The Columbia Record says W. H. Townsend, Esq., of Barnwell, is being pushed by his friends for the position of code commissioner. He would make a good one. Another effort will be made at the present session of the legislature to redistrict the state. It is to be hoped those in favor of the scheme will succeed in having the law passed. OUR TOWN. Think a moment? Can anybody conceive what Bamberg was on the first day of the first month of the year 1801? Yes, it was an unbroken wilderness. This is the testimony of traditional history, and it is true. In these long years the hands, and head, and heart of mortal man in copartnership have wrought the shapeless chaos of the wilds into a beautiful civilization. The unbroken forest is now a budding city, and here where then the wild birds piped their shrill calls to their indiscreet young to hie them to refuge or a night's rest, now rings delightful school bells calling youthful humanity from a hundred hamlets and all the country between to our little Athens. And church bells commingle with these, but with still a louder blast, calliug "whosoever will" to higher and nobler thoughts and deeds on earth and to man's sacred heritage, eternal life. The musical hum of "intelligent" machinery' is heard on every side. Hundeds find profitable labor where it was not before, and there is no mean slavery to make a double burden of this employment. The kindly management of all this enterprise labors that if five hundred come with the rising of the sun to their employ, that he will witness as he goes down many a smile because they thrive and are satisfied. All this is true and more beside than we can write of. 1 et if this great progress had been prophesied one hundred years ago the prophecy wouid have* fallen on skeptic ears. The past at least teaches us all some idea of what we may do and what we may be as a community. In the barren soil of simple fyope the ideal must perish; in faithful, loyal work it is attained already. Tobacco in Orangeburg. A correspondent from Orangeburg in the News and Courier says: , The indications are that there will be fully as much tobacco planted in the county this year as last, and a number of farmers have already prepared their tobacco beds for seeding. Denmark Doings. Denmark, Jan. 16.?A numlfer of Knights of Graham Lodge, No. 35, attended a regular meeting of the Bamberg Order last Monday evening, and incidently conferred "Pleasant Reminiscences" on a" large number of its members. The Editor of The Herald was there and experienced the transformation with peculiar delight. The next to follow was a gentleman of "rare spirits" and played the role very successfully of FalstafF in scene 1. When he again appeared before his bewildered audience he was all that is left of the once strange Hamlet, whose immortal gaze might have pictured the thought, "I am not mad; I am not mad." The entire proceedings * of the evening were very interesting throughout. The visitors were very cordially welcomed. Kindness, courtesy, chivalr)* and even knighthood, are words of broad meaning, but one or all of them fail to express the warm, brotherly reception given by the Bamberg boys. The association of varied pleasures may in future years give way to a greater extended hospitality, but we hallow the occasion just past and feel that memory will ever hold it in the tide of love which will ebb and flow from one bosom to another. Capt. J. B. Guess expounded the mysteries of the side degree with apt ability. 'The initial members may forget the pass word of rank of Knight and possibly oft time the semi-annual, but the pass word of "Pleasant Reminiscences" will hold its place in the memory of each candidate. Even poor "Hamlet" will be able to give it one hundred years from this day provided the "ghosts' do not appear. Thank you, brother knights, for your unbounded hospitality. Mr. John J. McMahan, State Superintendent of Education, has submitted to the ,legislature a full report of his excellent work during the past year, and has made suggestions, which if carried out, will place South Carolina in the lead of another State in general merit and system of public education. Mr. J. P. Thomas, a member of the house, has introduced a bill providing for expert supervision. The plan is to do away with the oftice of superintendent of education, the duties of which to be devolved upon a competent board of education consisting of live members. This board will have the right to employ an expert teacher to supervise and control the educational progress of all country schools. Such a plan will insure competent teachers and above all it will take educational work out of the hands politicians. The duties of superintendent of education of Bamberg county at present are very limited since the* work is done by the auditor, who always has as much to do as he can do well. I cannot see the stroke of economy in such a provision. Every enterprise must have its competent manager, or else it will not succeed. The schools of our county are m neeci or oeuer provisional care, i ney cannot get it until the state shall make the bold start and put into action the plan proposed by the state superintendent or one equally as good. Senator Jlayfiefd favored this plan last session. If he has changed his views, it is conclusive that he has changed to - * 1 IT /I 1 jsoroeming neuer. .Messrs. v rum ami Bostick are new members, but,your correspondent believes that these gentlemen will rally to the support of any bill that will promise an enlargement of the progressive ideas and plans already suggested/ If our educational system is to remain in the hands of incompetent and disinterested managers the rural homes will continue to suffer and the wide gaps which now break the connection between schools and colleges will only become wider. Mr. Editor, 1 trust that you will take this question up in your paper and further enlighten the people as to its real merit. J. Blown to Atoms.

News was received here last Monday afternoon that a negro named Charlie Lang Riee had assaulted or attempted to assault Mrs. Melvin Hare at her home near Blackvillc about ten o'clock that morning, and that a posse was then in pursuit of him. He was caught above Rlackville late Monday afternoon, confessed that he was the man who committed the deed, and after being carried back and identified by Mrs. Hare, he was taken about a mile from the house and swung up to a tree and his body riddled with bullets. Our information is that there were about forty negroes with the lynching party, who assisted in putting the fiend to death. There was 110 one at the house but Mrs. Hare at the time, and it is supposed that the negro struck her with a stick or something heavy, *as her shoulder is either dislocated or broken and she is suffering severely from the effects of her terrible experience. Tlie.negro is known here, having been tried at the April term-of court for this county for rape on a colored woman, and found not guilty. It is also said that some time ago he had committed the .same crime upon a colored girl in Barnwell county, and had attempted to assault his own mother. He is a half witted fellow, and traveled around through Barnwell and Bamberg counties with a banjo made out of a tin pan. We were present at his trial in Bamberg, and he certainly hasn't much sense, but a mania for this sort of thing. The Blackville people did the right thing, but the pity of it is that he lived long enough to attack a respectable white lady. After assaulting Mrs. Hare he left the house and it was some little time before her screams attracted the attention of some hands who were working about two hundred yards front the house. They saw the negro pass, and a party was soon on his trail, and the chase was ended with the above result. Brought Good Fortune. A small item in his own paper lately brought amazing good fortune to Editor Chris. Reitter, of the Saginaw (Mich.) Post and Zeitung. He and his family had the grip in its worst form.

Elmore Elliott Peake, the writef of this story, has "come out of the west" with the energy and breeziness of Young Lochinvar. His story, "The Darlingtons" has secured for him fame, and if he keeps up his present style of writing, he will rank very high among modern story-tellers. A Prominent Chicago Woman Speaks.

A large posse is in pursuit, and if he is caught his crime will be followed by a lynchingBlackvim.e, Jan. 14?About 10.80 . o'clock this morning news was received of an outrage of the usual kind about six miles from this place near Elko. The negro entered the house and attempted to ravish the wife of Mr. Melvin Hair. The negro. Charles Lang, was caught this evening about three miles from Blackville and carried back to the scene of his crime. Upon being confronted by bis victim he confessed to having committed the deed. The party of men which had him in charge immediately carried him a short way from the house and, after swinging him up to a tree, riddled his body with bullets. This is as much as can be learued at this writing. The affair is deeply regretted. Mr. Hair is one of our most highly respected and influential citizens.
