Editor Log Cabin Democrat:

| Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
Please allow me space in your paper
| to answer an article relative to my
| doing bogus Masonic work as a Ma
son. 1t was stated in a complaint
| filed by some negroes that l, Ralph
Amos, G. M. of the A. F. and NJ. Ma
sons of the state of Arkansas had
made three Masons in 80 minutes The
parties that prove to be the author CT
such faleshood are not fit to be quoted,
but that my good name may be hon
ored with the very heavy credentials
carry and that the giver of these
very responsible papers may know
that l am trying to prove my elf
trustworthy, l take this method 20 set
my end of this business right.
l wish first to call attention to the
public that l had been informed that
the Prince Hall Masons had said some
ugly things about me in this town
and had told many falsehoods about
order to upset these very ugly sayings
called at the mayors Office and pre-
sented my entire papers of credit and
obtained authority from the chief of
your city, and then spoke to one Of
the ideal operators of divine majesty
in his very peculiar habits of trying
mems souls for accuracy, in the mean
time calling his attention to the fact
that there was a spirit of antagon ,m
that exists with my race that forced
one who desired to do right to iir3t
shape his business in that way that
should a decision be called for the
white people in authority would be
better able to decide our matter. The
plaintiffs in that suit are of a clan
destined nature, doing bogus work,
and fastened to bring the suit with
the intention of covering up their
tracks so as to keep hid, after they
straining orders against the regular
class of negro Masons of this county.
Rev. R. Amos, G. NJ, A. F. and A.
Masons of the state of Arkansas and
Masonic jurisdiction, that held his
warrant from under the grand lodge
of Romania, and they found out that
there had not been and regular re-
gro Masons in this country until this
was done They have now determined
in their minds to get by if they must
lie their way through.
| am able to prove all the way
through that they have no record nor
have they had any legal document
since they have been in existence.
They are simply bogus, clandestine, If
regular, spurious and superficial, and
trying to initiate the regular Masons.
There were three names in their hit
erature, thus showing to the world
that they have no name proper. My
record is of such that | am not asham-
cd of it anywhere and | feel grateful
that no one has had room to complain
against me, except it was an intemp-
crate class that did not love right.
Thanking you for space and assur-
Ing you that | stand for right as a
Christian minister and servant of the
noople, | am yours,
r. AMOS.
