Joh n son and Sen ator It. It. Tillman for appoiintment to a federal job which carries a sal ary of $3,000 a year has notilled then that he declined the position to which they had recommended him and to which he would, before now, have been appointed. The position was that of State Agent, in the Internal Rove nue Service, the dulties being that of going over the books of corporations naking income tax returns. Mr. Gregory, since learning that the work required a man who was an expert accountant, decided that lie could not coiscientiouisly accept ti place, and so notified both Congressman Johnson and Senator Tillman. The telegram and letter sent by Mr. Gregory and also a letter in re ply sent by Congressman Johnson, follow: Telegram: Union, S. !C., 'March 30, 1915. [Ion. Josoph T. Johnson, Washington, D. C. Have decided to decline the place offered me. Will write you fully. (Signed) John W. Gregory. Mr. Gregory then wrote the follow ing letter: Union, S. C., March 30, 1915. [Ion. Jos. fr. Johnson, Washington, D. C. Mry Dear Mr. Johnson: About a week ago \Ir. BIlackwood wvrole me that he had sent in his resignation, and that no doubt I wollld soon receive 1113' a ppolint mnti but I had noticed by the papers that quitote a number had been asked, to resign, in order tleit expert accoutit llts imight be appointed to take their places. Now, when I wrote Senator Tillman accepting this place, I told h1im it was only oil condition that I could fill it acceplitably to the govern Iment, as I was a little conmslentiolls about what I did, and when I saw it reqIlired an expert, I feel It my duty to ask you to withdraw m y naeni, as I ami not an expert accolintant. I have handled a great variety of books for the last. twelve or thirteen years, an(I have a pretty good knowledge of books in a general way, yet I do not claim to be an1 expert. aceountant, never having keel) books of that ki(d. I trust I have miade this matter plain, an(1 you cofn readily iee 111Y reasons for taking this course. I appreciate, however, youir efforts In my behalf, and thank you just as heartily as if I had been ILpIointed. With kIndnest personal regards, Sincerely yours, John \V. Gregory.
