An Urgent Appeal to Every
Lover Of Order in the State.

The recent action Of our Legislature on
the subject of ardent spirits calls for the
gratitude of every good citizen fo-, though
the law enacted may not be as stringent as
muny desired, it is of incstimable value as
an evidence Of tho tendency of tho enlight.
ened public sentiment Of our Common
wealth This enactment conspircs with
other facts to reuder tho present the most
nuspioious time to step still further forward
in tho march toward reform and sobriety
iu all our borders.
1t is conceded that there is power full
struggle now going on in the public mind !;
and it is believed that our law makers will
DO much greater thing for us next winter,
if wo show them that We will uphold them
in their efforts to rid the country of tho
curse of rum.
Let Us rally to their support Let us
aid, as far as in us lies, in enforcing the
present law. Let us tell them, when they
reassemble, of our earnest, anxious longing
for the total banishmcnt Of ardent spirits
from our State.
Think how highly God hos favored us in
soil, in climate, in water power, in IMMORAL
wealth, iu scenery, in everything. Think
how instantly ample prosperity and undisa
turbed enjoyment would rest upon our peo-
pie If the dreadful domou Of drink we're
driven from our limits Think that nipe.
tenths of our criminal expenses result from
drunkenness. See how our jails, our peni-
tentary, our poor. houses and our asyu
arc crowded with sad victims of the habit
Of drink. Think Of the lives of innocent
ones jeopardized or lost by the drnuksrd's
violence. Shall wo longer quietly witness
reason detbroned, property wasted, conf
dcnce destroyed, happiness turned to woe,
hopes blasted, lives lost, and souls oon-
signed to pcrdition? Shall we not rather
unite in general effort to bring these evils
to all end !?
IL is therefore, hereby proposed that We
begin at once to circulate for signatures an
carnest petition to our Legis ature to pass al
the next session a law totally prohibiting
the manufacture mud sale of ardent spirits
as a bsv,rsge. Every reader Of this appeal,
white or colorcd, malo or female, old or
young clerical or lay, who is willing to cir.
cnlnto or cause to be circulated one or moro
of these petitions, is earnestly invited to
wriio immediately TO our Grand Worthy
Patriarch, Rev. s. Lander, .Williamston, s.

MULTIPLICArIoN or THE Scrip

MULTIPLICAvIoN OF TIE SCRIP
TUREs.-'l he Bible production Of
our time is equal to more than /,
million copies a year, or say more
than nineteen thousand every
week, more than three thousand
every day, three hundred every
hour, or five every minute OF
working time. At this ratio the
press is producing an English
Bible or Testament every twelve
seconds. Those Bibles are not
wastcd-thoy are rcquirod--and
more copies Of the Sacred Scrip
lures are demanded in tho English
tongue than in the languages of
all other nations Of the world,
although tho number Of versions
to which this country gives en-
couragemcnt and assistance, over
and above, is considerably moro
than one hundred and fifty.

evening over a road almost impas-
sable from the continuous rains to
MIR. Werts's place, where we went
over the ground thoroughly. The
scene Of the crime is a pretty
sloping oak ridge, along which
runs a path, commanding a view
Of the field through which tho
poor girl passed on her way home.
A form lay by great pine tree as
if in sleep. 1t was the neglected
corpse Of tho first killed william.
His ebony face looked singularly
composed. rhe pine tree beside
him, to which he had been bound,
was Clipped and riddlcd with balls.
Before we left some negroes came
with wagon and conveyed him
away for burial. They seemed to
dislike their errand.
SAM REFUSED BURIAL BY THE
CoLoRED PEOPLE.
We then camc back to tho
scene of the second rctribution.
1t was just dusk. A dolefuI rain
was falling and the tramplcd
earth was like a quicksand. We
left the road, crossing a fence and
wading to the dark strip Of wood
something white loomcd up under
the trees. 1t was the ashy ca
uaver Of the mulatto Sam. He
lay on his back where he had
been dropped from the limp above,
like petrifaction hardened by
the dropping of the rain. In that
lonely place, at that dismal hour,
there could not have been moro
ghastly sight. His relatives ap--
piled to tho colored church here
tor per mission to inter him in
their graveyard, and the strong
feeling Of the colored people about
the crime is shown by the unani--
nous refusal Of the preachers
and the elders to allow such a
scoundrcl to dcflc their ccmctry.
The negroes have Stunned him,
and he lies there tonight without
sepulture. At the request Of his
stcpfathcr, Trial Justice Wheeler
to-day cmpannel|ed a jury Of in
quest over his body. In tho alb
scnce of any testimony they
returned with grim bumor, a vcr--
dict of death at the hands Of an
infuriatcd multitude.
Everything is quiet as Sunday here to
day, but there is DO topic spoken Of except
the events of the week. There is not o
voice among tho whites or blacks which
does not declare that the punishment was us
just as tho crime was horrible. N. G. G..

The Opening Year.

Orphan hours, the year is dead,
Come md sigh, come and weep,
Merry hours smile instead,
For tho year is hut asleep;
See, it smiles as it is sleeping,
blocking your uutimely weeping.
.As an earthquake rocks corpse,
And its coffin in tho clay,
So whito winter, that rough nurse,
Rocks the dead-cold year to-day.
SoloDn hours wall aloud,
For your mother in her shroud.
Az The wild air stirs and swoys
The tree swung cradle Of child,
So tho breath of these rude days
Rocks the year be oa'm end mild
Trembling hours; abe will arise
With new lovo within hor eyes.
January gray is here
Like sexton by her grave;
February bears the bier;

Aud April weeps-hut oh. 70 hours
Follow with Nays fairest flowers.

Further Particulars of the Werts
Tragedy.

PROSPERITY, NEwBERnY County, S. c.,
January 2O.-I received news of tho hor-
| rItlc double crime near here too late to
comc Oh yesterdays train, aud last nignt's :
! freight was not sent out on account of an
accident on the road. Reaching here to
day immediately get out with Mr.. IL G.
Aloselcy, visiting tho scenes Of the crime
| aud the arrangement.
The Ncms and Courier has had full
synopsis Of the terrible affair already, and
my object is to supplement it with the full
details. Miss Werts was greatly beloved in
the ncighborhood where she was well known
aud respected. Her father is u large farmer
living about two miles from town On
| Monday evening Miss Wc,ts proceeded gu
a visit to her brother, about Hi aud a
quarter from home. Dave Spearu,uu and
Sam Fair, the former coal bucK negro and
the latter muiatto, each about 81 or 22,
were employed on the place. Sam was
ploughing IN field in sight Of the house,
Dave working near l.er path. Sam was
seen from the house worNing in tho field
until supper time, Dawes position being
hinden by the trees. At supper time both
esn.cto the house, ate supper in the kitchen
under tho observation uf Mr.. Wcrts, who
spoke with them on various Subjects and
did not sec a trace Of uncasipcss about them.
After supper they weut oct againt for tho
night. Dave was married and lived with
his wife oD the place; Sam lived with hs
mother on an adjoining plant ton, to reach
which he would have TO take the same path
us the murdered girl
Miss Wcrts did not return that night, but
this excited no uncaslncss, ns it was supposed
she had stayed with her brother. Next
morning sam went to Mr.. Wcrts, consiJc-
ruby agitutcd, and told him his daughter
was lying dead updcr fence, about half
mile irom the house. Mr.. Wcrls hurried
there accompanied by Sam, aud, on finding
the dead body of his dsus,tcr, sent him to
summon the ncghbors, lie Whiting teside
her. In going to tho spot Sam had ac-.
! counted for the death by saying he thought
Miss Bessie might have injured herself
! falling over tho fence. Neighbours aud
friends quickly gathered, aud un immediate
Investigation was made, followed by the dis
covery Of the preparation Of hidcuus
crime.
A coroner's jury met 10 Prosperity aud
several persons were examined, no clue
being found TO direct suspicion Both tho
murd"re's were present as spectators. Here
Mr.. IL. 0. Moseey began somo Intelligent
detective work. Having 40 indelioabIe
suspicion Of Sans knowledge Of the crime,
he in an indifferent manuer asked him to
take off his coat and vest Ile did so, and
on minute examination of tho latter strand
Of wool was found neur tho lapel of the
color of tho fringe Of Miss Werts's shawl
