title Ol benevolent society in this town among
the colored people. 1t has been in operation
Tor several years, and lts members want an act
OF Incorporation, to give it the same rights and
obligations in law that other simular oreaniza.
tiOns must have for mutual protection An act
OF incorporation has been applied for, which
passed the House on Thursday last. We quote
from the Legislative proceedings, az follows:
On motion Of Mr.. VOshell the bill incorpora.
ting the Beneficial Society of the Sons and
Daughters of Smyrna was taken up for con
sideraton. 1t was read, when Mr. Yoshell
explained that the oorporators we're colored
persons and that the Society, as its title indi
Gated was to be beneficial in its character. He
could not see why it should not pass 1t could
do no harm and might do away with much of
the prejudice which the negro has been
taught to entertain towards the Democrats
Mr.. Collins asked If II was the bill which the
Committed on Interpretations had failed to
agree on.
Mr.. Nowland answered that it was.
Mr.. Collins asked why they had 80 failed to
agrse, but as Mr. Nowiand could not tell and
no other member of the committee seemed in.
clined 20, the bill was read a third time and
passed By yeas Ia, nays 2-Messrs Todd and
