H?lds Fowles Was >ut Fleeted 3Iag-j istrate by Voters of the Whole District Included. I ! Columbia Record. * i In stating that Magistrate Fowles! should go before the people in a pri- j xwary election to be recommended for; judge of tiae recently created town-1 ship court, Governor Blease, in a let- > ler to the Richland county delegation,5 3:as the following to say: "I stand by my motto, 'To the Vic-, tor belongs the spoils.' You never, h-ar me squeal when one of my friends is not elect (i or appointed to any office which is controlled by my1 enemies, and niV enemies should not: squeal when they do not get theirs^ irom me." Governor Blease takes the position i That the bill creating Columbia township takes in a larger territory than that which Magistrate Fowles has jurisdiction over: that two other mag-I isirates are effected by it?the mag- ' istrates at Waverly and a portion of Ward 5. H-e is of the opinion that a i primary should be held at which thej people state their choice. He says i that he will abide by the decision of Tile electorate. | James H. Fowles, magistrate in Co-j himbia, was recommended by the, delegation as judge of the new town-( ship court, and the governor refused to appoint him. The delegation, at a j J meeting held yesterday, addressed a letter to the chief executive, stating ! why Mr. Fowles had been recommended. They again urged his appointment to the position specified. ^n refusing to comply with the delegation's request the governor today sent them the following letter, which is quoted in full: March 13, 1913. j Hon. F. H. Weston, Senator, and Hon.: A. M. Lumpkin, Hon. freorge R. Rembert, Hon. J. T. Miller, Hon. R. H. Welch and Hon( Pringle T. j Youmans, Members of the house of representatives. Richland county, Columbia, S. C. Gentlemen: Your communication of March 12 received. In reply thereto, I beg leave to say: Mr. Fowles having been elected magistrate, 1 think it most assuredly his full duty to remain at his post J <>+ "inHa with rhp 3.11(1 lUlilli lilt? inau^ ? ivu wj^.^ democratic voters, which I am satisfied his opponent would have done had he been elected. Secondly: You state Mr. Fowles is r-commended "because he had been nominated in the primary for magistrate." I presume you will recall that your township court bill takes in much more territory than is taken in by the position to which Mr. Fowles has been elected. As I understand it, t( "Waverly is in this township, and also ? - - ~ Warct o, anc ntiuier uie ycupic Waverly nor the people of Ward 5 had any voice in Mr. Fowles' election. Therefore there is nothing in the ar- . gument that he was elected magis irate and therefore should t>e judge of ; ^ ~ C? ?? T n V? O A11 1 H 4 tills. CUUX L, iUl 1 am oaviouvu jiv ? not be elected magistrate or judge of? this court it' it were left to the voters * of the entir-e township. My reason * for making this statement is that pro-) . A Tests have been filed with me against' his appointment by those people who .did not have the opportunity of par-4 licipating in the election at which he; was chosen. Therefore your argument that he is the people's choice falls to the ground, as I am satis- j fied your entire delegation know! that Mr. Fowl-es could not have bee* elected magistrate had Ward 5 par-; ticipated in the primary?the whole of Ward 5. I stated 011 the stump all over this j State that I would not appoint my po- j litical enemies to office except where the people spoke by the primary; tiiatj I believed in the primary and believ- ^ ed in standing by it. And 1 hav-e done i so, with possibly two or three exceptions, for which 1 have the best of reasons. I appointed Mr. Fowles magistrate j T ^ s\4- l-? o T/-\ r\-n a V?orl 1*1 ?> i A LIICH i. v\ uu1u iiui llcl y ^ viwxjl^ jljlc*.?a *-*. not been the democratic nominee, but 1 cannot and will not appoint him township judge and I presume the solution of the matter is to continue to let him act as magistrate and let the township court bill stand In statu quo until the next session of the gen 3ral assembly, wnen it win De wumu the province of you gentlemen to amend your bill so that the township judge may be elected by the people, as it should have been provided at the beginning. There is another phase of the matter to which I want to call your attention. This township court bill greatly increas-es the authority and jurisdiction of the judge holding un/ i . ovi r :ii?- ; ?ri:\ .. mi .pnslicliun )i l;i niai,i.sl i'ntc s oilice 10 which Mr. Fowles was * iccted in the primary, and the people haw not in a primary said they wanted him to have any such authority and jurisdic lion. Now, if you gentlemen are willing to fix a primary for some Tuesday in April and let the democratic voters of the township select the township i judge, if Mr. Fowles is chosen, no one 1 will be more willing to have him serve than 1 will be, and 1 will gladly bow to the will of the people and appoint and commission him. In the meantime, I stand by my motto, "To the victor belong the spoils." You never hear me squeal when one of my friends is not elected or appointed to any office which is controlled by my enemies, and my enemies should not squeal when they do i.ct get mars irom nu*. Very respectfully, Cole. L. Blease, Governor. POWER PLANT DEAL REPORTED.

Ten persons are reported to have been killed and property valued at several hundred thousand dollars destroyed, by a severe wind and rain j storm, accompanied by lightning, j which sw^pt portions of Louiliana, j l exas, Aiaoama, Mississippi ana xeuuessee yesterday. The deluge of rain extended over a more extensive area .and practically remoralized telephone and telegraph service for severai hours. Greatest property damage and loss of life was reported in Provencal aud Many, La. The town of Provenca! practically was wiped out, many build- j ings were blown down and wire service demoralized. Reports Meagre. Only meagre reports from the strick en district were obtainable. Deaths, injuries and destruction oc property were reported at Many. The property damage at Brookeland, Texas near the Louisiana border, was estimated at $100,000. While only one person was reported killed at that point many were seriously injured. Reports from Gadsden, Ala., told of one death, one person missing and destruction of property in Etowah and path of the storm in that section were blown diwn or put out of commission by lightning. | Probably Four Dead.

This is the outcome of what bade fair for a time to be a complete disagreement between the senior and the junior senators as to these items of patronage. Senator E. D. Smith and former Governor John Gary Evans called on Pres ident Wilson today in behalf of the candidacy of Justice C. A. Woods, to i succeed Judge Goff on the Federal cir-l cuit bench. There is a decided im-' pression among the South Carolinians h r<? tha: .! . ! i \\ . o _ ; ihc place. (all oil 111<' l'rosidont. Representative I). K.

Johnson was also a caller and secured from Mr. Wilson, a reprieve of sixty days for "R rinnriwin. fnrm-erlv of Laurens county, South Carolina, who was under sentence to be hanged tomorrow, at Globe, Arizona, on the charge of having committed murder. The reprieve is to permit the friends of Goodwin to look into his case. Baker Takes Oath. Jas. M. Baker, former assistant librarian of the United States senate, was today elected secretary of that body and took the oath of office, which was administered by the vice presifi nt in the senate chamber. One section of the senate gallery was filled with friends of the new secretary to witness his taking the oath. Among the number were Mrs. B. R. Tillman, Mrs. -James M. Baker, Mrs. T. Baker and Mr. Baker's three sons, two of whom came over from Princeton to be present. Secretary Baker enters upon his new duties with the expressed good wishes of the prominent republicans of the senate as well as of the democrats. Origin of the Easter Egg Custom. The favnr ao.eorded to among1 j Eastertide observances is said to have originated from the ancient worship of Ostara, goddess of the ' East, whose feast was celebrated with much eating and drinking, monv c-noAiol r\ffar>\ n rm liciin o- m a rid j uxaixj op^v^xai wijlv/x muuvj I including the egg of sea fowl. From northern Germany the worship extended into Great Britain. The Anglo-Saxon name for April, the season of the festival, was Easter month, and in Germany this month is still known as Ostermonath. Many other of the popular Easter observances, especially in the Netherlands and Germany indicates traces of similar origin. The egg is sym bolical of the resurrection.
