The plan he proposes would, no doubt, bring in a considerable revenue; but if such plan is advisable in case of spirit uous liquors, i by not also in dry goods, groceries, &c.? Tne plan doesn't look to us as feasible; however, we give to 'Wet and Dry" the opportunity of making public his ideas on the suniyect. Paripatetic "Druggists."

The hanging af S:un Fair Wednesday calls to mind another hanging that took )lace at Prosperity several years ago; that of a man named Metts. who was hanged there in February, 1863. Metts moved to Lexington County from Geor gia he married in Lexington. and it was afterwvards ascertained that be had a former wife living in Georgia. Du ring the war he deserted from the army. arn when Shermatn passed thrrough Lexington Metts piloredl his pillagers to miany houses in their foraging and ma rauding expeditions. Some Confederate soliers who were stationed at Ninety Six went down into Lexington under cmmand of an offlier and captured Metts. They brought him as far as Prop,m,anI there hanged him to a A BRUTAL OUTAGE AND MURDER! ri; de A CRIME WITHOUT A la, PARALLEL. Iti at to -if'It Vengeanie Mete i of Ki Out to the(- Guilty P'arties let br thl It is with profound sorrow that we tie Chronicle this week a crime that in pc fiendish brutality is without a. parallel in this State. A beautiful and noble of young life ruthlessly blotted out by bo fiends in human shape. and under cir- tut cumstances so horrible that the heart sa sickens at the revelation. Gladly would we spare our readers the details of such P crimes; but justice and a vindica- ab tion of the community that took the law . into their own hands demand that we Vi( up should give the facts. Mr. Wm. Werts lives about two wiles Ca from Prosperity in this County. Mon- F day afternoon, the 17th instant, his Fa daughter. Miss Bettie Werts, went from her father's to visit her brother, Mr. i Sain3'l Werts, about three quarters of a =ns mile distant. Mr. Werts. thinking his by daughter was spending the night at her brother's, felt no uneasiness about her till the next morning it was discovered fat Pr she was missing, and search being in stituted she was found dead about half to way between the two houses. Suspi- uw cion pointed to two negroes, Dave P Suearman and Sam Fair, who were Pr working for Mr. Wm. Werts. Fair made a partial confession to the effect that he and Spearman were working in a field by which the lady passed in going to her brother's; that Spearman told himn h i dhat he intended to waylay her on herdi return. and that he did carry out his . fiendish purpose. He denied having a anything to do with the crime, but an would give no reason for net nforming Mr. Werts of Spearman's designs, al- Pu though he had abundant opportunity b for doing so. In addition to this, some shreds from Miss Werts' zephyr shawl tv that she wore and some of her hair wa3 re Sb found on Sam Fair. The negroes were :arried to Prosperity and locked up in he the guard house. A post mortem ex mination by Dr. Langford revealed JLI that a most diabolical outrage had been :ommitted. The news spread rapidly, d ad the citizens of the surrounding ri~ :ountry began to gather in Prosperity uesday evening in large numbers. J The testimony before the Coroner's in- Sh quest put the guilt of the negroes be- R. ond the shadow of a doubt. The re- Cl suit was certain; there was a unanimous Ici resolve that the brutes should meetH swift vengeance. The first idea was to wait till 1 P. M. Wednesday and hang ba t he two negroes together ; but as all the orrible details of the crime becameM known the indignation and rage of the M1 rowd could not brook so long a delay. m' So about 1 A. M. Wednesday the guard le] house was broken open and the negroes P. taken out. Sam Fair was shot there, to] and left for dead, and Dave Spearman B( was hurried off to the scene of the crime M and tied to the tree behind which he W ad waylaid his victim. He was told P. that he had only a few minutes to live,M nd an opportunity was given him to hr make a statement. He then made a tull and detailed confession. His con'-t fession, in its details, is too horrible for m] print ; the eutlines of it was as follows: I 'e two negroes worked for Mr. Werts laist year; they had for nearly a year Fr past been centemplating committing this crime whenever the first opportuni- pe y offered; Monday afternoon when tei they saw the lady pass the fied going an to her brother's they laid their plans; so: he himself hid behind a large tree on WV the path and awaited her return; as she ra came along he seized her, tied a cloth tit around her neck to prevent any outcry, Ti tied her to a tree, went for Sam Fair, ga and they returned together and accom- Hi plished their brutish purpose, repeating his their visits time after time during the Fi night. He didn't knowv what time of 'A the night she died. After she was dead ar they carried her body a short distance TI in the~ direction of her brother's house. tir lie told where he had hidden the cloth st< with which he had gagged and chQked of her. Being released he wvent straight ce to tie place and found it. He was then M retied to the tree, and a volley of lead Bi from guns and pistols was poured into ce his body, killing him instantly. The er paity then rode away. fo In the mording it was ascertained in that Sam Fair was not dead, but had az escaped. Vigorous search was institu- os ted; and he was tracked in the direc- so tion whence he had come and found at i his mother's house not far from the a scene of his crime. When this reporter ar rode into Prosperity Wednesday morn- ti< ing at half past 11 the town seemed al- ar most deserted. Going on in the direc- di tion of Mr. Werts' he met a crowd of 52 25 or 300 men coming on toward Pros perity bringing the negro wvith th'em in a buggy. Desiring to see the business ri through he turned and rode back with y( the crowd. Reaching Prosperity theyC took the negro out of the' buggy, and .t two physicians examined his wounds. There were five of them-one in the G faG n ntebc o h ic,oei fae le, one in the iodte nck one in Et the rs-alder onerte sight surfae iS tewrinst-ad buefr sliht,ih sufc wons, wand but forae prvned is fce gon owr.I wsvr vdn wrist, would not have prevented his fe .a. - -+ n was very evident al and. A rope was brought, and it seem for a time that he would be hanged lht in the centre of town; but it was de cided to carry him outaide. The pro ssion, in the front ranks of which were munted colored men, of whom quite :1 -ge number was present and participa g,filed out of town ; turning to the left Mr. Birge's house they went a mile out a pine thicket on the right hand side the road, nearly opposite Mr. Andrew nard's. One of the party climbed a ie, and put the rope over a limb and the end down. In an in$tant the r ute was jerked up about live ftet in air, the loose end of the rope was d securely, and the crowd quie.ly dis rsed to their several homes. T'rial Justice Wheeler, acting as Cor er, held an inquest over the dead q cly of Miss Werts, and the jury re- r -ned the following verdict: "That the d Elizabeth Werts, of Newberry b unty and State aforesaid, upon the mntation of her father, Wm. Werts, 1 ut 5 o'clock, P. M., on;the 17th of h nuary, 1881, by choking and other b dent outrages and criminal assaults a on her person with the most diaboli- a purposes, the said Elizabeth Werts s , killed by Dave Spearman and Sam ir." t ['he same officer held an inquest.over body of Sam Fair, the jury return- t: a verdict that he came to his death hanging at the hands of a multitude a people to the jurors unknown. c Dave Spearman was buried by his d her-in-law. The colored people at " osperity would not a.low Sam Fair 0 be buried in their graveyard. He re ined where lie was hanged till ursday evening, when the Council of t osperity had him buried near the ce of his execution. t The negroes were about 21 years old. e earman was married; Fair was not. The sentiment of the whole commu y approves the action of these who I I all in their power to avenge the rrible crime. The guilty parties a bly deserved their fate, and a thous- a d times worse. For such crimes as ey were guilty of there is only one nishment-swift and certain death. Miss Werts belonged to one of the t families of the County; she was a >st excellent lady and enjoyed the pect and love of all who knew her. e was in the twenty-second year of l r age. ors, c The Jury Commission met Wednes y, 19th, and drew the following ju s: r G~ra'nd Jury for the year-J.
