-a-- L Press Opinions on the Lynch ing at Prosperity. News and Couriur. For a crime such as that which was committed near Prosperity on Monday night, there must be the 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 the justification of thu lynching of tb two negroes who -killed Mips Werts. .e 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 thni 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 where 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 not do, some still harder death will be found. Anderson Intelingencer. 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 fur any community to resort to it. But in such a case ;as the outrage upon Miss Werts at Prosperity, we cannot do otherwise than comu-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 digniLy 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 Yiwberry that no worse or more torturing form of death was resorted cc. 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. Tramping the life out of the two brutes, by the easy modes of shooting and hanging, seems a small retribution for the ruin thly had caused. Renew, if necessary, the fire and faggot, the Rack and wheel of Damiens ; and bang 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-i 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 i' Surely not ! Woman's virtue and honor is wore to a man than life with all its surroundings. We only regret that the citizens of Prosperity had not burned these devils in human form. Laurensville Herald. The lynching of the perpetrators of the damnable outrage upon Miss< Werts,near Prosperity,was not only ful-t ly justified by the cirenmstances, but those who inflicted the sunmmary pun ishment deserve commendation. The death those fiends died was even too mild to atone for their hellish deed. They deserved theo severest forms of torture. Barnwell People. There are crimes of too grievous ac character to wait the tardy punishment provided by legal methods. In the swift execution of Spearman and Fairf the citizens of Newberry county obeyed the mandates of that higher- divine law which recognizis the purity of womant as infinitely sacred. Death by rope and pistol was too merciful for suchc creatures. Greenville News.. There will be a verdict of unami mocus approval of the act of the S citizens of Newberry, who so prompt- 2 ly and justly put the two brutes who a so foully dishonored and so coolly slew j a pure young woman. A blacker crime than theirs has never been re corde~d, and no horror of death could [ have been too great for them. t Hampton Guardian.i The recent lynching of t wo negroes in Newberry County cannot be consid. r ered a crime in our humble judgment.- t It was righteous retributioa for most I hellish deeds, and every man who par- ~ ticipated in the meting out of justice I should be looked upon as a public 1 benefactor. Newberry News. c Their punishment would not have been too severe if they had been roasted by slow degrees. Shooting and ha:ng. ing are too good for the infernal devils who think nothing of cruelly out raging and murdering the young and most beautiful girls of the land.

Wyatt Aiken, in the con- e tested election for member to Con- il gress from tle Third Congressional n District, left A bbeville yesterday, and a has served the following answer upon e J. C. Stolbrand, or his attorney J. F. I nHbbs We presume the fight will low ComILieuce in earnest. Let our )eOple wateh the evidence that may o furnished by the enemies in our >wn conilnulnity. Whatever these vinesses may swear will b! sure to -owe to light, and our people should ot rest until evdry man who swears 'alsely is punished. Should deputy iiarshal's cowe to arrest our citizens, hey should endeavor to avoid being eft alone with any one of them, for here is no telling to what they may ;wear. In cases of this kind, the gov ,rnment usually furtishes the evi eace, and then does the punishing. rhe wonder is that a jury should -onvict anybody upon the evidence of ?aid witnesses WASHINGTON, D. C ,Jan. 22, 1881. O.J.STOLBRAND.Esq., Columbia, S. C. Sir : Your notice of coutest "in the natter of the election of Representa -ive to the Forty-Seventh Congress," -erved upon me by your Attorney J. F. Hobbs, was duly received, and in reply thereto I have to say, that I bject and except to each and all the grounds of contest as therein set forth. First, Because the allegations are ;o vague and general that they be aome immaterial and no evidence would be competent ii 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 waiTing 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 Democratic 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 baving voted the Democratic ticket they were proscribed and maltreated by -parties, .both male and female, of -heir own race ; that Republican vo ,ers on the day of election, took pos ession of the polls and held them a4 long as they were able to the exclu iion of Democratic voters; and that ,eneral intimidation occurred at va rious precincts in the District. All these several and various alle ,ations will be proven, and it will >e shown that these acts occurred -otably at Columbia, Richland Coun ;y, Pomaria, Newberry County, Green good and Cokesbury, Abbeville Coun .o, and Lexington Court House. I further charge and shall offer to >rove that at every precinct in the District colored voters desi'ring to rote the iDemocratic ticket were conm >elled under duress to vote a ticket >ther than that of their choice. Respeetfully. &c., D. WYATT AIKEN. The New Cotton F.ietories. It is a settled faet that Cotton Fac ories pay handsomely in the South. Ybhere the management is keen and conomical and the situation is fav rable, cotton mills pay better than ny other permanent investment in his part of the United States. They nake money when the New England nille barely pay expenses. When the iowell niiis earn miuch, the South Jarolina and Ge.orgi-a factories earn till more. This is the effect of the aving in expenses, and the cost of naterials. It is cheaper to bring the nills to the cotton than to send the otton to th wills. Moreover, the hhole of the capital invested in man factories in this State is exempted rom State, county and municipal tax tion for ten years. The money benefit is not all. Cot on mills give employment to women nd girls, for w.hom there is little then profitable occupation in South rn cities. This, in itself, is of vast alue, as a large body of persons who ow are constrained to live in idle ess, become, at once, producers, who well the aggregate earnings of the ommunity. The city is made stronger s more indviduals become self-sup. ,orters. These views we have advocated for many years, and it is with no ordi any satisfaction that we find that wo large cotton factories are now rojected, one of them to be situated a Charleston. The mill which is to e established at Williamston will be an by water-power and the Charles on mill by steam. The common idea Sthat cotton mills cannot be run with ufficient cheapness, except by water ower. This is an error. Water-power las its disadvantages in the irregularity nd uncertanity cf the supply of water. steam-power does not vary, and work an go on night and day without hange or stoppage. The United states census of 1870 is conclusive n this point- At that time there rere 956 Cotton mills in the United tates, and more than half of the >oms were run by steam ; the steam ower of the mills was 47,117 horses, nd the watar-power only 99,191. In areat Britain and Ireland in 1871 here wer-e 2,483 Cotton factories, and he steam-power was 300,480, and he water-power only 8,390. No lore need be said on that branch of be subject. There is not the slightest doubt bat the projected Cotton factories will arn liberal dividends. They will he ithe hands of active and sagacious aen who have no sentiment in busi ess, and will not make the factories ither -catacormbs or hospitals. This ill ensure success. [New- and Conurier..

The Williamnston Cotton Fac tory Was chartered by the presen t Legislature under the name of the Pelzer Manufacturing* Company. The factory ia to be located on Su luda River, two or three miles be low the Piedmont. The success that has attended the Piedmont makes the stock of the new enter prise much sought after ; it is con sidered a desirable investment. The books were opened in Charles ton Tuesday, and the whole amount required--8400,000-was subscribed in three days. A few men in Newberry subscribed one day last week, without any can vssIng, z.18.000 to the stock. This with the .40,000 in the Pied mont makes nearly .;;0.000 of New berry capital invested in cotton factories-nearly half enough to start a factory at home. But our caitalists are rather afraid of steam power: if it be ascertained that steam power is as clueap as water then they will put their capital in a factory at home. The Wiliimi2ston factory will be in operation by the Spring of 1882, and will be built on the latest im proved plans. Mr. Lockwood, the engincer who superintend.ed the building of the Piedmont, has charge of the Williamston. The reason the factory was char tered as the PelzQr Manufacturing Company was that Mr F. J. Pel zer, of Pelzer, Rogers & Co., of Charleston, is the leading sph it of the enterprise: he alone takes one fourth of the stock. Hodges, Abbeville County, is pre paring for a cotton factor-y. Charleston is preparing for two cotton factories. Camden is preparing for a cotton factory. Williamston is preparing for a cotton factory. Rock Hill has a cotton factory. (-Meenville has several cotton fac tories. Newberry, the best location for a factory in the State, and the place most needing one, is not prep)aring for a cotton factory, and there is no present likelihood that she ever will. Yet we venture to say that there is not a place in the State: or ouat of it where a factory could be established with less trouble. There are numbers of people ready to aid in the enterpise, convinced as they are that it will be a profitable in vestment ; but there is nobo~dy to take the lead. The F.lection C'ases. Two or thlree cases for violation of the election laws were tried in the United States Court recently held in Charleston. WV. L. Webb, white, of George-town, was convict ed of voting moreo than one ticket and was sentenced to two months imprisonment and a fine of $10 and costs-the costs amount to $242. The other election cases will come up at the April term. Between three and four hundred persons have been b)ound over to appear at this Court for violation of the elec tion laws. Thle Charleston Factories. Books of subscription were open ed in Charleston Thursday for a steam cotton factory to be built in that city. The first day 8120,000 were subscribed. It is proposed to raise nearly a million. The German citizens of Charles ton held a meeting Monday night to take steps towards building a cotton factory Exclusively out of German capital. Charleston is in a fair way to have two large cotton factories in a short while. Another Ohie MIan P'rovided For.
