THE ADAM MORSE CAS~E.
Adam Morse a colored man, was
indicted by the Grand Jury of
. Chatham couuty several months ago
for an alleged assault with intent to
.. murder upon the person of a white
conductor on the Cost Line Haitiond
The assault was said to have been
£ revoked by cruel treatment that
lorse’s boy received from the con
ductor. Morse gave bond tor his
appearance for trial as indicted but
concluded that he could not get a
fair trial and consequently left the
city and eventually reached Toronto
Canada where he is n >w held pend
ing demand lor extradition, having
been pursued by the Coast Line R.
H. authorities and the bondsmen.
The latest dispatch states that the
Judge at Toranto had decided to
give Morse up to the authorities of
Georgia for trial under the indict
ment.
The case has caused considerable
feeling in this community and it is
regarded ns persecution because it
is the first effort made by the su'
thorities to bring back any person
to answer an inictment for a crimi
nal offence, and the colored people
say that i(Morse was a white man no
effort would be mude to bring him
back.
The lesson to be learn from the
case ought to be beneficial to all oui
people black and white alike.
The question is a veay serious one
in the mind of the colored people
whether Morse has been legally in
dicted or not, and it is certainly an
open question whether any Negro
has been legally made to pay the
penalty for alleged offences in this
county. Why.
Because of the fact that no
Negro or any person who is known
to nave the slightest quanity es Ne
gro blood in his body is allowed to
serve on the grand juries of this
county. To the contrary he is sys
tematically illegally and cruelly de
prived of his rights to serve in that
body because, as everybody knows,
on account of his race and color*
The Jew, the Irish, the German
and the mixtures made of those,
combinations, are always represent
ed on the grand jury. But the col
ored man notwithstanding his prop
erty and intelligence qual fications
•re unjustly excluded from it. The
law requires that juries should be
upright and intelligent citizens.
The colored men can furnish their
propotion of such citizens as well as
any other class. But they are cru
elly excluded from the privilege
without any authority of Jaw. If
they are not excluded on account of
race and color why have they never
been represented on that august
body?
It Morse it* illegally indicted by
reason of unjust prejudice, is it just
to presume that be can obtain a fair
trial? The colored people are of
the opinion that he cannot, it is a
burning question with their, and as
the bond given by Morse has been
consideied ample, it is regarded
simply as an effort to terrorize the
race.
The Democratic conventin at St.
Louis has nominated Cleveland for
a secund term as President and A.
G. Tnurman of Ohio, as Vi e-Pres
ident. 1 i,e ticket is a week one
yet is the best one the party could
secure. Ibe Republican convention
which meets at Chicago on the 19th
will now no doubt nominate the
grand old patriot John Sherman of
Ohio for President, and whether the
man for the second place ba taken
from New A ork, or Indiana victory
is assured to tne grand old party.
But the man for Vice-President
mvst be taken from New York or
Indiana.
Who is responsible for Morse’s
fear to a trial by jury in Chatham
county for assault upon a white
man ?

TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE AT THE
TABERNACLE
OKLEBRATK THE BAPTISTS’
CENTENNIAL.
Wednesday the 6th was • great

that held the vast andienca spell
bound. His peroration was grand

details of the subject. Referring to
the claim of the First African Bap
tist as being the oldest chi r h or
ganization which was sustained by
the Missionary Association la t
Saturday, the speaker said that the
First Bryan Baptist Church’s claim
to pro ity was fully sustained by
the Sunbury Association, the first
ever organized, as shown by its re
cords. That after the division be
tween the church in the early
days the minority of the Bryan
Baptist Church was recognized
while th« First African Baptist was
not admitted antil five years after.

White, and others.

ceremonies of the Fir t Bryan Baptist
Church will take place at 3 o’clock in

If the colored int ii of Chatham
county would pay their poll taxes,
register, end subscribe aud pay for
the Tribune their grievances and
complaints would be regarded by
those whose duty it is to enforce the
law. Stop grumbling about what
ought to be done and do something
yourself.
When a man takes the law into
his own hands to avenge bis griev
ences he does so at bis imminent
risk and peril. But when he is sys
tematically deprived of his rights to
representation on the grand jury is
it human nature to expect that he
should have any expectation of re
ceiving justice in the courts?
Tompkins, Camden Co. Ga, May 25,
Editor Tribune; Dear Sir: —You
will please allow me a little space
in your valuable paper, the Tribune
as followers : The time is near at
hand for the great struggle to be
decided between the three parties
vs. Republican, Democratic and
Prohibitionist, at the ballot box
Now while we are yet to decide
who shall we nominate and elect is
what we should carefully consider
at or before the assembling of our
conventions to nominate Governor.
State bouse officers, State
Senators and Representatives in
the lower bouse; and as the Repub
lican party is not able to elect a
State ticket, why not then they as
sist the Prohibitionist in electing
their State ticket should they bring
one oui; es such a union .vouid
give the Prohibitionists of Georgia,
a new start in their work and would
before the far future break the unit
ed Democracy of Geoegia. Don’t
understand me to say apply this gen
erally throughout tne State in the
election of Senators and Represen ta
tives, but just to the Govenor and
State house aflicers, and in such
counties as has a few Republicans
Furthermore, let us support men
who are in favor of reforming the
penitentiary system of Georgia, and
better systems of educating the chil
dren of Georgia. 1 will nut use
any more of time and paper.
Yours Very Truly,
C. M. Sullivan.
