grandmother has since recovered.
The boy said he and his sister
decided to taint the 63-year-old
woman's tea because she tried to
embarrass them in public and
often said things about their dead
mother.
GOP wants bigger juries
The state Republican Party is
pushing for November passage of
a constitutional amendment that"
would require all people 18 and
older with driver's licenses to be
eligible for jury duty. The amendment
would do away with requirements
that jurors be
qualified electors and leave
qualifications up to the General
Assembly.
SAT scores rise 6 points
South Carolina's average scores
in the Scholastic Aptitude Test
still rank last among all states, but
the state's high school students
improved their scores while the
national average dropped, according
to the College Board.
South Carolina scores in
1987-88 rose six points over the
previous year, one of the highest
gains in the country.

"It will be tough, but I think we
