The Free and Accv'ptgd Masons
held one of the greatest Grand
Lodges in Columbia last week
than ever before in all of the history
of this state. Hon. J. S.-~
Stanback, Grand Master, made
the best annual address that was
ever delivered before a Masonic
Grand. Communication. It was
distributed, in pamphlets to every
delegate before it was read
Grand Secretary, J. E. Dickson'sannual
report almost spell bound
the grand lodge. Since his coming
into office he has succeeded in
reducing the debt on the Masonic
property in Columbia from $30,000
to $1 ,R0ff Therefore we were able
to burn the mortgage on the Ma
sonic Temple, at the close of the
memorial service at Zion Baptist
church, Tuesday evening. This
wltl bHhg thousands of?members'
in Free and Acepted Masonry the
next coming year. All officers

did not only receive a proemotion
in the grand lodfte, but
was elevated to an_exalte|tl position

features of the gfand session
was a lecture on the/chart by St
Julian Holmes, of Charleston.
The Southern System
Reduced holiday fares, are now
given on all lines operated by the
Southern Railway ' Company. Not
only Negroes, but everybody is
taking advantage of these -rates.
They extend until the 10th of
January, 1941. The Southern
handled the delegates to the A.
M. E. General conference. It also
carried the women jto the Quad
rennial Missionary * convention.
The Baptist ministers' made choice
of it for their National convention
none of these bodies had a single
complaint to make. But on the
other hand all of them wer1 loud
in their praises of the accommoda
tions gi' en by this company. Individuals
will never go wrong
when they travel by the system
whose motto is to serve the south.
The Southern has always given
our racial group the very best
a consideration, and it Would-appeal
to be an act of ingratitude on our
part t o sliuht this mammoth
company. We represent this com
pany, and advise everybody to
take advantage of the low rates
offered which are in effect now.
V See your local ticket agent for
information as to these amazing
low rates.
Christmas Holidays
Its a pity the way Negroes are
planning to drink, liquor, during
the next two or three weeks. Despite
the fact that wars are raging
and inno.cent people are being
slaughtered because of sin those
of -us who are living in a country
of~ peace" are not the least concerned.
At a time like this we
should be sober, and should tune
in with God in jntgrest of the un:
fortunates of those nationn. While
crimes seem to be on the increase
among all' nations, Negroes are
playing their part. It is true the
better people of our race regret
this fact, but, there is a good foi
nothing"""?(Tt among us that are
committing some of the worse
crimes that call for'capital punishment
for which they will not
escape. It is that class who cares
nothing for the church, nor the
gospel ministers until they get into
trouble. Then their families
importune ministers' unions for
aid, advice, and special consideration.
It is sad, but it will take
the chain gang, and even the electric
chair to get some Negroes
ready for heaven. Its almost dis
gusting but true nevertheless.
My advice is for Negroes to stop
v drinking liquor for many of them
haven't-, too much sense when liq- |
uor is out of them. (To be con j
Y . tinued more severely).
