ciated with Lever.

Washington, June 2.-The follow
ing are the committee assignments
OF the members of the South Carolina
delegation in the house for the Sixty
third congress as given out here to-
day:
Whaley-Merchant marine and
fisheries invalid pensions industrial
arts and expositions.
ByrneS-Roads, war claims, mines
and Mining.
Aiken-District of Columbia.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Lever-Agricultural (chairman).
notwithstanding and currency
Finley-Postoffice and post roads,
Mr.. Lever becomes chairman of thu
important committee on agriculture
His work in this position will have
a very direct and important bearing
not only on the agricultural activities
of the South but also on the prosper-
ity OF the entire nation.
Mr.. Whaley, as a member of the
merchant marine and fisheries COM
mittee, should be i'm a position To look
after the particular interests of his
district.
Mr.. Finley Is ranking member of
the postofiice committee, next to the
chairman, and preferred that assign
ment to the chairmanship of the
printing committee, which he held
previous to the reorganization. Tn
der the new rules Of the caucus, a
member of one of the more important
committees is not allowed to serve on
another
Mr.. Johnson holds his position on
the appropriations committee, and
Mr.. Aiken remains on the District of
Columbia committee.
Mr.. Brynes, becomes member. of
the new roads committee and also has
war claims and mines and mining.
1t will be seen that Mr. Brynes
goes off banking and currency, as
noted some time ago, and Mr. Rags
dale goes on the latter committee.
Mr.. Lever will at once move his
headquarters from his present room
In the capitol building over to the
house office building, where the work
OF the committee on agriculture is
carried on. With him will be asso-
ciated ID. S. Murph of St. Matthews
as clerk Of the committee, Mr.. Lump
Kin OF Columbia as assistant clerk and
j. Brooks Wingard as private secre-
tary.
When the members OF the South
Carolina delegation who are now in
Washington were seen they seemed to
be well satisfied with their assign
ments.
Discussing the matter, Senator Till
man said:
Il consider Mr.. Ragsdale's appoint
ment as a member Of the committee
on banking and currency as an espe-
N'""y ioItufdte one Tor him, as he has
Just come to Washington and had no
influence except such as he has gained
since he arrived here.
AS the tariff bill is already out of
me way. the banking and currency
committee will have the most inn
portant work that the house OF repre-
SehtatlVes VIII have to deal with the
remainder OF this session, and, in
deed. its importance will continue for
several years. He can accomplish
more for the country hundredfold
Than he could have brought about
had he obtained place on the rivers
and harbors committee.
