EARTHQUAKE FELT
At MYRTLEWOOD
Shock Was Distinct and Lasted
for Half Minute
NEGRO SHOOTS ANOTHER
Office of Justice of the Peace Is De-
clared Vacant at Selma-Several
Candidates Seek the

Selma. May 19.-(Specal)-Th train
crew of the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, running between Myrtlewood in
Marengo county, and this city, reported
today that perceptible earthquake shock
was felt in Myrtlewood this morning
about 4 O clock. The shock is said to have
lasted for what seemed a half minute,
and the houses rocked to such an extent
that many ran out into their yards in
their night clothes. Myrtlewood is located
upon hillside, and it is argued that If an
earthquake shock really struck that sec
ton it would be felt at such a point more
than any other, So far as known no re-
ports have been received of the shock
having been felt anywhere else in the
neighborhood.
Negro Is Killed.
AT Benton, in Lowndes county, twenty
miles from Selma, occurred a shooting
this morning In which Tom Jones, ne
gro, was killed and Lawrence Patterson.
another negro, was mortally wounded.
Friday night Patterson got on a rampage
and attempted to kill a negro woman at
church near Benton. Tom Jones inter-
fered with him and prevented the deed.
This morning Patterson went to the Ben
ton Mercantile company store and pur-
chased some cartridges. Ten minutes
la,er IN the rear yaru Of n negro barber
shop adjacent to the postoffice he met
Jones and opened fire upon him, three
of the shots taking effect and causing
practically instant death. Patterson was
mortally wounded by officers in attempt
to arrest him.
