In 1884 the Lodge by Resolution, made a generous contribution for the fitting up of a room at “Mt. Vernon.” this room formerly ‘‘the dining room of the Washingtons,” this to be known as ‘‘the South Carolina Room.” The Records mention a matter which is of special interest to the Lodge, and it is the presentation by P: M. * Arc’d L. Campbell, to the D. D. Grand Master, on his annual visitation to Unity Lodge, an “Old Seal” bearing date 1765, which was handed down to the Isxlge, and tradition teaches that this Seal antedated any other in our possession. It is to be regretted that more information is not given in regard to th)s old seal, so far as its relation to Unity Lodge is con cerned, when it is remembered that ac-qnations of this character have so n uch to do in making history. A well established recent work on the History oi Free Masonry tells us. ' Ihat the first Masjnic Lodge in' South (Carolina was warranted in 1725 by L>rd Weymouth. Grand Master of The Grand L>dge of England, and was granted to Solomon’s Lodge at Charleston. Its first meeting was held on Thursday. October 28, 1736. In this year the Earl of London, then Grand Master of England, issued a deputation to John Hammerton (who was the first Master of Solomon’s Lodge as above stated,) appointing him Provincial Grand Master of South Carolina. Hammerton acting under this au thority organized a Provincial Grand Lodge on Dec. 27, 1736, which continued until 1777,” and there is further account in the Same Vol. “of the warranting other Lnlges.” Now, if Unity Lodge was not among them, how is it ex degree of work that puts us among those who are reaching for the top of the ladder. Let me not close this history without reference to the beautiful eulogy written by our esteemed and worthy brother, P. M. Jno. D. Edwards, one ever faithful to “The Old Mother.” that he has always loved, and in younger days served with zeal and tireless labor. The eulogy was made on the death of P. M. Robert Black. This re ference is made, not because of ita extravagant praise, or highly colored sentences, but because of ita splendid manly tone, telling the story of a worthy brother’s life, with an honest tongue by one who knew him well and respected him sincerely—a brother’s tribute to a brother: And now my task is through excepting certain data that we desire should go on record. Since the organization in 1825, there has been raised to the “Sublime Degree of Master* Mason” 281ibrethren, and received by “Demit” 54, not having Tad previous membership with this Lodge, making a total of 335, and this is as complete a roll as can be made. The brethren who have been honored to preside over the Lodge since 1825, are: Jno Oswald. Wm. R. White, James W. Monk, Robert Barnwell Smith, Malachi Ford, A. Campbell, M. E. Cam, S. Sampson, J. W, Burbridge. A. L. Campbell, H. Hyroe, Jr., S. Chaplin, F. W. Frazier, C. B. Farmer, J. D. Edwards, W. H. Bellinger, Robert Black, H.W. Black, C. W> Ulmer, M. P. Hiott, B. H. Padgett. J. S. Gritfin.‘W. W. Martin, J. M. Klein P M. Murray, J. E. Moore, J. H. Peurifoy, J. A. Westerberg, E. T. H. Shaffer, P. M. Buckner, and M. P. Howell. Of course, during the long period of years, from 1825 to 1910, a number of these brethren have served repeatedly as Worship ful Master, the record only states that these named have occupied the Chair, and no others. In this con nection it is worthy of mention, the “Charter Membership in 1825, - .■ CROSBYBERRY A marriage of considerable inter- «*st was that of Miss Eliza Crosby to Mr. Tommie Berry, which took place at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Galop Crosby, on February th 1 27th. The only at tendants were Miss l)i 11a Crosby, a sister of the bride, and Mr. Richard Crosby. The cereihony was per formed by Rov. Durant in the pres- encc of only a few relatives and friends. The bride was beautifully gowned in white. The groom is a prosper ous yciting man of Ruffin, and their many friends wish for them a long and prosperous life. 4 7~t How Good News Hpreada. “I am 70 yaart old and traval moat of tbc time.” writes B F.
