COMMITTEE is CALLED.
viii Set Date for Primary In Lauder
dale County.

Florence, January 24.-(Special)-A
meeting of the democratic county execu-
tive committee has been called for Feb
ruary 10, to fix a date for the primary
election to be held in this county There
are many candidates in the field for the
lesser offices and the fact that Florence
will have a man in the race for lieutenant
governor, in the person of Emmett
O'Neal, and one for circuit judge Paul
Hodges, will give additional interest to
the contest in this section. All the can
didates who have expressed an opinion,
and most of the voters, favor late pri-
mary.
While there are seven seeking the office
of sheriff, there is, up to the present,
only one announcement for the legisla-
ture, John L. Hughston, the clerk of the
probate court. OF the two members from
I.auderdale in the last Legislature, Capt.
r. T. Simpson has since been elected a
member of the supreme court of Alabama
and H. A Killen, the veteran member
from Green Hill. will undoubtedly be a
candidate for another term.

Badly MutiIated Remains Found

DISAPPEARED CHRISTMAS
Priceville Woman Was Worth consid-

Shrouded In Much
Mystery.

Decatur, January 2A-(Special)- AFTER
a months search and with reward Of
fered a negro while hunting rabbits near
Priceville, ten miles east of Decatur,
found the horribly decomposed and ghost
ly remains of Miss Martha Thompson ly-
ing on her back in a gulley in a lonely
woods near Prceville this morning.
Miss Thompson had been missing from
the residence OF her sister, Mrs. James
Fennell, where she had been making
her home, since the afternoon of Christ
mas day. On Christmas she went to the
home of another sister, Mrs Roundtree. a
distance of some three mills, where she
took dinner. About 4 o'clock in the after
noon she started on her return to Mrs.
Fennells, and coming to the home of
neighbor about half way between the
homes of her two sisters, she stopped and
asked to stay all night She was told
that she had best go on home or Mrs.

Marks Indicate Foul Play.

This was the last ever seen of her until
today when her ghostly and almost unrec-
ognizable remains were found by the
negro hunter. 1t is said that marks on
her body strongly indicate foul play, but
why she should be murdered is a ques-
ton as mysterious as was that of her
disappearance. 1t was known that she
had no valuables on her person when
she disappeared Whether or not Miss
Thompson was really murdered for some
cause will probably never be known defln-
itely, as her body was in such a state of
decomposition as to make a thorough eX-
animation of the remains matter of i'm
possibility. short time after she was
missing a snuff box, lunch basket tuck
comb, a banana and a lock Of her hair
were found near the spot where she was
last seen.
A peculiar feature of the case Is that
the body was found soma distance from
where Miss Thompson was last seen and
in spot nearby where she had passed
on her way to her sisters, Mrs. Fen
nells.
Miss Thompson was y spinster about so
years of age, and owned valuable farm
lands, although she had but little ready
money. She was said 10 be of unsound
mind. but was not regarded as being
crazy and was at all Zines able to go
about visiting by herself. Some time ago
the court appointed ner nephew, Joe
Roundtree of Hartselle. as her guardian.
She had been in the habit of going un-
accompanied from Mrs. Fennells to her
other sister, Mrs. Roundtree's, alone, and
had made the trip many times 1t Is
