lie NASHVILLE leIllledSSean PICKS
up the comment of the Newport
Times on the sale of The Plain
Talk, and says-that THE Newport
Plain Talk which has had a check
cred career has been purchased
by stock company of Republicans
and that it will continue to sound
the praises of Hooper and Sells. f"
We don't quite get The Times nor
the TenneSSean on what it means
by "checkered." The paper dur
ing it's fourteen years of life has
changed hands four times. It was
first published by the late Con-
gresham Anderson and was a
Republican paper aimed against
Brownlow. Upon Mr.. Anderson's
death, M. A. Roadman, a member
of the family assumed charge and
it became Independent in politics
and Mr.. Roadman continued to
edit it, until Mr.. Anderson's sons,
Hubert and Robert, became old
enough to take charge of it, and it
resumed it's allegiance to the Re-
publican party. During this per-
+iod it stood for all that was clean
in county politics, Regardless of
who was editor it has been found
that it's'every fight was in the in
terest of that which was best for
the county. When the Anderson
boys sold the paper to Mr.. Susong
it became independent again, and
as Mr.. Susong realized that the
Republican in the county had no
publications in the county he en-
deavored to give this party a
square deal. There was nothing
checkered in it's career during
Mr.. Susong's editorship. 1t was
in the midst of every fight in the
city and county and the records
will show that it's every stand
was made for the right. 1t pros
pered from the very beginning
and in few short years became
the most valued weekly newspa-
per in East Tennessee and the
new change of ownership is due
solely to the fact that Mr.. Susong
has undertaken fight in Knox
vile which will occupy his undi-
vided attention and The Plain
Talk passes into the hands of a
stock company which hopes to
continue to enjoy the patronage
of the better element of the peo-
pie of Cooke county. There has
been nothing checkered in it's
career. Started first as a cam
paign paper; then made Independ-
ent and a typical weekly paper;
later reaching out and becoming
the mouth piece of the Republican
party and then becoming hide
pendent again during a reign
where all party lines were lost in
state and nation and where
straight Democratic papers were
supporting straight Republicans
for office it certainly cannot show
evidence of a checkered career.

BANKS ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE PER CENT STOCK FOR BUILDING Clearing House Association Adopt Resolution Recommending Banks
 of State to Contribute 1-1O
 to 1-20 of Capital.

Little Rock, July 22.-The Clearing House Association of Little Rock has adopted a resolution recommending to the banks of this city that they contribute from one tenth to one twentieth of one per cent of their cap ital stock and surplus toward the fund being raised for the Arkansas exhibit at the San Francisco fair.
 This plan also has the approval of George w. Rogers, president of the Arkansas Bankers Association, and the Executive Council of that organi- ation. Letters are being sent to all the banks of the state requesting them to assist. Should this be done, it would yield about $1O,000, the capi- tai stock of Arkansas banks being about $2O,OOO,OOO in the aggregate. This would be only one tenth of the amount the Commissioners hope to raise.
