PLEASED BY PRIMARY
JOHNSTON WILL NOT TELL OF
HIS PLANS.
He Says That in Few Days, How
ever, He VIII Make Some
Statements Which VIII Be
Of Interest to the People.

Birmingham, July -tSpeciaD Former
Governor Joseph F. Johnston was asked
this morning what he thought of the
primary plan as adopted by the State
Democratic Executive Committee. yester-
day. in Montgomery. but he had very
little to say He gave out the following
statement:
81 have not sufficiently considered the
plan to determine its merits and demerits
but it has been very gratifying thing
to myself and those who urged a primary
that the State Executive Committee did
not order a convention. / expect in the
course of the next week to give some ex-
precision that may be of interest to the
people and politicians of the State
Exactly what the former Governor in
tends doing cannot be surmised Some
seem to think that he will announce him
self for the nomination while others say
he has something UP his sleeve on an
other line, perhaps a suitable candidate.
Relatives OF Captain Johnston would not
give intimation as to what steps are to
be taken, but the general opinion of
those who do not claim to be followers is
that Captain Johnston Is going to be a
candidate
Others seen say that the plan adopted
In Montgomery yesterday is satisfactory
and VIII work like charm.

Widow and Son MISSING.

c. B. Carter reported to the Sheriff
|, this afternoon that Mrs. Lett. widow
resiring near Gilbert Station, Woodlawn
and her son, Charles Lett. had been miss
ing for three days and that foul play was
suspected. The two had been warned sew
eral times that unless they left the place
at once something would happen to them
and 1t is possible they left because of
these warnings. A lot of bloody clothes
were recently found in the nelghborhood
of Gilbert Station. The matter being re-
ported to the Sheriff caused an investi-
cation and it was learned that two physl-
clans buggies were seen in that neigh
borhood in the night time. There is a
theory that duel was fought by two
men and that Mrs. Lett and her son saw
it and that they were warned TO leave
The Sheriff is making an investigation
