Details of Affair n(>t Vet Known Here Dm Rumored Thai Boat was Over? turned by Dynamit?* Explosion? Dead Man Was Former Resident of Clarendon County and Had Many Relatives and Friends Here. Prom The Daily Item, March 14. His many friends and relatives in this city were shocked Friday morn? ing to hear of the death by drowning of Mr. A. J. Tindal, a former resi? dent of Clarendon County, of near Butawvllle, while out lishing in the Ban tee river Thursday. Relatives hen communicated with members of the family over long dis? tance telephone Friday morning, hut little information was obtainable. The bodies had not been found up to the last reports received. With Mr. Tin? dal in the boat was his overseer, a man by' the name of Hush, 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 of the accident. He had later talked with the family over tin- telephone, but COUld not secure much informa? tion, 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 Priday morning was in effect that the two men had been dynamiting for Ash ami that they had not moved sufficiently tar 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. It 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? tively stated. Mr. Cuttino stated that Mr. George Tindal, a brother of the dead man, left Plnewood Friday morning for Butawvllle and that he would tele? graph fuller particulars when he reached the scene. Mr. Cuttino will himself leave Saturday morning for Butawvllle and do what he can to as? sist the family. The act blent occurred near Eutaw Vllle, not far from Ferguson's and is supposed to have taken place late Thursday afternoon. Mr. A. J. TindcJ was a 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 ville, where Tie bought a farm on which he was living. He was married to Mish Morris of Orangeburg, a daughter of Q, M. Morris of Orange burg county, who with three small children survive him. He also leaves three sisters, Mrs. M. V. Thomas and Mrs. Charles L. Cuttino of this city and Mrs. E. Q. 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 a good citizen and his ? b ath will DOVS a big loss to his adopted county. IIAZER8' TRIAL NEARS EM).

Blease* must respect the Wishes of the Kiehland County dele? gation in the General Assembly and appoint Mr. James Fowles judge of the newly created Township Court, or else let the judgeship go vacant and the office of magistrate be abolished, is the .stand taken by the delegation at a meeting today. At the recent session of the Gen? eral Assembly a law was passed cre? ating the Township Court for Colum? bia and at the same time automatical? ly abolishing the office of magistrate at Columbia, in the primary last lall Mr. Fowles was chosen for th? mag? istracy and the Kiehland 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. Fowlea to the Judgeship giving a.s his reason that he held one position already, that of magistrate. The Kiehland delegation met today and drafted resolutions to the Gover? nor, asking that he appoint Mr. Fowles to the new Judgeship. A mem? ber of the delegation made the state? ment that the majority of the delega? tion held the position that the Gov? ernor must appoint Mr. Fowles or no other name would be recommended. The law creating the new Court abol? ishes the magistracy in the city, and if Mr. Fowles is not appointed this tri? bunal will be left vacant and a bad state of affairs will result. A commit? tee from the delegation carried the resolution to the Governor. \era l :ss i:s indi ffe i i i:n t. Most of Them Don't ( are About the Vote.
