Rutland Justified in Killing Cox, who Attacked With Hatchet. (Atlanta Georgian, 18th.) With his marriage i t for next Tuesday, an insane jealousy on the part of L. P. Cox is now belioved to have boen the underlying motive that prompted his display of intense ha tred for tho two Rutland brothers and his attack on them, resulting in. Cox being shot to death Thursday af ternoon by Oscar E. Rutland In the Paris Electric Theatre in Whitehall street. After several witnesses had testi fied that Cox advanced on Rutland with a hatchet, Justice of the Peace Orr, before whom a preliminary hearing was had Friday morning at 0 o'clock, promptly freed the young man, remarking that this was one of the clearest cases of self-defense he had over heard. Although nothing was brought out In the trial touching on the hereto fore hidden cause of the tragedy, lt has developed that Cox was jealous of the brother of the slayer, John W. Rutland, manager of the commissary of the Aragon Mills at Aragon, Ga. When Cox saw Rutland and his bro ther, Oscar, In Whitehall street on Thursday afternoon his jealousy leaped like a flame. Arming him self with a hatchet, he is said to have picked a quarrel with John Rutland, but Berlous trouble was prevented by J, B. Prater, of 37 East Mitchell street. Cox's business partner, who took Rutland away from the scene. Apparently maddened to au un controllable degree, Cox ls said to have then attacked Oscar Rutland, who had gone Into the Paris Theatre, and was in turn shot to death. To Marry Next Tuesday, Cox, it ls stated, was to have been married next Tuesday to Mrs. Lula Rogers, a milliner, who is now stop ping at the Kingston Hotel in Trinity avenue. Mrs. Rogers formerly work ed for John Rutland In the Aragon stores, and this is believed to have formed the basis for the jealousy of her fiance. Cox, it ls said, was jeal ous of any one who paid attention to his fiance and his feelings are said to have been inflamed a short time ago when John Rutland gave Mrs. Rogers a strong letter of recommen dation. The season was over at the Aragon Mills, and, as Mrs. Rogers' services were no longer needed, she was given this recommendation to aid hor in getting another position. Hrldo-elcct Weeps Over Body. Mrs. Rogers visited Hie undertak ing parlors Friday morning and wept as she gazed at the lifeless form of the man she was soon to have wed. John Rutland, in speaking of the matter to a Georgian reporter, said: "I had seen Cox hut a few times, on the occasion of his visits to Ara gon to see Mrs. Rogers, and he had no cause to hate me. 1 am a man of family and there was no reason for him to be Jealous of nie. 1 can ac count for his wild attack on my bro ther and myself in no other way than to say that I think he was crazy. My brother liad never even seen him be fore and didn't know his name." 100 Reward-$100.

Dollar Bills by Weight. (Kansas City Star.) "Dollar bills are worth almost their weight in gold," a bank presi dent said the other day to a depos itor. "Yes, I suppose they come in handy for change and are easy to carry," the depositor replied ab sently. "No, 1 was speaking literally," the hank president said. "We got Into an argument in the bank here the other day as to how much a dollar bill weighed. A $20 gold piece weighs 5 10 grains. We found that twenty-seven crisp, new one dollar bills weigh the same as a twenty dollar gold piece. We tested some bills that had been in use and found that it took hut twenty-six of them to balance the gold piece.

A dis pate u from Augusta, Ga., last week gi 'es the following very int en-si in? account of a church con ference: The culmination of bitte:' factional strife and political differences In the congregation of the Rev. C. M. Wilkinson, pastor of Berean Baptist church, In the mill district of Au gusta, was a stormy conference on Sunday morning, at which the lie passed between two leaders of op posing elements, the chairman's new straw hat was smashed by the well directed umbrella blow of a furious woman who didn't f.-.vor an adjourn ment, and excitement ran to a fever pitch. At Sunday services a resolution was introduced lo request Mr. Wil kinson's resignation. Somebody moved that the "horrid paper" be pasted under the table cover, and be fore the chairman could catch bis breath there were half a dozen* con flicting motions before the house. Then pandemonium broke loose. One member r.ived that the meeting be adjourned, ind lue opposing faction leader spraug to his feet with ano ther suggestion. The two locked lunns, called each other liars and started outdoors to fight it out. When they disappeared around the corner, Chairman Banks, himself a magistrate and a man of peace, de clared the conference at an end. Rap! Mrs. Scoggin's umbrella smashed his new straw hat, and things got warm again. Finally peace was restored, but the grand ship of Zion is a bat tered hulk at Berean Baptist church, and there are the wise ones who opine that she'll never sall again. War Against Consumption. All nations are endeavoring to check the ravages of consumption, the "white plague" that claims so many victims each year. Foley's Honey and Tar cures coughs and colds perfectly and you are In no danger of consumption. Do not risk your health hy taking some unknown preparation when Foley's Honey and Tar ls safe and certain In results. The genuine is in a yellow package. Sold by all druggists. Poultry Notes. Fat hens and lots of eggs are not apt to go together. Cooked heans are rich feed for hens. Have some for use hy and "?y. Hold on with the oil meal now, unless you want to force your hens to molt early. All grain is not a perfect ration, so feed shells and other mineral bearing matter. Boiled potatoes mixed with milk are splendid for growing chicks. Good for laying hens, too. Drop off the meat rations in grass hopper time. Save that for coif! weather, when the hens are shut in. A "Catchy" Advertisement. A minister down in Alabama found his people too poor to purchase hymn books, says an exchange, so being offered the same book free by a patent medicine house, provided they be allowed to insert their adver tisement, ordered three dozen for the congregation. He was elated on see ing them to find no ad In same. The next Sunday he distributed the books, telling his brethren his good fortune, and requested them to sing page 12 0. His chagrin may be imagined when they sang as follows: "Hark, the heavenly angels sing, Johnson's pills are just the thing, And the angelic voices meek and mild. Two for a man and one for a child."

A Charleston dispatch says: By swimming from tho wharf of the Carolina Yacht Club to Sullivan's Is land late on Saturday afternoon, Francis K. Lesesne created what is probably the swimming record on this coast, covering five milos in three hours.

Mr. Lesesne and William Grimball were the swimmers, and in a row boat were John H. Lesesne. Shackel ford McCrady and T. Grange Simons, who were prepared to assist the swim mer In the event of any trouble. Mr. Grimball climbed into the boat just beyond Fort Ripley, as he did not intend to attempt to reach the is ? ind.
