JOE (a.NT JltOUTIIT BACK TO THIS STATE Negro Who Resisted Extradition for Years In Penitentiary at Coluibia. Went to Highest Court. Columbia, January 1.-Joe 'Grant, the negro who is wanted for the kill ing of a white man at Johnston in 1906, and who has been resisting ex tradition from Pennsylvania, was brought to Columbia tonight under heavy guard and lodged in the State penitentiary. The negro arrived at 7:40 on a special passenger train, which was running in the place of 31, the Augusta Special, which was in a wreck yesterday morning. Grant was brought from Pennsylvania to Coltti bin by Sheriff Swearingen, of Edgefleld county. At the station he was met by two guards and taken to the peniten tiary. The fight to get the negro Grant hack to this state has been waged for several years. lie was accused of kill ing a Mr. Mims at .Johnston in Edge leld county, in 1906, and fled to Penn sylvania. A reward was offered for his capture and he was recognized by a detective while working in a barber shop in Philadelphia. After his ar rest he interposed every legal obstacle possible and fought extradition to South Carolina. The governor of Pennsylvania, Toner, honored the requisition papers from the governor of South Carolina, but an appeal was taken to the courts, the case finally reaching the United States Supreme Court. That tribunal, as all others, upheld the requisition, and then the new governor of Pennsyl vania suddenly announced that he would not honor the requisition. The negro Grant, in his appeal to the Unit ed States Supreme Court, made sensa tional charges to the effect that he could not get a fair trial in South Carolina, o.-ing to race prejudice. Aitorney General Peeples and Solici tor Timmerman made several trips to Pennsiylvania to get the negro, anad had used every effort to this enl. Gov ernor Manning took the matter up act ively and in. a letter to Governor i3ru'ubaugli set forth that Grant could get a fair trial in this state and lie called on the Pennsylvania governor in the name of justice to surrender the negro to the South Carolina authori ties. Nothing was known of the matter again until Grant was brought here tonight. lie was in the wreck of the Augusta Special in Virginia Friday night and his name as well as that of Sheriff Swearingen, of Edgeield, were sent out on the press reports as among the number injured. Their in juries are said to have been only slight, however. Grant was very talk ative when being brought from the union station to the penitentiary and mentioned his trip and the wreck. Ile was well dressed, wore a neat look ing brown suit, overcoat and hat with black shoes, which were freshly polished. le wore gold spectacles and appeared to be in good health. ile complained of being tired from his long trip). Trhe governor's office refused to make known anything regarding the Gr'ant matter or what developments had taken place which resulted in bringing him back to this state. The govornor of Penn:mAvania, icertainly had to honor the requisition for the sheriff of Edgefield to get the negro, but his reasons for dloing so are not known. Grant will be taken to IEdgefleld and tried on an indictment charging him wvith murder, the indictment hav ing been returned against him several years ago. It Is presumed that lhe will lbe kept i the Ilenitent iary until Court of General Sessions convenes at iEdgetleld.

Tuskegee, Ala., January 1.-An an nual record of all lynchings in the United States has been furnished by Monroe N. Work, head of the division of records and researches of the Tusr kegee Institute, who aided Dr. Wash ington to compile these records for the past several years. According to this record there have been during the year 69 lynchings, 55 negroes and 14 whites. This is six more negroes and eleven more whites than were put to death by mobs in 1911, when the record was forty-nine negroes and three whites. Included in the record are three women. In at least four instances it later developed that the persons put to death were innocent of the offence charged. tighteen, or more than one-fourth of the total lynchings, occurred in the State of Georgia. Only eleven, ten negroes and one white, of those put to death, or fifteen per cent of the total, were charged with rape. Other offences and num ber lynched for were: Murder 17, five whites and twelve negroes; killing ofil cers of the law, 9, three whites and six negroes; wounding oflicers of the law, 3; clubbing offlicer of the law, a fan ily of four, father, son and two daugh ter s; poisoning mules 3; stealing hogs 2, white; disregarding warnings of night raiders 2, white; insulting wo men, 3; entering women's rooms, 2; wounding a lman, 2; stealing meat, 1; burglary, 2; robbery, 11; looting, 1; stealing cotton, 1; charged with steal ing a cow, I ; furnishing ammunition to a man resisting arrest, 2; beating wife and child 1, white; charged with being accessory to burning barn, 1.

The pleasantest, most convenient and most scientitic method for the treatment of catarrh is Ilyomei. Sim ply put a few drops of Ilyomei in the inhaler that comes with every com plete package and then breathe its air for a few minutes, 'our times a day. It seems remarkable that so simple a way of treating catarrh will effect such quick relief, but the most import ant discoveries of scie'ce have always been the sipilest. 13 breathing HIyo mei in this, way eve y particle of air that enters the all' passages of the thr ioat and lHead at d goes into the lungs is charged ith a healing bal sam that kills the oes and bacilli of catarrh and sootles and allays all irri tation. The first day's use of ilyomel will show an improvement and in a short time there should be no further trou ble from catarrh. Its action is rapid and lasting. You take no rIsk In bulylng Hyomel.
