Do Both Belong
To Same Order?
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sey and in 1914 she rescinded her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.

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.

PLANS TO BEAT

By ROME C. STEPHENSON

principle through
c o n t r 1 b u tlons

That will not

these reserve

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.

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.?

"Charlotte, N. 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.
The license tax was levied by the
1931 North Carolina legislature.
