Press Opinions on the Lynch ing at Prosperity. News and Cou:ier. For a crime such as that which was committed near Prosperity on Monday night, there must be the j speediest and severest punishment that civilization will allow. Burning at the stake or chopping the offender into mince-meat were not too much. But death, unaccompanied by torture, is the extreme penalty that the re straints of custom allow. The most that can be done is to make vengeance sure, and execute the guilty brutes on the spot where the horrible deed was done. This is I the justification of the lynching of the two negroes who -killed Miss Werts. The action of the citizens neeas no apology. In what they did they rep resented society at large, and were the exponents of a law that is older thsn governments, and more venerable than the constitutions of States. We grant that even lynching may not prevent the commission of the worst offences in a State wher': the lowest class is large, and is easily made uncontrollable. But if lynch ing will not cure the evil, it will miti gate it. Nothing less than lynching is of any avail at all. And if simple shooting or hanging will Dot do, some still harder death will be found. Anderson Intelligencer. The Intelligencer has always con demned lynch law as dangerous and not to be countenanced in a civilized country. It is a very great calamity for any community to resort to it. But in such a case ;as the outrage upon Miss Werts at Prosperity, we cannot do otherwise than connu.end the motives and the men that meted out -swift, sure and awful vengeance upon the human fiends who had com mitted the blackest of crimes. None of the dignity or consideration be stowed by the law upon those accused should have been shown these guilty wretches; and it is a tribute to the moderation and law abiding disposi tion of the people of Newberry that no' worse or more torturing form of death -was resorted to. Such crimi nals as those at Prosperity should never be permitted to see the inside of a Court House. Kershaw Gazette. The crime was punished, as it should have been, by the immediate execution of the perpetrators of the crime. Tramr'ng the life out of the two brutes, by the easy modes of shooting and hanging, seems a small retribution for the ruin they had caused. Renew, if necessary, the fire and faggot, the Rack and wheel of Damiens ; and hang such brutes upon the scene of their crime, to teach the penalty of such an act. Camden Journal. From our whole hearts we endorse it, and we only wonder that the de mons in human form were honored even with a bullet or a rope, but they should have been nailed to the stake and burned alive. Let them live ? Of course not iLet them. appear in our courts ? Surely not I Wow an's virtue 'and honor is more to a man than life with all i:s surroundings. We only regret that the citizens of Prosperity had not burned these devils in human form. Laurensville Hlerald. The lynching of the perpetrators of the damnable outrage upon Miss Werts,near Prosperity,was not only ful ly justified by the circumstances, but those who inflicted the summary pun ishment deserve commendation. T.he death those fiends died was even too mild to atone for their hellish deed. They deserved the severest forms of torture. Barnwell People. Tee-re crimes of too grievous a character t.o wait the tardy punishment provided by legal methods. In the swift execution of Spearman and Fair the citizens- of Newberry county obeyed the mandates of that higher divine law which recognizes the purity of woman as infinitely sacred. Death by rope and pistol was too merciful for such creatures. Greenville News. There will be a verdict of unami mous approval of the act of the citizens of Newberry, who so prompt ly and justly put the two brutes who so foully dishonored and so coolly slew a pure young woman. A blacker crime than theirs has never been re corded, and no horror of death could have been too great for them.' Hampton Guardian. ~The recent lynching of two negroes in Newberry County cannot be consid ered a crime in our humble judgment.. It was righteous retribution for most hellish deeds, and every man who par ticipated in the meting out of justice should be looked upon as a publhe benefactor. Newberr.vNews. Their punishment would not have been too severe if they had been roasted by slow degrees. Shooting and hang. ing are too good for the infernal devils who think nothing of cruelly out raging and murdering the young and most be.autiful girls of the land. Aiken Objects and Excepts. Reply to Stolbrands Notice of Contest-Proof of Fraud Demanded Abbeville Press and Banner,26thi. olonel . R. Gary, attorney for iow cou1I0euce in earnest. Let our cuple watch the evidence that may ,c furnished by the enemies in our :wc cormunity. Whatever these I winesses may swear will be sure to cote to light, and our people should not rest until evdry man who swears falsely is punished. Should deputy marshal's come to arrest our citizeus, they should endeavor to avoid being left alone with any one of them, for there is no telling to what they may swear. In cases of this kind, the gov ernment usually furnishes the evi dence, and then does the punishing. The wonder is that a jury should convict anybody upon the evidence of paid witnesses WAsHINGTON, D. C , Jan. 22, 1881. C.J.STOLBRAND.Es.. Columbia, S. C. Sir : Your notice of contest "in the matter of the election of Representa tive to the Forty-Seventh Congress," served upon me by your Attorney J. F. Hobbs, was duly received, and in j reply thereto I have to say, that I object and except to each and all the grounds of contest as therein set forth. First, Because the allegations are so vague and general that they be come immaterial and no evidence would be competent iu their behalf. Second, No precincts being named, nor frauds specified, nor names of par ties to the alleged general frauds be: ing mentioned, the grounds fall from want of sufficient particularity. Third, Were it possible to prove aid establish the general allegations made, there is neither evidence nor claim that the contestant was a candi date for election to the Forty-Seventh Congress of the United States. And not wairing my exceptions to your said notice of contest, I hereby expressly deny each and all the charges and allegations therein con tained and set forth, and do require you to prove the same. Prepared, as I am, to vindicate my right to a seat in the Forty-Seventh Congress of the United States as a member. from the Third District of the State of South Carolina, I allege and charge as a matter pertinent to the issue raised by you, that at various precincts in, the District persons of color desiring to vote the)emocratic ticket, upon which I was a candidate, were debarred the privilege of so do ing unless in secresy, or under the protection of their employers; that having voted the Democratic ticket they were proscribed and maltreated by parties, .both male and female, of their own race ; that Republ.ican vo ters on the day of election, took pos session of the polls and held them as long as they were able to the exclu sion of Democratic voters; and that eneral intimidation occurred at va rious precincts in the District. All these several and various alle gations will be proven, and it will be shown that these .acts occurred notably at Columbia, Richland Coun ty, Pomaria, Newberry County, Green wood and Cokesbury, Abbeville Coun to, and Lexington Court House. I further charge and shall offer to p,ve that at every precinct in the District colored voters desiring to vote the Democratic ticket were com elled under duress to vote a ticket ther than that of their choice. Respeetfully, &c., D. WYATT AIKEN. The New Cotton Factories. It is a settled fact that Cotton Fac tories pay handsomely in the South. Where the management is keen and economical and the situation is fav orable, cotton mills pay better than any other permanent investment in this part of the United States. They make money when the New England milli barely pay expenses. When the Lowell mijis earn miuch, the South Carolina and Georgia factories earn still more. This is the effect of the saving in expenses, and the cost of materials. It is cheaper to bring the mills to the cotton than to send the cotton to the wills. Moreover, the whole of the capital invested in man ufactories ic this State is exempted from State, county and municipal tax ation for ten years. The money benefit is not all. Cot ton ills give employment to women and girls, for w.hom there is little~ other profitable occupation in South ern cities. This, in itself, is of vast value, as a large body of persons who now are constrained to live in idle - ness, become, at once, producers, who swell the aggregate earnings of the community. The city is made stronger as more indviduals become self-sup porters. These views we have advocated for many years, and it is with no ordi nary satisfaction that we find that two large cotton factories are now projected, one of them to be situated in Charleston. The mill which is to be established at Williamston will be rn by wata-power and the Charles ton mill by steam. The common idea is that cotton mills cannot be run with sufficient cheapness, except by water power. This is an error. Water-power has its disadvantages in the irregularity and uincertanity cf the supply of water. Steam-power does not vary, and work can go on night and day without change or stoppage. The United States census of 1870 is conclusive on this point. At that time there were 9563 Cotton mills in the United States, and more than half of the looms were run by steam ; the steam power of the mills was 47,117 horses, and the water-power only 99,191. In Great Britain and Ireland in 1871 there were 2,48:8 Cotton factories, and the steam-power was 300,480, andI the water-power only 8,390. No more need be said on that branch of the subject. There is not the slightest doubt that he projected Cotton factories, will Tihe .ierald. T ... have THOS. F. GRENEKER, Fll'r) s lieer W. H. WALLACE, EuroAs y,.d wion ~ f~~intl -. T: are NEWRERRY. S.

A few han; . tim<c m<n in New berry subscribed one day last week, without any can han vassing, S18000 to the stock. Sm This with the $40,000 in the Pied sa mont makes nearly 600,000 of New- T berry capital invested in cotton inat factories-nearly half enough to ed i start a factory at home. But our of S capitalists are rather afraid of steam power: if it be ascertained that T steam power is as cheap as water then they will put their capital in a the factory at home. B The Williamnrston factory will be +on in operation by the Spring of 1882, Cha and will be built on the latest im proved plans. Mr Lockwood, the T engincer who superintend.ed the the building of the Piedmont, has charge of the Williamston. .
