With some parts of the mammoth bill affecting certain insurance companies and not others, McCain says it's hard to come up with something that pleases many people. Felder agrees. The Calhoun County Democrat says he's had letters from large, small and independent insurance agents, all friends of his and all in disagreement over what is best. The self-described "country lawyer" says he'll have to rely on his own best judgement on this one. Unsure if either proposal can and trustees of the church.

Pallbearers will be deacons offer a fix, McCain says that he and two other lawmakers may introduce legislation that calls for a modified no-fault plan, such as Virginia has.

"You are responsible with your company for what happens to you. It's free market versus a heavily regulated market," he said. "We're talking about a 180-degree difference. We'd junk the system we've had since 1924." Calling that system "insurance welfare," McCain complains that losses are spread over everyone's policy. The system, he says, was designed to accommodate South Carolina, which has a recorded bad driving history and a per capita income that ranks 46 out of Pet corner Lots of news this week, so let's get at it, wade through it, and get to the adoptables, which are the main purpose of this column because who wants to see little dogs and cats miserably awaiting good homes? First, some of you already know we have sent out a newsletter for the first time.

Good results, too, with many people responding with contributions or paying your dues! and several people wrote notes saying they did not realize all we have been doing, and have accomplished. But even with the news letter 33 members (you know who you are!) have not yet paid their dues. Now is the time, etc. A special thanks to Mrs. V.

Deas Robinson. She shared her newsletter with several friends then came to the meeting last Tuesday night and presented us with contributions from those friends. And thank you, Mrs. Robinson! Other contributions were received from Sadie N. Allread of St.

Starrett, who faces sexual assault and kidnapping charges in three South Carolina counties, cannot get a fair trial because of intense publicity about the cases, his attorney says. Lexington attorney H.

Patterson McWhirter filed a motion this week in an effort to get Starrett's trials moved outside the Midlands and Lowcountry because of articles in Columbia and Charleston newspapers. McWhirter is one of several attorneys defending Starrett against multiple charges in several jurisdictions. The crimes and Starrett's capture were heavily publicized. The motion says that Starrett, of Martinez, "did not substantially contribute to this publicity," but stands to suffer in court because of it. "In addition to publicity which has been spread by the newspapers, the television stations and radio stations have carried extensive broadcasts regarding this case As a result of all of this publicity every aspect of the case and the defendant has been dispersed for public scrutiny," McWhirter said in the motion.

The request for a change of venue was filed at Lexington, where Starrett has been charged with three kidnappings the only charges that would be affected if a judge grants the motion to move Starrett's trial. Solicitor Donnie Myers said Saturday that Circuit Judge Julius H. Baggett would rule on the motion during the two-week term of court beginning Monday. Starrett also has been formally charged with a sexual assault in Richland County, and Charleston County authorities are holding warrants they haven't been able to serve, covering additional charges of criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping and burglary. dignant member of the Trial Lawyers Association questioned, "How does he think he's going to do that?" The answer in an aside by an obviously biased former lawmaker "Yell out that a school bus just overturned on Gervais Street." "Let's get the personalities out and deal with insurance reform," Felder said, who calls for genuine reform and not a panacea.

"It's a mega-bucks industry that impacts on all our lives." McCain and Felder both agree that automobile insurance reform is a non-partisan issue that all citizens want to see enacted. "I'm convinced the majority of the House membership don't view it as a partisan issue," McCain said. "The majority is trying to do something positive for our insurance laws." the 50 states. "To me the best way would be to give individuals a chance to control their own rates and premiums," McCain said. "Restoring competition is the best way to reward good drivers." With consideration of the cumbersome bill and Bailey's alternative proposal scheduled to resume next week section by section lawmakers feel confident a compromise can be reached.

Arguing that the significant point is not to get "glossed over in rhetoric," Felder denounces the namecalling from "wreckless people on both sides" that has clouded much of this issue. Sample: During Thursday's bitter and sometimes noisy debate, when the House Speaker threatened to clear the gallery unless order was restored, an in.
