MANY OLD CHARTERS
HAVE Been APPROVED
Others Are Being Amended and New
Negro FraternaI and Benevolent So
cieties Are Sprineing Up All Over
the State.

Jackson. September 25.-Since Gov.
Noel a few days ago announced his
policy to approve such charters of
negro societies, lodges and benevo-
lent associations as conformed to GER
tain conditions, there has been no
ticed marked increase in the number
of these organizations which are max
ing their arrangements for incoporat-
ing.
1t is noticed too, that several of the
old charters which Gov Vardaman had
refused to approve, and which had
lain for months in a pidgeon-hole in
the executive office, but which were
recently returned by Gov. Noel with
the explanation that they could not
now be approved because they were
not in accord with the new form pro-
vided by the Code of 1906. have been
revised and are being published pre-
paratory to being again presented for
executive approval.
Many of these charters are in the
nature of benevolent associations, de-
signed to provide sick and death bene-
fits for members, and are apparently
in every way similar to dozens of 9TH
ers already in existence throughout
the state, many of them never going
outside prescribed territory for men,
bership or business. Some of them,
however, are state wide in their work
ings, with agents soliciting members
and policy-holders in every community
Some of the latter class, writing in
dustrial insurance under a fraternal
charter, have come under the displeas-
ure Of the state insurance department,
and others are being closely watched
by Insurance Commissioner Henry to
prevent any infringement of the insur-
ance laws, which in this state are
very strict in that regard, excluding
everything which has not a capital
stock of at least $4,000.
The distinction between industrial
and fraternal insurance lies mainly in
the fact that the latter class pays its
policies out Of funds collected in the
way of dues from it's members for that
purpose, while the former writes pol
icies for anybody, regardless of lodge
membership and presumably for profit.

New York, September 25.-In the
three great Mills hotels today thou
sands of grateful men are recalling
that this is the S3rd anniversary of
the birth of their benefactor. Darius
Ogden Mills, perhaps the greatest prac-
teal philanthropist that the age has
produced. The three mammoth struc-
lures which thousands of honest but
poverty-stricken men call "home,'
enjoying every comfort and not a few
luxuries at cost they can afford, and
that without any accusation of we'll
meaning but hateful charity. stand as
permanent monuments to the financier
who solved the problem of helping the
less fortunate borthers without doing
violence to their self-respect.
Mr.. Mills first saw the light OF day
in Westchester county, New York,
on September 25 1925. He was one
of the California 49ers and it was in
the Golden State that he laid the
foundations of his great fortune. In
1880 he invaded the metropolis and in
this city repeated on large scale the
successes that made his name a pow
er in financial circles and enabled him
to realize the dream of his life in
establishing the Mills hotels.

This day is the anniversary of the
day when Italy freed herself from
the temporal power of the Pope in

Sunday, but win be celebrated never
theless Wherever the name of Carl
baldi is loved and honored.
There will be no public celebration,
but it is likely that the Italians win
have something doing among themsel-
YES. The reason that there will be no
public demonstration of their loyalty
is because there are so few in this
city, who are numbered among the
ranks of tine Italians that there are
hardly enough. There never has
been any ceremony on this day among
the local Italians.
