MISSISSIPPI PAvEs THE WAY.

The brakes were put on in time
Ok the Mississippi Grand Lodge of
Masons to avert possible future
disaster to that great and powerful
organization
When New Jersey was notified
that in the Judgment of Mississippi
Masons, uhe negro should not, could
not and would not be admitted to
Fellowship, the way was blazed for
other Southern states to follow.
And it is certain that they will
follow Mississippi's lead
More than this, it is certain that
The warning conveyed BY this action
will result In the masonic bodies Of
the East and West being more care
full in the future
The majority Of them, at least.
will respect the wishes 81 their
Southern brethren and win black
ball black applications in the the III
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1909-02-25

IuT0.
This leading of on the part Of
the Masons calls to mind the fact
that Mississippi always leads.
What q grand old state it is and
what priceless heritages 1t will hand
down to future generations, besides
the good OF the present day and time.
Mississippi Masons were the first
to declare against negro member
ship. Mississippi was the first state
to throw off carpet bag rule and
restore the government to it's rightful
rulers.
It was the first state to make a
constitution that practically elimin-
ated the negro vote.
1t was the first state to pass
separate coach law.
In thus going SO far toward a So
luton of the race question, Mis-
sissippi has led all other Southern
states.
The genius of her statesmen, who
have placed the imprint of their
patriotism and devotion upon her
constitution and statues has lighted
the way of her sister states to fol
low.
With a firm hand, the Masons took
hold of what might have become a
perplexing question and settled it.
Proud old state; brave men and
true patriots! Meridian, Dispatch.
