Wis zr~\ Kin< ??1 EV TO BE TRIED AFTER TEN YEARS. Joe Grant to Face Jury in Edgefioia on Charae oi Murder. Joe Grant, a negro, who lost his fight against extradition from the State of Pennsylvania, will probably 1 be placed on trial for his life in the Edgefield county court at the next j term. Grant is charged with killing j i J T Durst, a merchant, at Johnston J early in 1906. The negro is held in ' the State penitentiary and it is said will not be taken to Edgefield until ! the time of his trial. J The fight for the extradition of! i i Grant was waged through a period | \ of two years by Thomas H Peeples, j Attorney General, and George Bell ; Timmerman, Solicitor of the Elev- ! enth judicial circuit. The negro 1 carried his case to the United States supreme court and lost. I Mr Durst was shot by Grant, it is alleged, while he was assisting an officer to arrest the negro. Grant fled immediately and, it is said, went to Savannah and from there to Philadelphia, where he opened a barber shop. Grant had operated a barber shop at Johnston. "The finding of Grant was purely a piece of good luck," an official said yesterday. "He was operating a barber shop and club room for negroes in Philadelphia. One night he took too much whiskey and be- ' gan to brag about having killed a white man down near Augusta. A * * ? ? a. I negro detective neara tne staie-1 ments. He wrote to the chief of | police of Augusta. The chief there happened to remember'that a negro by the name of Grant, a barber,who formerly resided in Augusta, had several years before killed a merchant at Johnston." Following these disclosures, Grant j was arrested and he then began his fight against being brought back to this State. The general plea was . that he would be lynched if brought back. The courts ignored this plea.! m j i Snake Kills Eight Hogs. Georgetown, Ky, January 1:? |? James W Palmer shipped a load of , : fat hogs from here to the Cincinnati market, and when the car was un-;, loaded it was found that eight head of the hogs were dead. Upon ex-: amination of the car a large copp . head snake was found lying dead the fioor. When Mr Palmer loaded the c. here it contained a lot of old bed* *? n 1 .4 ;w ding, ana lur raimer put m nc^:. bedding without removing what was! already in the ear, and the snake j was evidently coiled up in the old'j bedding when the car was loaded. The hogs must have stirred the reptile from its hiding place and I then it was a battle royal for pos- < session, resulting in the snake killing eight head of the porkers before being conquered. Pellagra Mortality Heavy inS.C. Twelve and seven-tenths per cent 1 of the total number of deaths from i pellagra in South Carolina during the first ten months of this year have j occurred in Charleston county, according to the report filed by the : bureau of vital statistics with the j executive committee of the State , board of health. ! i In the State there were 1,306 deaths from pellagra, giving an an- 1 nual death rate of 81.2, or nearly ( equaling the rate for tuberculosis,; and more than three times the mor-' i tality for typhoid fever.

UNDER PROHIBITION. DISPENSARY PASSED AWAY ON i FRIDAY AFTERNOON LAST? I STATE IS NOW "DRY." Columbia, December 31:?"Good- j i ' bye, hooze, we're through," sanyr i ] South Carolinians tonight as the sun \i went down and the dispensaries | closed up forever. The remnant of i' the G M I departed this life official- , ly at 5:25 o'clock this afternoon and South Carolina took her rank <n the J column of the prohibition States.-j1 There were no tears and no obse-1 \ rues at the end. The knowledge j1 was irate-wide that the dispensaries 1 ,i or.ld be no more after tonight and r' ending had been discounted. With some stock left on hand in .'(. bland and Charleston and possi-j ..l\ a few other counties, there can j J be nothing done with it unless the j j * ? i ' J:. . ! General ASsemDiy directs some uis- , position to be made. The stock on hand will be locked j in central warehouses and left until I; further directions are given by the j' law-making powers. It is estimated by L L Bultman, ' State Dispensary Auditor, that at : least $125,000 will be on hand when J the dispensaries close this afternoon. ! This surplus has placed the State j authorities in a quandary, as the bill providing for the referendum election did not provide for the disposal of any stock that might be left 1 over, and the position of every official and subordinate of the system automatically ceases tonight. J This raises a doubt as to the owner- . ship of the remaining stock and what disposition can be made of it, as it 1 enrollxr Ko snlri in Snnth rinr- * LdUilUt W wv.v. ..... w. | j olina. The matter will either have to be adjusted by the Legislature or J the courts, it is said. Williamsburg I and Bamberg counties are the only j1 ones that have completely disposed I of their stocks. It is estimated that | the Columbia (ttspensaries will have a 830,000 surplus stock and Charleston $50,000 worth of whisky on hand.
