The reasons are twofold: practicality and attractiveness. It has been found that shorter shags don't tangle as much as the longer shags, and they are easier to clean. Also, shorter shags provide the same beauty as the longer shag carpets, so attractiveness is not sacrificed.

Shag carpets provide that soft, fleecy background to any room, whether they be long or short. Come by today and see our selections of shags. For comfort and style shag carpeting can't be beat. South Carolinians mark holiday at racetrack, beaches OMANOISUNO SHOP In loving memory of D.H. MOYE.

Charleston area beaches and golf courses also were crowded, according to local officials. A children's fishing tournament was held at Charles Towne Landing.

He estimated between 300,000 and 315,000 visitors jammed the Grand Strand, a figure that "for Labor Day anymore is pretty good," Ward said. Labor Day marks the end of the busy summer season. "It By The Associated Press Thousands of South Carolinians celebrated the Labor Day holiday weekend at the racetrack, football games, the political stump, the shore, shopping malls and special festivals throughout the state. State tourism official Robert Liming said the exact numbers of people traveling on the highways this Labor Day weekend would be hard to estimate, but he says it wraps up a summer tourist season that has been one of the best in years. At Darlington International Speedway, an estimated 52,000 534-1170 About 200 local longshoremen celebrated Labor Day in Charleston with a parade.

Members of the International Lonshoremen's Association 1422 marched from the organization's old headquarters to their new headquarters on Morrison Drive. The coastal weather suited outdoor activity, but many visitors opted for bargain hunting. "To be honest with you I wouldn't have the foggiest idea" of a crowd estimate, said a floor manager at Waccamaw Pottery in Myrtle Beach. "Based on just eyeballing it, it's been pretty decent." The small community of Chapin added almost 8,000 visitors to its population Monday during the Chapin 01' Timey Labor Day festival.

Strom Thurmond, GOP state Sen. Norma Russell and her Republican challenger Joe Wilson. Artist: His cartoons span political spectrum Continued from Page 1B New Jersey, Ohio, Kentucky and Maryland.

Drawing comes easily to Rogers, he said, but having to produce six or more cartoons a week can be frustrating if the ideas do not come as easily as the drawing. 'Drawing is no problem, it's getting the idea that's really tough," he said. "I get my ideas from different sources, mostly from reading, although television helps some. "Depending on the newspaper, my cartoons can be very liberal or just the opposite," Rogers said. "When I'm drawing for the Reagan is the villain, since it is a liberal newspaper, and they'll run stuff on him.

On the other hand, the 'Cincinnati Post' is very pro-Reagan. Their entire chain never runs any cartoons when I do Reagan." Every Friday, Rogers said he has "mass mailings" of his cartoons to the six newspapers he free-lances for, and when one cartoons with the Afro for a year before The Leader said anything about me doing the free-lancing, and it was only after I drew a cartoon they didn't like," Rogers said. "It's funny though, when they told me to stop free-lancing they never admitted that the real reason they wanted me to stop was because of that particular cartoon." The artist continued to work for both papers, trudging through some pretty hot water at times, he said. As he became better known, Rogers began free-lancing for several newspapers and quit his job with "The Richmond News Leader." Now, Rogers free-lances for "The Afro-American" as well as several other large newspapers in Washington, MAIL MINDER of his cartoons runs in the Cincinnati paper, he really feels a sense of accomplishment. "If Cincinnati runs one of my cartoons that means I beat out a whole package of syndicated cartoons, and so I've really accomplished something," he said.

When Rogers was living in Richmond, his favorite political figure to draw was Mayor Roy West, and Reagan is his favorite national figure to draw. So far, he isn't free-lancing with any newspapers in South Carolina, but said that he is talking with a few people about the possibility. Among his accomplishments as an artist, Rogers was accepted into the National Association of Editorial Cartoonists, a very distinguished organization to which cartoonist Jeff MacNelly, creator of "Shoe" is a member. Rogers said that he would like to be in full-time "fierce" competition eventually, but for right now he is content free-lancing. What makes this young artist even better is the power behind him, his wife, Donna, who is head of "The State" newspaper's Orangeburg bureau and his best critic.
