Of satire in his Primer, so deftly aimed
at them, never miss their mark. This

TAYL0R'S ADMINISTRATION.
Some Coed Work That Has Been Done.

| pOhie uoou NOrk lHdb Hds Been DOne'
Speaking of Governor Taylor's re,
turn to his office the Nashville Ameri-
can says:
Governor Taylor told an American
reporter last night that he would be at
the capitol during the rest of his term
getting things in shape to turn over the
gubernatorial Office to his successor.
The governor is now in position to
take a retrospective glance at his ad-
ministration, which he feels has been
successful. The penitentiary system,
inaugurated under his administration,
is proving profitable source of rev.
enue for the state, and is one of the best
managed concerns of The kind in the
United States.
The agricultural department is turn
ing money into the State treasury over
and above expenses, and the education
al department is in good condition.
Gov. Taylor's administration has in
volved an immense amount of work on
the chief executive. Both the state and
its governor were of inestimable value
to the Tennessee centennial and con-
tributed largely to its success. The state
gave as much money as it could to the
enterprise, and it is universally conced-
ed that Governor Taylor made o better
centennial Governor than any man in
the state could have done.
The late war also involved a great
amount of work on the governor. He
had the responsibility of raising and
appointing the officers for four regi-
ments, which was no easy task. In
view of all these difficulties, Governor
Taylor cannot help feeling gratified
over the results of his administration
Governor Taylor has a new lecture,
"Love, Laughter and Song" which he
will probably give when he retires from
the gubernatorial chair"
