GOV ROBERT /. TAYLOR
ls Not Candidate for the seuate---says
lie is out OF Politics for Good.

The news that Governor Taylor
had decided not to make the race
for United States Senator was a
great surprise to his many friends
and supporters in this county
His decision TO Withdraw from
further participation in politics has
been received with many express
sions of regret among Democrats
here who have absolute confidence
in him and endorse his present and
past administrations.
Governor Taylor has positively
declared that he will never again
seek or accept any political Office.
The story that Representative
Richardson has or will become a
candidate against Senator Bate for
| the United States Senate is fatty
denied by that gentleman.
In an interview Representative
McMillin says 81 am a candidate
for governor and nothing else"
1t has been intimated to Mr.. Nc
Millin that Governor Taylor would
support him if he would become a
candidate for the Senate against
Senator Bate, but the brainy Con
gresham says he would not become
a candidate for the Senate against
Senator Bate.
The Withdrawal of the governor
from the contest for Senator seems
to leave tho field clear to Senator
Bate.

They Want to Bring New Industries to
Tennessee.
The railroads of Tennessee have
inaugurated a movement, which, if
pursued with their usual vigor in
such matters, will accomplish I'M
told good results for the State.
In an interview in the Memphis
Commercial Appeal with Col. Rob
ert Gates, who represents the Lou
isville and Nashville and the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis
Railroads, the fact is developed that
extra efforts are being made to To-
cate new industries and desirable
immigrants in Tennessee.
Colonel Gates says the inspira-
ton of the movement was the sue
cess of the Tennessee Centennial,
and the plans adopted are broad in
their scope. Colonel Gates is in
the field actively at work, and he is
meeting with hearty cooperation
from other railroads and from COM
mercial andindustrial organizations
all over the State.
Any plans looking to the devel.
opment of the States material in,
terests should receive the encour
agement of every Tennessean who
desires to see his State progress az
it deserves. Tennessee, the riches
and fairest commonwealth in the
Southland, must advance to the toy
of the ladder of progress, and tn,
present movement promises grea
things for the State, both in effec
and results.

AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.
Mrs. J. V. Wilson in Jail for Shooting
Her Husband.


Her Husband.
eyes. / shot my husband, that is, they
say / did and | suppose it is true; but
know nothing of it. My nephew tells
me | did the shooting with his pistol. II
was done early last night. If I did it,
remember absolutely nothing about it,
For two weeks | have been unwell, and
yesterday | suffered intensely and had
a high fever"
Thus spoke Mrs. Wilson to a reporter
of the News and Observer yesterday. As
she talked. she sat in a rude chair in
front of a cell in the county Jail. She
looked the very picture OF despair ana
kept saying, over and over, how sorry
she was of the occurrence.
Mrs. Wilson was before the mayor
when he opened court at 10 O'Clock on
a charge of assaulting her husband with
intent to kill. She was committed to
Jail without bail, pending further investl-
cation OF the facts in the case and the
rcport of the attendant physician.
1t is generally believed that Mrs. VIII
sons mind is badly affected. 1t is well
known that she has long been dissipate0
and this together with the fact that
nef nuSDdDu Is SulIlS 1oA 81 Wv wv I''''
probably caused arrangement of her
mind On account of this, much SYM
pathy was expressed for her yesterday.
Mr. Wilson and his wife reside on
Johnson street between Halifax and
Wilmington streets. Mr.. Wilson holds
a position in the S. A. l.. shops, of this
city. and is very industrious and re-
spectacle citizen.
He is now confined to bed at the
residence of his son. where he was re-
moved after the sad occurrence, suffering
from Il very painful flesh wound III the
thigh, which is no wise serious. Mr..
Wilson had very narrow escape how
ever, for the ball missed vital spot
only about an inch.
The particulars of the shooting, devel-
opcd so far. are very meagre.
Mr.. Wilson was seen by Il reporter yes
terday.
1t appears from information from
this source, that Mrs. Wilson asked him
if he intended TO persist i'll his actions
to get a divorce from her on account OF
and threatened him if he
continued to do so. He would not con
sent to give up the suit, whereupon she
rushed into her nephew's room, secured
his pistol, returned and shot her husband,
Her aim, it is claimed, was at his breast,
but he struck the weapon before it fired
thereby receiving a limb instead or
body wound The shooting occurred be-
tween nine and ten o'clock Monday
night.
