master every detail of a large Organiza-

one of our ablest leaders and knowing
the peculiar needs of the race, Colonel
mendations that will mean much to the
furtherance of the splendid progress
the fraternity Is making throughout
the state under his leadership. His ad-
dress was enthusiastically received.
and he was given a great ovation when
he concluded his speech.
The reports Of the other grand lodge
officers showed Unprecedented prog
ress Of the fraternity In his district
for the past year. The endowment
department is in fine shape. Yhe re-
port of Grand Secretary Johnson Of
Salisbury, N. c., was another peril
nent feature of the business sessions.
The city auditorium. one OF the finest
in the south, was packed with "A, rep
resentative audience Of both races to
witness the public exercises of the dis
trict grand lodge.
The mayor of the city delivered the
welcome address on behalf of the city.
He gave many interesting facts rela-
tive to the progress OF the Negro in
Raleigh and indicated that the splen-
did relationship between the races was
due in large measure to Intelligent
leadership.
Insurance Commissioner james
Young, one of the chief speakers, high
ly complimented the heads of the en-
dowment departments of this frater-
nifty and also those OF the Masonic or
de-. He said that the endowment de-
partment of the Masons of this juris-
diction was the best of Its kind among
Ou- people and that this condition was
brought about largely through bust
ness methods used by the leaders Of
these secret orders.
The Rev. c. S. Brown, DR.. r. b. Nc
Rary, Colonel James II. Young and
other members OF the grand lodge in
official capacity made the delegates
and visitors welcome to all the busi-
ness and social features of the session.
The opinion prevails that the order will
receive many new members during the
coming year on account of the splendid
way in which the work in the state Is
being conducted. The recent session
from every point Of view was one Of
the very best in the history of the or
ganization in this state.
The local lodges and Households Of
Ruth rendered the delegates n grand
banquet Mt Shaw university. which
was easily the leading social event of
the session. The grand street parade
was carefully arranged and was Wit
messed by thousands as the grand
lodge delegates passed along the prin-
cipal streets of the city. The various
companies OF patriarchs received hearty
applause as they executed skillful ma
