The Walla Walia Fair, as usual of
late years. was not . great success last
week. There was lack of exhibits,
and consequent lack of patronage
and interest II was the same there a.
IL has been at Olympia and at Sesttls
In this respect The WateAman says i,
was not even as good q Fair as they
had ten years ago. II is too bad, with
all the growth and improvement of the
country. and the Increased opportuni-
ties for the making of q fret class
county Fair in . half dozen localities
IN the Territory. that this should be 20.
but that IL Is 80 is only too painfully
apparent.

Tie Crime at Prosperity.

The details Of the recent crime by two ne
groes against the person Of q young lady at
Prosperity, Newberry county, and the prompt
lynching OF the perpetrators OF the decd may
bc found in another column. 1t seems 10 US
that assaults upon females have become more
common throughout the whole country, and,
we believe, without exception, the offender
has suffered at the hands of all outraged pub.
lie. In this state 1t iscertain that no criminal
Of this class has escaped, aid 1t might he we'll
for those contemplating the commission Of
such offences to bear this fact In mind. In
crimes against the law, there arc usually some
e~xtenuatinS circumstances, but for such Of
fences no mitigating facts exist, and no plea
for mercy will avail. The certain, speedy pun
ishmcnt by the populacc comes from two real
sons: First, the enormity OF the crime; sec
ond, the almost certainty that the prisoner If
taken into court will escape or break through
tho mesheS Of the law. 1t Is a fact, which We
presume no Intelligent man In South Carolina
will deny, that the law has very little terror
TO those who contemplate and commit grave
offences The courts and juries from II sickly
sentimcntality, or from other considerations
have about ceased to punish crime, and tho
people Of South Carolina have for scvera.
years, been compelled to take the law into
tteir own hands. The first lynching, we be
lieve, ever lone in South Carolina. was in the
case OF the Harmon mnrdertrS In 1876. Every
wear since then the citizens of the State have
felt called upon to administer Justice. and H. l.
II fact that they have put more men to death
thar have all the courts and jurics or tho
state. Lynch law is not a safe law-but It is
our only protection when the courts OF the
State refuse to punish offenders against The
person. The punishment for assnu'ting 9
lady has never been deferred in South Caro-
lima, and we presume it never will be. Thisi'
q crime which Is sure Of detection, and The
awful md deserved penalty can in no case b.
escaped.
