Jf; " Business Trip to Prosperity. : Oil Thursday it was the Editor's pleasure to take a business trip to the Deautiful and growing town of Prosperity. It was our first visit to this little town and to say that we were -delighted with the people of the place is putting it mildly^ Prosperity is backed by one of the best farming sections in South Caro' lina, and the merchants of the place ; do a' large business throughout the -v ; year, ^dust at this season, however, % when all the fanners are busy, and the reads bad, * business is on the ; "quiet" toaO towns. But Prosperity \ is ? great distributing centre of fertilg izers, and hundreds of wagons were seen loaded with guano of the manydifferent brands, during our short stay " there.* . .< The town-can boast of some hand-: 1 some store buildings and residences, all of which lends attractiveness to the general surroundings. . The stores carry large and well selected stocks' and yon can find any class of merV %, chandise you may wish right in this little town. Two banks?Thh People's National Bank and the Bank , of Pros\ perity?are both in a prosperous conV "* dition, .the financial stringency now b&ng a thigg.of the.past. The school , \ jis one of the beat in the country, and ' is under the supervision of competent teachers. 1 The people are God-fearing, as is I evidence^ by the number of churches \ m the place, \Wrich speaks wen for ' X the'people of the town and surround ing community. While our stay was short it was none 1 the less enjoyed, and we trust that fortune will cause us to again visit the town at no distant future. K 1 , 1 ? r% " Solicitor George! Bell Timmerman made an, earnest appeal to the citi' zens, of New Brookland on Friday night to let the law take its course in r . the qase of the two negioes who so . brutally and savagely murdered the ' aged Mrs. Ellisor at her home on Wednesday. The Solicitor promised to use his best efforts to get an early trifil. Gov. Ahsel should grant Mr. ^ Timinerman's request in this case and order the special term without delay. At the same time, we don't believe L there hr any danger of a lynching; i we have more faith in the good citizehship of our county. The negroes * V ' will undoubtedly get a speedy trial, . > and the culprits legally executed. To i attempt to take the law into their own hands aowr would be disgraceful and unbecoming to a civilized and: law-abiding community. We appeal to Gov. Ansel for an early trial and - *_. i we appeal to tne gooa peppie or our /county not to interfere, l>ut let the law take its course. We feel safe in saying that once the men are placed in the care of Lexington's brave and 1 manly sheriff, the majesty of the law ? will be upheld at any and all hazards. 1 \ The legislature made a grave, mis, ' take when they refused to increase the salary of the attorney general of South Carolina. The legislature should raise the salary of tl e attorney general to five thousand doi> lars, which, to our mind,; would be r, a small sum when compared with the Work of the office. Such a salary ' would cause m,en well learned in the law and capable of meeting the most formidable lawyers in legal combat in any court in this broad land, to offer for the position. Sheriff Corley will undoubtedly ^ have the opportunity of putting to death two of the most attrociou9 and j dastardly murderers ever condemned to' die in this or any other State. . ' That he wilj do so in a decent and orderly manner is not doubted, for he never does things by halves. Just as we predicted. The, dispenN sary commission has gotten into j deeper water. The action of Judge Pritchard in taking charge of the ( entire matter was expected. In the end the people of South Carolina will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. Time Esteudei in Harder Case. Judge John S. Wilson has signed, : an order in the case of Samuel W. j Stockman, convicted of manslaughter 1 and sentenced to serve seven years in the State penitentiary, extending the time for his attorneys to perfect the i appeal to the supreme court until April 10. It will be recalled that Stockman I " was tried at the August term of court in 1907, for killing his son-in-law, H. ( h J. Hartley. I Mr. Lewis Corrects Report. The report having been circulated I that Mr. J. A. Lewis, of Gilbert, had j ' been soliciting money for Mr. C. E. ( Ballington, the father of the twins i and triplets, of which mention has been made in these columns, Mr. Lewis requests us to publish the following receipt and statement from Mr. Ballington. Mr. Lewis states that he has been over in Richland county and was nor a^rare of the false report until he returned to Gilbert on Saturday. The statement follows: "Received from J. A. Lewis ?8.25, the amount in full collected by him in Columbia, S. C. This money was collected through kindness of Mr. Lewis. C. E. Ballington, Gilbert, S. C., March 3, 190S."
