BAPTIST CHURCH
 WILL BE REBUILT
CONGREGATION AT EUFAULA TO TAKE ACTION TOWARD RE- STORING THEIR CHURCH AT AN EARLY DATE.

1ufaula August 14.-(Special) )-Hun- dreds of citizens and visitors viewed the ruins of the First Baptist church yester- day and today, and plans for rebuilding are already being discussed. The fire was not entirely subdued until yesterday morning, although citizens and firemen worked vigorously almost ali night. It has been found that the sils and flooring, together with the walls, is in a fair state of preservation, and architects are of the opinion that they can be used to great ad- vantage in case it Is decided to rebuild the old structure. This, however, Is a matter over which there Is some discus sion. There is one evident fact, however, and that Is the members seem determined to begin work in some direction at the earliest possible moment. It is believed by many that $15,o0O would erect very handsome edihce If the walls and ground work of the present building are utilized and it would be no trouble to raise the additional S5000 which would be required above the amount of insurance. No defln- ite action in the matter will be taken perhaps, until the pastor the Rev. H. B. " iith' ''ii' N4ip 10 iOW hpoulb Oli HIS va cation, returns to the city. The members of the Presbyterian church have very kindly rendered the use of their building until the middle of September, when their pulpit will be supplied.

TRESPASSER SHOT

 CTS Leg MRS. SOL LEHMAN DIES Dead Woman Had Lived in Selma Thirty-Five Years-Sema Man Receives Injuries in Fire
 at Dothan.
MRS. SOL LEHMAN DIES

Selma August 14.-(Special )-Last night about o'clock on Green street, five shots rang out on the still summer air. As the smoke cleared a howl of pain was heard as John Anderson. negro, limped away.
 Only one of the five shots had taken effect, and that in the foot of Anderson. They were fired by Bill Haynes, who lives with his mother on the lower end of Green street. It seems that Anderson persisted in passing through the premises occupied by Haynes mother. He had been warned not to make a thoroughfare of the yard, but did not heed the warning, and as he passed along last night Bill de- clared he would put a stop to him and securing his trusty revolver he went out on the porch and proceeded to unlimber and let all five loads go.
 Fortunately, but one of the shots took effect. After the shooting and thinking from the noise made that a mortal wound had been inflicted, Bill took leg bail and at this writing had not been apprehended.
 This morning shortly after ? o'clock death came to Mrs. Solomon Lehman, putting an end to intense suffering of many days and removing from the midst of this people a good woman, who go friends were many and of whom was said nothing but greatest praise.
 As d mere girl, Mrs. Lehman, then Miss Cohn, came to Selma from Mobile, where she was born. This was fully thirty-fve years ago. She was married to MT. Sol Lehman a year or so after coming to Selma and has presided over his home and exemplified all that was worthy in wife and mother ever since.
 About eighteen months ago she devel- oped an ailment which has steadily grown worse, and lately it became known that she co>d not survive Patiently she awaited the end, sustained by the nope and prayer of her faith. She Is survived by her husband and one son. Maurice Lehman. and by three sisters, Miss The resa Cohn of this city, Mrs. Schwab of Greenville, Miss, and Mrs. Seigle of Bir- mingham. The funeral will take place this afternoon at o'clock from the late residence on Broad street
 Information reached the city today of injuries received by MT. H. r. Stearnes in Dotham last night at a fire in the hotel there Mir Stearnes formerly lived here, and his daughter. Mrs. Gary Hooper, lives here now. Information of the se- rlous injury to her father did not reach Mrs. Hooper until about noon, whe na long distance message was received. MT. Stearnes was compelled to jump from the second story window of the hotel to keep from being burned to death. His leg was broken, his thigh dislocated and one arm broken. While the injuries are not necessarily fatal they are exceedingly painful and serious.

An Omission in the DingIey Bill.

From the New York Times.
 The failure of the framers of the Ding ley tariff law to incorporate specific proVso in the act for frogskins has re- suited in a clash between the government and importers regarding the rate of duty to be levied on them.
 Mogi, Momonoi x Co.,, Japanese im- porters of this city, recently entered a consignment of the skins which were in- tended for conversion into purses and similar articles. Collector Stranahan con- suited the appraiser of the port and the importers were informed that frogskins were leather" and therefore dutiable at 20 per cent ad valorem.
 The duty was paid and a protest lodged with the board of general appraisers, which Is now trying to determine what classification the skins should come un- der.
 The Japanese firm insists that the ar- ticles are properly free of duty under the provision in the exemption list of the tariff for "hshskins.' The importers point out that frog legs are always set down on hotel menus under the head of fish.

All of the old plant was burned to the ground, and also one of the warehouses flled with manufactured goods and the dye works were burned. It is not known exactly how the fire originated. There are two theories; one that the building was set fire by a lightning bolt, which struck the building during a thunder storm last night; another Is that 1t caught from some hot rollers in one of the work rooms This plant Is one of the largest in this section of the state, and the de- struction of so much of 1t will put a large number of workmen out of em- ployment.

Dividing the Responsibility.

From the Bench and Bar.
 Early in Baron Huddlestons career at the bar he shared rooms with another barrister. Bodkin went one evening to take tea and wine with the future baron, and he particularly noticed the dirty, slovenly appearance of the clerk who waited upon them, and of whom the host had for the nonce assumed exclusive pos session.
 Bodkin strongly advised Huddleston to insist on a change in the treatment of the youngsters person and appearance and said it was scarcely decent to have a person in that dingy condition about him. ''I do not much like to interfere was the reply, 'he looks upon Mir. T. as his mas ter, and at the utmost l cannot claim more than half of him.
 Then" said Bodkin, 'I would. at all events, make him wash my half of his face.''
