Tobacco Injunction Denied in Florence Case
U S District Judge Robert Chapman denied the South Carolina Tobacco Warehousemen’s Association request for an injunction opposing Earl Butz. The ruling blocks a plan requiring tobacco buyers to leave for North Carolina and Virginia after the case. Farmers argued they lost selling time and climate factors cause spoilage, while the court upheld the designation marketing system. South Carolina markets may sell about 31 million pounds this week, with 18 million pounds allotted for next week after grader reductions.

State Auditor William Putnam says merit pay raises for state employees and teachers remain frozen until revenue improves. A four percent across the board hike was approved, but merit raises hinge on a roughly three percent, about $31 million, revenue uptick. The next revenue report arrives in October after the fiscal year's first quarter ends on September 30.
