Thursday, January 17,1901.
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

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.

Negro Lynched for Assault.
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. Their
doctor did them no good. Then he read
that I)r. King's New Discovert' for consumption,
coughs and colds was a
guaranteed cure for la grippe and
all throat and lung troubles; tried it and
says: "Three bottles cured the whole
family. No other medicine on earth
equals it." Only 50c. and $1.00 at Dr. J.

Beat Out of an Increase of His Pension.
A Mexican war veteran and prominent
editor writes: "Seeing the advertisement
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, I am reminded that as a
soldier in Mexico in '47 and '48,1 contracted
Mexican diarrhoea and this remedy
has kept me from getting an increase in
my pension for on every renewal a dose
of it restores me." It is unequalled as a
quick cure for diarrhoea and is pleasant
aud safe to take. For sale by Bamberg

Wifely Love.
There is a rattling good story in the
February number of The Delineator entitled
"The Flagging of the Cannon Ball."
It tells of a wife's devotion to her husband,
who has just been appointed conductor
on an express train and who is to
pass through a mining district where the
train is to be wrecked. 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.

Negro Lynched Near Elko.
Wii.i.istox, Jan. 14.?Barnwell county
has today another painful example of the
vicious animalism of a certain class of
negroes. The wife of a well-known
farmer living within one and a half
miles of Elko was assaulted with criminal
intent by Charles Lang, a negro well
known in the community. After accomplishing
his purpose lie attempted
robbery and fled. 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.
