E Blakely, Ga., Dec. 30.?Four negrces were shot to death, two negroes burned alive, two white men se riouslv wounded and others slightly wounded in a series of battles folight in Early county late today in an effort to capture the slayers of Henry Villipigue, farm overseer on the river : plantation owned by E. H. Coachman, of Clearwater, Fla. Sheriff Howell was in charge of a posse that burned a negro house in which Granison Goolsby. negro farmer, and his two sons were barricaded with other negroes' this afternoon. Goolsby and another negro were shot dead in trying to escape from the flames. Two white men were wound ? ed. Goolsby's sons sought refuge in another cabin, which also was fired by E: v the posse, and the sheriff and his dep|J: utjes brought back the news tonight that both of these negroes were burned. They faced certain death to P attempt to escape. [K Villipigue was the overseer on E. p V; H. Coachman's river plantation. He |k was'killed in the presence of his wife iB-i by three negroes, presumably because, Ik* be had chastised a negro boy on the night before. I--' Shot in the Back. He was shot in the back with a rung shell, filled with large shot, a "0.' terrible hole being torn in his body. ^' ' "Villipigue lived only ten minutes. Nil! other shots were fired, some of these ? barely missing Mrs. Villipigue. Granison Goolsby, a negro, and his |;,r two sons, who resided on Col. A. J. Singletary's plantation near Pleasant .Grove, were accused of the shooting flk and posses started out in pursuit of |Ei them as soon as news of the shooting fv spread.

V Both negroes were found dead. They ?were identified as Early Hightower, a j cousin of the Goolsbys, and Jim Burton. They were not implicated .in the killing of Overseer Villipigue, it was stated, and the posse continued the chase. During this afternoon the negroes .were located in a negro's house on m-] pick Sermon's plantation. They were 07:-. barricaded there and heavily armed. posses closed in on the house j?i and demanded the surrender of the ?1,J negroes. The Goolsbys and others j|p?&were inside.

When the flames were upon them the negroes made a dash fdr the open air. They fired into the posse and two white men, Olive Hudseth and Sam Hilman, fell wounded. Hundreds of shots were fired at the negroes by members of the posse and Granison Goolsby, the leader of the negroes, fell dead, as did another negro whose name has not been obtained. The two Goolsby boys and the other negroes got away, though some IrV of them are believed to have been wounded. Xancy Hanks. ? .

Not More Tlian Half Notify State Health Hoard of Typhoid Caves. There were 4 74 deaths from tyj phoid fever in South Carolina during j the first ten months of 1915. which is I annroximatelv one-third the number I of deaths from pellagra for the same ! period. It is computed, 011 a basis I of 10 per cent, of the cases to typhoid I fever being fatal, that there were 4.740 cases of- the disease in the State, which is a considerable reduction from previous years. "Its mode of transmission is well known," said James A. Hayne, M. D.. State health officer, in his annual report. "Proper disposal of human excreta and proper protection of water ! supplies, clean milk in the homes, de-' | structiom of the breeding places of flies and the proper isolation and screening of patients will absolutely stamp out this disease. "It is probable that not more than one-half of the physicians report as they should. me oureau 01 vuai statistics furnishes us with the number of deaths, but it is then too late to fight the disease. What we want to know is when the disease occurs, j the first cases in -the community, so l that we can prevent other cases. The law requires physicians to make this report, but public sentiment does not force physicians to obey this law." ! THE HELL OF BATTLEFIELDS. Austrian Archduke Declares Fighting Bitterest of the War. A dispatch from the correspondent* of the Berliner Tageblatt giving details of the conflict being waged between Austrians and Italians on the Isonzo, declares that the fighting now going on there is the bloodiest and most bitterly contested of the whole campaign. The Archduke Joseph Ferdinand, the Austrian commander, is quoted as characterizing the struggle about Goritz in this region as "the hell of the battlefields." The losses here, says the report, J X 1 are enormous ana uie exyexiunuic ui t ammunition something beyond belief. Airmen, it is said, are playing an important and dramatic role in the contest. The Italians are using great war birds of a new type which are armored and are equipped with machine guns. Frequently whole squadrons of these craft take part in the aerial battles. In (he Poena valley (Rienz) one of our detachments attacked and destroyed an enemy field fort west of the Marogna bridge, southeast of Schluderbach. In the Monte Nero zone our troops have renewed their attacks on the steep slopes of Mrzli and Vodil. After a stern struggle with varying fortunes strong enemy intrenchments remained in our possession. The accurate fire of our artillery destroyed three enemy machine guns. On the heights northwest of Goritz the enemy, having been strongly rein forced, made violent counter auacKs throughout the day and succeeded in some places in breaking into our new trenches, but after furious hand to hand fighting was thrown back. On the Carso plateau our troops developed an energetic offensive along the northern slopes of Monte San Michele and toward San Marino, where we stormed several minor trenches. Altogether during the day we took 702 prisoners, 15 of whom were officers, three machine guns and considerable war material.?London Dispatch. Positive Proof. Circuit Judge G. B.

Henry F. Swanback, the oldest Odd Feliow in America, who lives at the age of 100 in Greenwood, Neb., was a boyhood friend of Bismarck. His grandfather lived to be 117. Following are his rules for living to be 100: "Go to bed early and get up early. "Never sleep in a heated room. "Keep fresh air in the sleeping room. "Sleep out of doors in summer? winter, too, if it can be arranged. "Drink plenty of fresh water. "Use very little red liquor. "As old age comes on take, each morning, a small wineglass of onethird glycerine and two-thirds good whiskey. "Smoke as often as you please, but do not inhale the smoke or blow it out through the nostrils: ; "If you are unfortunate enough to lose your wife get another.

JJ The word "boche," a new one in the French language, introduced since the beginning of the great war as a designation to be applied to a German, is regarded as a most offensive expression when applied by any one to a French man or woman. It now figures frequently in French courts as a term of abuse, for which the user sometimes pays a money penalty or as much as eight days of I imprisonment. Recently nine women were brought into court and the complainant. a man, asked for 2,000 francs as damages because these dames had called him a "boche." One definition of the word says that it is a shortening of the word "caboche," which, interpreted into English, means a dunderhead, a nincompoop, a blockhead, a numskull, an ignoramus, a muttonhead and several 0 other things which the German is not.
