TURKEY MAY QUIT.

Again.
McMillin viii Take No Part In the Senatorial
Fight This Time.

The meeting Of the legislature on
the first Monday in January and the
politics attendant thereon is attracting
not a few Of the politicians of the state
to Nashville. Matters Of legislation
are being discussed some, but politics
always takes precedent over everything
else duling the first days Of and the
time before the meeting of every legis-
lature.
One Of the latest political items is
the rumor that Senator Thos. B. Tur-
ley, of Memphis, will not be a candi-
date to succeed himself when his term
expires in 1901 Senator Turkeys sue
cessor will be elected by the legislature
that convenes on the first Monday in
January, 1901. For a week it has been
whispered around among the politi-
clans that after his present term Sena-
tor Turley would not again make the
race. A reporter for the American last
night attempted to find some founda-
ton for the rumor, but was unable to
get any information accurate enough
to be able to state positively that Sena-
tor Turley would not make the race.
The reporter mentioned the subject to
q half dozen or more prominent politi-
clans from Middle and West Tennes-
see. Everyone to whom the subject
was suggested had heard the rumor,
yet no one was able to say whether or
not it was correct. The rumor had
gained great currency. 1t may or may
not be true. 1t ispublished as o rumor

1t is said that Senator Turley is tirej

The furnace at Johnson City will be
operated by the Carnegie Furnace
Company. The same people who COM
pose the Embreville Iron Company,

BANK MEETING.
Important action Taken BY the Directors of
the J0neSbOrO Banking and Trust
COmnany.


Company.
The semi-aunual meeting of the di-
rectors of the Jonesboro Banking and
Trust Company was held at the Office
of the company in Jonesboro Tuesday
of this week. Several important mat
ters were considered. A6per cent an
nual dividend was declared on the
stock and a further dividend Of u per
cent. was declared to pay the taxes up
on the stock, In this way the bank
pays its taxes upon its stock and pays
the holder a net 6 per cent. interest
on his investment.
Five thousand dollars Of U. s. 8 per
cent bonds were passed to the surplus
account. While the parent institution
is located at Jonesboro the child at
johnson City has grown into a lusty
youngster and in some respects has
outgrown its parent. The business
here has been more than gratifying
showing q net increase of over so per
cent in the last IS months. This indi-
Gates plainly hat johnson City bust
ness is continually on the increase, for
a bank is nothing but a public pulse.
When the people prosper their bank
balances grow and the bank therefore
prospers. The only objection johnson
City people could have to this institu-
ton was that it retained the word
Jonesboro in the local bank title. Out
of Difference to an unexpressed wish and
to show their appreciation of a con-
stantly increase of business the direc-
tors have taken steps to change their
charter, and as o o as the secretary of
state caniprepare the papers the name
will be changed to "The Banking and
Trust Company" of Johnson City,
Tenn. This change will be duly APP
preciated by our people, not because
they had any objection TO the town Of
Jonesboro, but they did not want the
name Of any outside town to appear in
the title of a local institution.
AS is well known the local bank is
under the supervision of s. G. Williams,
Vice President, and Tate 7. Earnest,
Cashier, with Sam T. Willard and A.
B. Crouch as assistants. This is q COM

says of the Treaty of Peace: II shall
vote squarely against the proposition
to annex the Philippines. The Peace
Commission had no business to pro-
vide for their annexation. These
islands would be the most expensive
gift that one nation ever received from
another. They can never be a source
