Mr.. Charles Ford of Taft, another

see the different types of cotton from
nondescript to strict good middling,
and called the grade and staple Of

satisfied, however, until he went to

The National Negro Bankers Assoc
citation today approved bank guar
antee plan for fifty-four Negro banks
in the South, whereby 1t Is proposed
to protect the deposits Of the banks,

In the future. The plan adopted is to
raise guarantee fund of $4,000 to
start with and to be deposited in the
Penny Savings Bank in Birmingham,
Ala. for the use of governing board
to be selected by ballot of the various
banks. This board will have authority
to select an inspector who Is empow-
cred to make examinations of all
banks whenever it is deemed expedi-
ent. ...-.
The fund will be protected by an
indemnity bond sufficient to protect
banks entering into the agreement.
The fund for the guaranty will be
raised through securing of five hun
dred dollars by each signatory bank
approving the plan. aa0

Reliable Sporting News.

1t is a curious and significant
fact that the men who can be salts
fed with distorted and unreliable
news in other departments will in
stantly resent the the falsifying Of
sporting news. Those interested
in the sporting events of the world
long ago discovered that the Chi
.cago Record-Herald is a reliable
authority in this field, printing all
the news, day by day, year in and
year out, with a steady accuracy
and terse completeness unsurpassed
anywhere. 1t has a large staff Of
editors and reporters, who devote
all their time and skill to this de-
partment alone. The Sunday Re-
cord-Herald has separate sport
ing supplement of four full pages,
newspaper in itself, in which the
athletic events of the whole coun-
try, reported by telegraph to the
last moment of going to press, are
presented with numerous illustra-
tons. All that is of interest in
baseball, football, racing, athletics,
hunting, automobiling, yachting
golf, tennis, boxing and other
sports can always be found in re-
liable form in the Record-Herald.
Every man on the sporting staff is
an expert trained to see straight
and write the truth without bias
This is the good and sufficient rea-
son why the Record-Herald is the
favorite paper among the true low
ers of sport.
