spending some week apparently In
deliberating . th , matter Governor
Morrison last Saturday named A. D.
Watts, of Statesville : for the newly
created, position of Commissioner of
Revenue.. This office was established
by the recent session' of the General
Assembly and has &a its job the col
lection of the State taxes which now
amount, to many millions of dollars.
It is regarded : as a ; very . important
position second hardly to that of the
Governorship iteelf.? Al'Jv Maxwell
who is a member of the Corporation
Commission was also a candidate for
the place and had strong backing for
it ' His friends claimed that on ac
count of his familiarity with and
long study Cx t& Jimttera that he was
the beat man in the State for the
place. .'.''.
r Mr. Watts Is regarded as a man of
considerable , ability but hi talent
have been exercised mainly along po
litical lines. He has been a life long
follower of Senator ., Simmon v as
Governor Morrison has also ) been.
Watt is considered on of th
smoothest politicians in th Stat and
thoroughly partisan Democrat It
is being said through the newspapers
and privately that Governor Morri
son hopes to succeed Senator Over
man some fine day and that Watt
will build him up a strong; machine
by the time it, becomes necessary to
use it .The News end Observer
strongly Democratic but sometimes
anti-Simmons criticises the Walts 'a j
pointment scathingly. It' used the
following language:

"Th appointment of A. D; Watt.
of redell, as Commissioner of Reve
nue, shocks the State. ' , There had
been gossip that his name was under
conslderstion, but it wss not believed
that Governor Morrison would seri
ously consider appointing to that im
portant' position a man whose only
calling is that of machine politician
and whose only equipment is that of
organizing and directing factional
political agencies.
"The News and Observer said yes
terday that the man who should be
appointed to this important position
should possess the following qualifi
cation: '
1. A thorough student of econom
ic questions, capable by study and
judicial temperament . to administer
the great office without fear and with
out favor, without even the suspicion
that he could be swsyed in bis judg
ment by personal, partisan or fac
tional considerations.
"2. A man ef such known upright
ness of character as to r.iake fry
tax-payer feel that he eoald aafely
trust him under any and all condi
tions. Clean living and sobriety and
uprightness are not on! necessary In
this official, but hie refutation must
