HAVE CLUE TO
 STRANGE DEATH
Believed That Elijah Day Met His Death in Field Near Cullman
 By Foul Play

Cullman, July 15.-(Special)-lt IS uh- derstood here that Coroner Hartung mas bene furnished with new evidence Tn the matter regarding the mysterious death or Elijah Day, the old gentleman who was found dead in his cotton field Il miles south of Culman Wednesday morning and it Is quite probable that the case will be reopened for further investigation The old mans neck was broken when he was found lying across a stump in the field
 The people of that community were mystified as to the cause of the old man death, as at that time he was not known to have had an enemy, but 1t IS sald that since the death some very important circumstances have developed in the case and the people of that community are said to be clamoring for a further investiga- ton, which will be made.

ALL DEPENDS ON
 WHAT'S A DAY.

Montgomery, July 15.-(Special)-W What's a day, legislatively and consttutionally speaking, is a question that is going the rounds in Montgomery at the present time, as d result of agitation started by Robert c. Arlington, an attorney of the city, purportng to show that the present commission government act, under which this city is operating, is void. The at torney is contendng. at the same time, that the original commission government act, which made the commissioners ap- pointiye rather than elective, and which authorized three rather than five commits sioners, is valid, owing to the alleged fact that the bill had lain on the governors desk the necessary six days in which to become a law
 Owing to the frequent recesses which the last legislature took, however, 1t is contended that working days were neces- sarly the only ones that could have been taken into the count.
 No one has as yet offered to test the law.
 The real milk in the cocoanut, in the opinion of the governors friends, is to
  Arlington quotes in his statement Section 125 of the constitution says that bill must be returned on the sixth day, or if the legislature is not in session on that day, it shall be re- turned within two days after the re- assembly," Otherwise, the constitution says, the bill shall become law.
 In the case of the Montgomery com mission government bill. the measure, 1t seems, should have been returned to the two houses on March 29, whereas MT. Arlington claims that it was returned March 31. The bill reached the gov ernors desk on March 22, the attor- ney says. but the two houses were not in session March 2S
 It is believed by the friends of the present bill that the very section which MT. Arlington quotes saves the meas ure in view of the two days of grace that is granted the governor after re- assembly following upon recess Un- doubtedly two working days are meant in this instance.
 The Birmingham commission gov ernment act is not in doubt, no matter what construction might be placed on the measure.

A MORTiFYING SPECTACLE.

:.Hel's broke loose in Georgia"
according to the latest epistle
from Col. Thomas B. Fielder to
Governor Cole L. Blease, it does
not seem to be getting better
fast. There are some no doubt,
who enjoy q fight Of this kind,
these long distance fights in the
prints amount to about as much
as barking dogs behind a strong
high fence, nevertheless, tits not
a pleasant thought to have the
governor of the proud State OF
South Carolina spoken of as this
man Fielder is doing in Georgia.
What there is in the alleged let
ter to Hub Evans from Fielder: or
in the letters Fielder claims to
have. to be written by Blease. We
do not know, but we do know
that this dirty warfare OF criml-
uation and recriminatioD is naus-
eating in the extreme. To have
the governor called ''crook"
and to have him spoken Of as be-
ing unfit to be governor Of a
nigger colony may be pleasing
to the governors bitter enemies,
at the same time, there are those
who do not endorse the acts of
the governor, nor did they sup
port him, who feel very much an
noyed by the constant boboing
no of this detective-lavyer from
Atlanta, in the public prints Of
Georgia, only to have his attacks
rolled as sweet morsels under the
tongues of an clement who hate
the governor, not so much Tor
what he has or has not done as
governor. but from personal NAL
ice towards him.
We do not approve of the gov
ernor's course towards this man
Fielder, nor do we think he should
60 out of his way to say bitter
things against the Gonzales: True
they fought him as no man in this
State was ever fought before, IN
our opinion, they had much to do
with his election. but be that as
it may, Blease is the governor,
and as such he should rise above
personal resentment and be big
enough to ignore those who
would say unkind things OF him.
This, we regret to say he has not
done, but instead, whenever an
enemy showed his head he would
take a deliberate shot at him,
only to give that enemy an ex-
cuse to go back at him with the
meanest kind of insults.
