5am Rothell Shoots George Lee
to Death Sunday.
Last Sunday afternoon witnessed
the closing of another chapter in an
old family fued in this country.
Sam Rothell a son of Mr B. C.
Rothell, of this city, shot and
killed George Lee, a desperate
character, near his home on the
Tugaio river, about ten miles from
cccoa, and severely wounded
oung Frank Hall, who happened
to be near and was struck with a
bullet intended for Lee.
Lee who is a bad character, at¬
tached Rothell on the road and
threatened to kill him, making an
effort to carry out his threats by
assaulting Rothell with a knife.
R#fc lell tried to escape, but Lee
Fr®Bed him so hard he could not
Kfct away, and to save his own life
hf was compelled to use his gun,
►h : ch he happened to have with
j|im. When he first shot Lee, he
yif tde a run and tried to get on his
horse, which was tied near at hand,
but Lee caugnt him just as he was
about to get away, and commenced
to stab him, whereupon Rothell
shot him down and started to turn
himself over to the officers of the
law, Friends advised him not to
do so till the inquest was held. At
the inquest it was decided that the
hilling was justifiable and no war¬
rant lias been issued for him, It is
not likely that he will be arrested.
Frank Hall, a fourteen year old
boy who witnessed the affair’ was
accidentally shot by one of the balls
‘ from RothelPs
The Rothell-Lee fued, which has
existed for several years, on yester¬
day afternoon resulted in the death
of George Lee and the serious
wounding of Frank Hall. Reports
to the ^effect reached Toccoa last
Monday. The Jscene of the diffi¬
culty was ten miles from Toccoa,
on the Georgia side of Tugaio
river, Sam Rothell was assaulted
with a knife by George Lee.
Rothell attemped, it is said, to es¬
cape from Lee without trouble, be¬
lieving that Lee was drinking.
W hile in the act of mounting hi*
horse, Lee made several cuts at
R.0 \ hell,cutting his hat and clothes-
Rothell was so hard pressed that
his effort to escape on his horse
failed, and he then turned and
fired several shots, one of which
passed through Lee’s body just a-
bo\e the heart, death ensuing in
about fifteen minutes
Frank Hall, a boy u-.toggt f‘ urteen
years of age, who witness* d the
trouble, was shot thr- ugh the shout
der by one of the bails from Roth
ell’s pistol. Ha l will recover.
The shooting occurrred up in the
mountain* in one oi the wildest
sections of 11 a ber>ham com tv. The
Lees, and there are foui of them
left, live on the Carolina side of
Tugaio river. Until a few* years a-
go the** Rot hells also lived on the
Carolina side, but have nowinoved
away from that section to Toccoa
and other points, all except Sum,
who moved just across the river on
the Georgia side.
It was near Sam’s home that the
shooting took place.
H. C. Rothell, the father of the
Rothell boys, is one of Toccoa’s
most substantial business men.
having moved here about two
years ago from the Carolina side.
Toccoa, Georgia, November 7 1902.
The Rothell boys are calied good
citizens, whose courage is undoubt-
ed, while the Lees are considered
desperate men.

wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing

wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra¬

Brains on the Farm.
An Orange-grower used to say
playfully.bnt with hidden meaning,
tnat he did not dread the typhlo-
oleivorus and that the par-
latoria yergandii had no terrors
for him. On the contrary, he con¬
sidered them as putting ducats in
his pocket.
When these plagues and similar
ones were most abundrnt he cheer¬
fully set about his preparations to
to make some money. If all men
had no scale in their groves it would
be a monotonous and uninteresting
situation, but if all had the scale,
this grower was morally certain,
from past observation, that 9^ per
cent, of them would not disturb
the pests.
But he would spray the trees
with sulphur solution for the one
and kerosene emulsion lor the other,
and as a result w ould 1) v<* clean,
bright or fa..wy fruit, foi vS .1 ich he
would obtain a better price than
he woUid if the oilier 95 per cent,
had sprayed likewise. Hence, with
the Frenchman, he would say,
“Vive le scale!—with a spray-phmp
attachment. *» There is money in
scale—when the other fellow has
it.
Take another illustration : Last
spring thestate experienceda drouth
of great severity. The sandy lands
of Fiordia—it is less true of the
hammocks—have a wonderful ca*
pacity for retaining soil moisture
and bringing up more from below
by capillary attraction. To new¬
comers from the North these soils
are a marvel. They can hardly be¬
lieve th^ir eyes when, after weeks
of rainless weather which would
destroy most farm crops in their
section, they can readily uncover
moist soil by a single thrust of
slioetip,

is worth untold millions to Fiordia

The writer was familiar with
two orange groves, side by side on
identical soil. One by means ot
constant shallow cuiii.re, was kept
supplied with noisture from those
hidden springs of waters, so that
it retained its fruit and foliage dur¬
ing a drouth ; the other, from lack
of tillage, rolled its leaves and cast
its orange,so that the bottom drop
