Esq, and Solicitor Wilson both
addressed the jury. Mr. Lee re-
viewed the evidence against the
prisoners and made an able AID
forcibie presentation Of the
facts aS brought out in tx teS-
timony.
Solicitor Wilson made 4 Wig
orous and telling speech for the
conviction of the defendants.
His argument lasted for more
than an hour and at times he
seemed almost overwhelmed
with emotion as he recalled
narrowing details of the horri-
bic crime.
At the close of Mr. Wilson S
argument, il being late in the
afternoon, the court adjourned
until Friday morning.
When court convened at 9
a m Friday, Judge Hydrick
delivered his charge and the
Jury retired to their room. After
celebrating for one hour and
ten minutes they brought ip d
verdict of guilty against all
three defendants.
When placed in Che oock and
the usual question, whether they
had anything to say as to why
sentence should not be passed,
was asked, Robert Scott, who
seemed to be much affected, was
the first to respond. He said:
81 don't suppose anything | say
will do any good. l asked to
be tried by God and my country,
and my country has said that |
am guilty, but God knows | am
not guilty. If am punished l
will die for something of which
l am innocent. My country has
found me gully, but God knows
l am not" Jenkins Burrows
spoke next and denied his guilt
and Arthur Williams also de-
clared his innocence, except as
to being present at the scene OF
the murder.
After hearing the defendants
statements Judge Hydrick sen.
fenced each of them to be hanged
on Friday, January II, 1906.

The ELECTION MIDDLE.
Board Of commissioners Met Thurs
day and Declared Result.

AS has previously been stat
ed when the board of State cleo
ton commissioners met on
Tuesday after the recent cleo
ton to canvass The returns, in
stead of tabulating the vote and
declaring the result, they post
poned the whole matter for two
weeks, appointing Tuesday,
December II, as the day to
hear both sides of the question
argued.
Meantime Messrs W l. Bars
and r J Kirk were retained to
represent the nti-dispensary
side and in response to a notice
from them the board of CON-
missioners held a meeting last
Thursday, December Z, and can
vasseG the vote, declaring the
result 5S8 against, to 447 for
the dispensary. These figures
give a majority of al votes
against the dispensary in the
county. instead of So, as shown
by the unofficial returns We
have not been able to secure a
tabulated statement of the Of
ticial returns.
After declaring the result,
Mr. j K Cox, a member of the
board of canvassers, was chos-
en- as messenger and by him a
statement of the returns trans
mitted to Columbia to be passed
upon by the State board of can
vassers. This board, we under
stand, will meet tomorrow to
declare the official resultin Will
liamsburg and Anderson coun-
ties. :
1t appears that the reason
the board of canvassers held
their second meeting on Thurs
day instead of the day appoint
ed is because under the election
law the statement of the result
of an election must be made
within ten days from their first
meeting as board of canvass
erS.
The final outcome of the cleo
ton is awaited with interest.

THE STOMACH IN WINTER
Hearty Food Puts Extra Strain On
This Important Organ

Winter is littl more than half
over and the results of its hearty food
are shown in the variable appetite,
nausea, gnawing at the pitof the stom
ach, heartburn, sallow skin, furred
tongue, headache, backache, and sleep
lessness. The stomach has been over
worked, the nervous system is I'M
strung, the blood is in bad condition,
the digestive organs are tired out.
1t is at this season of the year that
Mona, the only remedy known that
gives strength to the stomach and d.
gestiye organs, is of especial value.
Mona Is not hit-or.miss cure but
is an unusual combination of remedies
that makes it infallible In restoring
health to the stomach and digestive
system. 1t overcomes any acid con-
dition that may be present in the stom-
ach and intestines, soothes and heals
the irritated mucous membrane, has @
stimulating effect on the solar-plexus
and combines peculiar properties that
strengthen the nerves of the stomach
and puts the whole digestive system in
so healthy, clean and sweet state
that fermentation of the food cannot
exist, any disease germs in the stom-
ach will be destroyed, and the diges-
tive system will be so strengthened
that it will extract from the food all
the elements that make solid bone, firm
muscle and pure blood. 1t is guar
anteed cure for all diseases of the
stomach excepting cancer.
The guarantee on Mona is given by
one of our best known druggists, VIM.
L. Gokay, who agrees to refund the
price of so cents, should Mona not
give perfect satisfaction. Ask him to
show you the guarantee he gives with
every package.

Extension of the j. & S.-W. Means a
Great Deal Towards Increasing Out
put-Prospectors Declare That Inn
mense Beds Have Been Discovered.
''The phosphate industry, which is
already one OF the greatest in this
county, is going to be considerably ex-
tended-perhaps doubled-by the open
ing of the new country by the extern
sion OF the Southwestern Railroad, +"
remarked q gentleman who is thor
oughly posted on phosphate, and in a
position to know what he is talking
about, Friday.
This gentleman stated that the
country traversed by this extension
had been prospected, and was rich in
phosphate, large deposits having been
discovered throughout the section as
far west as the Suwannee River. The
only reason that the property has not
been mined has been on account of
the inadequate facilities for moving
the product. There is no doubt now
but that the land, which is owned prin-
cipally by large corporations, will be
opened and worked, which viii mean
possibly the doubling Of the output
within the next two years.
Aside from the phosphate industry
which it is anticipated this extension
will open up, there are hundreds of
thousands of acres of the finest pine
timber in the South, which means that
naval stores plants and saw mills will
be established. There are also innu-
merable acres or the finest hard wood,
which will afford another industry,
since hard wood is now in great de-
mand In all, the prospects for the
West End were never brighter, and
the good people OF that section have a
right for rejoicing.
The work OF grading on the extern
sion, which will run from Newberry to
Deadman's Bay, a distance Of about
eighty miles, is progressing rapidly,
several gangs" being employed in
the work. II is estimated that the
road will be completed to the Gulf ter
minus within twelve months.

FATAL SHOOTING
AT ROCHELLE
Jim Henry Sent Two Balls Which
Caused Death of His Friend.
HENaY Mo- Us EsoApE

It is Said by Witnesses That He Shot
Paul Robinson in self-Defense While
Robinson Was Advancing Upon Him
With An Uplifted Axe.
There was a row at Rochelle
Wednesday which cost Paul Robinson
his life.
Jim Henry and Paul Robinson, both
colored. we're employed on the turpen-
tine farm OF Holder & Pope. They be-
came involved in a quarrel over triy-
ial matter, when Robinson, it is said,
advanced upon Henry with a turpen-
tine axe. For few seconds is looked
rather hard for Henry, but he kept in
retreat, backing, at the same time
warning Robinson to keep away or he
would kill him. Robinson, mad with
fury, did not heed the warning, when
Henry pulled a pistol from his pocket
aud fired twice, both shots taking ef-
feet. One OF the balls entered the
stomach, while the other took effe,t
Just under the left arm, passing ont
through the breast
Immediately after the shooting Hen
~ made his escape, although wit
nesses testify that the act was in self
defense and it WAS not necessary for
him TO leave, rs he conld have been
vindcated
The wounded man was taken to his
home where he fingered until Friday
morning, when death relieved him Of
his suffering.
Both men had been in the employ OF
Holder & Pope for some time. They
were faithful employees and good
workmen, and had been firm friends.
The alteration was a surprise to those
who knew them best, as they had al
ways been on the most intimate friend
ly terms,

II vas stated some time ago that the

cided upon the BlcCarroll stone, had
agreed not to use this material, but to
make the building OF pressed brick. 1t
seems that this was an error, as the
committee has never thought Of using
anything else, and McCarroll stone
