Sister O. P. Johnsen
[From Christian Recorder:]
Mrs. C. P. Johnson, wife of Rev.
|C. P. Johnson, of the Georgia
1 Conference, stationed in Darien,
iGat, died May 7tb. She was twen
ty-four years of age and in the full
$ triumph of faith. Sister Johnson
| joined the A. M. E. church when
nine years old. Her remains were
i taken, by her husband and fi lends,
Ito Louisyille, Ga , for interment
yi She leaves a dear and devoted
husband and four children and a
host of friends al) through Georgia
to mourn her death) Her death is a
loss to all. She was a good and
faithful Christian. Her testimony
was very cheering. She said, “I
shall be in heaven now in five or
ten minutes.” Sure enough, in
about that time she was gone to
rest. Brother Johnson, you and
your children have onr sympathies
and prayers; we commend you to
the Lord in your hours of sad and
sore affliction.

GEORGIA'S SHAME CONSUM
MA TED.
The house of Representatives of
Georgia on Tuesday, to its shame
be it said passed the Glenn bill
making it a misdemeanor, the pun
idiment of which is labor on the
ch>»h'-gang, for a teacher to in
struct wbi e and colored children in
the same school, by a vote of 124 to
2, the negative votes being cast by
the colored members. Hons. A.
Wilson of Camden and L. Crawlord
of Mclntosh made earnest speeches
against the perpetration of the
crime against their race and against
the Constitution, the
common law, and the principb 8
of the Republic Their appeals
were in vain and the monstrosity of
1887 was passed by the immediate
Representatives of the people of
Georgia, ai d we have the spectacle
of hypocrisy and deceit held up to
civilization of a community who
are protesting against the wrongs
and crimes perpetrated by a power
ful government against the inhabi
tants of Ireland four thousand miles
from their shores, seeking to de
grade and crush a people who have
demonstrated that with a fair op
portunity are their equal in every
sense of the word.
Eyery honest well thinking citizen
white or black knows that no pub
lic exigency required the passage
of such a bill. The two races, so
called have been getting along
harmorniously, and satisfactorily to
each other, hence their was no ne
cessity for disturbing the existing
amicable relations. Our p ople
care nothing whether schools arc
mixed or not. They have not asked
it. But they protest moat emphati
cully against the discrimination and
humiliation intended to be heaped
upon them by the supporters of the
Glenn bill. The pioposed law
means that its advocates declare
that the colored race is and shall
ever be an inferior one. We say
the assertion is a lie the Legislature
to the contrary notwithstanding.
The measure will become a law
so far as Georgia law is concerned.
There may be no case arise under
it, but if one should arise will it.
can it be enfor vd ? Will Georgia
Couit sustain the infamy.
"Artesian City.”
Albany, Ga., August 1, 1887.
Frank Gunn, h brakesman run
ning on the B. & W. Railroad from
Brunswick to Albany happened
with a fatal accident Tuesday eve
ning on the freight due here at 7
O’clock A. M.. the coupling pin
broke leaving 4 cats in real. Frank
being on one of these applied the
brakes but the cars jumped 11 e
track and turned over, crushing
him to death. The sad Hewn was
telegraphed his wife who lives here
and nis remains was brought in on
th- fa-t m»il f>r interment. Be
leaves a wife and three children to
mourn his loss. Allen Ford one of
Albany’s most enterprising drav
nien. was «trick«n down Friday
morning with paralysis in both
arms and legs just as helpless as a
piece of rope, of which there is but
little hope of his recovery. He is
suffering very much. The Grand
Convention ot the Benevolent soci
ety convened in this city Saturday
July 30th at 10 o’cl >ck a. m. Pres
ident EL S. D ivis c died the meet
ing to order, after singing, and a
fervent prater whs offered invoking
the blessings of the Creator upon
the piece and prosperity of the
Societies and this convention. The
president then stated the object of
the convention which is to make
application to the Legislature for h
charter to impower them to have
a Grand Lodge in th ' State that
they can make it a beneficial socie
ty paying an endowment at the
death of each member. They pro
pose to levy a tax from each mem
ber of 15 to be paid in 30
days from death of member. There
were thirty-five delegates repre
senting (7) seven societies, Albany,
Jordan Groove, Sheppard, Polmv
rer. Oaky Long, and one from Lee,
and Baker Counties, each society
sending (5) five delegates. The
report showed over [2ooo]. Two
thousand members ond more than
TS 1.000,) one thousand dollars in the
treasury. Jordan Groove having
($500) five hundred dollars in its
treasury. Each society" s bolding
their own money until the grunt for
the charter has been received then
they will turn it over to the Grand
Treasurer. They are having De
signs or passwords not any secrets
about it, they have an obligation,
no person of immoral character can
be admitted as a member. Their
monthly dues are 20 cents and the
initia i >n fees is 50 cents both male
and females can be admitted as
members. When they first stirted
their society it was the object to
only care for the sick and bury the
dead. But seeing that they could
spread their arms of charity over a
broader space by caring for the sick
burying the dead and have a sum
left that soothes the thoughts of the
poor widow when death has moved
from earth her only support. Since
the organization of the society in
Albany death laid his chilly hands
upon three of tneir members, and
all the care that kind friends could
bestow npon them was done and
they then laid their friend away in
a most respeciiul manner. These
societies will be a success, if there
is unity in this work. “For where
there is unity there is strength.”
These societies originated from the
burial of an Odd-Fellow, Septem
ber 1884 at Jordan Grove, by the
members of Philander Lodge, No.
232, G. U. 0. of 0. F. of this city
those people seeing how they were
performing the ceremonies made
enquiries what was it and what it
cost, hearing the cost resolved to
commence them a society. That
same year they organized one at
that, place and in a year they had
them organized in six different
place, now they number seven. (7)
and are doing a great work relieving
the sick and bury the dead. Their
officers are as follows: President,
H. S. Davis; Secretary, Thomas E.
Williams; Treasurer, Joseph Arm
si rong. Albany will be the head
quarters for the Grand Council.
They will meet again the 24th uh.
Times seems very dull though rain
is plentiful.
