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. Luck in Thirteen. By sending 13 miles Wm.

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.

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, This is a single little fact which is worth untold millions to Fiordia It generally recognized and appro- priated it would render forever uu- necessary all irregation plants, ex¬ cept on bald sand rges or certand'i classes of muckland.
