BRAVO FOR COL. WATSON!
Our State Commissioner Of Agricul-
ture, Commerce and immigration
Stands by Poorly Paid Posi-
tion.

Columbia, February 19.-Commls-
sioner Watson, of the state depart
ment of agriculture, commerce and
immigration, who has declined here
tofore to make any statement IN re-
gard to.the offer made to him in Geor-
eia at a larger salary than he receives
in South Carolina, tonight gave to
the press the following statement an
nouncing his decision to remain IN his
native state:
1.-THE extremely hattering offer
made me by the Chamber of Com
merce of Augusta has been given the
most careful consideration, and those
making the offer have been so kind
that it was with. the most sincere re-
er.C that reached the determination
to decline it. For many reasons, per-
sonal and financial, this offer was
most attractive to me and I felt that
I could not decline it. I have acted
against the advice Of many strong
friends, and have voluntarily put
aside the excellent opportunity and
greater pecuniary consideration
awaiting me in Augusta, simply from
sense of what I regard my duty to
my state, my friends and to myself.
I have felt the deepest interest in the
vitality important work Of the depart
ment Of which I am the head, know
inc as do, the present economic con-
ditions in South Carolina, and this
work being in it's infancy as it were,
to forsake it I felt would be depriv-
ing the state Of The experience I had
been commissioned to obtain for her
in an entirely new field, experience
belonging to the state, and not to
myself individually
"In the light of these briefly sta
ted considerations and the opportunl-
tv for a splendid development upon
all lines in South Carolina under ac-
tive promotion, I have deemed 1t my
dutv to remain here and lay aside
personal considerations.
"It was unfortunate that the news
Of this offer reached the public just
as the general assembly convened, as
it placed me in an extremely embar-
RAISING position. Had the usual tight
on the department not occurred, my
decision might have been different.
While the fight was pending and be-
fore the issue was received, it became
necessary for me to choose between
the attractive opportunity awaiting
me in Augusta and a possible adverse
conclusion here; but my decision was
made at that time and the chairman
of the board advised Of it, with the
intimation that under certain circum-
stances, then undeveloped, I might be
able to reach a different one.
"Inasmuch as I am remaining here
without an increase. Of salary and
am voluntarily surrenderlng the
handsome one offered me, trust that
the gentlemen in. Augusta who have
50 honored me. and have so generous
" indulged me in the matter OF time
asked to reach conclusion, will be
assured that in declining their lnvl-
tation I have acted solely and abso-
Iutelv from a sense Of duty.

:'home Office annex Mr.. Hughes
showed that none Of this money had
been spent by Hamilton for this pur-
pose. When numerous other pay
ments to the Judge were disclosed
Mr.. Mccall admitted that Hamilton
had charge of the New York Life S
bureau of legislation and taxation.
One payment after another to Hamil-
ton was uncovered by the state in
vestieators, until the grand total
stood at 81, $4,000.
The Armstrong committee called
upon President Mccall to instruct
Hamilton, who had gone to France
before the inquiry began, to return,
and in the event Of his not being able
to do SO to make an accounting Tor
the moneys which had been paid to
him. particularly the $4,000 which
he had got on the ''home office an
mex account .
Mr.. Mccall sent his son, John c..
secretary of the New York Life, to
Paris to get Hamilton. Secretary Nc
Call returned with a doctors certifi-
cate to the effect that Hamilton was
not able physically to undertake the
trip home. and also statement which
purported to account for the moneys
which he had received, but which, in
fact, contained no detailed informa-
ton of the expenditures.
Mr.: Mccall remained president OF
the company until January 3, when
he retired. He admitted to the board
Of trustees in his letter of resignation
that he had made mistakes, but de-
clared that no officer or trustee OF the
company in his fourteen years OF
service had ever profted improperly
to the extent of a dollar at the ex-
pense of policy-holders.
In the early part of this month the
New York Life's self-investigating
committee, which had been appointed
to examine into the payments to
Andrew Hamilton, brought in re-
port condemning President McCall>s
attitude in this matter, and holding
him liable for about 100000 in addl-
tion to the $235,OOO which he had
paid back into the company.
To pay the s235,ooo Mr.. Mccall
was obliged to mortgage his summer
home, Shadow Lawn. at Long Branch,
\. J., and shortly afterward ne sold
it. This place was one Of the most
beautiful summer residences IN this
country. It was built only two years
aoo and is said to have cost Sl,OOo,-
900. Following his retirement from
the New York Life Mr.. Mccall also
disposed Of good deal Of his person
al property, including his stable and
all his carriages.
Mr.. Mccall is survived by his
mother, who lives in Albany; bis wife,
three sons, John c., Leo and Ballard,
and daughter, who is the wife OF
Darwin Kingsley, vice president OF
the New York Life. Edward E. Me-
Call, the supreme court justice, Is q
brother.
Mr.. Mccall was a generous contrib
utor to religious and charitable or
ganizations. He gave an altar to the
Cathedral of the Immaculate Concep-
ton. at Albany, which is said to have
cost s50,OOO. On the stand before the
Armstrong committee Mr.: Mccall
testified that he was not q wealthy
man; that if he were to die at that
time the greater part OF his estate
would consist Of bis life insurance,
which amounted to between S3oO,ooo
and 100000.
