Women's League
Studies County
Exploring the history of
government in Laurens Coun
ty, the Provisional League of
Women Voters initiated its
"JCnow Yolir County” study
in unit meetings last week.
The gatherings were held on
Thursday in the Clinton City
Hall and the Agricultural
Building in Laurens and were
planned by Co-Chairmen for
the County Survey by Mrs.
L. H. Savelkoul and Mrs.
Lewis Hay, assisted by Mrs.
Charles Gaines and Mrs.
Jack Pressau.
Considering first the back
ground of county government
in general, the study proceed
ed to the structure and func
tions of county government
in South Carolina and con
centrated on the governing of
our own county which was es
tablished in 1785 after being
settled by thirty Scotch-Irish
farmers and their families.
Made up of 8 townships, the
1960 census showed a popu
lation of 47,609, 7J.9 per cent
white and 29.1 per cent negro.
The county’s government is
administered from a court
house in Laurens which was
built in 1838 and remodeled
in 1911.
Using the volume entitled
‘‘South Carolina County In
formation Digest and Guide
to South Carolina County
Government,” published in
1963, the group learned that
Laurens County stands 14th
in population in the 46 coun
ties of the state, and 13.2 per
cent of~ those employed are
engaged in manufacturing.
With a total of 26 public
schools, Laurens County
ranks 13th in its teachers’
salaries, but 45th in its per
capita expenditure of schools.
