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.

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
