Columbia, Dec. 26. — South Caro lina’s new chief highway commis sioner, J. Stanley Williamson, elected i Tuesday to succeed the late Ben M. ■ Sawyer, has been engaged in engin eering work since 1916, and since {August, 1922, has been connected with the state h^way department in various capacities. NEW YORK, N. Y.—Called the champion recmitef of North America, this winsome young lady. Miss Blaine Basset, from Dallas, Tex., is the original of the Canadian "Joln-The-Army” posters, where her face did such a good Job that it now has been selected to perform a like service for Uncle Ssm. today, the commission elected the present state highway engineer, J. S. Williamson, chiM hii^way commis sioner, to succeed the Hon. Ben M. Sawyer, deceased.” Mr. Chandler said: “The state has lost in the passing of Ben M. Sawyer one of its finest and most capable public servants. He has given 14 years of untiring and unselj^ish service as chief highway commissioner of South Carolina. The distinction with which he discharged the duties of his office and his ac complishments are too well-known throughout the state for me to again enumerate them. It has been a great privilege (o work in such close as sociation with one of his personal magnetism, ability and high ideals.

Chief highway commissioners are electjKi at the pleasure of the com mission, and the act creating the of fice, provides that the yearly salary shall not be in excess of 96,000. The new chief commissioner takes over his duties at once, and for the time being will also discharge the duties of highway engineer, no one yet having been elected to fill that F>ost. Soon after the highway commission had adjourned, it gave out the fol lowing statement: “G. C. Chandler, chairman of the state highway commission, announc es that in a short executive session irreparable loss to each member of the state highway commission.” CCC Boys May Be :.
