Ok I'll break it down column by column.

Day = Day of the Week
Hits = It's basically every little graphic and file that has been loaded. If you have 30 graphics on your main page that basically counted couted as 30 hits including your .html file.
Files = How many files loaded
Pages = How many Pages actually loaded
Visits = This is how many visits you have had to your site
Sites = ???
KBytes = You bandwidth used for that day.

Basically you have had 301 visiters to your site as of when that graph was generated. THe percentages next to those numbers are in comparison to the rest of the month. So for the 28th, you have 301 visitors and that is 14.46% of the TOTAL visiters for that month. I hope this is of some help.

Webalizer is pretty easy to use, compared to Analog.
But analog i believe is more detailed.

Your VISITS, is the number of unique visitors with different ip's that viewed your site.

In webalizer, it also tells you where they were referred from, and which country, so forth.
