ORIGIN OF PAUL HILL LODGE

Grand Benevolent Association, With
Headquarters In 6essemsr, Among
the Largest Of Its Kind In the United
statss-Foundsd BY Grand Master J.
=. Thomas Six Years Ago.
Bessemer, Ala.-Many are the chan
nels In this country through which the
race Is being elevated in business, COM
mercial, intellectual and financial life.
Perhaps there is none more effective In
this than the fraternal organization OF
the race throughout the country. Prom
inent among the organizations Is the
Grand Benevolent association, with
headquarters in this city, with subor-
dinate lodges spreading through Ala
bama, Mississippi, Georgia and South
Carolina and with e membership OF
10000.
The Grand Benevolent association
comes from the fertile brain OF one Of
the most worthy men OF the race. ]. F.
Thomas, who Is a recognized leader OF
men He has made his way to the
front by hard work and has reached
his present standing through industry,
honesty and reliability. He was born
In Westpoint, Ga, about thirty eight
years ago and as soon as he was old
enough began his education In the pub
lie schools such as were found IN the
rural districts Of Georgia BE was the
son Of a farmer, hence spent much OF
his early life on the farm.
BIS education was turned from the
public school to the mines Of Alabama
In 1896, where he gained much helpful
knowledge. While working In the
mines he made many friends. Among
the miners he was a recognized leader.
Being a Christian man, they sought
his advice and placed In him much
confidence While in this capacity his
leadership developed and his racial
love asserted itself. he was not con-
tented to be a mere miner. but became
a mine contractor.
After spending ten years In the
mines he decided that It was time to
get out and do something for the race

He had been robbed OF rest and sleep

With words that on his lips CONCEALED
