ESTABLISHED IN CHARLESTON. 1801 (By D. Ii. Davidson) Tho supremo council -ot the thirty-third degree of tho Ancient and Accepted Scottish Kite of Krecmagonry for tho southern ju risdiction of tho United Statca. mother supreme council of tho world, was organized May 31, 1881 at Charleston, South Carolina. It exercises Jurisdiction ovor tho en- tiro United States, except those states east of the Mississippi river and north of the Mason and Dixon line and the state of Delaware, which territory was ceded to" the northern Masonic jurisdiction A. A. 8. II.," operating under the informal French translation of the Latin constitutions of J786. The Mother Supremo Council also ex orcises jurisdiction over tho re mainder of tho world, where there i aro no other supremo councils. j It is rather a peculiar coinci dence that every other Masonic grand body of whatsoovcr rite or degrco, seeks to havo tho Mother Supromo Council of tllo Ancient and Accepted Scottish Kite lor tho Southorn Jurisdiction, approve Its regularity.
