Leatherman, a second-term state senator from Florence County, would like to bring his business principles of efficiency and accountability to tackle a number of state issues. The challenge of creating jobs must be addressed for South Carolinians, combating crime and meeting the eldcrly's health care needs, he said.

The next governor should cultivate these opportunities to help all citizens, Lader said. "I look to a state still characterized by tradition and manners where there exists greater employment and cultural opportunities in a relatively unspoiled environment," Lader said during a telephone interview. Lader, the 39-year-old president of Winthrop College, said that he hopes to guide the state in this direction if elected.

Other candidates' campaigns contain "Madison Avenue sDen ding," Eppes said in an interview. Instead of spending so much on campaigns, the money could go to something useful, such as buying kidney machines for hospitals, he said. Eppes said he is trying not to spend more than he would make as governor, which is $80,000. Eppes said he has been traveling through the state trying to make his campaign a personal one. "I've been in all the counties, and I've seen things that need to be done," he said. Improving education and t - ^ rtnir i www " University o CAROLINA CASUS W( 1GXT1-N?

Eppes, a USC graduate, said he is familiar with the university. "I'm a supporter of the university system as well as other institutions of higher education in the state," he said. Asked about the increased drinking age, Eppes said, "If they're old enough to enter the (military) service, it's hard to stop them from drinking." Eppes said the possibility of losing federal highway funds forced the age increase. Eppes said he has more experience than his opponents.
