Georgia Girl First in Eugenics.


Atlanta, Ca, April ia Georgia
girl is the first person to enroll in the
eugenics registry, which has just
been instituted by the National Con-
ference on Race Betterment, accord
ing to reports received here. Her
name is Miss Sue Myrick, and she
halls irony the classic town of Mil
ledgeville. Miss Myrick is a student
in a physical culture school in Battle
Creek, Mich, and is firm believer
in the theory of practical eugenics.
The eugenics registry will include
a list of human Observation-Disclosures
and women who measure up to very
high standard of mental and physical
perfection. Miss Myrick is said to- be
beautiful girl and a great athlete.
The National Conference on Race
Betterment has proposed, by popular
izing the registry, to encourage a
broad interest in matters of health
and thus upbuild an aristocracy OF

YOUTH FATALLY INJURED.
Jumped From Automobile and Frac.
tured Skull.

Laurens, April 12.-Ralph Knox,
the 1o-year-old son of Stiles H. Knox,
furniture dealer of this city, was
fatally injured in an automobile ac-
cident this. afternoon, shortly after
2 o'clock, death ensuing two hours
later.
The lad was going from school to
his home on South Harper street,
with party of other school children
in a car. Ralph and another boy
were riding on the running board.
AS the car reached the Knox home
the driver slowed up, but before the
machine was brought to standstill
the Knox youth jumped off and fell
backwards on the pavement, his skull
being fractured by the impact and he
received other bruises on his body.
The body will be taken to Seneca to-
morrow for burial, Seneca being the
former home of the family.

SHERIFF'S DOG KILLED.
But He Continues Hunt for Escaped
Richland COnvicts.

Lexington, April 12.-Sheriff Mil
Ter was out all night and part of the
morning helping the Richland county
authorities in the chase Of the three
convicts who escaped in Columbia
yesterday afternoon by oyerpowering
the guard. Sheriff Miller regrets
very much that his splendid young
blood hound was killed, but this did
not deter the Lexington officer in his
course after the men. The dog was
one of the best young man trailers in
the country, and was leading the
pack at the time he was shot down.
Sheriff Miller is of the opinion that
had not the dog been killed or if the
Columbia parties would have permit
ted their dogs to continue on the
trail of the men after the leading
dog was shot, the men would have
been captured. Sheriff Miller stated
today that he intended setting him
another dog as soon as possible.

Greenville, April 12.-The Parker
Cotton Mills company will profit to
the extent of 100000 through the
death of Lewis w. Parker, organizer

til November, 1914. Mr.. Parker car

insurance about four years ago. The
company has been paying the pre-
miums Mr.. Parker was given very
rigid physical examination and pass
ed it very successfully. There was at

cerous growth in his jaw, which de-
veloped only about two years later,
and which resulted in his death here
Tuesday morning.
In addition to the insurance for

Thirty-eight Horses Burned.

Early Friday morning the stables
of Slater Bros. were discovered en-
tirely covered with, fire, and the huge
wooden building burned rapidly.
Thirty-eight horses and mules were
burned as a result of the blaze, which
was so quick that they could not be
taken out in time to save them.
From two o'clock until five the fire
men remained on the scene, but at
last entirely extinguished the fire.
During the progress of the fire
some of the best work ever pulled
off by the fire department was ex-
ercised in order to save nearby build
ings which took fire as result of
the severe heat and sparks flying in
all directions. The bottling plant OF
S. H. Crum, the residences of Police
Sergeant Frankling, A. H. Marchant
and Julian A. Salley were all set
afire at different times during the
progress of the fire. No serious dam
age was done any of these, although
about one-third of the bottling
plants roof was destroyed.
The loss was heavy upon the firm
of Slater Bros, and it is not known
exactly what insurance they carried.

Three Killed When 1000 Kegs of
Powder Explode.

Bluefelds, W. Va, April r.
Three persons were killed, one per-
haps fatally injured and two others
less seriously hurt as the result of
the explosion of 1000 kegs of pow
der at the Nemours. plant of the Du,
pont Powder company, eight miles
from here early today. The plant
was almost destroyed, with loss Of
about 100000.
Howard Mathena, glazier, had
just entered the glazing shop and
was blown to pieces. Calvin Butts,
a watchman, was so seriously injured
that he may not recover. George and
Roy Crawford were asleep in their
home almost a mile from the mill,
and were crushed to death under a
great rock blown through the roof
by the force of the blast. Two other
persons in the village were injured
by falling debris. The sites of the
plant buildings are marked by great
holes. Officials are unable to assign
any cause.

Who Taught Miss Keller?

At present disloyalty founded up
on ignorance meets with more at
tention than it deserves. Why, after
all, should 1000 people assemble in
New York to hear Miss Helen Keller
say that, in the event of invasion,
the American workman has nothing
to lose but his chains?" He has his
manhood to lose, and it should mean
as much to him as to any millionaire
in the land What new and debili-
tating doctrine is this which holds
that personal honor is the exclusive
attribute of wealth, and that labor
or has no more business with it than
has a dog!-Agnes Repplier, in the
Atlantic.

SIXTH ESCAPE PLAN FAILS.
Discovery of German Spy's Plan to
Break Jail.

New York, April 1.-two keep
ers guarding Ignatius T. T.. Lincoln,
self-confessed German spy, in the
Raymond street Jail, Brooklyn, have
been dismissed for alleged completely
in plans made by Lincoln to make
another escape, it was announced to-
day by Commissioner Lewis, of the
department of corrections. Lincoln,
who is in Jail awaiting federal court
decision on the matter of an applica-
ton for his extradition to England
on a charge of forgery, escaped from
Jail some time ago and was recap
tured. He boasted that he would es-
cape again.
The two keepers dismissed are
Thos. w. Danbeck and Michael G.
Keating, who were given trial by
Commissioner Lewis on charges
based on a confession made by Lin
coin. The attempt was to be made
on April l.
Lincoln's plans provided that "a
well known gang leader was to be
in charge of the jail delivery. This
leader and another man were to come
to the prison at night in the guise
of federal officers with prisoner.
Six confederates were to be conceal
ed inside and as the keeper opened
the door these men were to cover
him with revolters, bind and gag
him.
Other keepers were them to be
called into the warden's Office sep
arately and bound and gagged. The
last keeper called was to have been
compelled to open the cells.
Commissioner Lewis said that Lin
coins latest plan was the sixth he
had made while in prison.

TRIO OF SUSPECTS TAKEN.
Had Maps Of FOrtifications on South
Atlantic Coast.

Savannah, Ca, April 1S.-Three
strange men, said to be Germans,
but whose names could not be learn
ed, were arrested today at Harde-
vile, S. c., at the instigation Of
Lieut.. A. P. Cronkhite, United States
engineer corps, who suspected them
of espionage, according to long dis
tance telephone messages received
here from Lieut. Cronkhite. A
search of the prisoners clothing, it
was said, revealed the fact that they
were in possession fmaps, giving
minute details of Notifications and
roads along this section of the coast,
and that they carried an elaborate
Photographic camera.
A charge of vagrancy, on which
the men were taken into custody,
was changed to a charge of being
suspicious characters when each Of
the three produced $4,000 to dis
prove vagrancy charges.
Lieut.. Cronckhite, in charge Of a
detachment from company B, of the
fort battalion, United States engineer
corps, has been engaged for several
weeks in making military maps and
gathering other data along the South
Atlantic coast that would be of value
in the event of war.
According to reports, the three
foreigners have been following the
detachment since it left Savannah,
working toward Charleston, some
time ago. The documents found on
them, it was said, would be of value
to foreign governments should they
become involved in war with the
United States.
Lieut.. Cronckhite reported the ar
rests to his superior officer here, Col.
VIM. c. Langfett, by telephone. Col.
Langfett was unable to say tonight
where the prisoners would be ar
raigned.

MCCORMICK COUNTY STANDS.
Supreme Court Upholds Validity of
Its Creation.

Columbia, April 13.-The election
providing for the establishment of
Mccormick county was declared by
an. en- banc session of the supreme
court to have been legally held. There
are now IS counties in South Caro-
lima, the new unit having been recog-
nized by an act of the last legisla-
ture.
The en- banc session Of the supreme
court was attended by a large num-
Der of advocates of the new county.
The new unit will be made up from
Edgefeld, Abbeville and Greenwood
counties.
The new county movement has
been carried after fight extending
over a period of 20 years.
Citizens of the new county are
making arrangements for a celebra-
ton at Mccormick today. Yesterday
they extended an invitation to Gov
ernor Manning to attend the celebra-
ton, The governor was forced to de-
cline because of several engagements
in Columbia.
The, election was held last year.
An appeal was taken to the State
board of canvassers and the election
was declared to have been legally
held. Then the case was carried on
to the supreme court. After hear
ing the arguments and giving the
matter much consideration, the five
justices of the supreme court failed
to agree and the circuit judges of
the State were called to their assist
ance.
In 1905 an election was held and
carried by majority of four to one
in favor of Mccormick county, but
the opponents won out in the courts
because the required area was lack
ing. At another election in 1914 the
new county agitators won by a vote
of six to one, but for the second
time it was set aside by the courts.
The last in 1915 won out by a big
majority.
Mccormick, the county seat of the
new county, is located on the Char
lesion, and Western Carolina railway,
4s miles above Augusta and 25 miles
from Abbeville, Greenwood and Edge
field.
