away, Kershaw County’s
Senator R. M. Kennedy, Jr.,
stated last week that he
was “opposed to any tax in
crease in South Carolina,
including the gas tax,’’ and
that he believed that if the
state’s government were op
erated efficiently there
would be no need for a tax
increase.

tion he intended to introduce in
the session set to convene on Jan.

would continue his fight for flood
f&rm-to-market roads for Kershaw
county, that he Would continue to
rush the building of the four
health centers, money for which

that he would request the aboli-,

in South Carolina to encourage a
