JACKSON, MISS.
pr. Simpson Ofhciates At Brilliant We'd dins-Negroes to Have Torchlight Parade.

Jackson, Miss, October 13-Mr. Fred L. Nelson, a prominent insurance man of this city, and Miss Louise Taylor, only daughter of s. J. Taylor. mayor of Jackson, were married last night at the Galloway Memorial church, the Rev. J. l.. Simpson of Birmingham off ciating. There were large number of attendants and guests from out of town and the wedding was one of the most brilliant affairs of the year. Rev. Simpson officiated, some 25 years ago, at the marriage of the parents of the pretty bride of this occasion.
 During their fair in Jackson, which follows immediately after the state fair, the negroes of Mississippi pro- pose to have the biggest thing in the way of a torchlight procession that was ever seen in the state, not even except ing similar demonstrations by the democrats during the last of recon struction days. The first day of their fair the negroes will have a parade, similar to that of last year, which was the most interesting thing of the kind ever experienced here. and extending from Chiffon to Jackson, it was claimed fftf

him the church. These things can
never win his respect and love.
Never in its long history has the
church had a better opportunity to
make itself known along life's battle
front, than now. Through personal,
individual, generous giving, as we'll as
in the actual doing of the neighborly
deco lies the opportunity to say to
those who pass by, This is the church
your friend and brother, by the com
mand and example of its Master and
Lord"
One night, years ago, | stood on the
chapel steps with a n~ine-year-old boy.
Work had been given his father, food
and coal had been sent to his home.
The old thread-bare clothing which
was worn by the boy and his sister had
beer replaced by complete outfits, new
and becoming. The coat transformed
the boy. 1t warmed him to the heart.
Say he said, what would a become
of Us if there worn't no church here?"
His race lighted up and he laid his
eWly-mittened hand lovingly down
on the brown stone, when | get big"
he said, "Ill build one down on d
street where there amt none"
Whether the church be large or
small, city or country, wood or stone,
| can conceive of no greater wish for
1T than that the men and women fight
ing desperately along life's battle front
where patriotism casts no glamour,
and no bugle song or drum-beat stirs
the soul, might have reason to look up
at its overs and crosses and say in
differing phrases with the warm re-
Spouse of their inmost hearts, What
would have become of us if there were
no church here?"

BANK GUARANTY ACT

The machinery for the state bank
guaranty act is now in operation, and
all state banks must place themselves
under the guaranty act by January /,
1916, or liquidate their affairs and
close up shop, says a Pierre dispatch.
The first meeting Of the banking COM
mission has just been held, the mem
bers being J. l.. Wingfeld, state bank
examiner, who is president by virtue
of his Office; William Hoese of Spen-
GER; c. H. Lien of Sisseton, and Louis
Jacobs of Lennox. They selected j. f.
McEwen of the banking department as
their secretary. The next meeting
will be the second Tuesday in July,
which is fixed by law as the regular
quarterly meeting date.
The commission fixed the interest
rate for all state banks at 5 per cent.
They declined to exercise the author
ity granted to them by the law to fix
a five and one-half per cent rate at
places where the state banks are in
competition with national banks which
pay six per cent, holding that general
conditions do not warrant paying six
per cent either by state or national
banks, and that with the safety guar
anty of the state law back Of the state
ho nlc Tho ctofn hanEc nauinu Gun nor
cent will be on an equality with the
national banks without any such guar
anty.
The commission directed it's secre-
tary to notify the State Bankers as
ISOLATION created by senate bill s, that
a meeting has been called to convene
at Deadwood, June 25 and 26, for the
purpose of giving consideration to var
ious important matters developed as
a result of the passage of this act. The
commission has directed that at least
two of it's members shall arrange to
meet the state bankers association
there on these dates.
The commission considered action
upon a number of applications for
charters for new banks which the pub
lie examiner had rejected, but final
action was reserved until further in
vestigation could be made.
All reports on the examination Of
banks as made by the authorized ex-
aminers of the department from March
5 to May 10 inclusive were acted upon
and the action recorded in each case,
but final action will be reserved until
the last meeting of the commission
during the year 1915, at which each
bank will receive its formal notice of
it's acceptance or disapproval; each
bank, however, is at this time notified
of any objections to it's condition as
taken by the commission and given
notice of such requirements as will be
necessary to place it in a condition
satisfactory to the commission.
