which he was appointed in October,
1897, bv Governor Ellerbe. He has
given efficient and faithful service dur
ing his term of office and has labored
hard To oatbsr.and put ineshape the
part that South Carolina took in that
qreot struuoIe, He should be compen-
sated for his services during the past
vear. and 7 commend it to your favor
able consideration.
