TAYLOR NAMED
FOR GOVERNOR
By Kentucky Republicans at Their
State Convention.
NO OPPOSITION IS SHOWN
Negro Republicans Dissatisfied
at Result and Will Bolt.
The Kentucky republican state con¬
vention adjourned at Lexiugton Thurs¬
day night, after being in continuous
session since 9 a. m. What was called
the Deboe-Taylor slate for the most
part was ratified.
Before the convention assembled
moBt of tho delegates were for Taylor
for governor, and when the nomina¬
tion for governor was reached about
all of them were for Taylor. In the
contest for minor places there was a
vociferous flow of Kentucky oratory.
The ticket completed is as follows:
For Governor— XV. S. Taylor, of
Lexington.
For Lieutenant Governor—John
Marshall, of Louisville.
For Secretary of State—Caleb Pow¬
ers, of Knox county.
For Attorney General—Cligton J.
Pratt.
For Auditor of State—John S.
Sweeney, of Bourbon State—Walter county. R.
For Treasurer.of
Day, of Breathitt.
Hon. J. AY. Yerkes before the nom¬
inations were made, presented a unan¬
imous r. port from the committee on
resolutions and it was adopted. The
resolutions in part are as follows:
“We pledge the republican party of
Kentucky to the enactment of all such
laws as may be necessary to prevent
trusts, pools, combinations or other
organizations from combining to de¬
preciate below its real value, or to en¬
hance the cost of any article, or to re¬
duce the proper emoluments of labor.
“We congratulate the republican
party that existing federal legislation
for the suppression of harmful trusts,
pools and combinations is the work of
a republican congress, performed dur¬
ing the administration of a republican
president, and we congratulate the
country that in suppression of injuri¬
ous combinations, republican legisla¬
tion has had ir. the past, as it will have
in the future, due regard for the in¬
terests of legitimate business, the
purposes of such legislation being the
remedy for the wrong and not the em¬
barrassment to industry, enterprise or
thrift.
“We indorse, without reserve, the
administration of President McKinley
and congratulate the American people
upon the condition of prosperity and
happiness resulting from the wisdom
and patriotism which he has brought
to the discharge of his public duties.
“We declare our confidence in the
policies adopted and the measures
taken by the president to restore order
and to establish progressive govern¬
ment in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines and we pledge him our
continuous support until these objects
are fully attained.
“We reaffirm our adherence to the
principles and to policies proclaimed
by the last republican convention ex¬
cept as to the civil service.
“We regal'd it as settled beyond dis¬
pute that the maintenance of a sound
currency through republican adminis¬
tration and legislation is the founda¬
tion upon which rests the most remark¬
able period of industrial progress,
commercial activity and general pros¬
perity within the experience of the
people of the United States.
“We commend the present amend¬
ment of civil service rules by the pres¬
ident and declare our belief that
further modifications of existing civil
service legislation may be made with
advantage to the public service.”
Some of the negroes of Lexington
are dissatisfied with the nomination of
General Taylor for govenor and an
effort will be made by them to defeat
him. A number of prominent negroes
of the city and Louisville held a meet¬
ing Thursday afternoon and decided
to place a negro ticket in the field this
fall. A conference will be held in
Louisville and a ticket nominated.
They have no idea of winning, but
they claim they will cause Taylor to
lose the colored vote.
GORE HORSES FOR OTIS.
Secretary Alger Wbl Buy Needed An*
imals In the Southern States.
A dispatch has been received at
Washington from General Otis re¬
questing that there be sent to the
Philippines 2,500 horses in order that
a brigade of cavalry may be organized
for use at the end of the rainy season.
General Otis has tried the horses of
Manila and nearby countries, but none
of them seem to be available for caval¬
ry. It is the intention of Secretary
Alger to have the mounts carefully se¬
lected, and he thinks that anamals
from the southern states, not too
heavy, but tough and wiry, will be
the best.

WORKING FOR COTTON MILL.
Citizens of iTontezuma, Ga., Hay Build
Factory Costing $100,000.
The Montezuma, Ga., cotton mill
committee, consisting of Messrs. J.
W. Haygood, W. M. Lewis, J. W.
McKenzie, G. Lippman and Hon.J.J.
Easterling, is visiting the various
mills of middle and north Georgia. If
these mills are found to be in a pros-
perous condition Montezuma will be-
gin at once to raise sufficient money
to build a factory to gost $100,000.
THE STATE FAIR.
Rapid Progress Being Made In
Preparations For the Com¬
ing Event At Atlanta.
Applications for space continue to
to come in and Secretary Martin is
kept busy answering letters.
The old Peace Jubilee committee
will co-operate with the attraction
committee of the fair in spending the.
$650 left over in special features for
Atlanta day.
* * *
For the first time since its invention
the presses and gins of the round bale
system will Vie publicly exhibited at
the fair this fall. Many have had an
opportunity of seeing the round bale
and the machinery for baling it, but it
Las never before been placed ou exhi¬
bition at a state fair exposition.
The best horse racing that Georgia
has enjoyed for years will take place
on jthe fair grounds. Six thousand
dollars will be given in prizes, maybe
more. Already a great number of in¬
quiries, showing the interest that the
meet is arousing, have come in from
over all the country.
At a recent meeting of the executive
committee it was decided to offer $500
in premiums for high bred dogs. This
department will be an adjunct to the
poultry aud pet stock display and will
be one of the most interesting features
of the fair. There are a number of
owners and fanciers of fine dogs
throughout the state, who have signi¬
fied their intention of sending entries
to the fair, and the bench show will
be one of the largest ever held in the
state.
; The forthcoming state fair at Atlanta
will be rich in what is known as “at¬
tractions.” The committee on attrac¬
tions is in receipt of numerous letters
from parties in various parts of the
country who want to bring the fair
unique and interesting attractions.
Among them is a man in Omaha who
has a pair of diving horses and elks; a
Balloon company which makes a
specialty of novelty balloon ascen¬
sions; Charley Kinzer’s trotting dogs,
which have been exhibited all over
the country; and Miss Peek, who per¬
forms a daring bareback horse act.
All of these communications were
referred to Secretary Martin, who an¬
swered each of them, and asked for
for specific information concerning the
different attractions and the prices
that would he asked. The best of
these attractions will probably be
brought to Atlanta. Already a “made-
to-order” collision between two loco¬
motives has been arranged for. This,
in connection with other attractions,
will make the amusement feature one
of the most interesting of the fair.
HILL ELECTED CHANCELLOR.
, of
Succeeds Dr. Boggs As Head the
Georgia State University.
Hon. Walter B. Hill, of Macon was
elected chancellor of the Georgia State
university Thursday. Ouly two bal-
lots were cast. Mr. Hill receiving
seven votes on the first ballot and
twelve on the second. His election
was then declared unanimous.
The meeting of the board of trus¬
tees convened in the chamber of the
supreme courtroom at Atlanta. The
meeting was held in executive session
and there was a full attendance of the
twenty-one members of the board,
Chairman McDaniel presiding.
The candidates before the board
were Dr. H. C. White, ex-Cbancellor
Boggs and Hon. Walter B. Hill.
A resolution was adopted making
the duties of the new chancellor the
same as those of the retiring chancel¬
lor until further action by the board
to the contrary. This will make Chan¬
cellor Hill, at least until the Novem¬
ber meeting of the board, the occupant
of the chair of mental and moral
science.
MORE OIL SEIZED.
Two Tanks At Savannah, Ga., Locked
Up By the State.
The sensational feature of the oil
investigation at Atlanta, Ga •, came
Thursday when Colonel John Screven,
oil inspector at Savannah, filed his re¬
port with Commissioner of Agriculture
O. B. Stevens.
The contents of the report, though
every effort was made to keep them
secret, show that two tanks of oil in
Savannah, which is the distributing
point of the Standard Oil company in
the southern part of the state, have
been seized and locked by Inspector
Screven.
The amount of oil in the tanks
which are held in the name of the
state is not known to the department
of agriculture or to Inspector Stevens.
The capacity of the tanks is very great,
and it is believed that probably a half
million gallons are contained in them.

A dispatch from Northampton,
Mass., says: The loss to tobacco grow¬
ers of Hatfield by damage of the crops

been colonists, accepted autonomy to
enable them to make their work surer,
