CHE GRAND LODGE MEETS, TRANSACT.'
CONSIDERABLE BUSINESS—CELE
BRATES st. John’s day—and is
ROYALLY ENTERTAINED.
The 34th semi annual communica
’ion so the Most Worshipful Grand
Lodge of Free And Acceptod Ma
sons for the S'ate of Georgia con
vened in Albany, Ga., on Friday
June 24, at 10 o’clock a. m., Grand
Master A. K. Desverney, presiding'
A large delegation was present and
about twenty-five lodges were re
presented. The session was very
harmonious and considerable busi
ness was transacted. Two charters
were granted and encouraging re
ports were received from most of
the Lodgos.
The delegates were met at the
depot hy the brethren of Albany
with a brass band, and were escort
ted to the r various places of abode.
On Friday afternoon the Grand
Lodge assembled at the Masonic
hall, a large and commodious build
ing owned by King Solomon Lodge
and the Odd Fellows jointly, and
formed for a public parade in hon
or of St. Johns day. In front of
the hall the Grand and Subordinate
Lodges halted and faced about
when a most admirable picture of
the line was taken showing the
Temple in the back ground. The
Daily News and Advertiser thus
describes the celebration:
“Yesterday was a gala day in the cir
cles of colored Masory in Albany. King
Solomon’s Lodge of Albany prepared a
programme for a fitting celebration of
the Feast of St. John, the Patron Saint
of Masonry, and extended invitations to
lodges of neighboring cities, which
were accepted by the St John’s Lodge.
No. 7, of Americus, and St Luke’s
Lodge, No. 26, of Camilla.
The Albany lodge and their visiting
brethren formed at the hall of King
Solomon's Lodge, and preceded by a
brass band from Cuthbert, paraded
through Broad street and filed down
Washington to the colored Methodist
church, where the programme arranged
for the occasion was carried out.
Grand Warden F W McArthy, of
King Solomon’s Lodge arose, and in
behalf of his Lodge, extended a warm
welcome to the visitors. His speech
was a graceful tribute to the purity of
the principles of Free and Accepted
Masonry.
The welcoming speech being deliver
ed. Past Grand Master and Grand
Secretary J fl Deveaux, of Savannah,
was introduced. This speech was re
plete with historic information of the
O»igin and progress of Masory which
was traced like a bright line through
the history of all civilized lands. The
style of the oration was chaste and
lucid.”
Mrs Jane T Lee then read a very
admirable essay intitled “My hon
est convictions of the Masonic Fra
ternity,” which was received with
the greatest maeifestations of pleas
ure by the large audience.
At night a grand banquet was giv
en at toe hall in honor of the Grand
L »dge and St John's Day. No labor
or expense stood in the way of
making the affair a success, and the
brethren of Albany, ably assisted
by lbe noble hearted ladies of the
Artesian city, did themselves the
greatest credit on the occasion.
Taken as a whole the event was
one of the grandest ever participa
ted in by the Fraternity in Georgia.
Knights of Pythias.
The New York Freeman in a
recent issue publishes the following
from the Boston Herald of June 8 :
The gathering in the city yesterday
of colored Knights of Pythias to form
a State Graud Lodge in Massachusetts
has caused a good deal of discussion
among white Pythians. The old allc
gatiou that the black knights are not
genuine Pythians is being widely circu
lated, and, in some quitters, has gained
credence. With these facts in mind a
Herald Reporter, knowing that two of
the founders, if not the two founders,
of the order among the colored people
in the country were in attendance at
the convention, waited upon them late
last evening to obtain all the informa
tion possible in regaad to the matter
These gentlemen are Dr. E. A. Wil
liams, the supreme vice-chancellor of
New Orleans; and the supreme keeper
of records and seal, W. H. Carter of
Richmond, Va.
Mr Carter, in response to a question
as to the genuineness of the colored
order, said; “Mr D 'Uglasa of Boston
and others have attempted to make us
out bogus Pythians. The attempt will
prove a failure. The colored Knights
of Pythias in America are as good and
as genuine as ady among the other
race. We have the same work, rituals,
degiew, | asswor-ls. g p md o’btr
sign ,of the fraternity. The only dif
ference between the two is in the
*emi-a mual passwords, which emanate
In m each of the supreme lodges. This
is the only thing that prevents the col
ored knights from entering the lodges I
of the whites, and vice versa. We I
cover our key and Sampson just as
strongly, and can spur our men to deeds
of bravery as effectually as the whites.”
“You said that your work, rituals,
etc', were just the same as those of the
white Knights of Pythias; would you
mind stating how you secured them
from the whites, who were not willing
that colored men should enter the
order? asked the reporter.
“We came in possession of the work
through those who were, at the time, in
good standing in the order. We
bought them from Pythians high in
the order, who were regarded by their
fellows as the foremost men in the or
ganization. The time that we secured
the work was Feb. 24, 1864, though a
primary meeting was held on the 19th
for the same purpose. We obtained the
work on the condition that we should
remain in a separate and distinct body
from the white knights; that is to say,
in separate lodges. The work was
delivered to us by Justin H. Rathbone,
the founder of the order in the United
S ates. The ritual prepared previous’y
by Mr - Rathbone was adopted, and a
c mmittec, with Rathbone as chairman,
was appointed to prepare an additional
copy.
In reply to inquires in what section
of the country the society was first
started among the colored people, and
as to membership, wealth, and so on,
Mr Williams answered: “It originated
in the South. It has a membership of
about 6,000 There a-e in Louisiana
six ledges, and property amounting to
ab ut SIOO,OOO. In Mississippi there
are seventeen lodges that own property
worth SIOO,OOO. In Kansas there
are ten lodges owning property valued
at about $50,000. Virginia has ten
lodges that own property worth about
$75,000. Maryland has six lodges,
and their property is worth over $25-
000. Missouri has twelve lo dges
whose property is worth something like
$50,000- in Texas there are fourteen
lodges, who own property valued at
about S4O 000, Pennsylvania has five
lodges, and they own property to the
amount of $45,000. In Massachusetts
there are five lodges, but the statistics
in regard to them are not yet collected.
Alabama boasts four lodges, whose
property is worth about $22,000.
There are ten grand lodges in the
United States, and about fifteen divis
sions.
Dr. Williams and Mr Garter go from
here to Ohio, Alabama. Kentucky and
other points in the South to institute
other grand and subordinate lodges.
