Selected Without Knowledge of Sd licitation by National Government to Fill Newly Created Posltion. A special dispatch from Wrizzhts ville. N. C.. to The State says E. J. Watson Wednesday made the fol lowing statement in answer to a question as to an offer of a federal appointment: I really do not care to say any thing about it. but I always try to be frank. and since you ask the dir rect question. I will tell you that it is true that on Monday last. by one of the cabinet officers. without any so:iciting on my part. or even, an intimation of the possibil ity of such a thing until I re ceived a wire from Washington. I was tendered one of the most at tractive positions in the gift of the nvtional government at a salary arger than the assistant secretary >f any of the departments. larger han any of the governors of the tates. save Tenne'ssee and in effect better perhaps than that of United tzates senators. Asked as to the position itself. ommissioner Watson said: "I do not feel at liberty to state at exactly. However. the duties ould be in the nature of those of L special representative of the Wash ngton government and of a purely onstructive and non-political car ,cter. being in execution of a re paly developed determination in he part of the government to push vith especial vigor American trade nd commerce into the furtherest ections of the world. The duties rould be In line with those to which have devoted my every energy in uth Carolina. but with the world or a field. and would carry the nan discharging them first for some 'ears to the Orient-China. Japan d .\ongolia-and then to South frica and other countries. The du tes of the position would be such oo. as to enable one to accomplish nuch for the texile industry of the outh as well of the country at large Lnd perhaps to do a great deal on .l matters pe'rtaining to cotton. rhich great American agricultural rodtmet would receive. under the olicy adopted. mcst particular at ention. The fullest exploitation of merican manufactured products in rorld's regions wherein they are now nknown would be a leading line of Iuty." Asked still further about the of er. Mr. Watson said: "I was totally in the dark that was even being thought of. and ad no intimation until a telegram me to me last wec. while I was ttending . farmers' union meeting d I went to Washington. where ? ound that Representativ'es Burle on of Texas and Lever of this State tad surgested my name in connec ion with the position when inquir es were being made about congress 's to a man equipped for the ser 'ice desired. After the cabinet 2eeting on .\onday. last. after a very brief interview with me. the cabi et officially tendered the commnis lon to me without regard to in orsements or any thing else. anmd vas readly to make the appointment .hen and there. I was allowed a 'easonable time to consider the mat :er. at my reqiuest, owing to its 'ar-reaching effect upon my own fui ure and uponx the work which I save been devoting my every e'nergy n my home State." "What are you going to do about t?" was asked. Ar. Watson said. "That I can not et teil. The offer, coming in th:2 form and being an offer of a posi tion of grave responsibilities free "rom the influence of politics, and ing of the same constructive char aeter as work in which I .have been engaged, is extremely atterin;:. and the salary maaes it alluring. On the other hand my whole soul is vrapped up in the work of my own state. This work is developing at n atonishing rate. and I am nr' Leeking the fruits of untiring labor every side. The work I have wanted to do ia South Carolina is not yet done, hut it is on the high. ising tide, and I should hate to !anon it. Butt I am a poor man ind the State pays scarcely a living 'n 'er present conditions, but then Lnd there are many things to be 'aken -.nto consider'ation. and I am iving them the most careful con ..ideration of my life.
