Sandersville, Ga., June 8. —A tragedy occured in Washington county today, in which V illiani L. Knight shot and killed his brother, Nathaniel G. Knight. Nathaniel was wounded in the leg and before a physician could arrive on the scene, Jordan’s Mill, nine miles northeast of Sandersville, he hied to death. The dead man was a bachelor. The two brothers had always lived together, and made money farming, but “B'll” Knight, it is alleged, was a heavy drinker and would be come crazed with drink. Fie had been separated from hi - wife on tic count of this habit. A few weeks ago Knight was tried for lunacy, due to his condi tion when under the influence of liquor, but was released. Apparently he was very much at tached to his brother. It is not known what precipitated the trage dy today, though it probably was the effect of too much liquor. The brothers carried on their bus iness under the name of Knight Brothers and were mutually inter ested in farming and the operation of a grist mill which formerly was the property of Judge James K. H ines’s father, but in recent years has been known as Jordan’s Mill. PAY UP YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, We regret to call attention to the small amount due on your subscrip tion to this paper.
