"No matter by whom the members of these two boards may have been recomended, I have not the slightest doubt that the attitude of General; - / aw- I Crowder, as a direct resun 01 cue visits to Washington of the Reform committee, is solely responsible for the character of the appointments." It is not known whether or not these boards as appointed are the recommendation submitted by Governor Manning. If they are, their personnel, and the fact that the Reform party) has been given recognition, shows that ; even the governor has been forced by iDublic sentiment to a recognition of! the justice of the protest filed Inj Washington by the Reform committee, and that this is virtually an admis-| stfon on his part of the unfairness1 and partisanship displayed by him in j his recommendation of the local | boards. One of the members of the eastern * ' *- ' 3 '" TJWilliQTT1 A.. I district uuaru nuu. ? ? Stuckey, of Rishopville, who was a! member of the Reform committee. Thej first man named on the western dis-j | trict board is Col. J. Marion Davis, of; j Newberry, superintendent of the New-j berry cotton mills and recently elect- ' ed president of the Southern Textile! association, who has been prominent-! ly identified with the Reform party, for a number of years and who was j a member of Governor Blease's mili- j tary staff. The appointments as a whole are very pleasing to the members of the! Reform -party, who have made themselves felt in no uncertain manner in carrying direct to Washington their protest against discriminatons against them in former war board appointments in this State. The committee appointed by the mass meeting here held two conferences with Genreal Crowder, and placed before him the true status of affairs in South Caroina, following the publication of the dispatch from its Washington correspondent, in The Charleston American that- finvpmor Manning, on a trip to Washington, had "told the department ! that if the county officials mentioned (shriffs, clerks of court and county physicians) conducted the registraj tion in South Carolina, that 'slackers' might have their day, and that politics would control the work in South Carolina." Discusing the federal exemption and appeal boards today, former Governor Blease 3aid: The Personnel "Mr. R. Q. Jeffords, of Darlington, who is connected with the Atlantic Coast Line Railway, is, in my opirdon, a good man, and will make an excel I lent member of the eastern district | | board. It is useless for me to make any refereace to Mr. Robert D. Scarborough, of Conway, former congressman and now member of the board of regents of the State hospital for the insane appointed by the present gov-' ernor; his political positions since I.S'ji) up to now are too well known. .Mr. VV.

"As to the western district board, I do not thnk the Reform party has a1 truer member, or that I have a better; personal and political friend than J Marion Davis, of Newberrv. His faith i i has been proven by his works since we were children together. There is no fairer man in the State, and he will make an exceptionally splendid mem-: ber of the board. Mr. J. W.

I mill employes should assure that the j interests of the cotton mill boys of the* j western district will be properly safa-j guarded. | "Taking them all in all. we must I give the authorities in Washington j credit for having named very good boards and I am satisfied that the two trips of our committee to Washington j had much to do with bringing about | the appointment of this class of men. ' I am convinced that General Crowder. ! from his remarks to us, saw what might become a very serious and critical state of affairs in this State if bitter local partisanship had been [allowed to control in naming the apj peal boards for the district, as was ! the case in the appointment of the lc| cal boards. The little county boards i will have to be more particular now I tlian they .vould have been, because j they have men over them to set aside j any actions of their, which may be inI fluenced by mean partisanship. j "I have had no opportunity for consultation as yet with any of the members of our committee, and the observations which [ am now making are personal views. I shall be very ( much surprised, having studied care-1 fully of the personnel of these two boards, if any man or set of men can dictate toa majority of either bo*r'j; what course they shall follow as a; whole, or what action they shall take in any individual case."
