Hearing Set on Jackson Election Case by Local Court
A 5:30 p.m. hearing before Circuit Court Judge Rodney A. Peeples will hear opposing arguments from a declaratory judgment action filed by newly elected Mayor A. Earlie Helms and six councilmen. The suit seeks to validate last month’s election nullified by the state attorney general who said incumbents serve until 1977 under state code.

The case names Brown, three councilmen, town clerk Thelma Barber, and election chairman Charles R. Powell. The hearing is at the Aiken County Courthouse.
