have his dedicated services. He
is not only especially talented in
the requirements of this assign
ment, but is a South Carolinian

The responsibility of the man
aging editor is the over-all man

Mr. Huntington, his military
service over, entered the Univer
sity of South Carolina in 1946 and
was graduated from its School of
Journalism in 1950
Until appointed managing edi
tor of The State his newspaper
experience had been on The Co

associated with The Record in
1950 as a sports, rpeorter, but
soon moved to positions in the

sition he held until given his new

Car Fished Oul 01
Lake After Plunging
Off Near Bridge
Greenwood — Athree-day
search by skin divers and a local
wrecking crew for a 1957 Ply
mouth which plunged Into the Sa
luda River on the Laurens County
side of Cothran’s Bridge Friday,
proved successful Monday eve
ning.
The Plymouth was driven by
Bruce Young, 21, of Greenwood,
who got out a window of the sub
merged car and swam to safety.
The Plymouth had traveled
about 250 yards underwater to
about the middle of the river be
fore it came to a stop, Bennie
Moore, head of Moore’s Wrecking
Service, which fished out the au
tomobile, said.
The wrecking crew with the
help of a crane, had the car al
most out of the water at 5:15
p. m., Monday, but the front
bumper broke away and let the
car fell back into the river again.
The car was successfully landed
about 4 :45 p. m.
Young, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Bruce Young of McGee Avenue,
Greenwood, escaped Injury. He
was taken to Self Memorial Hos
pital after he swam to shore, by
his wife, who was behind him in
another car. He was dismissed
from the hospital after a check
ing over. Bruce told highway pa
trolmen that the car left the road
and dived into the water when he
put on his brakes at the edge of
the bridge during a heavy rain
storm. ,
Skin divers who took part in
the search were Jimmy May and
Temple Lamar of Greenwood,
and Bill Gardner of Ninety-Six.
Investigating, the accident were
Highway Patrolmen P. R. Sisk
and C. W. Harrison of Laurens.
Moore said the search both by
dragging and skin divers had
been going on in the wrong loca
tion since no one expected the
car to have traveled so far on the
bottom of the river.
