"Times of loss and sorrow must come to all who live, And how much we miss yon is hard or ns to say, Perhaps someday we will understand; Why you slipped away. Your place Is empty now.

CONSOLIDATED REPORT OF CONDITION OF THE BANK OF ELLOREE OF ELLOREE IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND DOMESTIC SUBSIDIARIES AT THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON DECEMBER 31, 1974.

Ralph Anderson, D-Flor-ence, Thursday called for the defeat of the five state Public Service Commissioners who are up for re-election this year. Anderson, a second-term lawmaker who has bucked the legislative leaders since his first day in the House, told The Associated Press the consumers must band together to get the incumbent commissioners out, and new ones in. The commissioners are elected by the General Assembly. Anderson said it was time that the legislature approve bills to require the public election of the Public Service Commission (PSC) members, and to create a special study committee to investigate the high cost of utility bills. The statement came shortly after the PSC approved a rate increase for Carolina Power and Light Co.

and gave a go-ahead for the utility to put a fuel adjustment charge on consumer bills. Anderson said the PSC ruling "is atrocious and villianous. The commission by this decision is financially annihilating the consumer. This rate case is a prime example of the complete and total abdication of the duty and responsibility of the PSC to serve the public." The Florence Democrat added, "The approval of these rate applications has brought havoc among the consumers. The magnitude of the increase in utility bills is despicable, outrageous, excessive and unreasonable." Anderson said he is considering taking legal action to question the constitutionality of the fuel adjustment charge, which is a clause stating that as the price of coal increases to utilities, the cost can be passed along to the consumer.

"This clause is the reason bills are going out of sight. Some electrical bills in the Florence area already have gone up by 100 per cent, and some members of our Florence County delegation are getting as many as 100 letters of protest every day," Anderson said. The legislator said the people of the nine South Carolina counties served by Carolina Power and Light "are up in arms and they are going to demand that something be done. These people have had it." The first is to oust the present commissioners, Anderson said, and the next step "is to let the people elect these commissioners the next time around." holds last AC line cord Come in with a qualifying deposit and walk out with your Bowmar "Brain" Portable Calculator or any of four other great bargains. the action bank' iddTNw in Moorer Cemetery at Pregnall.

Says (Continued From Page 1 B) that serve as examples for other states. "But there are things wrong in state government. These must be ferreted out, exposed and exorcized from the body politics. The day of simply shrugging off these wrongs, these inequities, these abuses, with the statement 'That's the way it has always been done' is over. Today we cannot be satisfied with the status quo," he said.

Eugene Stoddard, D-Laurens, was elected chairman of the House Education and Public Works Committee Thursday in the only real contest for coveted committee chairmanships. Also seeking the Education chairmanship was Rep. Samuel Fewell, D-York. The post became open because veteran Rep. Harold Breazeale of Pickens failed to win re-election.

Mrs. Juanita W. Goggins, D-York, the first black woman to serve in the legislature, was named by House Speaker Rex Carter to the Ways and Means Committee. Nine newcomers are on the 25-member panel but, with the exception of Mrs. Goggins, all were either in the House last year or have seen previous legislative service.

The important Ways and Means Committee post had been sought by Mrs. Goggins because "that's where the money is."

Julian LeaMond was reelected chairman of the committee, which will begin consideration of the general appropriations bill next week. Named vice chairmen of the committee were Reps.
