Resigning Magistrate Seeks Sheriff Race in Aiken County
Magistrate Raymond A Holley of Graniteville Vaucluse Warrenville and Eureka resigned effective last Monday to run for sheriff. He cited court rules and alleged abuses by the local sheriff and deputies as his motive. Sheriff Ralph Gunnells dismissed the accusations as political hogwash and a court chief praised Holley while arranging case handling. Holley and his secretary Darnell P Gay and Constable Calvin Hill also resigned to avoid campaigning interference. Both Holley and Gunnells are Democrats with others seeking the nomination.
