OCONEE's STATISTICIAN RIGHT
There Was Error I'm the Figures Fur
niShed by the Government.

Doubtless not a few people noticed
that there was a decided discrepancy
between the cotton figures furnished
direct from the Federal bureau of
statistics and those given out by the
local statiStician, b. r. Moss. Mr.
Moss wired at once to the DEPART
ment, and in reply he received the
following letter:
Washington, ID. c., Dec. 22.-Mr.
b. r. Moss, Walhalla. S. C.-Dear
Sir: The tabulation Of the separate
returns from the ginners for the De-
cember 13 report shows your tele-
graph summary to be correct. There
were 1886 bales of cotton, counting
round as half bales, ginned in Oconee
county, from the crop of 1914 prior
to December 13, 1914, as compared
with 1922 bales ginned prior 10
December 10, 1913.
You will please furnish these to-
tails to all of the newspapers in your
district. Very respectfully,
VIM. J. Harris, Director.

probably the most serious. 1t Is said
that Mr.. Mcclure is suffering consid-
erably.
THE reason why the negroes got
the best of the fight is because we
did not have any great amount of
ammunition" declared Mr. McDon-
aid. Il think | had only three cart
ridges In my pistol, and believe the
other boys were short in cartridges.
The negroes took us by surprise.
Then they had the advantage because
they were shooting shotguns against
our pistols"
Magistrate William Mcclure and
Will Kay came to the city about noon
to-day. Mr.. Mcclure says that "a
shots struck him, and that all but
two of them have been removed. He
Is feeling we'll, and doesn't anticipate
any trouble from the two shots that
have not been cut out. Mr.. Kay re-
ceived only slight wound, one shot
striking him on the left hand.

Guns Roared on Christmas.

Whlle Peace on earth, good will
to men" was echoing throughout the
Western world as the dawn of the
great peace day was approaching
the guns Of the eombatants on the
two great battle fronts in Eurone
were roaring hostility at each other.
From all sources comes news that
the battles, though in most instances
admittedly indeCisive as yet, have
been severe and bloody. In place of
the Christmas truce which Pope
Benedict has been seeking to bring
about, the. world has seen a continu-
ance Of the tragedy which is break
ing the hearts Of countless thousands
in all the lands of the old world.
The French and German reports of
the action on the Western front
agree in that they both say that con-
ditions are relatively unchanged as
result Of the most recent actions.
The Russians in the East claim to
have administered :. ~""ione d"feat
to the Germans in the crushing I.
strong forces which had crossed %
the right bank of the Bzura river,
Poland. The Russians announce vio-
lent fighting at other places and re-
cord the taking of many prisoners.
Now that his efforts to effect a
Christmas truce have failed and in
the belief that his hopes of bringing
about an exchange OF all prisoners of
war will prove futile, Pope Bene-
dict is bending his energies toward
preventing unnecessary suffering by
arranging for the exchange of
wounded prisoners whose injuries
will prevent their going to the front
again.
Celebration Of the Christmas tide
is being held in Paris, in Berlin and
in the trenches.
For the first time England admits
that her shore has been threatened
by aeroplanes, although Berlin re-
ports that German aviators made
successful flight over Dover several
days ago.
Japan has not been requested to
send an army to Europe, according
to Japanese foreign office state
ment.
Another Canadian division has left
England for the front. This is

in honor Of the daughter Of the Duke
OF Connaught, Governor General of

General Report.

London, Dec. 26.-Although stat
ing that further progress has been
made, to-day's communication from
the French war Office lays chief en-
phasis on the repeated attacks Of the
Germans, who apparently have un-
dertaken a series Of vigorous on
slaughts in response to the allies
offensive movement. Some of the
German attacks extended over con-
siderable sections Of ground, involv-
ing large bodies Of troops, but the
assertion is made that all were
checked. Perceptible progress in
Alsace is claimed by the French
Reviewing Eastern conditions, the
French war Office asserts that The
Germans have been thrust back along
the line before Warsaw, and that in
the fighting in the region Of Cracow
the Russians have won the advant-
age.
The German statement contains
the striking announcement that the
Germans attacks on the Bzura river
have ceased. 1t claims successes on
the right bank of the Pilica, and de-
scribes the situation elsewhere as
unchanged. Coming to the Wastern

Spight and George Gibson was ad-
ministered on the South Carolina
side of the river, although the deaths
Of the two negroes occurred on the
Georgia side. The warrants are for
the murder of George Gibson. They
were issued several days ago. when
the coroner's jury inquired into Glib
sons death. 1t is presumed that
similar warrants will be issued be-
cause of the death Of Spight.
Tom Spight's reputation in the
eastern part Of the county is we'll
known, and those who are familiar
with his record were not surprised on
hearing OF his attempt to set fire to
Mr.. Campbell's barn. 1t is said that
the Gibson negroes, the one who was
whipped, and the others who were
killed, bore regulations similar to
that borne by Spight. AS a matter
of fact the negroes in the Fair Play
section did not bear the best reputa-
tions; they frequently clash with the
white people, and there Is trouble
brewing among them all the time.
