PRINCE HALL MASONS
HOLD ANNUAL SESSION
Prince Hall Masons of the
Jurisdiction of Georgia met in
annual session, June 9-12, at
Augusta. The Order of Eastern
Star met at the same time.
This is the fifth time these
affiliated bodies have held
their meetings in the same city
at the same time.
These Masons are proud of
the fact that they are the only
legitimate Negro Masons in the
United States, a fact attested by
their unbroken descent from
the illustrious Prince Hall to
whom the charter was granted
by the Mother-Offa)i(J Lodge of
EngLand, September 29, 1784,
which is preserver!*under lock
and key in the vaults of a
Boston bank. This is the only
original charter in existence in
America and establishes beoynd
question the authenticity of
Prince Hall Masons who proud¬
ly trace their heritage to Prince
Hall.
During the four day session
of the Grand Lodge and Grand
Chapter, addresses were receiv
ed from persons of both local
and national prominence.
Reports from the o f ficers of
both bodies showed them to be
in good financial and numeri¬
cal condition and revealed that
Masons are meeting their obli¬
gations to society and to people
in need of help and encourage¬
ment. They support substantial¬
ly such worth-while projects as
National Foundation for Infan¬
tile Paralysis, Cancer Research,
Negro College Fund and scho¬
larships for deserving youth.
All officers were re-elected
for the ensuing year. The
Grand Lodge voted to hold its
next annual communication in
the city of Albany.
John Wesley Dobbs of Atlan¬
ta is the grand master, E. C.
F’ackshear is the Grand Secre¬
tary and Donald Thomas is the
grand treasurer.
The Grand Chapter officers
of the Order of Eastern Star
are Mrs. Marie B. Cooper, grand j
matron; George W. Smith
grand patron; Mus. Lillian
Blake, grand associate matron;
Mrs. Fannie Smith, grand sec¬
retary; Mrs. Willie Williams,
grand treasurer; Mrs. Mary II.
Jones, grand lecturer; Mrs.
Amy Dunn, chairman of foreign
correspondence; and Mrs. Olivia
Robinson, grand juvenile ma¬
tron.
The citizens of Augusta spar¬
ed no pains and left no stone
unturned in the effort to make
the stay of the delegates and
visitors pleasant and to main¬
tain their- reputation as hospi¬
table hosts.
