ber of legal matters; arising
out of Abbott’s will has been

and remained at that post for
30 years. He was elected five
times as delegate to the Repub¬
lican National convention dur¬
ing the years of his college
presidency. He quit Georgia
State Industrial college in 1921
and came here to found the
Citizens and Southern Bank &
Trust company, which he head¬
ed until his death.
Maj. Wright acquired ins ti¬
tle of major during the Span-
ish-American war by an act oi
pointment as paymaster.. Prior
to the war, he served as U. S.
deputy marshal for the south¬
ern district of Georgia.
Major Wright has been ac¬
claimed as one of the nation’s
shrewdest financiers. His bank
was one of the first here to re¬
sume business following the
pibsidential order reminding
the “bank holiday” in 1933.
During the period of its ex¬
istence, his bank never borrow¬
ed or sold any of its assets tc
make payments. He took the
lead in trading with foreign
countries and during the de¬
pression imported Haitian cof¬
fee through his Haitian Import
company.
Major Wright was elected
president of the National Negro
Bankers association 14 times,
which was the subject for a
feature story in Times maga¬
zine in 1939 to depict the riise
of a slave boy to become one
of the nation’s financial wiz¬
ards.
Hfs other achievements in¬
cluded organizing the first
state teachers association in
Georgia in 1879, which he serv¬
ed as president; urging the fed¬
eral government to issue the
Booker T. Washington postage
stamp in 1939, and the promo¬
tion of National Freedom day,
celebrated on February 1, in
commemoration of Abraham
Lincoln’s freedom of Negro
slaves on January 3 , 1863.
During the uays he attended
Sunday school classes taught
by General O. O Howard, a
union officer, lie sent a mem¬
orable message to the people of
the north upon Gen. Howard’s
request. The general’s little Ne¬
gro student told him to “tell
them we are rising, general.”
Among the many clubs and
organizations with which Maj-
Wright was affiliated are
the Elks, the American Histo¬
rical association, the Academy
of Political Science and the
AME church. His achievements
earned him a place in “Who’s
Who in America."
He is survived by six of his
