 Night and Day.

Lafayette, October 11.-(Special )-La- Fayette's new oil mill, owned and managed by l.. L. Torbett, which has been running during the day, comm enced yesterday run ming on full time night and day. The mill is new throughout, furnished with Van Wrinkle machinery and has a capacity of fifteen tons
 There have been several changes here recently in legal circles. Associate Jus tice-Elect James R. Dowdell, moved his family to Montgomery few days ago and will follow himself shortly. Colonel John s. Jemison, formerly of Birmingham, hung out his attorneys shingle here last week. A few days since John D. Abernathy, Esq., moved from. this place to Roanoke, Ala, and Hon. S. l.. Brewer appointed Arm stead Brown, a local attorney, as county solicitor in MT. Abernathy's stead. B. $. Thigpen, a prominent young attorney of Opelika, has accepted the position of pro- bate court clerk under the new administra- tion.
 Cotton is coming in briskly, but the farm CTS report very short crop. There was large wheat crop raised in this county the past season. and the prospect is for heavier one next season. Lafayette has an excellent flour mill using the roller process, and wheat raised in this section can be turned into fine white flour without inconvenience.

 den to be Improved.

Gadsden, October 11.-(Special)- 1.-The board of county commissioners of Etowah county have decided to grade and chert the Attalla dirt road from Gadsden to At talla. Of the five miles only about one and half will have to be graded, as the rest of the road is within the corporate mts of Gadsden, Attalla and Alabama City, and is in excellent shape.
 The land owners of Turkeytown valley are circulating petition to have no fence law passed for that section of Etowah county which covers an area twelve miles long and from two to three miles de. Very few are opposing the move.
 Mayors court has been very livelyl the past few days and the fines have amount ed to several hundred dollars, while the numbers on the chain gang have been largely increased.
 The political outlook Is serene and the campaign is so far dull and l.stless. Up to this time the race has been between Bur nett and Lathrop, but the last week has changed it all around and t now lies be- tween Burnett and Street, with all the chances in favor of Burnett, who will carry every county in the district except one. majority over Street will be about 1,5OO
 Gadsden's public schools nave opened with 3O1 pupils and full corps of teach CTS, who are doing splendid work.
 The Cove Creek br dge, about six miles east from here, was washed away last Friday by the heavy rains and the swollen creek The river reached twenty-three feet above the low awter mark and great damage was done.
 The new mill for the Dwight Manufactur- ing company is to be erected by them- selves no contract submitted being satis- factory. A large force of men are at work eXcavating while all kind of timber IS being placed on the ground and the work is be- ing rushed.

Chicago, October 11.-Mr w. II. Harvey, general manager of the ways and means committee, No. LAO University building, Chicago is in receipt of the following letter from Colonel w. J. Bryan, dated Jackson vile, Fla:
 My Dear Sir:-I enclose a pledge for monthly contributions to the cause of bi- metallism until October 1900, together with installment for this month. 1 most cor dially indorse the plan adopted by the com- mittee, and am confident that it will re- suit in the collection of large fund for the circulation of bimetallic literature. Since cur fight is in the interest of the plain peop.e'-to use Lincoin's phrese-or the common people, to borrow Bible quota ton, we must aPrcal to them for the means of carrying on the contest The financiers can contribute the largest sums to support the god standard because the monopo.y Of money gives them great pecuniary profit. Surely you can appeal with confidence to tLe millions who suffer from the rising dol- lar and failing prices.

Montgomery exponent of the higher
 propositions in political science has
 made the problem so simple that the
 Bessemer paper must feel cheap in as- s serting that the question is too deep
 for it.
 Nothing better can be expected Of tho
 Bessemer paper; but if the Advertiser
 is to keep this sort of thing up in the
 face of Governor Johnston's over
 whelming indorsement by the democracy
 of the state, it would be as well for it
 to go over to the opposition at once.
 We had overlooked the comments of the Advertiser or we should have promptly re- peled the insinuation that we had in mind any such consideration as it imputes to us. We stated that we supposed the selection or appointee would be a matter of ex- pedency or policy with the governor. That out of a multiplicity of candidates, the most of whom were well qualified for the duties and wellworthy of the position, expediency or policy would determine the choice, whether the candidate should come from one locality or another; whether his party or political services merited special recog- milton; whether his relations to the party were such as to strengthen it in official po sition whether his corporation views were
 
 on a score of questions might arise in which where, other things being equal, it would become with the governor a matter of expediency as to whom he would select, and for us to attempt to divine the motives which would actuate him (motives that would be perfectly prNDer) would have been folly But we well know that no such base and despicable a motive as that projected by the Advertiser could influence Governor Johnstons' action.
 Regarding Mr. Tomlinson, we know that in ability he was the peer Of any citizen, that his integrity and character was of the highest; that his party and political service had been most potent and effective, and that his personal worthiness was unques- toned and we so spoke of him.
 Regarding the slurs and insinuations of this dingy and insignificant sheet, charging with hypocrisy in commenting MT. Tom linson, and falsely and without the slight est foundation charging with enmity to the administration of Governors Jones, Oates and Johnston it would show want of respect to our readers to give it further notice. It is nfiiction enough to reproduce its turgid rot.

MURDERED WHILE
 SOUND ASLEEP Horrible Fate of Jerome Hays of Marshall County. NO CLUE TO THE. ASSASSINS The Fiends, Whom He Had Sheltered for the Night, Crept Into His
 Bedroom and Blew Out
 His Brains.
NO CLUE TO THE. ASSASSINS

Guntersville, October 11.-(special)-On of the worst murders in recent years was. committed on Town Creek last Saturday night. This is the third murder within only few days that has occurred in Marshall county.
 Jerome Hays, prominent citizen of this section, while asleep at his home, had his brains blown out and scattered over his room by unknown assassns His wife was the only witness, and her story is as follows:
 MT Hays had sold cotton in Guntersville and returned home late in the evening. After the family had retired Saturday night, two men came to the house and wished to spend the night. MT. Hays re- marked that they were his friends, and he showed them into a room and returned to his own room and again went to sleep. Later during the night, Mrs Hays was Frightened by gunshot near her head and felt the body of her husband shudder On awaking, she saw a light which was quickly extinguished
 The assassins seized her and took her out of the house and left her. while they re- turned. She ran to a neighbours, McFar- land, and aroused the family. All returned to the house of Mir. Hays and found hs dead body in the bed, while his brains were scattered over bed and walls. It appeared that the gun, which was double-barreled shotgun, was placed almost against his head, and both barrels fired. The pillow was burned.
 MT Hays two little girls were sleeping in another room and were undisturbed
 There is absolutely no clew as to who the criminals are, as Mrs. Hays says she never saw them. N

LAUDERDALE COUNTY FAIR.
The Fifth Annual Meeting Will Begin
 on October 10.

Florence, October 11.-(Special)-Th fifth annual meeting of the Lauderdale County Fair association will begin on the 18th inst, and last four days, including the 22d. The meeting promises to be the most success ful in the history of the fair association, every indication pointing to a large att tendance and large list of exhibitors. The premium list is a large and tempting one. The; ndw'building to be known as Floral hall is almost completed, and ex- hibits will be received on the 18th, the day preceding the opening of the fair.
 rfhe first two weeks of the present ses- sion of Bailey Springs university have been very suspicious. The opening of the col lege on the first day of the month was the largest in its history, and the attendance at this time is larger than at any time of the last session.

TREASURER ELLIS
Files His Report for the Fiscal Year
 With the Governor.

Montgomery, October n-(Special.)- State Treasurer Ellis on yesterday filed with the governor his report for the fiscal year ending September 30. It is exceeding ly interesting, inasmuch as 1t shows tre- mendous decrease in the states deficit. The committee appointed by the last legislature to determine and announce the amount of the deficit on January l, 1897, reported it to be in round numbers s560,O00. The state treasurer on September 30, just year and three-quarters later, announces the deficit to be only S241, ,75590, which makes an admirable showing for the administra tion now in power.

PROCLAMATION
 OF QUARANTINE
Against States of Louisiana and Mississippi Issued Yesterday.
IT WAS MADE IMPERATIVE
On Account of the Rapid Spread of Yel- low Fever Impossible to Keep Up With New Points
 of Infection.

Montgomery October n.-(Special.)-GoV ernor Johnston today issued proclama- tion establishing quarantine against the entire states of Mississippi and Louisiana. This has been made imperative by the rapid spread of yellow fever in those states. The health authorities found it i,n- possible to keep up with the new points of infection.
 "Quarantine against the two states be- came absolutely necessary to our own safety" said State Health Officer Sanders. "The spread of yellow fever is so rapid that we found it impossible to keep our quarantine officers informed as to the new foc of infection. When a new focus was reported to us we had to telegraph our of ticers, and that is not now possible. The new points are too numerous. Alabama remains absolutely free from yellow fever, and we intend to keep it so"
 Effect Upon Soldiers
 Upon the issue of the governors proclaim ation Colonel Mcdonald telegraphed the war department urging that the furlough5 of the First and Second Alabama regi- ments be extended from the 18th of October till the 17th of November, for the reason that about 200 men of these regiments are in Mississippi, and cannot enter Alabama from that state So long as the quarantine is, in force. Colonel McDona.d's request is likely to be compiled with.
 The proposition to muster out two Mis- sissippi regiments at Birmingham cannot be further considered. The soldiers would not be permitted to enter this state.
 states Flood Losses
 Chief Convict Inspector Trapp says that the loss from the recent floods to state farm No. is 300 acres of corn and 70 or 100 acres of cotton. There is a bare chance that if the waters recedes rapidly some of the corn might, with much labor, be saved for hogs Roughly the states loss is about 10000 bushels of and about 75 baes of cotton. Thousands of the largest pumpkins grown have hoated down the river.
 The flood fell two feet last night and there is no present danger of further dam age.
 Personal Among the governors visitors today were Hon. Thos. M. Plowman, of Tal.a- dega and Probate Judge Elect Al. Driver
