FRANKLIN LODGE No. 96, A.F.M., is a fraternal organization that admits, makes, and passes Freemasons according to the Code and Constitution, Laws, and Edicts of the Grand Lodge of South Carolina, Ancient Free Masons. Its goals are to advance the moral and social interests of its membership; to foster good citizenship, honest industry and upright living; to cultivate the exercise of charity in its best and broadest sense; to assist the widows and orphans of its deceased members; to stimulate friendship, harmony and brotherly love, and generally to promote, in its own way, the happiness of mankind --- it is a Fraternity of good men, linked together by honorable and indissoluble bonds, to accomplish these noble purposes, eschewing all interests in factional politics and sectarian religion and free from the dictation of both.
The Grand Lodge of South Carolina, A.F.M., through contributions supplied by Franklin Lodge and other Masonic lodges throughout the State of South Carolina, contributes to the relief of distressed and needy brothers of the fraternity. The Grand Lodge of South Carolina supports and makes contributions to the Masonic Services Association and Board of Masonic Relief, which ensure that.
