L .
Berkely, Ga., Dec. 'M.?Excitement
y caused throughout this section by
clashes between two nosses and no
groes near here in which seven negroes
were killed and two white men
seriously hurt, had not entirely <iic??l j
down today. Influential white citizens
who were busy until late last
night in efforts to prevent further
^ possible outbreaks expressed the belief,
however, that there would be no
more trouble.
Five of the negroes were shot and
killed and two others were burned to
death, according to reports here, as a
result of three pitched battles be
tween the negroes and various bands |
of whites seeking to capture Gradison
Goolsby, a r.egro farmer, and his two
* sons, Mike and Ulysses, accused of|
assassinating Henry J. Villipiguo, an!
overseer, who had thrashed one of the j
younger Goolshvs. Villinionm
~ * -- i"es"*- *TWO
shot in the hack Wednesday night.
His wife narrowly escaped death
from several shots fired after he fell.
The negroes reported dead as a result
of an all-day hunt which started
Thursday morning when news of
Villipigue's death spread through the
county, and culminated in pitched
battles in which were killed Gradison 1
Goolsby, his two sons, both of whom
were burned in a cabin in which they
sought refuge, "Hosh" Jewell, Charles
Holmes, James Burton and Early
High tower.
4 Jewell and Holmes were killed in
aiding the Goolsbys stand off a posse
led by Sheriff Howell of Early county
Burton and High tower met death resisting
another posse which sought to
search their cabin.
It was estimated that there were
several hundred whites in the various
posses and it was said tlint nvnhnhlvl
^ half a dozen were wounded.
Samuel Pittman and O. B. Hudspeth,
members of the Sheriff's posse,
were the only two whites who were
"known here to have been wounded.
Pittman's arm was broken by a shot
and Hudspeth was shot in the head.
He is expected to recover,
f The killings took place in the westlem
part of this (Early) county aboutj
10 miles west of here and near the!

PETROLEUM SUPPLY
Prospect ot' Exhaustion Not Sufficient
to Justify Excessive Prices.
Washi ngton?Preliminary estimates
of the geological survey on the production
of crude petroleum in 1915,
which are to be used in connection
with the federal inquiry into the
lause of advancing gasoline prices,
were made public today by Secretary
Lane and indicate an increase q1* about
Iwo millon barrels over last year's
output which with a total production
of about 90,000,000 barrels, wa s a
record breaker.
"The present war began with a surplus
of petroleum in field storage,"
*aid the report, "so that production
of crude oil was not pushed. Under
these conditions the small increase in
marketed production was significant.
Of the total yield of the wells the past
year about 8 per cent remains in field
storage, and added to this acre the
stocks hold in storage by the pipe
ine companies, a reserve estimated
3y the survey as 50,000,000 barrels
greater than a year ago.
"The surplus in the United States
is not unlimited, hut the decline in the
country's output of crude oil has not
vet set in. The increase in stocks is
n itself a fairly conclusive rebuttal
if any price boosting plea of pivsent
shortage. Furthermore, the better
market for crude oil which characterized
the closing months of the year
las already somewhat stimulated dril
ing activity, which may contribute to
next years production."

After Runaway Couple Had
Been Foiled in Obtaining*

On January 1st. near Boris, and between

Brooks Strickland was shot in the
thigh by Zade Buffkin being; aided in

Hodge. The wound in the thigh proved
to be serious but at last accounts
the wounded man was doing as we If
as could be expected in the hands of a
physician at Tabor, N. 0., though has
danger was not over.
The affair it seems was the aftermath
of an attempted runaway
match, the principals being Miss billy
Hodge, the daughter of Jeswe
Hodge and the man who was shot,
Brooks Strickland. On the morning
of th? day of the shooting, Brooks
Strickland and Miss Lilly Hodge m
company with John Grainger came to
Conway for the purpose of obtaining
a license to marry Miss Hodge to
Strickland. In the mean time th?
father, Jesse Hodge forbade the issuing
of the license over the telephone,
and when the young couple arrived
here about the middle of the day, the
license was refused it ml being claimed
that the young lady is over MT
years of age, or at least not far boyond
that age.
The paritcs were quietly returning
to their homes and were in a huggp
between Ix>ris and Tabor when the
party was met by Jesse Strickland
and Zude Buffkin. The latter had a
pistol and he drew it on the parties,
and compelled them to stop. Tho
young lady jumped out of the vehicle
and ran oft*. Jesse Hodge ran after
her. Zade Buffkin struck John
Grainger over the head with the pistol,
and when Brooks Strickland got
out of the buggy and was running oft,
Buffkin fired at him the bullet striking
him in the upper part of the thigh
and ranging downward and he fetb
It is stated that the two men offered
no resistance whatever and were going
no further with the preparations
for marriage since the license had
been refused. They tried to drive on
along the road and thus avoid the difficulty,
but were not allowed to do
this by Buffkin.
A warrant was sworn out for Buffkin
and Hodge last Monday and
placed in the hands of the sheriff for
service.
