Thorton, New York City., D< ar Sir; ? We are astonished to learn that an I attempt haa been made by irresponsible persons connected with the socalled Prince Hall Masons to injore the Key stone Oraad Lodes of A. F, & A. Ma seru of North Carolina and you person ally by gross misrepresentation! of what occured during a trial recently had in the Saperior Court of this county held in Louisburg. Everybody present at the trial knows that neither the reg ularity of the order of which you ara a Past Grand-Master of th? state of New Tork, its legality, nor its standing ware assailed directly or indirectly during the said trial. On Che contrary, all the tes timony which in anyway related to the order waa given by members and officers of it and was of cpurse entirely favorable. There waa no suggestion throughout the whole trial in any degree derogatory to ths order nor has there ever beea any attempt since we have practiced here, a period of twenty years, to bring any sort of charge against the order, and how any honest ?tan can pretend that the integrity or legality of the order waa on trial dur ing the last term of our eourt is beyond oar comprehension. Our acquaintance with the merits of the order is limited to what we have learned si nee several of its lodges were established in this tounty and we say unhesitatingly that it numbers among iU members ihany of the very beat citizens of your raee. In deed we knew of no other organization ia the county which is supported by as many colored men of character, means, and standing. The officers of the va rious lodges in this Montr are known to us and the state of North Carolina does not contain colored men of higher character. We do not think that you need feel concerned over any attack or criticism aimed at your order based opoa anything which has occured in this county for the truth is that its causa haa been helped and aot hurt by toe efforts which hare been made to die ?redit It. Yours truly. W. H. Yarborough. Jr. ? SPROfLU & Hou?i< Attorneys. Ws endorse the above. Bar T. Hold en, Mayor, of Lou ia burg, N, C. or Franklin Oooatr, ?? v. J. B.
