Robert A. Haggard, OF Wayne coun
", will probably be the Republican
nominee for Governor next year. He
Is the Evans choice for that honor
and it is practically certain that the
Evans faction will dominate the con
vention next year, so his nomination
seems assured. Following the meet
ang of the First, Second and Third
class postmasters Of the State at Nash.
vile Thursday, the Evans leaders held
a conference and practically agreed
upon Haggard for Governor.
One Of those present at yesterdays
conference was Postmaster John w.
jackson, of this city, who is the ref
cree for the Seventh district and one
of the leaders Of the Evans faction.
While Mr.. Jackson would not discuss
the details of the conference he did
not deny that Haggard was the choice
of large majority present
There were seventy-five leading
Evans Republicans who attended the
conference yesterday. The old Brown
Sow leaders were conspicuous by their
absence from the meeting. It is said
that this faction had made an effort to
have the Brownlowites present, but
without success, there being compare
lively few in the conference. Many
of those who have heretofore been
aligned with the erstwhile "easy boss"
have indicated that they expect to
act with the victorious Evans legions

) The conference was rather in In.
formal meeting and was held after the
meeting of postmasters at which an
organization for the state was af-
fected, and adjourned. There were
leaders of the party present from all
sections of the state, many OF them
having been conspicuous in the con-
test OF last year when for the first

COLORED FAIR
WELL ATTENDED
PROBABLY THE MOST SUCCESS
Full EVER HELD BY THE
RACE IN STATE.

| What has been the best fair ever
held In Tennessee by the colored PEG
pie came to a close Saturday night
The fair was an unqualified success
from all standpoints. The finance
balance was on the right side of the
ledger and the exhibits proved fine
education for the colored race, demon
strating to them the value of raising
good stock and producing the best
quality of everything that is grown on
the farm.
The attendance was much larger
this year than last and the interest
shown by the colored people in the
fair was not confined to this county,
but exhibits came from other sections
of the state, several of the adjoining
counties being represented. The fair
management is confident that with
the encouragement received from this
meeting a much better and more at
tractive premium list can be offered
next year.
Premiums we're awarded as follows:
In the speed ring.-Fastest trotting
horse, mile heats, the best two in
three, the purse was divided as fol-
lows: First money to A. Porter, sec
ond to D. l.. Lloyd.

which sits in Cheyenne, Wyo., in No.

They will be charged with the down
right theft of 1000 acres of the most
valuable coal lands owned by the Gov
eminent In the West through the
means OF sixty-four dummy entrymen,
most Of whom were bartenders. wal
tresses and members of New York's
lower stratum. The land itself is val
ued at 100000, and is Of fabulous
value when it's coal deposits are con-
sidered.
Government officials charge that the
grab was backed by the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy Railroad and that
the land was secured for its benefit.
That this is the case is believed be-
cause of the fact that the road was
ready with branch lipe to the first
coal mine opened up on the land, and
about 500 tons day have been taken
out and hauled into Montana.
The Government will not only ask
hat these men be sent to jail, but will |
demand the recovery of the land and

TAX BOOK IS
NOT FINISHED
WILL NOT BE READY FOR THE
TRUSTEE UNTIL ABOUT
NOVEMBER l.

Although under the law the county
tax book is required to be in the
hands of the trustee today, it will
probably be a month before the book
/ will be ready to turn over to that
official. The county court clerk is
busy with the task of making out the
book, and will have it completed be-
fore Nov. 1. The delay will not cause
any serious inconvenience for the
reason that the penalties on state and
county taxes do not accrue until
March 1, and there are comparatively
few tax payers who settle their taxes
before Jan. /.
The aggregate this year will be the
largest in this history of the county,
as there was a considerable increase
in the assessment of personal prop
erty. The railroad telephone and tele-
graph assessments we're also raised
and this will result in the addition of
a considerable sum to the county's tax
roll.

time in ten years the machinery Of
the party was wrested from the hither
to invincible Brownlow.
! After canvassing the situation Al
some length and discussing a number
of prominent Republicans who have
been mentioned for the nomination II
was found to be the concensus Of opin
ion that Haggard would be the strong
est and most acceptable candidate
Mr.. Haggard was brought into the
meeting and when he entered there
was the widest applause. That he
will accept the nomination there Is not
the slightest doubt.
In agreeing upon Haggard the Evans
forces have solved problem that has
been worrying the leaders ever since
the defeat of their nominee for Gov
ernor last year. Several party lead
ers have been mentioned, including
Tillman, Sanford, Brown, Wright and
others, but to all Of these some objec-
tion was made. 1t was found that
Foster v. Brown would not be ac-
ceptable to many of the Evans leaders
because of his partisanship in the
memorable contest OF 1900. Sanford
has recently been appointed Assistant
Attorney General of the United States
and will not resign that Office to make
the race so that he has been elimina-
ted from the field.
Haggard is a native Tennessean and
will for that reason fill Brownlow's
description of an ideal candidate for
the party. He has several times been
a delegate to the National conventions
Of his party, has served as Presidential
elector and as member of the Repub- |
lican state committee. He is recog- |
nized as a strong debater and an ex-
cellent campaigner. He has for many |
years been an active partisan Of the
Evans forces and is man of high
