[14] Col. James G. Gibbes had charge of the land department of South Carolina for ten years. He did good service in finding waste lands not returned for taxation, adding over 860,000 acres to the tax books, and thus saving the State large sums by getting taxes paid on this property; he retired from office in April, 1899, much praised for his work.
