The rebound signals possible easing of recession fears and may influence Fed rate decisions next month. In Atlanta, Rev Billy Graham applauded the Southern Baptist Convention for apologizing for slavery and racism, delivering a short, solemn speech after a prior collapse.

Lawsuits May Shape New Ellenton 1996 Budget
New Ellenton Council approved a 773000 fiscal 1996 budget with hope of recouping up to 300000 lost on a failed 5 million sewer project. Mayor Hanna said lawsuits could conclude within six months to a year, with legal fees and related costs added to expenditures. The plan also funds employee health benefits, while property tax remains at 70 mills as home values fell 25 to 40 percent due to the sewer fiasco. Defendants include NationsBank, McNair law firm, G E Cantelou Jr., and Baird Co. accounting firm. A Michigan firm may join the suits.

Advocate Nears End Of Speed Limit Fight
D Gail Morrison of Greenville moves toward vindication if Congress ends the federal speed limit. A North Carolina trooper ticketed her in 1990, sparking a decade long drive that helped pass a bill to remove nationwide limits. Morrison, now a Washington lobbyist for motorists, pushed for states to set their own speeds. In South Carolina, officials consider raising rural limits to 75 mph as rural drivers push for faster roads. Morrison began as South Carolina coordinator for the National Motorists Association in 1992 and rose to Washington lobbyist roles.
