commissioner the next election was

successful farmer and business man
and has previously been candidate
for this same position.
Mr.. Walker. Of Barnwell. is one Of
the modest and retiring members Of
the present House of Representatives,
who has little to say. never makes a
speech and does not push himself in
any way.
1t was not altogether expected that
there would be an election upon the
first ballot, but it resulted as follows:
