Laurens, April 3.-Parrot 3Iilamn 1 wa taken to the penitentiary today Sheri~ Reid, to begin his sentence of eight years, imposed a tr year ago, after his conviction on the no aharge of assault and battery with in Lent to kill, the alleged assault having ne been made upon W.

Liked to see the commission appointed - by Governor Ansel retained in office is a whole, but the governor has not een able to rise against certain per 3onal prejudices and it is not surpris- se ing that some of the members of the Ja :ommission, known to be politically Cc unfriendly to him, have been displac- Ca d. That Dr. Babcock, superintendent 19 Af the hospital, and Dr. Wilson, chair- an man of the State board of health, p1 would remain on the board was taken th .or granted. Their professional and ag Eheir intimate acquaintance with con- fo: litions at the hospital will be of great S. value to their new colleagues. Mr. Aull is one of the few news paper men of the State who supported xovernor Blease, and his appointment - ss a fitting recognition of friendship in time of need. Mr. Aull is perhaps s familiar with the affairs of the of state government as any other man t n South Carolina. His 'three years or g nore as private secretary to Governor Ar icSweeney gave him an excellent op- "I )ortunity to become acquainted with er; tl1 departments of the State govern- O On nent, and his later service as a mem- ca. >er of the house of representatives us as marked by very careful study of fal state affairs. He made one of the eai nost valuable members of the ways lui Lnd means committee that has served fre n that committee since the chairman ,hip of the lamented Altamont Moses. The other two appointees are men >f business experience and both are fa niliar with large affairs. Mr. Floyd nade an excellent mayor.of Spartan urg, where he is highly regarded, nd Mr. Payne was one of the best ounty treasurers that the State has iad in ma.ny years. It is very well ndeed that the governor has selected hree such capable citizens for what' 'e must regard as the most import mt task now before the State.
