Very Important.

aSpeaker Cannon, of the House Rep
resentatives, has given Congressman
Lever 90 assignment as member OF
the committee on agriculture. While
this is the only appointment Mr..
Lever received, it is upon an impor-
tsnt committee and places him where
he can be of benefit to the great
majority of his constituents. And
there is no doubt that he will use
every opportunity that offers in the
interest, not only of the farmers, but
those of every other occupation. y
Sumter Herald.
We take the above from the Sumter
Herald. The District should con-
gratuIase itself upon the fact that
Congressman Lever has been assign
ed to committee of 80 much impor-
tance to its agricultural interests,
and to tho industrial development OF
the State and South. This Commit
tee takes rank with the most impor-
sant of the House Committees, and
there is always an earnest contest
for assignments ON if, especially
between members from the South,
representing Agricultural Districts.
Through the recommendations OF this
Committee to the house, the Depart
ment of Agricultural which is doing
80 much for the. education OF the
farmers and the development of the
farming interests of the country, re-
ceives it's power.
1t is particularly gratifying to have
southern members on this Committee
for they we'll understand the peculiar
needs and possibilities of the south
eru farmers; and We feel sure
Congressman Lever will devote his
best efforts to bringing to the stten-
ton of the Committee and Congress
the vast agricultural resources, both
of his District and the entire State.
It was upon this same Committee
that the late and lamented Dr.. Stokes
served with so much benefit to his
people during his. congressional
career, and it is very pleasing to the
friends of young Lever to know that
the leadership of the House regards
his ability so favorably; as to place
him in the same seat at the committee
table which his distinguished pre-
decessor occupied-and this after SO
brief a service in the house.
Representative Williams, the pre-
sent Democratic leader on the floor
of the House, left this Committee
only this year when he was elevated
to the minority leadership. That
our Representative should be select
ed for this place is high compli-
ment, both to the District and to
him, and the Dispatch wishes to
extend it's heartiest congratulations
to our young Congressman, and to
wish him career on the Committee,
brilliant for himself, and beneficial to
his State and District. Editor
