Taylor Nominated for Governor
BY Tennessee Democrats.

United States Senator Robert L..
Taylor, three times Governor of
Tennessee, and whose term in the
United States Senate does not eX-
pire until 1912, was nominated for
Governor by the regular Demo-
cratic convention.
Governor NJ. K. Patterson was
nominated several months ago TO
succeed himself, but his nominal
ton caused split in the party and
he announced his withdrawal from
the race, hoping thereby to unite
the party.
1t was in the interest of har-
mony that Senator Taylor was
nominated. He accepted the
nomination, but said he would not
retire from the Senate unless
elected Governor.
Senator Taylor will be opposed
by Capt. B. W. Hooper, the Re-
publican nominee, also endorsed
by the Independents.
The convention declared that the
temperance question should not be
an issue in the campain.

Dead at the Residence of
her Daughter, Mrs.
Howard French.

Mrs. Marian Crawford was
found dead in bed Thursday morn
inc at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Howard French on East Main

ian work: her heart and soul were
with the Christian Workers.
Mrs. Crawford was a woman of
rare type, her cha racter was in
deed a ioyabie one. and the beauti-
full life that she led would certain
ly be an example we'll worth our
while.
She is survived by two child
rem, Mrs. Howard French, of this

prominent attorney of Column
bus, Ga.
The funeral services were held
at the Christian Church Saturday

Marian Young Crawford. Peace
to her ashes, rest to her soul"
