There is no neutral ground in this con-

fight by the National Democracy to elect

he does so at the expense of his duty-not

THEIR HOME.

It is not exactly clear when the lodge
got home Of its own, but from an entry
in the record of the Board of School Trus-
tees, Jan. IS, 1910, it seems likely that the
Trustees in that year sold to the Masons
for $500 sufficient room In the Academy on
New street for the lodge. The Order seems
always to have been interested in the adj
vancement of education. for three Of its
charter members, A. McClenachan, An
thony MustOe and VIM. Chambers were
members of that School Board, and when
the order gave up their lodge there, they
took in exchange for their interest in the
building, three scholarships in any private
school which might be established there,
which the. lodge holds to this day. They
occupied their lodge room IN the Academy
building until 1858, when they took pos
session OF their present quarters on Main
street. The building they now occupy
was projected as Union Hall by three gen.
tlemen, Rev. r. II. Phillips, Adam Lush
baugh and James W. Hudson. The Ma
sons occupied the second and third stories
of it and afterwards. chiefly through the
wise fundamentally of Maj. Henderson M.
Bell and the late Gen. W. H. Hartman, ac-
quired the whole by purchase. Since that,
they purchased the lot next door and cree
ted on it the handsome store occupied by
Burke & Bradley, and in the third story
of which the lodge has it's refectory.

A little over one hundred years ago,
when Staunton had about four hundred
inhabitants living in village grouped

stands, there we're about baker, dozen
of Free Masons in and around the settle
ment. Their names were-Alex. Long,

VIM. Forblsh, John Stewart. Thomas

for dispensation to form lodge, and it
was grant tSas b. che Grand Master of Ma
Sons in W.. tia, Edmund Randolph, the
first Attorney General of the United
States and member of Washington
cabinet. Under this they worked for some
months. 1t was granted at Williamsburg
where the Grand Lodge met in those days.
Their meetings were held at each other s
residences. for they had no lodge, nor did
they have any lodge for some time after
their charter was granted. On the 28th
day of October, 1855, they were granted a
charter, which still hangs in the ir hall
signed by Edmund Randolph. They orga-
nized under this charter at meeting at
which all were present, and at which The

Niche, and other noted men. Next to
Marshall Lodge in Lynchburg, it has the
largest membership of any lodge 10 the
State, and next to Roman Eagle lodge of
Danville, it is the wealthiest-the income
of Roman Eagle from it's property is
$1,000 per annum, while that of Stanton
lodge is $4,000. From its age. it has many
antiquities in its possession, and in the
procession that marched out Of the lodge,
last night, many Of the Masons wore
aprons and jewels from seventy-ive to
eighty-fve years old, which had been worn
by members who belonged to the lodge in
its early days, and who have been long
since laid in the dust.
WHAT IT HAS GIVEN TO THE ORDER.
This lodge has given to the State five
Grand Masters. In 1926, one of its Mas
tiers, David W. Patterson, former repre-
sentative from this county in the legisla-
ture, and whose apron was worn in the
procession last night, was elected Grand
Master of the Grand Lodge. In 1885, Levi
L. Stevenson, another Master. was elected
Grand Master. In 1841, J. Worthington
Smith, distinguished educator in his day
and one of the faculty of Mrs. Sheffey's
school at Kalorama, was elected Grand
Master. In 1916, James Points, U. s.
Marshal of the district. and who was so
popular that both Democratic and Wing

Gen. VIM. II. Hartman, who later in the
war fell at Waynesboro, was chosen to
the same position.
SOME OF ITS PUBLIC WORK.
Yet. with all these marked features, the
public has known little of the lodge and were
it not for its rare appearance OF the streets
in regalia, would know nothing. 1t laid
the corner stone of Trinity Episcopal
church; that of the Lutheran church in
1858; that of the Methodist church; that
of the Soldiers Monument in Thornrose
Cemetery, and that of the building it now
owns and occupies as lodge.
THE OLDEST MEMBER.
The oldest member of the lodge and
probably the Oldest Mason in the State, is
Geo. w. Fuller. Mr.. Fuller was born in
1903, and came to Staunton with his faith
er from Fredericksburg in 1910. Mr.. Full
ler's father was distinguished teacher in
England. George Washington be-
came interested in having a school at
Fredericksburg and commissioned one of
his AIDS to write to England and get
teachers. Two were procured, one being
Mr.. Fuller and the other clergyman from
Ireland. After teaching in Fredericks-
burg, Mr.. Fuller came to Staunton and
was Principal of the Academy fifteen
years, until his death. When Geo. W.
Fuller joined the lodge IN 1928, it was held

Editor San Antonio Light.
Mr.. Jefferson Davis, in his speech on
the 4th inst, at Savannah, refers kindly
to Massachusetts, and extols New York
for her commerce on every sea, and the
liberal sentiments OF her people. His
voice is in the interest Of peace. Mr..
Davis is about the age Of Mr.. Gladstone,
perhaps a little younger. Unlike the
OvatioDs to Gladstone, those to Mr..
Davis smack Of the old-world folly of
man-worshlpl
He speaks of self-gOvernment as older
than the Revolution. Mr.. Davis ought
to know that separate state indepen-
dence gave rise to the defects in the
old articles Of Confederation; that,
though indispensable in its measure,
yet, carried to extreme, is at once fatal
to nationality; and that the genuine
national spirit has been Of only gradual
growth. But now it is like the law Of
