'McRUFFIE" WILL BE COUNTY.
Promoters Carry Election by ? to 1.
McCormick County Seat.
McCormick, Dec. 29.-By an over
whelming vote, 619 to 97, the pro
moters of the "McDutlle" county
movement won out in the election
held to-day in the portions of Abbe
ville, Edgefield and Greenwood coun
ties affected. The proposed new
county territory In eacli old county
gave more than the two-thirds in
favor of "McDuffle" county, which,
after expected favorable action by
the General Assembly, will be South
Carolina's forty-fifth county, the
Palmetto State's "baby." This town
will be tho county seat.
The vote In detail, as reported, is
as follows: Abbeville, 375 for and
61 against; Edgefield, 193 for and
23 against; Greenwood, 51 for and
13 against.
This is regarded as a great victory,
lt comes ten years after the first
election, which was also by an over
whelming vote carried for the new
county, which lost out on account of
a very Blight error In the matter of
territory due to a slight inaccuracy
in the s' rvey. The territory this
time has been accurately surveyed
and the pi >ple of this territory now
look confidently to the General As
sembly for the formation ol' their
much-needed and cherished new
county.
The fight lins been long, bard and
j tedious, but everybody feels fully re
paid for the part that he contributed
towards this overwhelming victory
and the ultimate attainment of the
formation of this new rouiity.

Points Out Germany ls still Fighting
on Enemy's Territory.
Berlin, Jan. l.-Emperor William,
in a New Year's message to the army
ami navy, asks them to face the new j
year unflinchingly and to look for
ward to new deeds and new victories
for the beloved fatherland. The
message reads:
"After five long months of heavy
and hot lighting, we enter the new
yea r.
"Brilliant victories have been
gained and great successes achieved
by the German army almost, every
where on the territory of the enemy,
while repeated attempts of our oppo
nents to swarm on German territory
have failed.
"My ships hase covered themselves
with glory on every sea, and the
crews have proved not only that thev
know how to light, victoriously, hut
to die like heroes when overwhelmed
hy superior forces.
"Behind the army and the navy the
entire nation stands In unexampled
harmony, prepared to sacrifice its
heart's blood for the sacred domestic
hearth which we are defending
against outrageous invasion. .Much
has come to pass in the old year, but
the enemies are still firmly kept low.
Always fresh hordes are rollin-.; up
against our army and the army of
our faithful allies, but their numbers
do not frighten us. Although the
limes may be serious and the task
before us a heavy one. we look for
rard into the future willi the firmest
confidence.
"Nex1 to Hod's Wise guidance. 1
trust to the matchless bravery of the
army and navy, and know myself to
he as one with the entile Herman
nation. Therefore, let us face the
new year unflinchingly, looking for
ward to new deeds and new victories
for our beloved fatherland.

K-.
Abbeville, Dec. 31.-Percy Thop
kins, of Antoine street, Montreal,
Camula, fell beneath a moving freight
train here this afternoon and re
1 ceived Injuries from which be will
probably die. Thopkins is about 18
years old, is intelligent and appears
to be of good breeding. He was
caught beating a ride on a train and
, sentenced to serve 30 days on the
i chain gang. His general demeanor
; won the confidence and esteem of
! many persons. He had completed
I his terni and been discharged. He

noon, following injuries he sustained
Saturday afternoon, when be was
shot, presumably accidentally, by his

is about 2 1 years ol' age' and is in
jai' here.
lt is said that the Normans live
in York county, but that the shooting
took place in the King's Creek sec
tion in Cherokee county. This story,
however, is contradicted by those
who say that Jim Norman was stand
ing in the front yard of his home on
Saturday shooting with a pistol at
toy balloons, that his father came
from the house while this pastime
was coing on ann the older man was
shot in the client as the boy fired at

the spinal column and producing pa
ralysis. The injured man was
rushed to Gaffney. The Inquest will
be held here to-morrow morsing.

Floyd, of Spartanburg, nas at last
gotten his liquor. In Magistrate
danit's court this afternoon the ship
ment of twelve gallons of corn li
quor, seized yesterday afternoon by
Sheriff White upon its deliverance to
the mayor at the Southern depot, was
turned over to the mayor, the court
holding that here was no evidence
to show that the liquor was received
by Mayor Floyd for illegal purposes,
but only for his personal use.
Tho bearing before Hie magistrate,
which was brought under process of
claim and delivery, was lively at
finies. When one of the witnesses
for the State said no had bought li
quor from Mayor Floyd in 1911, the
mayor called him a liar, promptly
and with force. Tito mayor apolo
gized later to the court, saying he
was so shocked and surprised by
such a statement he had completely
forgotten himself.
