NEW HONOR FOR cHAs. BANKS.

Mound Bayou, Miiss.-A signal
honor has recently been conferred
upon the most distinguished citizen
of this place. This is said not in
disparagement of any of the scores of
representative Negroes who inhabit
Mound Bayou, but because of his
push, energy, undying devotion to the
entire state and his extreme loyalty
to this city. The party referred to
in this special is Charles Banks, who
has made the town famous and who
has built up so magniicently the f.
nancial institution known as the Bank
of Mound Bayou. Mr.. Banks has
just been appointed to fill the vacancy
of Secretary and Treasurer of the Ma
sonic Benefit Association caused by
the death of the lamented Bishop
hampton. Aside from this being a
distinguished honor conferred upon
a layman in the African Meth
odist Church, Of which Mr..
Banks is a member, it is more
recognition and publicity added to
this city. 1t will bring more money
into Mound Bayou from a fraternal,
religious organization. 1t will cause
people all over the United States who

a membership of about nine hundred

breaking crowd was in evidence, we're

Pile from East Texas, as rar as Louisi-
ana, and those from South Texas,
right on the Gulf of Mexico, all con-
gregated in the capital to welcome on
these two days the idol OF all the Bap-
lists, a Texan, whose record in the
state is a veritable monument and
who rose from the path of a cow
puncher to the position he occupies
and the esteem he holds in less than
thirty years. The entire meeting had
been looked forward to the coming
of the notable and much loved Rich
ard Henry Boyd, d. d., founder of the
National Baptist Publishing Board, To-
Gated at Nashville. Farmers were
