Committees.

made his announcement of the various
committees of the House of Repre-
sentatives, after being engaged for five
weeks in the work of making his
selections. South Carolina is awarded
one chairmanship in the person OF
Capt. G. w. Shell who is put at the
head OF the committee on Ventilation
and acoustics. The following special
to the State indicates the places given
to the other South Carolina congress-
men, as we'll as the chairmen Of the
different committees:
Representative Shell was the only
member of the South Carolina delega-
t1on who got q House committee chair
manship. His committee is not an i'm
portant one, but it increases his influ-
ence and extends his patronage. He
Is allowed secretary at So day. He
has not as yet said who his secretary
will be, but it is quite likely that
young Frank Shell will fall heir to
this neat little plum. In addition to
the Craftsmanship, Mr.. She'll also goes
back on the committee on agriculture.
civil service and Interstate and foreign
commerce. Mr., Talbert is on two
committees--labor and expenditures
in the Interior Department.. Mr.. Lati-
mer landed on public lands, Mr.. Strait
on patents, Mr.. McLaurin on manu-

chairmanship, but he is not fretting
about it.
