Nav Bring Suit to Test Wisconsin
Eugenics Law.

Milwaukee, Wis, January T.
Steps were taken to-day to bring A
test suit to determine the constitu-
tionality of the eugenics law requlr-
ing male persons to present a salts
factory doctors certificate before
marriage.
The law went into effect yesterday
and Alfred A. Peterson and Hattie j.
Schmidt, each 20 years old, to-day
were the first to seek marriage
license. They were accompanied by
an attorney and when the county
clerk refused them a permit the in
tended bridegroom became active.
Peterson with his attorney began a
search for a doctor who would ex-
anime him for IS, the price prescrib-
ed in the law. Milwaukee physicians
have agreed that they cannot give
the required tests for that amount.
If the doctors refuse to make the
tests Peterson says he will begin
O. suit to test the constitutionality OF
the measure.

GRANT CASE TO HIGHEST COURT.
L. S. Supreme Court to Decide QueS-
ton of EXtraditiOn.

Lexington. January 4.-Solicitor
George Bell Zimmerman is in receipt
Of a letter from Assistant District At
torney George Welsh, of Philadel-
phia, to the effect that the attorneys
for Joe Grant, the Edgefield county
negro who is fighting eXtradition to
this State on charge of murder,
have appealed from the decision Of
the lower courts and have carried the
case to the United States Supreme
Court at Washington, the said ap-
peal to act as supersedeas. This
means that the case will be argued
at Washington at such time as NAV
be fixed by the court.
The case has already been argued
five times before the officials and in
the State Courts of Pennsylvania, So
licitor Zimmerman having won his
fight in every case. He will now go
to Washington to argue the case be-
fore the highest tribunal in the land.
Attorney General Peoples has written
Mr. Zimmerman, expressing his graft
fication over the results so far, and
urging the solicitor to fight the case
to the bitter end.
The Grant case is one of the most
interesting in the history of the
State. More than seven years ago
Grant, it is alleged, killed ]. T. burst,
a white man, in the town of Johns
ton After his arrest, upon the prom
ise that he wanted to change cloth
ing before going to the county jail,
he eluded the officials and made his
escape. He was traced through many
States, being finally captured up in
Philadelphia last spring by mulatto
detective, who had learned that there
was an outstanding reward of large
proportions in this State for his ar
rest.
Grant at once refused to come back
to South Carolina, setting up the plea
that he could not get fair and i'm
partial trial, his lawyers even going
so far as to quote alleged public ut
terances of Governor Blease, in an eff.
fort to gain their point. Solicitor TIM
norman is confident that the higher
court will decide against the negro in
favor of the State of South Carolina,
and that the appeal only serves to de-
lay the ends of justice.

TWO HURT IN WRECK.
"Sh>rt'' Train Splits Switch at Farn-
lille; Engine Turns Over.


lille; Engine Turns Over.
Hampton, January 4.-Train No.
46, generally called the Short" be-
tween Augusta and Port Royal, on
the G.. and w. G.. Railway, split a
switch at Varnville this morning at
SIP o'clock and was wrecked, the en-
CINE and tender turning on their sides
and the combination mail and bag
gage car leaving the track. The train,
consisting of the engine and three
coaches, was running on time and
was slowing down for the station
stop, the accident occurring within
two hundred yards of the depot. Con-
ductor E. l.. Foster was in charge
of the train and Engineer w. p.
Rheney was at the throttle.
John Foster, colored fireman, jump
ed and received slight bruises about
the face. Mail Agent Summers, col
ored, had an arm fractured and his
back sprained. No others of the
crew were hurt.
The train was not running mere
than II or Is miles an hour when
the tender jumped the track at the
switch just west of the station. Very
soon after the wreck occurred many
people from Hampton, Varnville and
surrounding communities were on the
scene. Traffic has been interrupted
all day, but Roadmaster Flannigen
is doing all he can to have trains to
get by the wreck some time tonight.

AIKEN WILL HAVE HIGHWAY.
Accept Offer of Government to join
Work to Extent of $4,000.

Aiken, January yesterday the
county commissioners made a big
step forward in the building of good
roads in this county. when they de-
cided to accept the governments offey
of $4,000 for the building of a good
road in the county.
The day will be memorable one
in the history of the county and, by
chance, it was the first day of the
new year, and it is hoped that it is
just an omen of the beginning OF a
new era for this county.
This offer by the government Was
to the effect that if Aiken county
would furnish $4,000 the govern
ment would give it $4,000, and wa:
secured through the efforts of Con-
gresham Byrnes. A meeting of the
county commissioners was held last
Friday and after considering the
proposition it was decided that the
money could not be accepted II
seems that the reason the offer Was
turned down was because they
thought that by eXpending s20,0UO
ON one good road other portions OF
the county might not fare so well
because these sections would not be
affected directly by the road.
At the meeting yesterday morning
a delegation of citizens of the county
composed of bankers, lawyers, farm
erS and merchants, waited on tile
commissioners and urged upon them
the acceptance of the proposiCon
Several speeches were made anG at
times the meeting waXed warm.
After due consideration of the
matter it, was decided to accept the
money and the road to be built will
be one running from the, Edgefeld
line to Aiken, and then continuing
on to the Barnwell county line, thus
giving Aiken county 2S miles of che
best roadway in the State and at the
same time accommodating vast
number of citizens.
Ample money was promised to the
districts not directly affected by this
appropriation for the building and
keeping up of the roads.
