WAITED TO POSITION ON
WAYS AND MEANS.
The APPOINTMENT Places the Local
Representative in Very Command
ing Position in National Lawmakine
Eody-FulI Personnel of Committee.

The people of Brunswick were more
than gratified yesterday with the an
n0unoement tnat Speaker Cannon had
appointed their very able member OF
congress to the most important com
mittee in the entire house-tbe ways
and means A democratic vacancy ex-
listed on the committee due to the
death cf Judge J. NJ. Griggs of the
Second district, and in filing that
vacancy the speaker saw fit to name
Hon. William G. Brantley, Of this
city, representing the Eleventh dis
trict in congress.
THE ways and means committee is
beycAd all question the most impor-
eaut coal.lis,eo CT tie t.3uso, having
in its charge matters of deepest con-
Germ to all sections OF the country. 1t
is doubtful if there is a member of
the committee who has reached that
exalted place Of distinction in the
house with as few years of service
to his credit as is the case with Con
gresham Brantley.
The winning OF this committee ap-
pointment by the Brunswick congress-
man greatly extends his sphere of
usefulness in the house and makes him
a real power in its deliberations. Mr..
Brantley is already member of the
judiciary, public buildings and groundS
and other committees. In order that
it may be understood just what q
mark of distinction this appointment
carries with it ought to be stated that
the committee on ways and means is
composed always Cf the leaders OF the
two parties in congress together with
other very strong members from both
sides of the chamber.
The full committee as it stands,
with the addition of Congressman
Brantley. is as follows: Republicans
Serene e. Payne (majority leader Ct
