PROMINENT BANKER KILLS
WIFE AND SELF ON LONELY
ROAD NEAR HOLLY SPRING

Canton, Ga. - Unwillingness to
leave his wife to face life penniless
and alone led John N. King, ST., for
mer retired capitalist and banker of
Rochelle and Sylvester, to shoot her
and then kill himself, it was revealed
in an inquest into their deaths, held
here Tuesday afternoon after the
finding of their bodies on road near
Holly Springs.
Although notes left by King limited
at suicide pact the probe failed to
establish such an agreement and the
verdict rendered was that Mrs. King
came to her death as result of two
bullet wounds through the head, in
fiicted by her husband, and that King
had then killed himself.
The bodies were found in a small
coupe drawn up alongside lonely
road near Holly Springs on the At
lanta highway early Tuesday. The
pair ha ddied clasped in each others
arms. They had been dead for sew
eral hours and evidence introduced
at the inquest indicated that the
double killing had taken place about
midnight Monday after they had left
the Marble Inn, at Tate, managed by
Mrs. King. 1t is presumed that they
had started for Atlanta as the car
was headed in that direction. The
gasoline tank of the coupe was emp
ty and it is thought that this might
have led King to act on the determi-
nation to kill his wife and himself,
which he evidently had fostered for
some time.
Several notes to friends and rela-
tives and one to his son, John N.
King, Jr., employee of an Atlanta
bank, were found on Kings person.
They told of a vain struggle against
financial reverses that eliminated in
the failure of the Manley chain of
banks in which King is believed to
have suffered heavy personal losses.
One note addressed to "The Pub
lie" said that i'll health, coupled with
financial reverses and an unwilling
ness to leave his wife alone, had de-
cided him to end everything.
A short poem, the text of which
was not made public at the inquest,
written by Mrs. King praising her
husband and expressing her love for
him, was found in Kings pocket. A
request was written on this in Kings
handwriting that the poem be buried
with him.
The dead mans son and Judge G.
A. Johns of Winder, the slain wo-
mans brother, arrived here in time
for the inquest and took charge
of funeral arrangements. The bodies
were shipped to Rochelle for burial.

McCUTCHEON YARN
MAKES GREAT FILM

The eidelweiss, fragile flower of
the everlasting Alpine SHOWS, forms
an important bit of background for
"Graustark," the celebrated George
Barr McCutcheon novel which has
been picturized by Joseph M. Schenck
for First National, with Norma Tai
madge as star.
When it became necessary for
members of the company to devise
an entire kingdom in which to set
the charmingly romantic story, the
eidelweiss was selected as Grau-
stark's national symbol. 1t is widely
used on uniforms of soldiers, in the
city's decorations, and for Grapes and
bas-relief figures inside the palace.
Norma Talmadge appears in one
of her most charming roles in this
romantic drama. AS the Princess
Yetive, she is once more the lovely
young woman who has won such a
permanent place in the nations af-
lection. Eugene O'Brien appears as
Grenfall Lorry, the handsome young
American adventurer, and the sup
porting cast includes Marc McDer-
mott, Roy Darcy, Albert Gran, Lii
lian Lawrence, Michael Vavitch,
Frank Currier, Winter Hall, Wanda
Hawley and others.
"Graustark" will be shown at the
Grand Theatre Monday and Tuesday.

CONSTRUCTION WORK In
SOUTH SHOWS NO LET-UP
ON ACCOUNT OF WINTER

Atlanta, Ga.-There is large vol
ume of construction in the South
east this fall, again emphasizing the
fact that in this section of the coun-
try, wit hits favorable climate, build
ing is not seasonal operation, ac-
cording to the Industrial Index of
Columbus, Ga. Indee dthe South
builds through the winter without
cessation. There are only few
weeks in mid-winter when building
is interrupted.
The Index says the volume of fall
winter construction in the Southeast
has steadily increased in recent years
and will continue to increase.
GIN spring and summer every Sec
ton of the country is busy building
and there is a heavy demand on the
building material industry, often tax
ing the resources of both manufac-
turer and distributor" says the In
dex. GIN the winter, the demand for
building material in the Northern
section of the country naturally re-
lakes, as the weather conditions there
sharply curtail the volume of con-
struction, and the South finds both
material and labor conditions more
satisfactory owing to the lessened
demand for these essentials. Again,
much of the fall-winter season in the
South is almost ideal for active out
door work, and fine progress is made
on construction jobs. So, all in all,
there is combination of peculiarly
favorable conditions in the South for
winter building"
