No game under the sun has i'm
proved in regard to the personnel Of
its participants as baseball, according
to Scott E. Chesnett OF Birmingham,
. Southern league umpire.
There are very few rowdies in the
game today" he added, and time will
soon come when q rowdy will no more
be tolerated in baseball than in any
other profession. Drinking, c%arousing
and other forms of dissipation, once
so prevalent, are very seldom wit
messed today.
Baseball players have learned that
rough tactics avail them nothing, but
this is directly the result Of the firm
hand of Judge Kayanaugh, president OF
the league, and the frequent expression
Of disapproval on the part of the fans.
Throughout the 1914 season, I was
compelled to put out of games only
three men, whereas in the olden days
umpires often put out half a dozen in
one afternoon. And another improve
ment which is noted is that no longer
do sporting editors attempt to roast
umpires. During the season l IA not

Sweitzer charges that Thompson

When Mrs. Rodriguez was taken to

NEW COMPTROLLER GENERAL.
\. w. Jones, Long i'm Service, Goes to
State Tax Commission.
columbia Record, 27th.D

NCOlulnDla RECORD, Sitn.
Announcement was made Saturday
afternoon at the Offices of the Cover
nor Of the following Executive ap-
pontments:
State Tax Commissioned. w.
Jones, OF Abbeville, chairman; w. G.
Query, Of Spartanburg, and j. p.
Derham, Of Horny.
Carlton w. Sawyer, OF Edgefield
named Comptroller General of the
State to succeed A. w. Jones, re-
signed
While it has been understood for
several days that Comptroller Gene
lal Jones had been selected for this
very important work, yet the official
announcement was withheld until the
Governor had the acceptance OF the
others named upon the commission.
Mr.. Jones has been Comptroller
General for IA years. lie was State
Phosphate Commissioner before that.
and he had also been auditor OF Alb
beville county. He is regarded as
the best posted man in the State on
every year for a law to equalize the
assessment of taxes.
The new tax board takes the place
Of the State Board OF Equalization
and the State Board of Assessors
The tax commission has the authority
to review the assessments made by
the county boards and to alter these
in order to make the assessments
equal throughout the State.
w. G.. Query, appointed a member
of the board, is a member Of the Leg
islature from Spartanburg, and was
:csarded as one of the substantial
men of the Lower House, although
he had been serving but a short
time. He was Of great service on
the ways and means committee.
]. p. Derham was a member Of the
Constitutional Convention in 1895,
and was the immediate predecessor
of Mr.. Jones in. the office of Comp
troller General. He succeeded w. II.
Gllerbe when the latter became Gov.
ernor, and had had training In the
State tax office when Mr.. Ellerbe was
Comptroller General. Mr.. Derham
has served since that time on the
State Board Of Assessors and has
kept in close touch with the tax laws
and conditions in the State.
Carlton w. Sawyer has been in the
Office OF the Comptroller General for
several years and is regarded as a
most suitable man to be promoted.
He has been assigned to the duty Of
making settlements with counties
and he is quite familiar with all of
the details of the office.
In rendering his resignation as
Comptroller General, Mr.. Jones says
in his letter to the Governor:
81 shall endeavor to collaborate
with the other members Of the COM
mission in the accomplishment of the
reforms urged in your inaugural ad-
dress and endorsed by the General
Assembly. ! do not underestimate
the work necessary to achieve these
results. This year the work Of the
commission will be largely examining

Not only was the house total loss,
