EXPLAINS HISTORY OF NEGRO
MASONRY.

waterloo. Especial to Bystander.)
-"Negro. Masonry in tt United
States" was the subject Of An inter-
esting paper, prepared by Rev. =. Il.
Haywood, and read last week 1t the
regular, meeting Of Waterloo lodge.
!, No. 105,. Az. 4 A. NJ, in the. Ma
sonic temple.
Rev. Haywood's study Of Negro
Masonry Was very simple, adhering
to the facts Of the, case and steering
clear Of the controversial side Of the
dihicult subject. After confessing
to the difficulties Of the theme and
to the scarcity Of literature bearing
thereon he told the story Of how the
first Negro lodge Of Masons was or
ganized in America He said that in
1775 q Negro named Prince Hall and
fourteen associates were initiated in
an army lodge stationed in or near
Boston. .t.On March g. LISA, this
group Of men. obtained warrant
from the grand lodge OF Eng land aem-,
towering them to form . Masonic
lodge. Owing to delays the warrant
did not reach them until April %,
1887. On May 6 Of that same year
the lodge was regularly organized,
with Prince Hall as master, for which
reason Negro Masonry in this coun-
try came to be called Prince Hall Ma
sonry. LIZ
"This lodge initiated many MEM
bers from various localities who in
turn, as was then the custom, organ
lied other lodges. These lodges aftsr-
ward organized = grand lodge. From
the grand lodge all subsequent Negro,
lodges have derived their existence
and their legality.
''The regularity Of Negro Masonry
was not questioned for . hundred
years. Today it has turned out
that many white Masons are ques-
tioning the legality Of Negro Ma
sonry, but for my part believe that
the Negro lodges can show Is true .
lineage rs any white lodges"
Rev. Haywood then raised the ques-
ton, "What should be the present At
titude of white lodges toward then
Negro brethren :" and answered it by
saying that any individual Mason had
q right to his own opinion on the sub
ject, that the grand lodges Of each
state had>a right to deal with the
question as they may see fit, and that
while some grand lodges may choose
to fraternize with the Negro lodges
he believed the time was not ripe for
It in most states. - $, y
my own feeling u.s." he said, that
white men should maintain their own
organizations, and black men theirs,
ali members keeping in recollection
the fact that they severally belong to
the same great fraternity The spirit
of Masonry is Of ample strength to
bridge over any racial cleavage, ~
thing it is free to do whether or not
white grand lodges and Negro grand
lodges recognize each other officially
or moi"
The speaker closed by reminding
his hearers that Masonry, neither in
its law or in its purposes, recognizes
any social or race difference and that
the one cure for any differences OF di-
visions among Masons lis more, Ma
sonry." #G 49, 3ss; a:s,'.

THE NORTHERN NEGRO'S DUTY
To SOUTHERN IMMIGRATION.

Within the past ten months there
has been . great migration OF colored
laborers with their families from the
southern states. In fact statistics
show that from the state Of Georgia
and Alabama the exodus Of colored
people to northern states has aver
aged more than = thousand . day
from these two states for hte past 100
days: So great is this migration
from the southland that the white peo-
pie of the south have begun to pass
laws preventing the colored people
from leaving the south and to prevent
any northern agents or any person
from soliciting the eolored laborers to
leave the southland. The great ques-
ton comes to US now, What is the
duty of the northern Negro, or those
of us who are up here toward those
who have recently come up from the
south! First, we should be glad
that they have the. courage and en-,
erky and common SENSE enough to
leave this land Of bondage .oppres-
sion, slavery, segregation and dis
elimination, etc. Second, we should
extend to them the hand of welcome
and help secure for them employment
and aid them to make good, peaceable,
citizens.
Third, we should give to them m
opportunity to make success in this
We would say 60 to the
farms, to the workshops, to the fac
tories and truck gardening, etc. The
great northwest can use at least L.
BOO 900. Let US not snub or turn our
backs upon them, but open our doors,
give them shelter and lind work for
Them. l know some Of them will be
bad, but what of that? Were not
some Of us up here already bad.
Don't think of that, but do your duty,
follow the golden rule, do unto them
Is we would that they should do unto
Us, and humanity will praise you and
God will bless you. ~- q @''''

CAMPBELLVILLE.

Everybody is optimistic in their
views about crops this year. Winter
wheat could not look better, and con
siderable of the spring grain is up and
looking fna. The severe winds the
past week sort of blew away some of
the enthusiasm of the most enthused,
but as yet no material damage has been
done to any of the crops. All the dry
farmers talk about now is summer fall
low. They finally have come to the
conclusion that the only way to farm
and farm successfully is to farm on
IA scientific basis, something they
should have started in with in the first
place, and they would have been sew
eral hundred dollars to the good today,
instead of being that much out.
w. II. Keller was home to spend
Easter. He is teaching east of Thomas.
Campbellville has been somewhat de-
serted the past six months but although
deserted, it has not been forgotten, as
last Saturday evening plainly demon
strated Some of the neighbors of Mr..
and Mrs. j., A. Campbell, of Flagtown,
took it upon themselves to enjoy a treat
as well as to infuse new life in Camp
bellville by congregating there and cele-
brating Easter. AS the place has been
devoid of cook, as well as others, they
all came prepared by bringing refresh
ments along, and about midnight an
elegant repast was served, consisting of
coffee, cake and sandwiches, and all
thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The
music was furnished by H. +. Gibson
on his fine Victor Victrola, and the
young people enjoyed themselves dane
ing, while the older folks looked on
and gossiped about farming. Mr.. and
Mrs. Andy Gansky, Mr.. and Mrs. j. A.
Campbell, Mrs. Fife Mabbott, Misses
Mazel and Jessie Speaker Mabel Gal
braith, Nettie Robinson Blanche
Smith; Messrs. Ed Galbraith, II. f.
Gibson, Clarence and Everett Speaker,
Frank Simpson, b. w. and NARROW
Campbell, w. II. and Philip Keller,
Henry and Albert Sova, and John Me.
Cornell were the guests present.
School closed last Friday with neat
and approximate ceremonies in the aft
ernoon. The program was well rem.
dered and was enjoyed by several of the
parents of the children of the district
Miss Winkler, the teacher, gave the
best of satisfaction and the trustees
could not do better than to engage hel
for another year.
Mr.. and Mrs. Norman Howard spent
Easter with Mrs. Howard's parents in
Blackfoot.
Mrs. r. B. Ferris was called to Mis-
souri, by the serious illness of her moth
err, and we are informed that her moth
mother passed away and was buriet
before she arrived at home. She ha.
the sympathy of her neighbors in hel
bereavement.

AUTOMOBILE NEWS.
Read and Discover the Most Econom-
ical Engine.

"While the economy of the sleeve

equipped with this type of motor y
says John N. WHY'S, of the WHY'S
Overland Co., Little attention has
heretofore been paid to it's economical
operation, principally because hereto
fore it has been sold only at high
price and the owners were not as vital
Iy interested in the cost of gasoline as
the buyers of more moderately priced
cars "We realized from the be-
ginning continued Mr.. WHY'S, "that
while the sleeve valve motor was prin-
cipally known for it's ability to improve
with use, it's power, reliability and
freedom from repairs, sooner or later
its pronounced economy would take first
rank with it's other sterling qualities.
Now that the motor has been placed
within the reach of the average buyer,
we find from what our owners tell us
that our judgment has been more than
vindicated and our dealers all over the
country are receiving the most flatter
ing reports of gasoline consumption.
"Of late there has been considera-
bile confusion in the minds of motor
lists IN connection with power and gas
oline consumption, and this we find to
he the case because the vast majority
Ct motors developing high power are,
to use the motorists own words, gas
caters. With the Knight sleeve valve
motor exactly the opposite holds true,
for we secure high power, but do so
without using an excessive amount of
gasoline. This is accomplished because
the valve action is positive, smooth
and certain the valves always opening
and closing properly, the same as the
valves on steam engine; second, be-
cause the compression never leaks, and
as consequence all gas taken into the
cylinder is used, and third, because the
explosion chamber is practically round
in shape and has the spark plug To-
Gated directly over the center of the
piston, delivering the full force of the
blow straight downwards. The com
bination of these three essential feat
ures is directly responsible for the
wonderful results which this motor
gives, and as a result we find that rare
combination of a motor which at one
and the same time is economical, pow
erful and speedy. ADV.
