Ex-Governor Bob Taylor Favors the Nomi nation of the Marylander. The Nashville Daily News publishes interviews with Governor Benton McMillan, ex-Governor Robert L. Tay lor, United States Senator Carmack and other distinguished men of the state on the Sampson-Schley controversy. Former Governor Bob Taylor says: "I am tor Sohlev for president of the United States. He's been the worst treated man in our history. The Drey fus case has almost been equaled here in our free couutry. A Marylander, he is a man whom the south can claim and will be proud to support, and at the same time a man whom no northern Democrat can object to. He is the man for the Democrats to nominate in 1904, and with him as our leader the voters will rebnke this gang of traduoers in Washington." Mrs. Broderick Dead. London, Ang. 1.—Mrs. Hilda Broder* iok, wife of the under-pecretary of state for foreign affairs, is dead. She was the daughter of the ninth Earl of WemyBs. FOR SALE CHEAP. Thomnsville haB won its case before the Railroad Commission of Georgia against the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway. The citizens of Thomnsville alleged in their complaint that the road established a freight rate which made a discrimination against the merchants and others of that plaoe. The case is of local interest at Albany, as the Commissioners in their deoision advise the road that they will not ap prove an amonded rate whioh contem plates an increase of freight rates at this point. The oase was argued before the Com mission last week, and Chairman Cren shaw handed down the docision yester day. It instructs the Savannah, Florida und Western road to prepare within ten days a tariff of freight rates removing all unjust discriminations. In a letter addressed to General Freight Agent James Menzles, who represented the road before the com mission, Chairman Crenshaw says: "The commission wishes to say in this oonneotlon that it would not give Its approval to any tariffs or re-adjtiBt- mentof rates whioh contemplates an increase of rates at Albany, and sug gests that the tariff to be submitted be prepared on that basis." The deoision in full is as follows: "Atlanta, Ga., July 29,1901. "Citizens of Thomnsville, Ga., versos the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway Company, oomplalnt of nn- jnst discrimination in freight rates. “After hearing the evidence and ar gument submitted for the respective parties in the above entitled matter, the commission finds generally upon the matters aud things stated In the com plaint filed in this esse in favor of the oomplainant. It finds that Thomasville is nearer by eight miles to both Savan nah anil Brnnswick than is Albanv ; that the schedule of rates oharged by the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway Oompany for the transporta tion of freigiit between Savannah and Brunswiok and Thomasvillo is higher than the rates charged for similar ser vice between Savannah and Brunswick and Albany. 'It finds that the competition exisit- ing at Albany between the lines of the defendant, the said Savannah, Florida and Western Railway Oompany, and the other roads converging at that point, does not justify snoh discrimination in the rates in favor of Albany and to the prejudice of Thomasville, said defend- aut company controlling and operating the shortest line of railway between both of said ports and Thomasvillo and Albanv ; and it finds no snoh dissimilar ity of conditions at Albany as compared with those whioh obtain at Thomasville as would warrant or justify the charg ing of a higher rate to Thomasville than is charged to Albany on similar freights and it finds farther that the exaction of the higher rate for the shorter haul con stitutes an nnjnst discrimination against Thomasville. 'Therefore, it is ordered, that the dis crimination complained of he discontin ued and that the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway company file with the railroad commission of Georgia for its consideration and approval, within ten days from this date, a tariff of freight rates removing all of said nnjnst dis criminations ; and in the default thereof, the commission will itself make snoh rates and orders in the premises as may seem meet and proper. “Let copies hereof be forwarded by due course of mail to the respective parties. By order of the board." New Terms May Be De manded of the Steel Trust, or There May Bte No Further Meetings of the Legislative Bodies— Strike Leaders Have Scattered. Pittsburg, Pa., July 31.—There oan be little doubt that an. open rapture oc curred at the sessions of the legislative bodies of tho steel strikers. The board’ has adjourned to await the call of Sec retary Williams, whioh means that new terms will be asked for and submitted at the next meeting, or that there will be no more meetings, Last night after adjournment, Na tional Trustee John Morgan, Vloe Presi dent W. O. Davis, and Assistant Nation al Secretary Tighe hoarded a Bleeper out of Allegheny for Cleveland. It i» Be lieved they have gone to organise the Orescent Tin Plate Works of that oity into the Amalgamated Association. This is open defianoe of Morgan, am) 1b in the natnre of a serious rnptnre. Minor oflioials of the strikers ‘say they arc willing to fight to the bitter end rather than aooept the humiliating de mands of the Morgan Trust. President Shaffer and Seoretary Wil liams are mysteriously missing from here. It is believed they are in New York conferring with J. P. '-Morgan and President Sohwab, who are known to be in New York. Nearly all the other members of the executive committee are missing, and it is said they hare lbft to wage further war on the TruBt. The mystery does not yet begin to analyze. The headquarters of the strikers are ab solutely deserted. THE TEXAS OIL FIELD. The “Mill” and “Clayton” x'iantationH in West Dougherty.

I INDSTINCT PRINT Washington, July 80.—Tho oil and gas fields of western, interior and north ern Texas ooal regions and on the Weat- era Gulf Coast are reported upon in a bulletin issued by the geological Borvey. The report says the productive territory is being constantly extended, as there is a demand for the gas as fuel, and oil is proving a profitable souroe. According to the report, the Beanmont oil has a gravity of 22 degrees Banme, has an as phalt base and contains a considerable quantity of snlphnr. TestBshow," says the report, -'that the percentage of light oils whioh It con tains is very low, and it is therefore re garded as a fuel oil. The cluster of wells at Bcamont, whioh have readied the oil deposits, are four miles south of the oentcr of the town, and within a radius of half a mile from the first dis covery. Up to June IB those actually recognized as producers number eleven. ’ ’ Regarding the present prospecting in the Texas fields, the report oontinnea: "The active drilling has been nearly all confined to the Spindle Top Heights and has thns far developed a field of limited extent. Some of the wells situated very near to the producing territory are now proved to be failures. This has canBed a more conservative spirit among the operators and the oil business is begin ning to be conducted on a more oarefnl basis. Tbe f aot that tbe reservoir under Spindle Top Heights appears to have only a limited extent does not preclude the possibility of finding oil in the same general horizon in other places. In stead of a continuous field, prospectors should expect to find a number of small fields ocenrring at wide intervals."

J. H*. Estlll, of Savannah, will make the raoe for governor. This announcement was made to me today by Major G. M. Ryalsof Qhatham county. In this oonneotion Mnj. Ryals said: “While I did not oome to Atlanta for the purpose of lannoliing Ool. Estill’s boom for governor, that is a part of my business here, I have oome np.to have a talk with Governor Candlor and other friends about this matter. When I was here a short time ago I had a talk with the-governor, and he told me that in his opinion it was Sonth Georgia’s- time to name the governor, and that he was willing to help ns out. Now aa duBig- non and Braufley are both out oi the race, we people down onr way think that we have the right man for-govornor in the person of Ool. EstilL There iB only one thing that will keepGol. Estlll from making the raoe, and that Is an annonnoeYnent from Judge Tamer that ho will be a candidate for the- office. If he will ran then Ool. Estlll will not, but I think itjis safe to Bay that he \gill not, and this being so we want It understood that Ool. Estlll is a oandtdate, and that Sonth Georgia Is going to do-lts best to eleot him. No objeotion oan be fonnd to our candidate. He is in every way qualified for the offioe. He has made a success in private life- and oan be trusted with the affairs of the state. Now what we wont is for; the people of North Georgia to come to- onr assist ance this time. Onr end sf the Btate has been ignored in honors of this char acter for many years, and we think that it is nothing bat right that we should bo allowed to get something occasion ally. The friends of Ool. Estlll in Sa vannah, and In foot all over Sonth Geor gia. will give him a very generous sup port,, and we can eqsily elect him with a little outside help. Governor Candler appreciates the faat that we are asking for nothing that is not fair and jast, and ho is honest enongh to say so. He has snid this all along and I am satisfied that he is iu earnest in what he says. 'The friends of our candidate in Sa vannah feel very much enconraged by the way in whioh the annonneement of Ool. Estill's name in this connection is being received, not only In onr section of the state, bnt in almost every other part of Georgia. Many people who do not know him personally, know him by reputation us a successful business man, and are willing to support him for this reasou, as well as for the reaeon that they recognize the faot that Sonth Geor gia should furnish the governor at the next eleotion. Mark my word, Ool. Estill will make the raoe and we are going to eleot him, too,” STRIKERS RUN HACKS In Opposition to Street Care In Knoxville—No Violence Attempted.
