Fraser Lyon gave out the followl'ng this afternoon: "The impression scons to have been made upon 'the mind of somle persons by the news reports from Laurens of the hearing before Judge Watts, in the case of Banks against the tax coin mission, that the spectal fund appro priated by the legislature for the use of the governor for special counsel was to be used to pay a fee to 1110 for services rendered the tax colmIlls sion.

"A case lin my13' own expericeO as Attorney General was also referred to, where counsel was employed and ald contrary to my wishes s As t tolr1Y General. These matters were referred to solely for thie purpose of showiln that it would be either within tIle 1ulles of tile law or within the I'ules 01 propriety that special counsel of thc tax commission, approved by the gov ernor shotfld be accorded a hearing."
