Carry A. Nation Quiz - Question 6

You're right! Nick Chiles was the African American businessman who bailed Carry out of jail.

Chiles owned a hotel, newspaper, and saloon in Topeka.
He helped start Nation's newspaper, The Smasher's Mail.

Carry and Chiles quickly disagreed on the newspaper's operation, though, and the partnership ended.
