At the meeting ot the Board of
Trustees a resolution was passed
that four chairs on the board
should be filled from the Alumni of
ibe University. Prof. R. R. Wright
of Augusta .vas elected to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Mr.
Morgan of Atlanta, who had been
an efficient member ot the Board
tor many years. Prof Wright’s chief
competitor for this honorable place
was our worthy fellow-citizen Prof.
S. B. Morse, who got left on a vote
of twenty two.
At the meeting of tho Board on
May 25, Rev. Erastus B’aksly of
New Haven Conn., was elected
president of the University, -and
Prof. Bumsted, D. D., was elected
to fill the chair until the newly
vl< cted president qualifies.
The n ost important part of the
exercises was the examination of
the students in practical mechanism
and it Was wonderful to see with
what ease and rapidity the most
difficult diagram was executed,
transforming the roughest of wood
into the most delicate and useful
articles.
Proceedings of Conference.
THE THOMASVILLE DISTRICT CONFER-
ENCE BY E. E. LAWRENCE M ART IN.
.Vr. Editor-.
Thursday’ May 12, we boarded
theShoo-ily train at Bost m lor
Cairo Georgia, to attend the Sev
enth Session of the Thomasville
District C inference A. M. E.
L diurch. We-toped over in Th nn .s*
ville waiting for the fast mail which
by the way does not recognize
Boston enough to stop. We met
good many friends and before we
could get through speaking to them
our time was up. The conductor
cried all-aboard,and the iron horse
pulled us gently over a country thin
ly settled, but with many swamps,
and creeks, we did not have time to
chat, very long, before wc heard
Cairo, the place of our destination
At the depot we found Rev. 11,
Strickland, and a goodly number of
friends awaiting our arrival. Cairo
is a pleasant looking little town, on
the S. F. <fc W. R. R , about 14
miles from Thomasville, the people
both white, and colored, seem kind
and agreeable.
We were told that lands in and
around Cairo are cheap. It is a
wonder to me why don’t our col
ored people who are crowded in
large cities buy for themselves
homes in the country. lam sure
with the same amount of skill and
industry they use in keeping them
selves above want in cities would
make them independent in country
places.
The District Conference, was
opened by Rev. R. W. Fickland ol
Boston with timely remarks. Revs
M. J. Ingraham and J. R. Bennett
were chosen secretarys. Rev. R.
W. Fickland were chosen reporter
to the Southern Recorder, Rev. F.
S. Ward to the Christian Recorder,
and your scribe to the Savannah
Tribune. The bounds of the Con
ference were fixed Committees an
nounced and the Con f e re nee
adjourned. Rev. J. IL Adams,
was appointed to preach at night.
All preachers, and delegates were
amply provided for by the good
people of Cairo.
Thursday night at7:3o o’clock Rev
J: H. Adams preached to the large
audience a soul reviving sermon.
Friday May 13, Conference con
vened at 9:30 o’clock, the P. E.
made some remarks relating to the
duties of the Conference. The min
isters read their reports. The
churches are getting on nicely.
Rev. M. J, Ingraham, preached at
11 o’clock an interesting sermon,
He brought tears from our eyes.
The report on the requirements
of public schools was received with
acclamation speeches, were made
by Revs. Tuckey, Stubbs, and
Arnold, (white,) also by Revs,
Adams and Fickland. The com
mittee on I’. E. assessment assessed
the District SB7O. The 1). C. high
school was brought up and received
slight attention, but finally giVvii
the “go by.”
Rev. R. W. Fickland preached
on Friday night. Owing to the in
clemency of the weather, we did
not go out but, from what we heard
he did justice to the occasion the
next ses.-ion of the District Confer
cnee will I e held at. Camilla, Ga-
Boston Georgia.
OGEECHEE F. O. GEORGIA.
May 23, 1887.
Dear Editor, Saiannah Tribune :
Th® colored people of Seri ven
County nre having ju t ce exercised
in their favor before the court in
this county’ by the young judge
that was newly appointed by the
Georgia Legislature last year—who
succeeded old Judge Carswell the
man that ii a Negro went befoie
him, if he missed the chain-gang
he would be as fortunate as Grover
Cleveland was in 1884—our young
judge is H. R. Hines, who was soli
citor for ex-Judge Johnson years
ago—Judge Hines gave one of the
most impartial chargee to the
Grand Jury last week that ever nas
been given to a grand jury in
Seriven County for years —.*Ome
say tiiere never was a charge given
in the same manner following the
law in letter and spirit—justice can
be hcaid all along the line for the
poor colored man and poor whit,
man who has lean opportunity be
fore the courts in this county:
When you bring any matter of law
j before Judge Hines for execution
I bring it right or it will go over-
I boaid, white or colored no excep-
I tions. lie let go three colored men
t.iey had in Sciiyeu County jail,
accused lor breaking open the ware
house at 5] on the C. R, R , the
'first of the Spring, also he let go
| another one who was accused cf
braking the ware house at 5 C. R.
R., some tew weeks ago and put
him in jail but he was loosed—they
made the man drunk and ill treated
Irin and their own acti went
against them and let the man go—
also he wasnt guilty. Other very
important actions occurred which is
highly commendable by the good
citizens of Scriveu County white
and colored. Certainly if any one is
found guilty he will sutler the
penalty of the law, he exhorted the
Grand Jurors to how they can put
an end to this so-called lynch law,
which is a gross violation to the
laws of Georgia. Cuyler Scott
was sent to the chain-gang for two
years last fall court for burglary
and he was brought back to this
Spring court to stand another trial
which he was chaged for burning
Wm. Bletcher’s store (here) in
Scriven County two or tbre years
ago, they worked up some sort of
evidence and the Judge passed a
sentence on him for seven years—
so Cuyler Scott asked the Judge to
let him make a speech and alter he
spoke the Judge said I will takeoff
three years from your imprisonment
and I don’t believe that the Judge
thinks be guilty as evidence stated
