Cooperation between Laurens
County and the State of South
Carolina is helping to guarantee
the future of the significant Lau
rens County records. Because of
the age and extent of these do
cuments, Laurens was chosen as
the first county to benefit from
a new State program designed to
assist local officials with their
records. Only four of South Caro
lina’s 46 counties were formed
before 1785, the year in which
Laurens County was created.
With the permission of coun
ty officials and Representatives
Paul Culbertson and David S.
Taylor, eight staff members from
the County Records Division of
the South Carolina Department
of Archives and History have in
ventoried the records of each
county office to determine which
documents should be restored
and microfilmed. Since some
Laurens records date back before
1,800, many have been in use for
almost two hundred years.
Through restoration facilities of
the State Archives these fragile
papers are being given new life.
This Barrow lamination method
is the only restoration process
available in South Carolina which
is specifically designed to make
old documents last indefinitely
and South Carolina has one of the
few Archives in the nation with
such equipment. Selected 18th and
19th century Laurens wills,
deeds, maps, and court papers
are n"W t>eing repaired by the
Social Comedies
Slated At PC
The Alpha-Omega Players will
present two one-act social come
dies, “Another Night, A New
Day," by Eugene McKinney to
the Presbyterian O'llege student
assembly Thursday morning
('February 19).
The public is invited to this 10
a.m. presentation in Belk Audi
torium.
These fast paced dramatiza
tions strike a satirical blow a-
gainst ' ur contemporary society
and its fear of involvement, lack
of communication, inflated ego,
wasted time and petty vanities.
They were originally done on
ABC television's “Directions"
series, where they received nat
ional acclaim under the titles of
“People Who Live in Glass Pa
perweights Can't Throw Stones"
and “From Here On Inlt'sDown-
hill All the Way."
A former professor of drama
at Baylor University, McKinney’s
work has appeared in such no
table television shows as “Omni
bus” and “Wide Wide World.”
The main characters in "Ano
ther Night, A New Day" are Fran
ces Dalrymple, a wife who missed
iier calling<>f spinsterhood; Wally
Dalrymple, her husband who
needs and gets a daily dusting;
Fred the Fireman, a robust and
alive man, old enough to be the
father of three children but young
enough to enjoy being a fireman.

laboratory.
Of particular value to Laurens
is the State microfilming pro
gram. Two 35 millimeter roll
film cameras have been set up in
the courthouse so that records
may be filmed without removing
them from the County. Since the
first week in November, camera
operators Donald W. Jeffcoatand
Terry W. Tindal have photo
graphed nearly 100,000 pages of
Laurens records; the information
in several hundred volumes has
teen reduced to approximately
80 rollsofmicrofilm. These rolls
will be housed in the fireproof
Archives building under proper
conditions oftemperature and hu
midity as a safeguard against
loss of this valuable information.
Copies of this film will be re
turned to Laurens for reference
use.
All of these services have teen
administered in strict coopera
tion with County officials and
without charge by the Archives
staff under the direction of Char
les E. Lee. The County Records
Division is supervised by Julian
L. M,ms and C. Carlyle Steele.

partment of Labor began its

several years ago, textile and ap
parel plants in the state quali
fied for the honor 1,161 times
through June 30, 1968.

for each day of care of these
children.
