WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 6.-Repre-
sentative Croft, who succeeded his father
in congress, and who will serve only Tor

signalize his brief stay in congressional
life by getting an appropriation for pub

duced it and will work hard to secure it.
One Of his colleagues from South Caroli-
ma, Mr. Scarborough, is on the COMMITTEES

edo all in his power TO get the committee
! to consider that bill. (
S. Representative Johnson was giving Mr..
Croft some fatherly advice to-day. 1t

When Mr.. Croft was candidate to sue
ceed his father he told the people OF his
district that If they would elect him for
the unexpired term he would not ask to
be reelected. This furnished the basis
for the remarks of johnson, who said:
aCrofs, here made the mistake Of say
ing that he would not be q candidate for
reelection. told him he ought not to
say it, bat he did, and now he has found
that his people took him at his word. He
ought not to have said SO, and We might

But Mr.. Croft would not stay in con.
eress if ne could. He says that he wanted
|: to back to South Carolina and take care
of the handsome.law practice which was
one Of the legacies left him by his father.
