The Lutheran Visitor Will continue to be published at Prosperity, and edited by Rev. Jaicob Hawkins, A. M. The arrangements of which we spoke last week, involving a change in the Visitor, have been can celledl. "WNet and Dry" Ti s week suggests a novel idea of securing a revenue from liquor licenses. The plan he ~popss would, no~ doubt, brn in a considerable revenue; but if such plan is advisable in case of spirit ucus liquors, v.hby not als.o in drv goods, groceries. &c.?

A Military Hanging. The hanging a.f Samu Fair Wednesi calls to mind another hanging that t< )lace at Presperity several years as that of a man named Metts. who hanged there in February, 1805.

Some Confeder soldiers wvho were stationed at Nini Six went down into Lexington un command of an offiter and captu Metts. They brought him as faa Prosperity, and there hanged him large nak tree that stood in the eer of the town and was known as "Royal Oak."

A beautiful and noble o young life ruthlessly blotted out by bo fiends in human shape, and under cir- tu e cumstances so horrible that the heart SU sickens at the revelation. Gladly would . ' we s'pare our readers the details of such P" crimes; but justice and a vindica- a tion of the community that took the law . p. ito their own hands demand that we ie should give the facts. ip je Mr. Wm. Werts lives about two wiles Ca io from Prosperity in this County. Mon 2e day afternoon, the 17th instant, his F ae daughter. Miss Bettie Werts, went from et her father's to visit her brother, Mr. t I- Sai''l Werts, about three quarters of a au mile distant. Mr. Werts. thinking his by ly daughter was spending the night at her of er brother's, felt no uneasiness about her c, till the next morning it was discovered id she was missing, and search being in ne stituted she was found dead about half to & way between the two houses. Suspi- 0 ill cion pointed to two negroes, Dave TI Siearman and Sam Fair, who were working for Mr. Wm. Werts. Fair made P a partial confession to the effect that he r. and Spearman were working in a field SI n by which the lady passed in going to . her brother's; that Spearman told him " Ld that he intended to waylay her on her di return. and that he did carry out his hi fiendish purpose. He denied having anything to do with the crime, but th woald give no reason for not informing Mr. Werts of Spearman's designs. al- 9 ar though he had abundant opportunity 22 be, for doing so. In addition to this, some nt shreds from Miss Werts' zephyr shawl m 1g that she wore and some of her hair was re found on Sam Fair. The negroes were n- carried to Prosperity and locked up in be ce the guard house. A post mortem ex amination by Dr. Langford revealed Ju ly that a most diabolical outrage had been at committed. The news spread rapidly, da and the citizens of the surrounding ri country began to gather in Prosperity Tuesday evening in large numbers. J e- The testimony before the Coroner's in- SR l- quest put the guilt of the negroes be- R gs yond the shadaw of a doubt. The re- C "s' suit was certain; there was a unanimous 10 1- resolve that the brutes should meet H 1st swift vengeance. The first idea was to D rt- wait till 1 P. M. Wednesdaiy and hang bi -1 the two negroes together; but as all the n horrible details of the crime became Id known the indignation and rage of the M -3. crowd could not brook so long a delay. m or So about 1 A. M. Wednesday the guard le l, house was broken open and the negroes e taken out. Sam Fair was shot there, to ill and left for dead, and Dave Spearman in was hurried off to the scene of the crime ~ he anid tied to the tree behind which he '' es bad waylaid his victim. He was told F ve that he had only a few minutes to live, sh and an opportunity was given him to hi LD wake a statement. He then made a full and detailed confession. His con- tb fession, in its details, is too horrible for W print; the eutlines of it was as follows: i~ of The two negroes worked for Mr. Werts ed I:ast year; they had for nearly a year Fr in. past been centemplating committing c!d this crime w.henever the first opportuni- pe rs ty offered; Monday afternoon when te h- they saw the lady pass the field going ar ng to her .brother's they laid their plans; si ed lie himself hid behind a large tree on 1# he the path and awaited her return; as she ra e camie along he seized her, tied a cloth tit he around her neck to prevent any outcry, Ti he tied her to a tree, wvent for Sam Fair, g: r- and they returned together and accom- H es plishied their brutish purpose, repeating h~ ns their visits tiwe after time during the Fi vi night. He didn't know what time of 'A as the night she died. After she was dead at d- they carried her body a short distance T] 'l in the direction of her brother's house. til ier lHe told where hie had hidden the cloth sts e- with which he had gagged and choked of A hien. Being released he wvent straight ce he to the place and found it. He was then M retied to the tree, and a volley of lead B from guns and pistols was poured into ci aw his body, killing him instantly. The er d. pai-ty then rode away. f ys In the morAling it was ascertained in of that Sam Fair was not dead, but had a, 25 escaped. Vigorous search was institu- os ted; and he was tracked in the direc- s< tion whence he had come and found at it his mother's house not far from the a lay scene of his crime. When this reporter ai >ok rode into Prosperity WVedresday morn- ti o; ing at half past 11 the town seemed al- a as most deserted. Going on in the direc- d uts ion of Mr. Werts' he met a crowd of 5 or- 250 or 300 men coming on toward Pros it perity bringing the negro with th'em in ad a buggy. Desiring to see the business r u- through he turned and rode back with y ny. the crowd. Reaching Prosperity they ( igh took the negro out of the' buggy, and s to two physicians examined his wounds. na- There were tive of tbem-one in the ate fauce, one in the back of the neck, one in o ty- the shoulder, one in the side and one in I der the wrist-all were slight, surface red wounds, and but for the one in the as wrist, would not have prevented his o a going to work. It was very evident itre! that he was to share the fate of his part the ner in crime. The crowd increased een rapidly in numbers and the cry "Hang ow him!" "Hang him!" grew louder. Trial as JuisLice A. H. Wheeler, acting as Coro-a ly ner, and the jury dlemanded the prison-c ... but no atention was paid to their de-I and. A rope was brought, and it seer for a time that he would be hang htiu the centreof town; but it was d cided to carry him out-ide. The pr ssion, in the front ranks of which wei ainted colored men, of whom quite -ge number was present and particip Ig,filed out of town; turning to the le Mr. Birge's house they went a mile oi a pine thicket on the right hand sid the road, nearly opposite Mr. Andre nard's. One of the party climbed ie, and put the rope over a limb an the end down. In an instant U1 Lite was jerked up about five feet i - air, the loose end of the rope wg d securely, and the crowd quietly di! rsed to their several homes. Trial Justice Wheeler, acting as Coi er, held an inquest over the dea rly of Miss Werts, and the jury r< ,ned the following verdict: "That th d Elizabeth Werts, of Newberr unty and State aforesaid, upon th &ntation of her father, Wta.

Thursday evening, the 20th, the po liceman found a colored man near the *e railroad in that portion of town known as "Gravel Town", who was unable to walk. He was carried to the guard t house on a wagon, and died there t Thursday night. The Coroner held an e inqnest over the body Friday. The testi mony showed that the negro was seen aMciling toward Newbery Thursday af d ternoon about two miles down the rail e road. He appeared to be crazy. When the 4P. M. passenger train passed down lie was sitting near t4e railroad. Both the engineer and conductor say he was not struck by the train. He was on the road when the freight went down. d The engineer stopped the train before reaching him and he was laid out of the e way. Some colored men found him and brought him into towi. He talked in a e rambling way; but nothing could be got out of him as to'his name or where he lived. A large number of persons, r both white and black, s. - him before s and after his death, but nobody knew anything about him. One colored man said he thought he had seen him in Columbia. Ile was bnried Friday by the County. The deceased looked sixty-five or seven ty years of age, medium size, bad whis h kers on his chin, and his front teeth were out; on his right arm was an an ebor in India ink. He was dressed in is dark clothes, considerably worn.

I have watched the use of the medicine now knownfas "Swift's Syphilitic Specific ilsince the year 1827-ov'er 50 years-and have never heard of a failure to cure when proper g, lv taken. I commenced the use of it on my iv- slaves, between 1850 and 1855. and as als4 se did a number of my neighbors, and in every case that came within my knowledge it ef fected a cure. In 1835 my brother-in-law o George Walker, bought at auction a slave '- not warranted. After the purchase it wa -discovered that he had had Syphilis for stwelve years. His head was without a hair yon it. He treated him with thisremedy, and o3 in four weeks he was sound and well, and in )r a short timne bad as lute a head of hair as ~was ever owned by a negro. He owned ',his dslave many years, and he never had any re as turn of the disease, nor lost a days work, l it This is only one among hundreds of instances h. of remarkable cures made by this medicine, i In all my past life I have never known *remedy that would so fully accomplish what es. it is recommended to do. >urTH H.
