J. P. Dei-ham, of Conway, and W. G.

Members
Columbia, Feb. 27?The State tax
commission was appointed by Governor
Manning this morning as follows: A.
W. Jones, of Columbia, chairman; W.
G. Query, of Spartanburg, and J. P.
Derham, of Conway. Mr. Jones immediately
resigned as Comptroller Gen- i
eral and the Governor appointed 1
Charlton W. Sawyer, of Orangeburg, I
to succeed him. * . '
The State tax commission was se- (i
lected by the Governor after careful i
study and after giving the closest at-''
tention to the personel with especial l
attention to their fitness and ability, '
and it is believed that he appointments
made by Governor Manning on
this tax commission will meet with <
the unqualified approval of the people
o fSouth Carolina, for they are 1
each peculiarly fitted for the work. i

man of the commission, has been 1
Comptroller General for twelve years i
and in that time has made a special i
study of the tax questions so much so 1
that he is recognized throughout the I
country as an experHind an a libority
on the matter. This comes in with
his line of work and rounds out a j
career of usefulness and- service. For
several years Mr. Jones has been recommending
a central tax commision
and no one is better qualified than
he is to equalize tax aissessements and
make the law uniform and inpartlal. ,
Mr. J. P. Derham. of Horry county
who was also appointed on tna tax '
commission, was comptroller general j
of the state before Mr. Jones and is ,
himself an expert on the question. ]
His fitness for the position is also 1
well known over the State.
SPARTAN FARMER. |
Mr. W. G. Query, the other mem- 1
>er of the tax commission, is a farm- '
er of Spartanburg County, and at ,
present a member of the General As- |
sembl.v, which position he \will re- I
sign. ^ He first came in prominence as 1
forman of the grand jury which ,
took such a fearless stand for law |
and order in his home county and I
went after the lynchers. His splen- '
did grasp of business came into ,
favorable notice during his work as 1
forman of the grand jury in lnves- 1
tighting the county officers and his
recomeudations as to the comunity
finances. He is one of the most promising
of the younger men in public
life In South Carolina, and no appointment
that Governor Manning
has made will meet with more universal
approval than this one. The Gov- |
ernor Manning as Comptroller GenIng
three such abie and worthy men
to serve on the tax commission.
THE NEW COMPTROLER.
Charlton W. Sawyer, of Orangeburg,
was today appointed by Governor
Manning as Comptroller General
of South Carolina vice A. W.

of merit and ability which
are the main reasons why the Governor
selects an individual for appointment.
He is being heartily congratulated
on selecting Mr. .Sawyer,
to whom there is no more worthy
or more pouplar man in Columbia
and South Carolina.
The new Cojnptroler General has,
field his bond and taken charge of the
office.
Carlton Wilkes Sawyer, Comptroller
General, is a native of Orangeburg
