Held in Eufaula, November, 1893. Rev. J. P. Barton, of Talladega, was
elected president, and Rev. R. T. Pollard, secretary. Hon. Ad. Wimbs,
of Greensboro, was a member of this Convention. Drs. Morehouse and
McVicar, of New York, were with us; also Dr. Crumpton, who represented
the Southern Baptists. Many changes were made upon the Board of
Trustees. A committee was appointed to plan a change in our school
charter. The session was stormy and far from pleasant. Dr. Pettiford
made a good financial report. Rev. S. L. Ross was Sunday school
missionary. Dr. Dinkins made a good beginning as president of Selma
University. Rev. Lewis Brown was elected treasurer.
