With the primary a full year of, the preliminary opening of the campaign in Montgomery may be said to be at hand. The Democrats of Montgomery next Spring will nominate Tax Asses sor and a Tax Collector and already friends of probable candidates are sounding the public.
 The two offices to be filled at the primary for, of course. the nomina- tfon Is as good as an election. are the offices of Tax Collector and Tax As sessor. The primary will have an ad- dftional interest in the selection of delegates to the next Democratic Ma tional Convention. In the selection of these delegates, the whole State will participat according to Congressional Districts. Four will be sent from the State at large and two from each Con- gressional District.
 But in Montgomery the early inter est is not in the naming of the dele gates to the Democratic Convention, but in the nomination for Collector and Assessor.
 No contest for Assessor is at pres ent indicated. State Senator Charles B. Teasley is the only candidate men, tioned for the office. Senator Teasley d iOHS term OI years UdS lilltu d place in the Collectors office and is thoroughly familiar with its duties. He has. moreover, one of the widest acquaintances of any man in the coun- ty. His friends have been very much gratifed at the way in which the mention of his candidacy has been re- ceived.
 The early political talk indicates that there will in all probability be a contest for Tax Assessor. The contest Of course has not assumed definite shape, and all talk about 1t is talk and nothing else. But the rumor has 1t that Charles P. Anderson. one of the best known business men of the city and one who has been prominent in the political campaigns of the city in recent years will make the race. MT. Anderson four years ago came within a few votes of receiving the nomination for Mayor of Montgomery Political rumor has it, too, that per- haps Messrs. NJ. A. Benja min and Morgan S. Gilmer may make the race. Both men are well versed h the af- fairs of Montgomery county. They have been engaged in work for the county in various offices and capacities and are thoroughly familiar with the county's business. Their contact with the public of Montgomery county have given them a wide acquaintance and made for them many friends.

MURDER OR SUICIDE
UNKNOWN MAN LIES DEAD IN PAS
 TURF
Terrified by the Sight Negro Who Sees Corpse Takes to His HeeIs- Coroner to Inves-
 tigate.

%Whether a negro, name unknown, who was found dead yesterday after noon on the Thomas place, three miles from Montgomery, is weltering in gore flowing from wounds of his own or another's making, or is dead from an illness, is a fact that has not yet been ascerta.ned in Montgomery
 The discovery of the corpse in the pasture of the John c. Thomas place, Woodley Road, three miles from Mont gomery, was reported late yesterday afternoon by one John Matthew Brown, a negro, who having had one look at the dead body, fled precipitately to the headquarters of the police depart ment and unburdened himself of his dread secret. He had gone to the pasture. he said, to round up the cows, had seen the body lying in a clump of bushes and had immediately run to town to tell about it.
 Brown seemed to have been badly frightened and was unable to say if the dead man had been murdered or if he had died of illness. He had seen him, and that seemed to him enough and more than enough for him to have seen and known. He said that he did not know the dead negro's name and was unable to afford any information about his identity.
 News of the discovery of the corpse did not reach police headquarters until late in the afternoon. Police Sergeant informed Coroner w. H. Tice of the matter but on account of the fact that darkness would prevent him from being able to make any adequate in vestigation he decided to hold no in quest until this morning. MT. Tice said last night that he would go to the Thomas place at o'clock this morning.
 Whether the corpse was removed from the pasture is not known. It Is presumed however, that Brown in formed others of its discovery and CO., cality and that it was taken to some cottage and sheltered.

JAP GETS PAPERS
NATURALIZATION QUESTION RAIs-
 ED IN PENSACOLA.
Judge Swayne Holds That MongOIians are Not Prohibited Citizenship The Case May Be
 AuDeuled.

Pensacola Fla.- April 21-(special. ) A naturalization case, which may be- come of national importance, has been the United States District Court
 It is that of Taneamutsu Matsuki a subject of Matsuhiti, Emperor of Ja- pan, whom the court granted natursli- zation papers to, notwithstanding a rul- ing by the Department against the ad- mission of Japanese to citizenship.
 The Jap is employed by the com mandant of the Pensacola Navy Yard. According to his statement he came to the United States from Japan sixteen years ago and made his declaration be- fore the United States District Court on November 2, 1902. First papers were issued to him at that time, not withstanding there appeares to be some doubt as to whether a person of Mon- golian blood can become a citizen of this country.
 Recently when the Jap filed here the Bureau of Immigration of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor directed a letter to Clerk F. w. March in- structing him to take up the first pa pers and to refuse to grant the appli- cation. The clerk had no authority to take such course, although the De- letter under the law subject of Japan cannot become an American citizen.
 The matter was referred to Judge Charles Swayne, who granted the pa decision stated that Mongolians had never been prohibited from becoming citizens of this country. and If the law had contemplated such prohibition specific amendment including Chi nese would have been necessary.
 It is believed that the Department of Justice, by request of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor, will di- rect that the matter be appealed to the United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals and from there, if Judge Swayne's decision is sustained to the United States Supreme Court.

MINGLED BODY FOUND.
Unknown Dead Man on Tracks Oi
 

Gadsden, April 21.-(special. )-The mangled body of an unknown white man was found early this morning by the side of the railroad tracks at the function of the Louisville and, Nashville and Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railways about seven miles west of Gadsden.
 There were no papers or other marks by which the man could be identified on his body.
 From the horribly mangled appeaI ance of the body, several trains must have passed over the remains before they were found. It was stated that the man lived at Albertville, but no one seem to know his name.

"Mother" Goodrich, Black Hills Pho.
neer, Leaves Record Of Good Work.
Celia Goodrich, colored, pioneer wo-
man of the Black Hills and friend OF
all the early day miners, is dead.
Dropsy, from which she suffered some
time, finally caused the end at st. Jo-
seph's hospital in Deadwood, aged
sixty-one.
Mrs. Goodrich had an interesting ca
reer. Born in Kentucky In 1916, she
was raised in the family Of Capt.
Blackwood, but was w a slave.
The Blackwoods, who had purchased
her mother, had given her freedom.
In 1864 the young woman became Mrs.
Thomas Goodrich and went to Mis-
souri, to live and later to Denver, COM
ing to Deadwood in 1876, a pioneer
year. 1t was here that her real career
began. Sickness, births and deaths
were her special missions.
In every miners family the name
Of Mother Goodrich al revered,
for to all she was nurse and doctor.
Many q time the woman walked and
rode for two days v mountainous
roads to answer the summons Of a
sick man or child. Then her own fam
lily began to grow so large thai it occu-
pied her time at home, and beyond be-
ing a jealous worker and a faithful at
tendant on the Baptist church, Moth
er" Goodrich had little time for out
side trips. Even then she was the ad~
visor of the neighbors for blocks
around and was never called upon for
help in vain.
Mrs. Goodrich is survived by six
children,
