Condition of Mrs. Harold Causes APP

There was an unfaYorable change
Sunday in the condition of Mrs. U. B,
Harold and, while perhaps slightly
better yesterday, it is feared that her ILL
ness is of a serious nature. Her sister,
Mrs. W. L. Pfohl, of Columbus, and
daughter, Mrs. S. s. Ships, of Macon,
arrived last night to attend at her bed
side. Many friends will hope that this
serious stage in Mrs. Harrold's illness
will quickly pass, and that she may
soon grow stronger

VOLCANO FOR SALE.

it for $5,000,000. The value of
this volcano lies in the immense

In recognition of certain SER

az sulphur mine, Page'sMagazine
says: Two parties are declared
to be bidding for it, one back ed
by John ID. Rockefeller and the
other by John 2. and Samuel
Green, of Plttsburg. There are
two schemes by which it is
proposed to work the sulphur
mine. One ls to tunnel into
the volcano at about 600 yards
below the crater, and to remove
the sulphur by a cable con-
veyor carrying baskets 100 feet
apart. These will dip into the
redhot molten sulphur and bring
1t out, the buckets travelling 200
feet per minute. The estimated
cost of this equipment Is about
$500,O00. The other scheme
proposes to send a cogwheelled
railway over the lip of the crater
down into the sulphur lake,
but 1t is questionable if sufficient
foundation is available to sustain
the heavy support that would be
necessary. For many genera
tons this sulphur has been mined
In a crude fashion, and it is be.
lleved to be lnexhaustible. Its
market price at present is $40
per ton. Volcano sulphur from
Sicily has in the past furnished
the principal supply.

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT r1EDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use OF Paiue's Celery Compound,
Am Now In the Best Of Health"

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof
Edward f. Phelps, M. D., Ii. D., after years
OF long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
thousands OF the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DIR. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One OF the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city OF the Dominion Of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, OF
OConnor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
OF disease and become well, strong, and happy.
II proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrvaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as we'll as with the masses.
MIR. Brown says:-
"l acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. l had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. / was also treated by several of

Special to The State.
Camden, Sept. 11.-Another
verdict of guilty of murder,
although it be accompanied with
a recommendationto mercy, can
now be placed to the
credit of Kershaw county. For
the past three days court of gen.
eral sessions has been occupied
In the trial of Aaron Williams, a
prominent farmer of this county
for killing his brother-in law,
VIM. s. Gardner, on March /,
1902. The case was tried last
June year ago, at which time
the Jury could not agree on a
verdict. In empaneling the jury
in this case last Wednesday, one
OF the jurors who had been sworn
In the case before taking his
place on the panel announced to
the court that he was related to
the prisoner. The solicitor asked
the court to stand the juror aside,
but the defendants counsel con-
tended that the jnror having
been accepted by the prisoner
and sworn, 1t was too late now
Tor the State to object to the ju-
ror's serving. The juror was al
lowed to remain on the panel.
1t having developed that a kins-
man OF the prisoner was one of
the jurors selected to try his case
the prediction became general
that his relationship would affect
the verdict and that a mistrial
would be the result. The Juror
proved to be a man of character,
who could rise above the tides of
blood, and he agreed with II
other jurors that his relative,
Aaron Williams, was guilty of
murder, and should be confined
for the remainder of his life in
the State penitentiary. The
prisoner put up the usual plea
of all murderers, that of self
defense, and although his counsel, =,
Messrs. Eugene Blakeney and
w. ID. Trantham, made ingenious
and able arguments in support
of this defense, the jury would
not accept it.
The State was represented by
Solicitor Thurmond and NJ. l..
Smith, Esq. At IL o'clock to-
night the jury rendered their
verdict as above recorded.
Aaron Williams makes the
third young white man who has
been sentenced for murder from
this county within the past SIX
months.

 JUST $2,OOO,OOO.
Principal StOrehouSe at Rock
 Island is Destroyed.
WAS MASSIVE STRUCTURE
Bremen Fought Hard Until It Became Dangerous on Account of a Large Amount of Ammunition Stored.
 Was No Loss of Life.

Davenport, Ia, February 1.-The prin- cipal issue storehouse of the United States arsenal at Rock Island, H., was destroyed tonight by fire. The contents were valued at $1,5OOOOO and included calvary and infantry equipments and l. 00O,000 rounds of Krag-Jorgensen smoke less ammunition. The building was mas sive structure, three stories in height, erected 20 years ago at a cost of $4OO'OOO. The flames in the great government in stitution endangered property worth many times the amount lost. The fire was under control at midnight, when Major Blunt, the commandant estimated the loss at $2,o00,OOO. There were no cas- ualities so far as known.
 The Rock Island arsenal is the largest in the United States comprising ten im- mense buildings and covering thirty acres of ground. The site of the arsenal, the island of Rock Island, rising from four teen to twenty-three feet aoove high wa ter mark, lies in the middle of the Ms sissippl river, with Davenport, Ia, just across to the northwest and with the cities of Rock Island, H., and Moline, H., on the southeastern bank The isl- and stretches along the course of the river a distance of two and three-fourths miles, with a width of one-fourth to three- fourths of mile, and Is regarded as pos sessing extraordinary natural advantages from military standpoint.
 The situation of the arsenal building made the fire difficult to fight. When the flames got beyond the control of the ar senal men, help was asked of Des Moines and Davenport, la, and Rock Island and Moline, III. Help arrived promptly and the firemen fought hard until conditions became dangerous to life on account of the large amount of ammunition In the burning building. Then the storehouse was left to its fate. and attention was devoted to saving the rest of the plant. By midnight nothing was left of the immense building and it's stores. The other buildings escaped. An unusually large amount of ammunition was on hand as 1500 men have been at work on rush orders received from the war department.

D. A. ToMPKINs DISCUSSES RE- SUITS OF SLAVERY ON INDUS TRY IN THE SOUTH AT A BAN QUIET IN NEW YORK.

New York, February 11.-Goyernors of foremost commercial states, foreign min- isters, consuls and men prominent in the social and business world were the guests tonight of the Silk Association of America at Delmonico's on the occasion of the society.s thirtyNfrst annual din- Ter.
 At the guests table with President Jacques Huber were Leslie M Shaw, sec- ietary of the treasury; General Isaac Khan. minister from Persia; Governor Abram Chamberlain of Connecticut, D. A. Tompins of Charlotte N. C.; Giovanni Branchi, Italian consul general, and Tsn Chang Kwang, Chinese consul at New York
 D. A. Tompkins in responding to the toast, Industrial development of our sister Southern States" said that in the early days of the republic, the industrial development of the south was about equal to that of other parts of the Uni- ted States, but that it waned as slavery gained in strength, because the skilled white laborer was gradually left without employment.
 When slavery was abolished" he said, this influence, so adverse to the education of the working people and to the industrial development was gone, but another influence. even more adverse to progress appeared. The slaves were en- franchised Without entering upon any discussion of the error of this action, the result was that for ten or fifteen years after the enfranchisement of the negro, there was practically nothing that could
