WOMAN STRICKEN
 AT CHURCH ALTAR
Mrs. C. J. Barnes Falls a Vic-
 tim to Paralysis
CAUSED GREAT EXCITEMENT
Was Standing at the Altar Receiving Right Hand of Fellowship From Members of Selma Church
 When Stricken Down.

Selma, June 23.-(Special. )-Yesterday toward the close of the morning services in the First Baptist church the congre- gation was thrown into great excitement by the sudden affiiction that came to Mrs C. J. Barnes, a stroke of paralysis com ing upon her as she stood before the altar being received into the church.
 Mrs. Barnes who Is GA years of age had been a member for many years of the Second Baptist church. of which for some years one of her sons, Rev. J. E. Barnes was pastor. Within the past year she suffered with two slight strokes of paral- ysis and having moved her residence into the far western portion of the city she decided to place her membership in the First Baptist church, as 1t would be greatly more convenient to attend ser vices there. Accordingly she received her withdrawal letter last week and Sun day 1t was placed with the First Baptist congregation. After the sermon. with seven others, she took her place before the altar to receive the right hand of fel- lowship of the congregation. When bu: part of the members present had passed along and welcomed her she was seen to reel and would have fallen but for the strong arms stretched forth that caught her and bore her to the seat In front Of the altar.
 The congregation was hurriedly dis missed and medical aid summoned. The entire of her lower limbs was affect ed by the stroke, nor could she speak. She was finally removed to her home on Lamar street, but her condition was be- yond hope and without ever regaining consciousness death came to her shortly before noon today.
 Before Justice of the Peace Lloyd today Is being tried Walter Trammel, charged with assault with intent to kill Jacob Williams. Williams Is a negro, and he was passing through Falrland, near the Estelle Cotton Mill on Monday night af. ter the Saturday evening on which the old negro was killed at the end of Val ley Creek bridge he was shot and wound ed in the leg Trammel was arrested on the charge, but there Is little likelihood of the same being proven as the negro Is unable to identify the person who shot him.
 Selma has had two visitors within the past few days that may or may not have had to do with politics. On Friday State Senator Jones c. Moore of Bibb- Birmingham was in Selma He saw but few persons, but was at dinner with State Senator Nunnelee and Col. w w. Quarles. Yesterday D. N. Meadow of Marengo was in the city. He was seen in conversation with Colonel Quarles.
 The statement of the chairman of the board of registrars of Marengo County that 303 negroes have been registered in that county, creates considerable com ment in Dallas, where with twice the negro population, but H negroes have been registered.

The party stopped at a trough near Hardwicks 8 place to water their horses Hardwick was standing at the trough leaning on a shotgun.
 When Dr. Thomson leaned over his horses neck to watch the animal drink" continued MT. Thomson. 'Hardwick stepped to pr. Thomason's side and mumbled something unintelligible to the others. The doctor replied: No ones afraid of you; you've never killed any one yet
 "Hardwick then raised his gun and fired both barrels, the loads entering Thomasons abdomen. As the wounded mans horse wheeled, Hardwick broke his gun reloaded and fired a third time into Thomasons back and was in the act of firing the fourth time, when the other men prevented him."
 Thomason's body was literally riddled from heels to head wNh bullets. The dead mans pistol was in his saddlebag and was untouched by him.
 Hardwick's children were witnesses to the shooting in a small strip of woods near the branch.
