VOL. XVII,
AS SEEN IN THE GARAGE
Incredulous Critics Cause Us To
Give Owners and Maks of
Winder Mobiles.
There has been some (Joubt ex
pressed in the state press as to
whether Winder really owns as
many automobiles as is claimed for
this town, other sections of the
state failing to realize that this is
no longer a tavern, but a thriving,
prosperous city, forging her way on
to the front as the business center
of northeast Georgia.
The foremost found rymen of
Georgia are citizens of our town.
The leading contractors of the state
have their headquarters here. We
have one of the largest overall
plants in the south, the best mobile
garage outside of Atlanta and a rich
and prosperous territory for our
merchants to draw from. We are
no longer a little town, but a live,
wide-awake, hustling city. But we
diverge. It was our intention to
give the names of mobile owners in
Winder. To the best of our mem
ory they are as follows, including
four which come here for repairs:

SHOOTING AT OAK GROVE
Jim Booth and Byrt Boyd Engage in
Pistol Duel and Booth Is Mor
tally Wounded.
News comes to Winder of the
shooting of James Booth by Byrt
Boyd in front of the former’s house
near Oak Grove Wednesday morn
ing. The two men were neighbors
and there had been ill feeling be
tween them, it is said, for the past
three years. One version of the
difficulty which culminated in a
j pistol duel Wednesday morning is
I to the effect that the men quarreled
Monday ever a trivial matter and
Boyd drew an ax on Booth ,deinand
- ing that la 1 retract something said,
which the latter did and a fight at
that time was avoided.
It is alleged by Boyd that when
he passed along the road Wednes
day on his way to work for a
neighbor, Booth came out from
behind his house carrying a revolver
in a tin bucket, and remarked:
“You had the drop on me, but
I’ve got you now, d —u you,” and
began firing at him, shooting three
times before he could draw bis own
weapon. Boyd returned the lire,
one bullet taking effect in Booth’s
stomach.
Yest< rday morning, according to
the-statement of Mrs. Booth and
her young daughter,who was present
at the time of the shooting, Mr.
Booth bad started to bis carriage
bouse with a tin bucket and some
plows in his hand. He also had
Ids pistol with him. Mr. Boyd was
coining along the road which runs
very close to the carriage house.
As lie approached the two men
got into a conversation and Mr.
Booth asked him to take back some
offensive language he had used to
him a few days previous. To this
15 >yd replied that he would take it
hack all right, that lit' would kill
him, and with that drew his pistol
and began firing. Booth then drew
his pistol and also began firing.
Each man fired three shots, hut
only one took efe ct. The young
daughter of Booth had hold of him
at the time he was shot down. It
is then said that Boyd remarked as
he went away that Booth would not
bother anybody else.
Mr.Boyd,on the other hand claims
that Mr. Booth was the aggressor
in every respect, that Booth had
for tne past two days bo< n carrying
his pistol around laying for him,
that when he passed along with his
little ten year old boy near Booth’s
home yesterday morning, he was
accosted by Booth, who pulled his
pistol out of a tin bucket he had
in his hand and began firing at him,
at the same time referring to the
previous difficulty, that Booth fired
at him three tims before* lie returned
a shot and that Booth fired twice
more before he fell, Boyd says he
shot twice at Booth, one of the
shots taking effect.
Drs. Fnllerlove, of Athens; Dan
iel, of Statham, and Hodges, of
Winder, were called and an opera
tion was decided upon as the
wouned man’s only hope for life,
his intestines having been punctured
in several places by the bullet.
Booth died at 7 o'clock yester
day afternoon on the operating
table.
Mr. Booth was forty-eight years of
age ajd is survived by his wife and
seven children. They have the deep
sympathies of many friends in this

No warrant was sworn out against
Boyd during the day, as it was not

was sworn out about dark last night.
The defendant made no attempt to
