ment of his eternal reward, his death

Yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock.
Bishop Howe was born at Claremont,

ate of Cambridge aud a contemporary,

ty Church. Claremont, one of the old
est aud largest Episcopal churches in
New England. Mr.. Howe. upon being
prepared for college, entered the Uni
versity Of Vermont. where also he vas
graduated in August. 1914.
Determining to study for the minis
try, a correspondence between his
father ant the late Bishop Gadsden led
to Mr.. Howe's becoming candidate
for Holy Orders io the diocese of South
Caroliua and to his pursuing his theo-
logical studies with the Rev. G. Wal
lace in St. Johns Parish, Berkeley.
Mr.. Howe received deacon's orders in
St. Philips Church, Charleston. in
1847, aud priests orders in St. Steph-
ems Chapel in 1S49. Upon the Rev.

showing every variety Of fraud.
It was shown that the commits
sioners did not announce or publish the
appointment of the managers OF the
election by law /; that in many
instances managers came out OF the
polling places to intimidate voters and
so on ad iufnitum. There was a long
wraugle about allowing Mr.. Verdler
to read athdayits which the county
board had refused to allow him the
time to prepare and file. They were
to be read on certain conditions.
Miller in his argument said that
throwing out all votes contested would
no. change the result Of the election.
Mr.. Verdier took the ground that
the fraud shown to be practiced all over
the county and even before the day Of
the election was sufficient to vitiate the
entire election in Beaufort County.

journed uutil to day at $50 p. M:
Resolved, That after full hearing
of the contested cases in the State elec-
ton for Darlington county the returns
of the county board of caevassers be
received SO the vote of Darlington
county.
The following resolution 10 the Beau
fort case which refers the matter to the
Legislature was also adopted:'
Resolyed, That after hearing as fully
as our limited time would permit the
contests from the county of Beaufort
for county officers and members of the
General Assembly, it is the opinion of
the board that there we're gross irregu-
larities in the conduct Of said election,
but insofar as the evidence before US is
concerned. it is not sufficient to change
the general result as returned to US by
the county board Therefore We would
most respectfully suggest to the Gene
raj Assembly that they take such &C
ton 10 the premises as they see fit.
The following resolution was also
considered, but final action on it was
postponed uatil to-day:
Resolued further, That it is the opin-
ion of this board, judging from this
and some other matters that have come
before this board, that it is high time
for the State to take some steps to pro.
tect the purity Of the ballot box and
secure fair elections by the revision and
the correction of the election laws Of
