Mr. Culbertson, 37, attorney of
Laurens since 1951, is a graduate

He is married to the former

His brother, C. B. Culbertson,
director of the South 'Carolina

mer member of the House from
Laurens cuonty (1948-50).
Upon making his announce
ment, Mr. Culbertson issued the
flolowing statement:
“It is my purpose to offer my

ed with the welfare of its people
This decision wsa prompted solely
by my desire to use such ability
as I possess to promote the pros-
periyt of our county. .
“I am convinced that our coun
ty and our state face a crisis
which has been unequaled since
the days of the Confederacy. Our
social and educational structure
is being challenged as never be
fore. If we are to preserve our
way of life, it is fundamental that
w* approach the complex prob
lems with which we are confront
ed calmly, resolutely and pray-
refully. If elected, I pledge my
efforts to that end.”
The Laurens county delegation
at a meeting Monday morning
acted on two matters brought be
fore the group.
It agreed to push through by!
Wednesday a $290,000 bond issue
bill passed in the Senate by Sen. |
Ralph T. Wilson last year and >
which has been hanging fire in|
the House this year; it also gave
the go ahead signal to a'street
improvement project in Clinton
which had been held up by a let
ter they had sent to the state
highway department. The repre
sentatives promised unanimously
to get the bond bill thurogh the
House by Wednesday of this
week.
County Treasurer Sam M. Lea-
man appeared before the delega
tion and said that unless the bond
issue bill was passed immediately
the county would not be able to
pay off salaries, wages and other
running expenses after kdarch 1. ,
He said that-two notes aggregat
ing $150,000 with interest were
coming due March 1 and that it
would take practically all the
money which the county has
available for such purposes to pay
it off. The bbnd issue, he point
ed out, was needed to teplace the
$150,000 which was due on the
notes so that the county could
continue to operate. “Unless I
can get the money I won’t have a
dime to pay anything,” he said.
Apparently unwilling to rush
the bill through. Representatives
King Dixon and C. L. Milam sug
gested several alternate solutions,
including renewing the notes in
full or in part, but Treasurer Lea-
man exhibited a letter from the
two banks holding them, one in
Laurens and one in Greenville,
which he said led him to believe
that they would expect payment
on the due date. (A banking au
thority said yesterday that under
the statutes tax anticipation notes
such as these are not subject to
renewal).
The treasurer said that when
the delegatino had pledged itself
to pass the bond issue last year,
it was on the strength of this
pledge that he had negotiated the
notes, and that the pledge was in
corporated with hte noets.
After a lengthy, and at times
caustic, discussion Sen. Wilson,
who was presiding without a vote,
brought the matter to a head.
“I have fulfilled my pledge by
passing the bill in the Senate.
That’s all I can do. All I am ask
ing you to do is to carry out our
pledge,” he said.
Rep. Wasson spoke up and sqid
he was ready to carry out
pledge.
After discussing further the'
wording of the motion to meet the
situation confronted by the treas
urer, the representatives agreed
by what Chairman Wilson an
nounced was a unanimous vote
that the bill would go through im
mediately. Rep. Dixon made the
motion and Rep. Milam gave, it a
second.
The bond issue bill is one that
took the place of another one
passed in the senate earlier last
vear which was declared unsal
able by bond attorneys after the
House had tacked on several
amendments.„>The money to be
derived from the bonds was to be
used for highway work, repairing
the court house and for all def
icits accrued or to accrue by July
1, 1955. The $150,000 notes were
negotiated to pay certain press
ing items which had been pro
vided for in the bond issue bill
Clinton Strwt Work
Mayor Hugh Eichelberger of
Clinton presented a Clinton street
problem. He said he was accom
panied by two other members of
the city council, James P. Sloan
and H. C. Layton.
Contemplated construction
work on Adair street leading to
the new high school and sidewalk
paving on other streets had been
held up and he was asking for re
lief so that the work could get
started in time for the school to
open, he said. It later developed
that the House delegation had
sent a letter some time in Febru
ary to the state highway depart
ment demanding that road con
struction of farm to market roads,
in which these streets had been
incorporated, be done by con
tract to the lowest bidder. This
letter, he said, held up an agree
ment made in January between
the highway . department and
Clinton city officials with the pa-
proval of Sen. Wilson to-have the

leave for Brazil about July 1.

work done by Gus Blakely, a
Clinton contractor, working
through the supervisor’s office.
Sen. Wilson explained his posi
tion in the transaction. He said
that on a telephone call from
Clinton he had goen to the high
way department in Columbia and
prevailed on the department to
approve the Clinton plan in view
of the fact that Suprevisor Blake
ly had told him ithat he did not
have the available time and
equipment to do the work. It
had been customary, he said, for
the supervisor to do such work
and the highway department to
reimburse him.
'Councilman Sloan said that ev
erything was going along fine un
til some “shenannigans" got start
ed by a contractor in Greenwood.
Rep. Dixon took exception to
the remark and said that the dele
gation had not been guilty of any
“shenannigans.” Sloan replied
that the delegation aided - wjt
abetted it by "signing that reso
lution.”
Rep. Robert C. Wasson said that
when he signed the letter he
didn’t know of anything going oil
in Clinton. Representaitves Dix
on and Milam said that they knew
nothing about Blakely doing the
work, but said they would go
alon&-
The discussion closed without a
motion but* with the general un
derstanding that the -delegation
agreed unanimously that Mr
Blakely could proceed with the
work.
Rep. Wasson confirmed aftc»
the meeting that the House dele
gation had withdrawn from the
Senate for revision the7bill they
had sent over providing for a vote
of the people on the question of
putting the schools of the county
under the Superintendent of Edu
cation. Mr. Wasson said he did
not have a copy, of the revisions
available for publication. He said
that he had sponsored the motion
to withdraw it and tha tthe other
two members had agreed. Mr
Milam, he said, agreed on condit-'

The trial of two young white
men on four indictments, each
charging housebreaking and lar
ceny and receiving stolen goods,
consumed most of the afternoon.
The men, Marvin Godfrey and
James W. Ridings of Spartanburg
county, pleaded not guilty on all
counts and they stood trial witlf-
out an attorney, with Godfrey act
ing as spokesman for the pair
A third man, Paul.-{jodfrey, also
named in the indictments, is in
the state hospital and was not
tried at this term of court.
The jury, after brief delibera
tion, returned a verdict of guilty
on all four counts of housebreak
ing and larceny.
Judge Johnson sentenced the
youths as follows, housebreaking
and larceny, one year, suspended
after service of four'‘months and
probation for five years; house
breaking and larceny, 18 months,
suspended after service of seven
months, and probation for five
years; breaking and entering and

ed after service of 10 months, and
probation for five years; breaking
into the church and grand lar
ceny, 30 months, suspended after
service of 30 months, and proba
tion for five years.
The judge specified that the
sentences were to run consecu
tively, not concurrently, and this
means that the two young men
must serve a total of 34 months.
A case involving three other
young white men which began

jury found the two defendants
guilty. The third youth had

“Automobile drivers in South

Bailey, of the public relations de

highway department Monday night
in addressing the Exchange club.
“A better attitude toward driv
ing,” he said, ’would decreese ac
cidents seven per cent.”
Sgt. Bailey gave several pointer*
that'will promote better driving:
obeerve stop signs, don’t weave
from side to side of the road, ketp
eyes on the road, don’t drive too
close to car in front.
I “While driving at 46 miles an
hour, it will take you 140 to 160
feet to stop; 70 miles an hour
speed will require 360 feet to
stop.”
Last year 143 more people were

than in 1954, he said.
