County Officers Elections Get Tentative House Nod
The South Carolina House preliminarily backed a bill to elect sheriffs coroners clerks of court solicitors county treasurers and auditors. The plan would keep these offices elective while removing them from the constitution and would affect the 1960s advisory election process. The chamber also advanced a four year term bill for members and chose five representatives for the State Reorganization Commission.

Milk Price Hike Hearing Set by State Dairy Board
The State Dairy Commission will hold a Thursday hearing on a second proposed milk price hike in two months. Farmers seek a 3 to 4 cent per quart rise amid high feed costs, after a December increase to 32 cents. Columbia attorney Thomas Broadwater opposes the last rise and will oppose this one. The panel sets minimum farm, processor, and retail prices.
