Mrs. Minnie Flowers, of Macon, Ga.,

Janet B other U the leading lad)
of the film-play "Fine Feathers" bas
?d on the drama of the same name
by Eugne Walter which '-'took the
town by storm," on its presentation
here last season.
"Fine Feathers" will be shown al
the Athens theatre today and patrons
will be assured of having presented
to them a very powerful drama in
an exciting and realistic form.
The story is interesting from the
moral standpoint as well as from the
dramatic. A young wife yearns for
an improvement in her worldly po
sition and chooses unworthy means
to secure the accomplishment of
her desires. In her- fine feathers, she
has a short span of happiness, whieh
is succeeded by a period of the ut
most wretchedness; then she and her
husband resolve to begin life anew
in humble surroundings. If fine
feathers (i. e. money) are to come to
them, it will now be by legitimate
industry and not by theft and de
ception.
Janet Beeeher is the woman io
this case. Miss Beeeher s varied
stage experience stands her in good
stead in the trying role of Jane Rey
nolds, the girl who yearns to shine
in a social sphere above her own,
The play is replete with thrilling
situations, notably the bursting of
a great dam and the flooding of the
surrounding country. This was caus
ed by the perfidy of Bob Reynolds
who passed an inferior cement for the
structure of the dam. And Bob
did this in order to gratify his young
wife's love of "Fine Feathers."
Surely, a valuable moral lesson to
all and sundry who are similarry
tempted. There are other pictures
included in today's program.

declared that ho was a stranger in
that neighborhood.
The wound abovo his heart, which
is believed to have been inflicted by a
bullet from a revolver, was found by
Policeman Robert Tiller. No pistol
was found near the scene, and the

is a plain case of murder rather than
a suicide.
The man is d -scribed M having
light red hair, with a small mustache
and Va n Dyke beard; He wore a
light suit, in which was found only
two articles, they bring a Canadian
dime and a three-tent coin.
The body was badly decomposed,

in the water for a week or more
The body was placed in charge of

Coroner J. Fulmar Bright will view
the body this morning at tho Biley

The farmers have eut out most of
the cotton acreage in this section

nice for the farmers table. Every
thing is looking fine.
We have organised a Sunday school

anyone that will to come in and help

every Sunday aftmwNta at 4 o'clock
Our Quartely Meeting at White

Details of Shoot hit!
The shooting affair occurred in the
residence of W. L. Smoot, who is a
brother of the husband. The brother
speaking of the tragedy shortly af
ter it happened, said his brother
accused his wife of receiving the at
tention of other men and objected
strongly to it. On previous occasions,
he said, his brother had warned her.
Whether or not he had ever made a
threat against her he could not say
Mrs. Smoot, who is but eighteen
years of age, and attractive, spent
the whole of yesterday at the home of
her mother, Mrs. Susie McGregory, at
1412 West Cary street. Yesterday-
evening about seven o'clock Smoot
went to the home of the girl's mother
where she and a friend was seated on
the porch. Smoot shouted to her to
come with him. Upon her refusal he
took hold of her wrist and brought
her to his apartments a few blocks
away. There the tragedy took place
Smoot jerked his wife to him and
pressed the trigger against her skull
After firing the first shot he aimed
at her heart. Smoot then aimed a
his own temple, but in his excitement
shot himself above his right eye. The
bullet' did not penetrate his skull.
Another shot he fired at himself missed
its mark.
The excitement caused by t he fray
aroused neighbors, who 'phoned for
the city ambulance and police. Am
bulance Surgeon B. A. Doggett an
swered the call, and, seeing the
seriousness of the shooting, immedi
ately rushed the couple to the hos
pital. Dr. Doggett experienced much
trouble in handling the man and wife
on his way to the hospital. Oushes
of blood from both wounds needed
bandaging and he was forced to at
tend to both parties at the same time
Detective Sergeants Wiley swore
out the warrant. last night for the ar
rest of Smoot, .while Sergeant John
son and Detective Atkinson kept
guard over the man in the hospital.
Smoot will be examined in Police
Court this morning, if his condition
permits.
Smoot is well known in Richmond
He was a street car conductor for a
long while, but was reoently employ
ed as lineman by the Virginia Rail
way and Power Company. He had
been in the employ of the company
for a considerable time. He is twenty
two years of age.
From neighbors it was learned that
during the first three months of mar
ried life Smoot' and his wife hadman
aged to get along well together, but
in the last month frequent quarrels
had been noted. No motive for the
crime, except tho story told by
8moot'B brother, oan be found. The
parents of the girl refused to talk last
night.
Neither lost consciousness as a re
sult of the shooting. Last night
Smoot was only interested in what he
had done and said that he wished
she (Mrs. Smoot) would go and leave
him alone.
Mrs. Smoot wanted to know
whether or not Smoot was killed.
Smoot seemed to know just what he
had done and appeared calm after
the whole inoident. The loss of blood.
however, had weakened him, and the
officers who went to his room did not
question him to any great extent
from the Hewett home, came up to
the house and was talking to Mrs.
Hewett through the kitchen window
when Hewett appeared on the scene
and ordered Forbes off the premises
Hot words ensued and Forbes, who
a man of considerable physical
strength, is reported to have threaten
ed to tear Hewett limb from limb
At any rate, Hewett picked up a shot
gun and standing barely six leei
away from Forbes fired, the load
entering the man's body below the
left breast and tearing a great hole
through his side.
That Hewett objected to Forces
attentions to his wife is the reason
assigned for the altercation. Mrs
Hewett was formerly Mrs. George
Sawyer. She was divorced by her
first husband, who married again
after she left the state with Hewett
Mr. and Mrs. Hewett returned to
Camden county after Sawyer's sec
ond marriage.
Hewett was arrested and earned to
Camden. He was held for buperior
Court and released on $250 bond.
Forbes is survived by his wife. He
had no children.
