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. Seersucker suits for $1.50 at Basch. 177 Congress street, —* • ♦ —.
