4.2.2. letters patent, commissions and royal instructions re- lating to the appointment of a governor and providing for the establishment of Responsible Government. This col- lection suffered losses during the 1908 fire which swept through the government buildings. 3.4.3. Publications during Military Rule, 1900-1902. The few publications which did appear during this period, may be classified into the following categories. 3.4.3.1. Proclamations The military government issued approximately 40 procla- mations between 24 May 1900 and 23 June 1902. The proclamations have been cumulated, and form one volume, entitled: Proclamations issued in the Orange River Colony from the date of the annexation to the promulgation of the constitution on the 23 June 1902. -~- These proclamations were designed to maintain law and order in the territory and pertain to the establistvnent of the S:JUth African Constabulary; Board of Health; District Surgeons; Registration of births and deaths, etc. A full enumeration of all these proclamations appears in Appendix A • 3.4.3.2. Treasury. A mimeographed report reports on the state of the treasury of the late Orange Free State and contains a statement of the revenue and expenditure from 1 Jan. 1899 to 13 March 1900, as well as a statement of assets and liabilities of the late republic. The financial adviser who later became the Colqnial Treasurer, Mr. A. Browne, issued statements of receipts and expenditure for the periods: 13 March 1900 to 30 June 1901 and 1 July 1901 to 30 June 1902. 3.4.3.3. Reports of Commissions of Enguiry. Reports of three commissions of enquiry appeared at the time, viz: 3.4.3.3.1. Report of a commission of enquiry into the leasing of farms and mining rights by the government of the late Orange Free State ••• 3.4.3.3.2. Report of commission of enquiry into the late ad- ministration of the Kroonstad District since the annexation. 3.4.3.3.3. Report of commission of enquiry with regard to institutions in Bloemfontein receiving government support. 3.4.3.4. Lists of Government Properties. Lists were drawn up showing the properties and farms owned by the Republican Government. These lists were divided by districts detailing the name, registration ,_ 47 - number, size and title of each property or farm. 3.4.3.5. [)Jcuments pertaining to citizens. These documents were largely concerned with lists of persons who had taken the oath of neutrality stating the surname, initials, residential address and the date they took the oath. Therefore, these rolls also have the function of directories. In 1901 revised instructions for administering the oath appeared, as well as instructions relating to fugitive offenders. The Public Health Department also issued a report on the mortality statistics of the refugee camps, including the classification of the diseases that were succumbed to. 3.4.4. Repatriation Department. Although articles 2 and 10 of the Treaty of Vereniging made provision for repatriation, claims, compensation and loans in respect of surrendered burghers, the Repatriation Depart- ment was established before these articles were drafted. This department was constituted in April 1902 and its work was rather insignificant at the time. It consisted of a secretary, assistant secretary, a clerk and a typist, however, when peace was finally concluded in June 1902, it employed some 2,000 officials. The work of this department temporarily over- shadowed all other branches of the administration. Its task was to repatriate the peoples of the former republics. The difficulties it had to contend with has been described at great length by Mr Beak in his work The Aftermath of the War. - 48 The British Refugee Aid Department, Relief \\tlrks 03partment and Land Settlement Department were affiliated to the Repatriation Department, with the following aims. The "British Refugee Aid Department was insti- tuted with the object of helping deserving British subjects where no other assistance from govern- ment sources was forthcoming." (4, p.68) The Orange River Colony Relief Works Department was formed with "the object of providing employ- ment for indigent burghers or 'poor whites' and to assist in ridding the refugee camps of people whom it was otherwise impossible to repatriate." (4, p.68) These people were employed mainly to construct dams and other irrigation works on government farms. The work of the Orange River Colony Land Settle- ment Department is not so easily defined, as it covered many facets of the land question, inclu- ding an enquiry into the agricultural resources of the country. Notification was given in April 1903 that the Repatriation Department would cease to operate under this name from 1 May 1903, when it would become known as the Orange River Colony Govern- ment Relief Department. The latter department was under the control of the secretary and assistant secretary who acted according to the orders of the Lieutenant-Governor who was at the head of the executive. The whole task of repatriation was carried out in the O.R.C. at a cost of approximately £1,400,000 compared with £9,093,636 in the Transvaal. (13, p.303) The work was carried out in such - 49 a way that burghers were soon able to support themselves in a fair way and when normal con- ditions were sufficiently restored, the process of recuperation could be expedited. The documents which eminated from the Repatri- ation Department and its affiliated departments were largely fugitive material, thus very few reached the press. However, printed documents pertaining to these departments appeared between 1901 and 1908. The subjects in them refer to finances, poor whites, land settlement and govern- ment farms. They appear largely in the form of reports of select committees and commissions. 3.4.5. Crown Colony Government, 1902-190?: Minutes and Debates of the Legislative Council. There were ten sessions and one special session of the Legislative Council between 1902 and 190?. The council met twice annually, Sir Hamilton Goold-Adams remarked: "As you are aware it is a practice of this council to divide its annual session into two portions - the one sitting being held in July of each year for the primary purpose of dealing with financial matters and the other at this period of the year (February March) for more general purposes." ( 2?, p. 2) This was an arbitary division of the council's work. These minutes are a living monument of the de- velopment and growth of the Orange River Colony after the war. Amongst others., they contain information on policies, treaties, internal and foreign affairs, education, agriculture, railways, mineral exploitation, defence, irrigation, finances, public works, land settlement, repatriation, customs, public health, justice, native affairs, letters patent, etc. - 50 - Unlike the minutes of the Volksraad, the debates of this Council appeared separately from the second session on 18 May 1903, to the end of the tenth session, 2 August 190?. 3.4.6. Responsible Government, 1907-1910: Minutes and Debates of the First Parliament. The first session of the first parliament of the Orange River Colony met on 18 and 19 December 190?, then it adjourned until the 13 May 1908. There was a second session, two special sessions and an extraordinary session, prior to the formation of union on 31 May 1910. The minutes exist in English and Cl.Jtch and their contents are similar to that of the Legislative Council and Volksraad. The debates have been bound separately as well as the votes and proceedings of the House of Assembly. Responsible Government also gave birth to three volumes of Annexures to the Votes and Proceedings of the Legislative Assembly for 1908, 1909 and 1910. These annexures consist largely of annual reports of departments, the budgets and commission reports. They represent those documents tabled in the Assembly. 3.4.?. Administration of Justice. Minor changes were made concerning the courts of the old republic. Ordinance no ?, 1902 abolished the district courts of landdrosts, of assistant landdrosts, of landdrosts and heemraden, and of assistant landdrosts and heemraden; and in their place established the courts of Resident Magi- strates which had all the jurisdiction, powers - 51 - and duties of the former courts. These courts constituted the lower courts of the Orange River Colony. The High Court of Justice of the Orange River Colony was established by Ordinance no 4, 1902. Its seat was in Bloemfontein. It consisted of two and later three judges, but criminal cases were heard by a judge and a 9-rnember jury. The Appeal Court was established in 1904 to hear appeals from the Supreme Court. Circuit Courts continued to operate as before. The courts enforced the laws of the Orange River Colony. The statute law of the late republic had been translated into English by C.L. Botha and revised by S.H. Barber and J.H.L. Findlay. Ordinance books appeared from 1901 to 190?, after which they became Statute books. A cumulative volume entitled: Laws of the Orange River Colony exist for the period 1900-1906. All the laws enforced in the Orange River Colony have been enumerated in Appendix A. Further information also appears under the heading Department of the Attorney-General. 3.4.8. Departmental Publications, 1902-1910. These publications have been discussed in alpha- betical order: 3.4.8.1. The Audit Office. The auditor-general was at the head of this office which issued: 3.4.8.1.1. Instructions for the Guidance of Financial and Accounting Officers in the O.R.C.; and the amend- ment to these instructions. 52 3.4.8.1.2. Audit Regulations. 3.4.8.1.3. Annual accounts which were accompanied by the auditor-general's report. These accounts appeared from 1903-4 and the set is complete until 1909-10. After Responsible Government they were known as finance accounts and the last appeared in English and Cl.itch. In 1908, this office became a division of the Ministerial Department of the Prime Minister. 3.4.8.2. Commissioner of Police. The Police Force of the Orange River Colony was only organised after the abolitition of the S:Juth African Con- stabulary in 1907. Only the 1908 annual report of the acting commissioner, J.8.M. Hertzog exists. This report announces the abo- lition of the S:Juth African Constabulary and the formation of a new police force. It also reports on crime and extraneous duties undertaken in 1908. See also S:luth African Constabulary. 3.4.8.3. Customs 03partment. A conference on SJuth African conditions was convened in Bloemfontein on 10 March 1903. It was attended by 5-member delegations from the Cape Colony, Natal, D.R.C. and the Transvaal, with representatives from Rhodesia and Portuguese East Africa. A Customs Union was high on the agenda and the following resolution was unani- mously adopted: "That all the colonies represented are in favour of the establishment of a customs union based on a common tariff and would welcome the adhesion to such a union of the Province of fl/ozambique." (13, p.304) Another Customs and Railways Conference was held at Pietermaritzburg on the 8 March 1906 when a Customs Union - 53 - Convention was entered into and signed by all the dele- gates. This convention regulated customs in all the territories concerned. After the ratification of the latter convention in the Legislative Council customs became organized in the O.R.C. and the following publications were issued: 3.4.8.3.1. Customs Convention, laws, regulations, proclamations, notices, etc. of the O.R.C. Customs Union Tariff, 1903. 3.4.8.3.3. Minutes and proceedings of the Ebuth African Inter- Colonial Conference on Customs, 1903. 3.4.8.3.4. Minutes and proceedings of the Inter-Colonial Railway Conference, 1906. 3.4.8.3.5. Customs Handbook, 1907. 3.4.8.3.6. Report of the Collector of Customs, 1909. This latter report is the only one traced and discusses imports and exports by country of origin and by category. 3.4.8.4. Deeds Office. The Registrar of Deeds was at the head of this office which, in 1908, formed a division of the Ministerial Department of the Attorney-General. In 1903 the Deeds Office published its regulations per- taining to deeds of transfer, copies of deeds, bonds and the powers of the attorney-general. 3.4.8.5. Department of Agriculture. "The Orange River Colony Agricultural Department was not established until the latter part of the calendar year 54 - 1903, and had no proper organization until the beginning of the financial year 1904." (4, p.116) This department published the following publications: 3.4.8.5.1. Annual Reports. . 3.4.8.5.2. Farmers Bulletins • 3.4.8.5.3. Leaflets. Six annual reports appeared between 1904-5 and 1909-10. These reports included a report by the Director of Agriculture and reports by the heads of divisions within the department. Each report concludes with various meterological tables showing rainfall, barometric pressures, etc. Animal diseases and pests were rife in the Colony after the war, and.the entire animal population was in danger of being wiped out; to this must be added the complete lack of crops owing to the devastation and a severe drought followed in 1903. Conditions were critical and gave rise to a spate of publications of which the most important were the Farmers Bulletins and Leaflets. These publications were designed to bring some relief to the critical conditions, as stated on the title page of the bulletins: "these bulletins were issued for the information and benefit of farmers and stock raisers in the Orange River Colony." Twenty-three bulletins and twelve leaf- lets appeared, unfortunately both sets are in- complete. They covered a wide range of subjects, e.g. Scab, Glanders and farcy, Poultry parasites, Blue tongue, - 55 - Hair worm, Fruit growing, Dry fanning, Insects attacking mealies, etc. Other agricultural publications are: Brand's Directories, Regulations, Ordinances, etc. All these publications usually had an English and a 11.Jtch text. 3.4.8.6. Department of Education. Education was one of the principal matters to receive attention in the Legislative Council. During hostilities schools had been established in numerous towns and con- centration camps to promote the education of the younger generation. These government schools were under the supervision of Mr E.8. Sargant who, in 1903, became Educational Adviser to the governor. After the conclusion of hostilities, the educational system was reviewed and the Public Education Ordinance passed in 1903. In 1905 this ordinance was amended. Later at a conference between parties of the so-called Christian National Schools and the Government Schools, it was decided to grant more power to the school committees, as well as increased financial responsibilities to schools. Language and religious matters were also settled and the two types of schools mentioned above were amalgamated. Education was again the focal point in the first session of the first parliament in May 1908. The whole education system was revised with serious repercussions which will not be expounded here. In the light of this preamble we can expect this depart- ment to father many publications. The publications cover many aspects pertaining to schools, finances, curri- cula, books, teachers, pupils, examinations, awards, etc. Annual reports appeared, starting with a cumulative one for 1900 to 1904. These reports included a report by -ffi- the director, school principals' reports, statistical tables, examination results and always concluded with numerous appendices. 3.4.8.7. p:partment of Mines. The Orange River Colony was rich in minerals although this wealth was never fully exploited. Diamonds were found in small quantities in nearly every district. Mines existed at Pniel, Jagersfontein, Koffie- fontein and Kaalvallei. According to Calverley ( ?) the Jagersfontein mine yielded diamonds higher in value per carat, than the Kimberley mine. Coal was produced in 19:05, but production was hampered by lack of railway communications. Until 1905 gold was not found in payable quantities at surface level, but at deep level great developments were expected and have since been proved. f-bwever, the colony lacked the funds which deep level drilling required. Petroleum, according to Calverley, was found chiefly in the eastern districts around Harrismith and Bethlehem, but due to the great drilling expenses, more attention was given to diamonds and gold. Although iron was reputed to have existed in many parts of the colony, no beds were opened up. A bed to the Ebuth-€ast of Vredefort was traced for some miles. Copper also existed in this area. Other natural products were gypsum, natural cement and clay. In the presence of so much mineral wealth, the department of mines was established. It issued five annual reports between 1904 and 1909. · These reports were subnitted by the Surveyor-General and were presented in two sections, - 57 - viz. (a) producing mines and (b) prospecting. Under these headings diamonds, coal, gold, petroleLfll, etc. were discussed. 3.4.8.8. Department of Posts and Telegraphs. This department built upon the work of its predecessor and displayed great growth and development in the first decade of this century. The Postmaster-General, Mr. A. Falck, issued annual reports between 1905 and 1909. These reports were divided into three sections, viz. I. Postal. II. Telegraphs and III. General. Each section was subdivided and reported on in detail. Post and Telegraph Guides for 1909 and 1910 have survived, as well as two lists of Bloemfontein telephone subscribers for 1908. The former guide is useful as it displays the state the postal services in the colony reached prior to Union. It describes and lists offices, stamps, tariffs, post box and private bag renters, as well as regulations and various suggestions. The Bloemfontein Telephone Directory is the only publi- cation of its kind to have existed in the colony. It is an alphabetical list of names, addresses and telephone numbers of the Bloemfontein subscribers. 3.4.8.9. Department of Public Health. In 1908 this department was placed under the jurisdiction of the Ministerial Department of the Colonial Secretary. It published prolifically although no annual report appeared. It was responsible for the following publications: 3.4.8.9.1. proclamations and regulations with regard to the registration of births and deaths. - 58 - 3.4.8.9.2. reports on mortality statistics. 3.4.8.9.3. reports of the Registrar of Births and Deaths. 3.4.8.9.4. Medical and Pharmacy Registers, although only those for 1907, 1909 and 1910 have survived. 3.4.8.9.5. Vaccination regulations. 3.4.8.9.6. regulations for district surgeons. 3.4.8.9.7. instructions to field cornets in respect of the registration of births and deaths. 3.4.8.10. Department of Public Works. This department apparently published no annual reports between 1902 and 1910. In 1908 it became the Ministerial Department of the Commissioner of Public Works, Lands and Mines comprising the following sections: Public Works Roads, Bridges and Irrigation Architectural Office Survey and Mines. The second and last groups, especially, were responsible for many publications. 3.4.8.11. Department of the Attorney-General. The Attorney-General's annual reports, if they were published, have not survived. This department was, how- ever, responsible for various publications pertaining to the law courts and law enforcing officials of the Orange River Colony. In 1908 the Ministerial Department of the Attorney-General comprised the following divisions: - 59 - • 3.4.8.11.1. Attorney General; 3.4.8.11.2. High Court; 3.4.8.11.3. Eheriff; 3.4.8.11.4. Prisons; 3.4.8.11.5. Master of the High Court; 3.4.8.11.6. Registrar of Deeds; 3.4.8.11.7. Public Education; 3.4.8.11.8. Police; 3.4.8.11.9. Justices of the Peace. It published documents pertaining to court rules, duties of the sheriff, powers and duties of the Justices of the Peace, field cornets; law depart- ment circulars, several volumes of reports of cases decided in the High Court, remarks of judges of the High Court, several volumes reflecting the sentences passed in the lower courts, etc. 3.4.8.12. Department of the Colonial Treasurer. The Treasurer-General became known as the Colonial Treasurer after hostilities ceased and this office became the Ministerial Department of the Colonial Treasurer in 1908. This department then .Presided over the treasury, posts and telegraphs, customs and the land and agricultural loan fund. Attention is vested here upon the financial duties and publications. These included: 3.4.8.12.1. statements of the estimates and supplementary estimates of revenue and expenditure. - 60 - 3.4.8.12.2. statements of receipts and expenditure from 13 March 1900. 3.4.8.12.3. budget statement in Legislative Council from 1905. 3.4.8.12.4. annual accounts, accompanied by a report of the Colonial Treasurer, from 1903-4. 3.4.8.12.5. statements on loans. The statements of the estimates of revenue and expenditure were always detailed; while the state- ments of receipts and expenditure were always given with reference to the Po.st Office and Savings Bank, S:Juth African Constabulary, Central S:Juth African Railways and the Funds department. 3.4.8.13. 5.Jrvey Department. The 5.Jrvey and Mines Departments were linked in that the Surveyor-General issued reports for both. Only one annual report of this department has survived, if the others were ever published. In this report attention is directed towards routine work in the offices, maps, practising surveyors and the admission of such surveyors as well as the syllabus for the practical land survey examination. 3.4.9.

Census and Voters' Rolls. A census was held on l? April 1904. The results reveal interesting facts and statistics with regard to the population: numbers, dwellings, birthplaces, ages, conjugal conditions, education, religions, occupations and professions, sick- nesses and infirmities, convicts and prisoners, livestock and agriculture, industries, etc. This publication has a sister volume containing the regulations of district enumerators. Voters' rolls appeared in 190? and 1909. They differed from those of the earlier period in that the new delimitation resulted in more electoral divisions: 38 for 190? and 39 for 1909. Each electoral division was divided into wards and the voters were listed alphabetically according to their ward. Information for each - 63 - voter includes surname, christian name, resi- dential and postal addresses, occupation, trade profession or other description. The lists of voters appeared separately for each electoral division, but these have been cumulated into two volumes in the Free State Archives. One Volume for 190? and another for 1909. 3.4.11. Inter-Colonial Council Publications. An Inter-Colonial Council common to the Orange River Colony and the Transvaal was established by an order in Council dated 20 May 1903. Its purpose was to prevent the division of the Central S:luth African Railway system which was common to both colonies; it also took charge of the affairs of the S:Juth African Constabulary and various other matters delegated to it from time to time. "This arrangement was rendered liable to termi- nation on the motion of either colony after six months' notice, subsequent to the establishment of responsible government in both colonies. Such notice was given by both governments early in December 190? and the Council ceased to exist on 2 June 1908. Thereupon the Central 8Juth African Railways were worked as a joint system." (11, p.516) The Inter-Colonial Council was under the presi- dency of the High Commissioner and included the following members: the Lieutenant-Governors of the Transvaal and Orange River Colony, the Inspector-General of the S:luth African Consta- bulary, the Commissioner of Railways, two nomi- nated and two elected members of the Legislative Council of each colony, two other members nomi- nated by the Secretary of State who might or might not be members of the Legislative Council of either colony. All members held office for twelve months. The Council was charged with the following respon- sibilities: * "The reorganization of the railway systems of the two republics, these having been under military control during the war. * The provision of an adequate and efficient police force ••• * The provision of the necessary funds." (13, p. 314) As regards points one and two the Central S:Juth African Railways and the S:Juth African Constabu- lary came into being respectively. In order to raise the necessary funds, a guaranteed loan was raised by the High Commissioner with the two colonies as security. An amount involving 35 million pounds was raised, of this 5 million had to be raised for the Orange River Colony. The publications eminating from this source may be divided into the following categories: * Minutes and proceedings of the Council. * Central S:Juth African Railway Publications. * 8Juth African Constabulary. * Miscellaneous. 3.4.11.1. Minutes and Proceedings of the Council. The Council met for the first time on 2 July 1903, to dis- cuss finances, plan railway constructions, appoint a rail- way committee and to define the latter's functions, etc. Four more ordinary meetings and several extraordinary meetings were held between this date and 30 May 190?. The minutes of the public session and executive session appear separately as well as the debates of the proceed- ings in the Council. Orders in council relating to the - 65 - Inter-Colonial and the Central fi:Juth African Railways from 1902 to 1905 have also been published separately under headings such as: railway administration, creation of an Inter-Colonial Councii and its powers, constitution and organization, etc. 3.4.11.2. Financial Publications. These publications relate to the finance accounts and the annual estimates and supplementary estimates from the 1903-4 financial year. The finance accounts pertain to accounts of the Inter- Colonial Council, Central fi:Juth African Railways, fi:Juth African Constabulary, Appropriation accounts of the service of the guaranteed loan, etc. These accounts are accom- panied by a report of the auditor to the Council. Estimations for the following expenditure were made: Service of guaranteed loan, Central fi:Juth African Rail- ways, S:Juth African Constabulary, Surveys, Inter-Colonial Council, auditor and miscellaneous. These estimations and supplementary estimations were made until the 30 June 1908. 3.4.11.3. The Central fi:Juth African Railways. "The railways of the two colonies had been vested in the High Commissioner under the name of the Central fi:Juth African Railways, and were for some time under the manage- ment of Sir Percy Girouard, as Commissioner of Railways. The[Legislativ~ Council found that, while this officer was, no doubt an efficient director of military railways, it would be more in the general public and economic interest to supersede him and introduce more business methods of management." (13, p.316) He was superceded by Mr T.R. Price as Director of Railways. The Central S:Juth African Railways was responsible for the development and construction of railway lines in the Orange River Colony and the Transvaal. The financial - 66 - position of the Orange River Colony section of the system was for some time uncertain, but some clarification was reached by the Colonial Treasurer's statement: "That this colony has a debt only in so far as it has to make good a share, a comparatively small share in comparison with what the Transvaal has to pay, of the total sun by which the railway receipts of the joint railways fail, in any one year, to meet the actual expenditure for the maintenance of the railways, the charges in connection with the guaranteed loan, the Ebuth African Constabulary, and other minor services, common to the two colonies." (13, p.323) Publications pertaining to this subject include the general manager's reports from 1902 to 1909; reports on railway conferences in 1903 and 1906; reports by railway commis- sions and the railway committee; and publications con- cerning railway routes, rates and finances. 3.4.11.4. The Ebuth African Constabulary. The Ebuth African Constabulary was established as a result of the Inter-Colonial Council's responsibi~ity to provide an adequate and efficient police force. Few documents concerning this body appeared in print. It was duly provided for in the budgets of the Inter- Colonial Council. In 1905 a select committee, consisting of Sir Hamilton Goold-Adams, Sir George Farrar, l\Ar Goldby and Sir J.G. Fraser was appointed to investigate the condition and administration of this body with a view to·economising. They visited every depot and recommended that substantial and economic reductions could be beneficially introduced. In 1908 a commission was again appointed to investigate the constitution, organization, administration and dis- tribution of the Orange River Colony contingent of the Ebuth African Constabulary. This body ceased to exist after the establishment of Responsible Government, when it was superceded by a police force. - 67 3.4.11.5. Miscellaneous Publications. Various other duties were delegated to the Inter-Colonial Council from time to time; and these publications pertain to irrigation, native affairs, mutual relations cif the British Ebuth African Colonies, customs, university edu- cation, etc. 4. BIBLIOffiAPHICAL AIDS TD AEEEAACH AFTER THE HISTORY OF THE ORANGE FREE STATE: 1854-1910. Bibliographic aids to the history of the Orange Free State are varied and few. They are conveniently discussed in three cate- gories, viz: * bibliographies included in monographic works. * subject bibliographies. * works comprising the texts or extracts from the texts of original documents. The first category is well-known and the one most readily used and understood by readers. Here we simply understand the biblio- graphies appearing at the end or occasionally at the beginning of a textbook treating the subject. These bibliographies usually reflect those works the author consulted or works for further reading. Such bibliographies can be found in works like: * Cambridge history of the British Empire, v.8. (8) * Five hundred years: a history of Ebuth Africa. (28) * Geskiedenis van Suid-Afrika. (46) * History of Ebuth Africa. (50) These bibliographies serve a useful purpose if the reader is interested in further research. The second category is designed exclusively for the researcher engaged in compiling a list of books pertaining to his particular field of study. These bibliographies contain full bibliographic - 68 - details of the works listed so that they may be easily identified in any collection. Bibliographies belonging to this category and perta~ning to the Free State are: * Botha, C. Graham: The Public Archives of S:>uth Africa, 1652-1910. ( 5) * Muller, C.F.J • .2.::2.= A select bibliography of S:>uth African history ••• (29) * Theal, G. McCall: Catalogue of books and pamphlets ••• (42) * Van Schaar, M.C.E. ~·: •n Bibliografie van werke oar die Oranje-Vrijstaat vanaf die vroegste tye tot 1910. (48) The bibliographical aids belonging to the third category exist once more for the convenience of the researcher who may have difficulty in handling or reading an original document. These aids contain the texts or extracts from the texts of original publications. They are highly selective in their coverage and include only those documents considered most vital to illustrate a particular historical event. Free State examples illustrating this category are: * Eybers, G.W.: Select constitutional documents illustrating S:>uth African history, 1795-1910. (11) * Newton, A.P.: Select documents relating to the unification of S:>uth Africa. (32) * Van Jaarsveld, F.A.: Honderd basiese dokumente by die studie van die Suid-Afrikaanse geskiedenis, 1648-1961. (47) Official documents are rarely mentioned in the bibliographies belonging to the first category, while in the second category the minutes and proceedings of the Volksraad and Legislative Council are the only government publications usually cited. The third category is comprised of government documents only, but these compilations only represent a small percentage of the amount published by the government. Usually only those docu- ments illustrating government policy and the administration of justice are included, besides the minutes of the governing bodies. - 69 Orange and Blue books have not received any attention in the bibliographic aids for the Orange Free State although their research value have never been denied. "The history to be learned from a series of official documents is not only derived from the facts and statements that they contain, a study of their form is also of interest" (32, p. xxix) The present work was envisaged to achieve the latter in respect of the printed official records of .the Orange Free State. - 70 - 5.
