Masonry Among Wild Men.

While a young man and soon after
moving from his native home in Ken
lucky to his plantation in Mississippi,
Jeff Davis bought a cargo of negroes
just brought over from Africa by a
native slave trader, who ran the block
ade and landed them at New Orleans.
While they were working in the bot
tom fields one day Mr.. Davis observed
his new negroes making Masonic
signs to the overseer. That individual,
not being a Mason, thought the ne
groes We're only carrying IN a system
of signals of preparation to revolt and
vas about to have them whipped. Mr..
Davis stopped this proceeding He
tested the negroes thoroughly and to
his amazement discovered that they
were Third Degree Masons, THOUGH
brought from the very heart of Afri-
a Being a Mason himself, you can
giving them their freedom and choice
of either returning to Africa or re-
provide for them in some other way.
Most of them were shipped to Africa
at Davis expense, though some of
them remained with him to the end.
