David was gins, Billy Hunter, and Allen Finley. the winner and Allen came in second. David, Allen, and Billy were three of Coggins Wins 4-H Tractor Driving Contest BY THAD REEVES Assistant County Agent The Laurens County4-H Trac tor Driving Contest was held Tuesday morning June 3, at the Fairgrounds. David Coggins of Mountville, who has won the con test for the last two years, was almost defeated by Allen Finley also of Mountville. David did win, however, and will represent Laurens County atClemson inthe state contest. There was several good dirvers from over the county that participated in the contest. The contestants are required to back a two-wheeled and a four- wheeled wagon in the contest. They also drive through an ob stacle course pulling the two- -vheel wagon. As anyone who has tried to back a four-wheeled wa gon can tell you, it is very diffi cult. When these boys have to back one into a shed with just six inches of room on each side it really separated the experienc ed drivers from the inexperienc ed. I certainly want to thank Lewis Power of J. Herman Power Co. and Tom Lumley of Laurens Im plement Co. for letting us use a tractor in the contest and for all their cooperation.

'Patrolman Of Year' James Gets Free Trip FRIPP ISLAND - Sergeant Charles Lee James, a native of Clinton, is taking a well earned rest this week, far from the high speed world of the South Caro lina Highway Patrolman of the Year. On 3,000-acre Fripp Is land, 17 miles from Beaufort, the patrolman and his family are en joying the Caribbean cuisine and the southern hospitality of the Carolina sea island. The free week-long vacation is but one of many awards present ed to the “Highway Patrolman of the Year’ by the South Carolina Petroleum Council. Sgt. James and his family are guests at the La Tai Inn. ‘I’m doing a lot of relaxing,’ said the 36-year-old James, who likes to be called ‘C. U’ by his friends. “This has been an un forgettable year for me and the family. I’m honored that the Petroleum Council has selected me as the first ‘South Carolina Highway Patrolman of the Year’ and I’m certainly trying to live up to the honor,* he said. Governor Robert E. McNair presented the award at the Pe troleum Council’s 16th annual convention in Columbia on Nov ember 13, 1968. The Petroleum Council is a public affairs or ganization for the oil industry in South Carolina and strongly sup ports highway safety. James was selected to receive the award by a panel of top-level state government, Highway De partment and Highway Patrol of ficials. He was picked from tte more than 100 men who patrol' Spartanburg, Greenville, Ander son, Pickens and Oconee comi ties, which compose Highway Pa trol District 3, the largest in the state. He won the award in com petition with more than 500 eli- I gible highway patrolmen in Sooth Carolina. The textile industry in South Carolina employs more than one of every two wage-earning women in the state, according to the S. C. Department of Labor. During the week the patrolman is driving a 1969 Ford LTD au tomobile, courtesy of Pulliam Motor Company, Columbia. James’ wife LoRee, his 17-year- old son and 13-year-old daugh ter Debbie are enjoying the va cation along with the “Highway Patrolman of the Year. ’ Dale is a rising senior at Easley High School, while Debbie will be an eighth grader at Easley Junior High School in the fall. James is a 12-year veteran with the South Carolina Highway Pa trol. He is stationed in Easley and was promoted to the rank of Sergeant effective June 9. Here on the most seaward of South Carolina’s sea islands, the patrolman exchanged his patrol car for a horse and toured the tropical island which was once the home of swashbuckling John Fripp, a British privateer three centuries ago.
