With one exception the Masonic lodges in the United States to which colored people belong are not recognixed by the white lodges. The excaption is Alpha Lodge No. 116, F. & A, M., at Newark, N. J. In 1871 several Newark negroea, who had oeen made Masons in regular lodges >n foreign countries where the admission of negroes was permitted, joined with a few white Masons and obtained a charter for a lodge from the Grand Lodge of New Jersey. This lodge gradually became, colored as the white members dropped out and only negroes joined it. In 1008 the Grand Lodge of Mississippi severed Musonic relations with the Grand Lodge of,- New Jersey "until such time as the Grand Lodge of New Jersey shall 8ee fit to desist from her present practice of initiating and affiliating negroes as Masons." Only the Grand Lodge of Oklahoma followed Mississippi in severing Masonic relations with New J?r. sey and in 1914 she rescinded her non-intercourse decision, leaving the Bayou state standing alone in this respect. Alpha Lodge 116 is the only colored Masonic lodge in the United States attached to a white Grand Lodge. Since it is a regularly constituted lodge of the Grand Lodge of New Jersey, its members are recognized by the other lodges of the state. All other colored lodges in the United States are regarded as irregular by the white lodges. Negro Freemasonry came from the same source as other Freemasonry and the work o' the colored Masons is practically the same. The Masonic lodges in Cuba, Haiti and San Domingo were authorized and instituted by the white grand lodges of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania in the early part of the 19th century, and the West Indi in lodges in turn authorized the establishment of colored Masonic lodges in the United States.?The Pathfinder. I Iieavy Ccd;:* \ l.li.i Mean Lcv/-lkit Ccsis ?x The rock bottom cost o{ producing a pound of seed cotton lust year was probably 2?A cents. At least, that is what It cost the winners of cottongrowing contests in nine Southern States. An Inspection of their records shows that every one of the winners, 22 in all, side-dressed their crop. The average applicatiop was 200 pounds of Chilean nitrate per acre, applied about 45 days after planting. It is sometimes said that while the winners of crop-growing contests make high acre yields, their cost of unit production Is abnormally high. This Is far from being the case. In fact, as shown by these records, the cost of growing a pound of cotton was reduced as the yield was Increased. Corn Champions Show How to Reduce Costs An analysis of the records made in the state-wide corn grpwing contests laafi year shows that all of the winners followed the same successful practices. In fertilising the crop, every one of the side-dressod with Chilean nitrate when the plant* were knee-high* The avefage rate pf application was 266 pounds of "Soda1' an acre. The average yield of the group was 110 bnshelli an acre, nearly six times the average yield in the South. The total cost of producing a bushel was 29 cents. This figure included every item of .expense, such as seed, fertiliser, Tabor, and rent of land. 4 r Here ie proof that a hungry field of ooUoa or corn will pay big dividends for a side-dressing of quick-acting nitrogen. In thousands of supervised farm demonstrations, a dollar's worth of Chilean nitrate need on cotton reihrned $4.78 and on corn, $8.27. These figures show that even a crop appreciates a good square meaL E. R.

PLANS TO BEAT UNEMPLOYMENT By ROME C. STEPHENSON President American Humbert Association SOMK look upon unemployment to* a nodal or political problem. For thern the remedy in eompulaory accu mutation of renerve fund* on the Insurance principle through c o n t r 1 b u tlons from the govern-: ment, the employers, the employees or all ttyree. That will not meet the present emergency, since these reserve funds have not been built up and It would take yearn to <lo no. At bent this plan could only become effective at some Indefinite time In the future an against the return of another catustrophe of general unemployment. Others look upon unemployment as purely an economic problem, holdinte-JJfcit the only fundamental preventive is in business stability. It may well be asked whfther either of these cures?namely, the creation of lmomftirfvvnipnt insurance funds on the one hand or the maintenance of everlasting business stability on the other ?do not present in themselves bigger problems than the problems they seek to cure. However I am inclined to the belief that the more practical approach to the solution Qf such problems and the prevention of such situations as general unemployment presents is along the latter lines of economic foresight rather than along lines of social legislation. National Foresight Economic foresight is conceivable not only for the individual but for business as 'a whole. Millions of individuals and virtually all lineB of Industry failed to practice it during the last stages of the recent prosperity. The public welfare of the United States demands that industry aB a whole vigorously and sincerely devote Itself to the development of plans of economic foresight, aimed to prevent repetitions of the present unemployment situation. The general outlines for such plans are clearly definable. They demand that industry adopt a long range viewpoint and lay out Its production and distribution plans with the thought that it is far better to have a long period of good sound business activity than a short period of frantically over-competitive endeavor. This would tend to lessen over-production in various lines, to prevent over-expansion of plant capacity, to avoid over-stimulation of public buying and above all to avoid periods of slumps and stagnation following periods of over-stimulation with their disasters of unemployment. For business, too, there is a part in such a conception of economic foresight. It should aim to cooperate with S industry in its endeavor to avoid reckless over-production, over stocking and over-selling the public. In this picture of national economic prudence, banking and finance, too, have their place. Their effort should be to influonoe the use of credit and other financial facilities into channels of sound public economy consistent with the attitude I have already sketched for industry and trade. All finance, whether current commercial banking or ' Industrial investment banking, should seek by their influence in granting or witholding credit to stimulate and build up a balanced economic situation. The Individual Most Help Finally, the Individual too has a place In any such plan of a sounder economic future for the United States. It is the duty of the individual to make every effort to take care of himself and provide for himself. Neither government nor Industry can do that for him. They can give him the opI portunity to succeed hut they can't | aucceed for him. He must out of hit own initiative and effort earn and create his ' own meant and defenses against the requirements and contingencies of life. Individual determination to provide against sickness, acci.dont and death by insurance before inddlgences in extra comforts and luxuries are given place in the family budget, and individual responsibility to guard against the contingency of unemployment by meant of a sound program of thrift and savings are to my mind the true foundation of economic ^stability for the United States as a whole.

STEPHENSON State Takes Over j Nitrolee Bridge j Commencing l?*t week the state highway department took over the control of traffic pn the Nitrolee bridge between this city and Great rails and watchmen are now employed on both ends of the bridge to warn motorists that the structure i8 unsafe. District Engineer Steve Williams received instructions on July 11 to take over this bridge and watchmen were employed immediately to see thut no one crossed the bridge except at their own risk. Before anyone is now allowed to cross the structure they must sign a statement that they are doing so at their own risk. On both ends of this bridge are signs warning motorists that the bridge is unsafe, but in case some motorists would claim that they did not see the signs the watchmen are employed here. 1 he fact that the state highway department has taken over the bridge has led many to believe that it wul he resurfaced and nit^le into an uutomobile bridge in the near future.. At present the planking on the bridge is unsafe as no maintenance was kept on the bridge during the pas:. An eighteen foot bridge will result so that cars may be able to pass with safety. Work on the grading of Vhe road from Liberty Hill to Camden will be completed within two weeks and the top soiling of the road from Nitrolee to Belltown will also be completed soon. On the other side of the river the new road from the NitroLe bridge to the intersection with the Great balls-Chester road has not been completed, although the old road can be used. Some time ago a contract was let for the grading of a road from Fort Lawn to Nitrolee but owing to the fact thut the right-of-'way could not be secured the operations of grading the road were held up. The rightof-way matter has now been almost straightened out and work may begin soon on this route. The new proposed road from Fort Lawn to Nitrolee turns off at Fort Luwn, crossing the railroad tracks in ' the center of Fort Lawn and following an old county road a portion of the way. When the approaches to the Nitrolee bridge are built it is expected that considerable traffic will be ca-ried over the bridge as roads from Camden, Lancaster, Chester and Columbia will intersect at this point.?

C., July H6.?The Charlotte Observer says merchants of Pageland, a South Carolina town located near the North Carolina line have levied ah absolute embargo on all North Carolina goods in protest of the $50 North Carolina tax levied on all sellers of produce from outside the state. Ruby, Mount Crogan and other South Carolina towns near the state line are reported to be preparing to join in the embargo, the Observer Wl Ifft. The paper, quotes C. S. Hardy, Charlotte fruit ' salesman, as saying none of his customers at Pageland would buy anything from him today, becatxse his products are shipped from Charlotte. The merchants, Hardy is quoted as saying have agreed not to buy anythink grown,* , manufactured * in or shipped Trom North Carolina until the $50 leVy on produce sellers from outside thte state is lifted. ? This stand was taken by the marchants, Hardy .said, because of loud protests from, farmers who threatened to cut off all their trade.
