Willis R. Stoddard Passes In Laurens Farmers Urged To Laurens—Willis R. Stoddard, 67, employee of the Laurens County court Ityuse, died suddenly follow ing two days of illness at 9:20 p. m. Monday at the local hospital. Mx. Stoddard had made his home in Laurens for the past 16 years, and prior to that time had made his home at Owings. He was a na tive of Laurens County, a son of the late Robert Lee and Sallie Wil- ILs Stoddard, and was a member of New Harmony Presbyterian Church. Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Maude Hadden Stoddard; four sons, William R. Stoddard of Taylors; Carroll Stoddard of Fountain Inn; Paul Stoddard of Anderson; and Everett Stoddard of Spartanburg; three brothers, Louis Stoddard of Spartanburg; Lander B. and Jamie R. Stoddard, both of Owings; one sister, Mrs. Bessie Smith of Foun tain Inn; and five grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted Wednesday at 3:30 p. m. at New Harmony Presbyterian Church by the Rev. J. S. Jones and the Rev. Chalmers McCutchen Burial was in the church cemetery Juries returned verdicts for two awards last week in cases tried du ring a special term of civil court in Laurens. Court convened Monday and ad journed Thursday afternoon. Only the two cases were handled out of the 16 on the docket, all of which were appeals from condemnation awards by the State Highway De partment. J. B. Owings of Gray Court, was awarded $9,800 in proceedings coh- cerned with a right-of-way for the new Highway 276 from Greenville to a point near Clinton at its inter section with Interstate Highway 26 Owings had appealed from an award by the appraisal committee for 35 acres taken for the right of way plus damages to his 420-acre farm by placing the non-access highway through his estate. In the other case, William Cole man of Union, sought payment for damages to his farm in Jacks Township, Laurens County, for the removal of topsoil in building a secondary road. The jury returned a verdict for $840 in favor of the plaintiff, Coleman. Prices for the land and topsoil proposed to be paid by the apprai sal committee did not appear in court records. Thirteen of the cases were con tinued, and one was entered on the records as being “settled.” Presiding over the special term was Judge J. B. Pruitt of Ander son. Point System law Is Made Stronger The State Highway Department has started enforcing a recently enacted law which provides that any driver whose license is suspended or revoked for any reason must prove financial responsibility before he may again operate a motor vehicle, Chief Highway Commissioner Claude R. McMillan announced today. The law. whi^h became effective upon signature of the governor March 20, has the immediate effect of bringing point system suspen sions under the Safety Responsibil ity Act, along with other suspen sions (such as for drunk and reck less driving) already covered. It al so broadens the application of the Safety Responsibility Act to "apply in all casos where the Highway De partment suspends or revokes the driver s license of any person under lawful authority now or hereafter possessed by the department.” Heretofore the safety responsibil ity law was interpreted to exclude point system suspensions. ’ As amended the law applies t<J all suspensions, including license with drawals foi failure to pay county property taxi s ov motor vehicles, for use of a motrr vehicle for trans porting illegal whiskey, and for us ing a motor vehicle in the commis sion of a felony, to mention some of the many types of suspensions.
