U- It is with profound sorrow that we tic
chronicle this week a crime that in Pe
to fiendish brutality is without a. parallel
p- in this State. 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

een rapidly in numbers and the cry "Hang
ow him!" "Hang him!" grew louder. Trial

a- An Unknown Negro Dies in the Cuard
House.
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. There
t was nothing in his pockets except a few
ir old buttons, a sort of dagger made of a
large, sharpened nail and a piece of
I leather, and a set of "bones" for rat
) tling.
e The verdict of the Coroner's jury was
that be died from too much liquor and
exposure.
- A. B. Maloney, M. D., Philadelphia,
o Pa., says: "I find Dr. Bull's Cough
e Syrup excellent, having a ready sale
s and rendering mere satisfaction than
i- any Cough SSrup I have ever sold.

PERY, Ga., April 14. 1b79.
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.
