l_ Four Negroes Shot to Heath, Two
Burned and Two White Men Hurt.
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. The sheriff of Early county
' / also was in charge of a posse bent
tly : upon capturing the three accused
Sl^xnen. : 1?

fcjjr.V. was on us way tu ms iuhuci uumc m
I|t Griffin, Ga., $id the posses come upon
Pthe negroes suspected of the shootf?&;
f '
; As one posse surrounded two neJgroes
the latter opened fire, and the
lire was returned with deadly effect.
| Only a few rounds were exchanged
when the negroes ceased shooting.
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. The negroes fired' and
.then shut themselves in.

up at one side of the house, where
there were no windows and set fire to
the building. 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.

Only a race horse, but so famous
that her demise was a matter of in
terest to the country* at large. Time
"was when Nancy Hanks was the idol
of the turft, the most talked-of and
written-up horse in the world. She
held the trotting record against all
competitors, a satin-coated creature
; : . that caught the spirit of the race as
if it were an inspiration. Many a
L: ^ race track habitue remembers her
with a feeling that is close to affec
? tion. The years of her truimphs are
long past, she had spent a green old
age on the blue grass pasture of Kentucky
and now she has. gone to her
death full of honors.

In the old days, when she was

young, horse racing was a "gentleman's

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. Arnold likes.a
good story and tells one well. Here
is his latest:

prehension began to be evident in the I
family when a husky young man became

"The woman of the'house decided
the matter was serious enough to
warrant investigation and approached
the cook on the subject.
" 'Annie,' she said, T notice that
young man around here, rather frequently."
" 'Yes, mum," was the diffident reply.
" 'Do you think his intentions are
serious?'
" 'I think so, mum. He's already
began to complain of my cooking.' "
A Reasonable Advance.
I There is a young author in Balti- |
more who is determined to achieve
fame in the writing line if it takes
his whole life, says Harper's .Magazine.
Accordingly, he is even willing
to defray the cost of putting on

On the occasion of his last visit to
his publisher, however, he was somewhat
vexed, a rather unusual thing
for him.
"Why," asked he, "do you
charge me more this time than before?"
"Well," said the publisher, with
the utmost frankness, "the compositors
were constantly falling asleep
over your last novel."

How to Live to 100.
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. Itjs not
good for man or woman to live alone.
"Don't worry over anything. Worry
kills more people than disease.

The Word Boclie. 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.
It is in no way related to the Ameri- g
