Workman recalls South Carolina home rule in past era
Clemson AP Workman, State editorial analyst, tells teachers at Taft seminar that local government in SC once operated under home rule but white leaders ended it around 85 years ago to curb black influence. He cites 1868 county commissioner plan, Tillman era power shift, and 1895 constitution excluding blacks. He also notes 1972 judicial reform and ongoing legislature debates. The talk is part of a two week seminar. The Antarctic ice sheet's melt could hypothetically sustain the Mississippi River flow for 50 000 years.

Valenti Seeks Court Ruling On Charleston Murder Convictions
The South Carolina Supreme Court is asked to overturn murder convictions of Richard Valenti, a Charleston man described as mentally ill. Valenti, a 31 year old sailor, was sentenced to two life terms for killing two teenage girls whose bodies were found buried at Folly Beach in 1974. He faces additional murder charges and awaits trial. Attorney Coming Ball Gibbes argued Valenti was insane and should have been found not guilty by reason of insanity.
