DECATUR PLEASED. AT SELECTION IF. SCRUGCS F0R POST.
Highway Commissioner Is Former Business Man Of
 Tennessee Valley
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD !

Disappointment at the failure of Gov. W. w. Brandon to name Ten nessee valley man on the state high way commission in the person of T. M Jones of Decatur was allayed when it became known through the Friday morning Age-Herald that a former Decatur man, J. II. Scruggs, Is to serve on the highway commission. Mr. Scruggs lived here a number of years ago. He attended school here and was in the coal business with his father, John Scruggs, for time before going to Birmingham, where he was associated with the we'll known hardware firm of Moore & Handley.-A sister of Mir. Scruggs, Mrs. George D. Williamson, lives here and has made her home here since girlhood. George D. William son stated Friday that intimate knowledge of Mir. Scruggs as a man and his skill as a building contrac- tor led him to believe the governor had made no mistake in appointing MT. Scruggs as member of the highway commission. John A. Rog- CTS, chairman of the commission, Is well known here through speeches he has made in Decatur from time to time.
