The death of Col. J. Q, Marshall of Columbia, which occuried veaterday at Buffalo Lithia Springe, Va., will cause general regret throughout the state. Col. Marshall was widely kuoun and was held in the highest esteem. He was a noble, patriotic, upright South Carolinian. Col. Marshall had been in ill health for several years, suffering from kidney trouble and iheumatism and his heart was involved, so that it was known to himself and to his friends that he might at aDy tine die suddenly. Nevertheless, as his health bad recently been excellent, the news of his death is a shock. 1 A*-1 Jo fitno r\f niH'/.Pn L OI. iUaiBUttll lO UIC t ? J7V V* Vtv<uv?. that can be ill spared. Just now he was eugaged in a most important work for Columbia, as he was chairman of the street commission which is struggling with the problem of paving Main street and he had gone into this work with his characteristic energy and courage. Tbe father of Quitman Marshall was the gallant J. Foster Marshall of Abbeville, the second colonel of Orr's regiment, who fell at the first battle of Manassas. Quitman Marshall was born in Abbeville, but had lived in Columbia since early manhood. He was serving as a magistrate in Colum. ? ri Dia wnen waue nnui|jiuu was governor and it was he who administered the oath of office to General Hampton as governor. Young Marshall had done fine service in the Hampton campaign. He was at that time prominent In the local militia and iu social circles in Columbia. He was appointed by Governor Richardson .to serve an unexpired term as secretary of state. After this he returned to the practice of law in Columbia and was very successful at the bar. He was the first president and one of the organiz ers of the company which built the first electric street railway in Columbia, which was at first operated by horse cars. His fight to maintain this company was one of his most signal service to the city and required ability 01 nrtti uruer. In 1898 Col. Marshal] was elected to the state senate from Richland county, and was reelected in 190C without opposition. He was not a candidate lor a third term. During his services in the senate he was chairman of the commission to complete the state house and only within the last few months did be complete hie work, the commission being continued in power for several years. He developed the matter which was brought out in connection with the work done on the capitol under the supervision of Architect Milburn, which was a sensation at the time. His work on the state house commission was another characteristic service ltuucicu iuc oiuiv, When the Columbia street commission resigned several months ago, Col. Marshall was elected by city council and then was made chairman and had devoted much time to this work since that time.
