Man Recommended by Them.

Columbia, March 12.-That Cover

wishes Of the Richland County dele
cation in the General Assembly and

bia and at the same time automatcal-
ly abOliShing the office of magistrate
| at Columbia. In the primary last fall
Mr.. FOWleS was chosen for the mag
istracy and the Richland delegation
thought it fair that he become Judge
of the new Court, which takes the
place of his magistracy. The Govern
or refused to appoint Mr.. Fowles to
the Judgeship giving as his reason
that he held one position already,
| that Of magistrate.
The Richland delegation met today
and drafted resolutions to the Cover
nor, asking that he appoint Mr..
Fowles to the new Judgeship. A mem
Der Of the delegation made the state
| ment that the majority of the delega-
ton held the position that the Gov
ernOr must appoint Mr.. FoWleS or no

now go to the department Of justice,
where all the facts will be looked into
In order to ascertain whether or not
Goodwin had fair trial. GoodWin's

From The Daily Item, March IA.
His many friends and relatives in
this city were shocked Friday morn
ing to hear of the death by drowning
or Mr.. A. j. Tindal, a former resi-
dent of Clarendon County, of near
Eutawville, while out fishing in the
Santee river Thursday.
Relatives here communicated with
members of the family over long dis
lance telephone Friday morning, but
llttle information was Obtainable. The
Dodles had not been found up to the
last reports received. With Mr. Tin
dal in the boat was his overseer,
man by the name of Rush, who was
also drowned when the boat was over
turned
Mr.. Charles l.. Cuttino, a brother
in-law of Mr.. Tindal, stated Friday
morning that he had received a tele-
gram Thursday night informing him
or the accident. He had later talked
with the family over the telephone,
put could not secure much informa-
tlon, as the connections had not been
good and had to be transmitted by
the operator at Holly Hill. The mes
sages he had received had merely
stated that the two men had been
drowned while out fishing in the river.
The report circulated on the street
Friday morning was in effect that
for fish and that they had not moved
sufficiently far off when the dyna-
mite exploded. The bottom had been
blown out Of the boat which was over
turned and the two men thrown into
the river. 1t is supposed that they
were too much stunned by the ex-
plosiOn to save themselves by swim
ming. Whether this report has any
foundation in truth cannot be posi-
| lively stated.
Mr.. Cuttino stated that Mr. George
Tindal, a brother of the dead man,
left Pinewood Friday morning for
Eutawville and that he would tele-
graph fuller particulars when he
reached the scene. Mr.. Cuttino will
himself leave Saturday morning for
Eutawville and do what he can to as
sist the family.
The accident occurred near Eutaw-
Vile, not far from FerguSon's and is
supposed to have taken place late
| Thursday afternoon.
Mr. A. j. Tindal was son of the
late James E. Tindal of Pinewood, a
former. Secretary Of State. He was
| raised in Clarendon County and lived
| near Manning until about three years
ago, when he sold out there and
| moved to his late home near Eutaw-
vile, where he bought farm on
which he was living. He was married
to Miss Morris of Orangeburs, a
daughter of G.. Nj. Morris of Orange
burg county, who with three small
| children survive him.
He also leaves three sisters, Mrs.
NJ. V. Thomas and Mrs. Charles L..
Cuttino Of this city and Mrs. E. G..
Quattlebaum Of Columbia, and two
brothers, Messrs. Geo. and d. L. Cut
| tino of Pinewood. He was well
known in this city and county and
| had many relatives and friends here.
Mr.. Tindal was one Of the early
graduates of Clemson College and
won distinction for himself several
years ago by raising a world record
| corn crop. He was an enterprising
| farmer and good citizen and his
| death will pove a big loss to his
| adopted county.

Vote.

London, March IA theatrical
journal has made a canvass of the
British actresses on the question of
suffrage. The poll shows 244 in favor
of woman suffrage, 326 against it and
S45 Indifferent.
Mrs. Despard and several other suf-
fragettes, while leaving a meeting at
Eastleigh last night, were pelted with
clods of earth and other missiles by
a hostile crowd.
The latest exploit of the militant
suffragettes in London is the obiitera-
ton Of the names on the gate posts
of houses in the residential section.
Armed with pots of tar and brushes
they raided the Richmond district
early today, disfiguring many houses.
London houses are distinguished
