HAYGOOD, Attieus Green, clergyman, born in Watkinsville, Georgia, 19 November, 1839. He was graduated at Emory college, Georgia, in 1859, and licensed to preach in the Methodist Episcopal church in the same year. In 1870-'5 he edited the Sunday school publications of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, and in 1876 he was elected president of Emory college, where he remained eight years. He was appointed general agent of the "John F. Slater fund" in 1883, for the education of colored youth in the southern states, and has since devoted himself to this work and to efforts for the progress of the negro race. In 1872 he was elected bishop in the Methodist Episcopal church, south, but declined. In 1878-'82 he edited the " Wesleyan Christian Advocate." Emory college conferred on him the degree of D.D. in 1870, and the Southwestern university, Texas, that of LL. D. in 1884.
