Five people die in accidents in state By The Associated Press Five people died in July Fourth holiday weekend accidents across South Carolina, officials said Sunday. The death toll included four traffic fatalities and an Anderson County man who died in a mobile home fire. The body of Curtis Lee Carter 30, was found near the foot of his bed after a fire gutted his mobile early Saturday, according to county coroner Wilton Mackey. Mackey said the cause of death was probably smoke inhalation.

The cause of the blaze, which is believed to have started in the living room of the structure, had not been determined. A Conway man, Roger Hamilton 35, was killed Saturday night in a three-car crash on U.S. 701 in Conway. The Highway Patrol said the accident happened about 9:20 p.m. Two pedestrians died in weekend accidents as did a teen-age passenger in a car headed for the beach.

Nicole M. Powell, 16, of Hopkins died about 5:30 a.m. Saturday when the car in which she was riding hit a tree on a rural road in Richland County. The driver and another passenger were also injured in the accident, the patrol said. The three had apparently just left home on a trip to the beach when the accident occurred.

Wiley Washington, 37, of Aiken was killed when struck by a car on a secondary road in Aiken County about 1:44 a.m. Saturday. Another pedestrian, 39-yearold Edward Davis Jr. of Rains, also died after being hit by a car Saturday. Davis was hit about 12:05 a.m.

By The Associated Press ANDERSON, S.C. A twinengine Cessna aircraft believed to be transporting cocaine from Colombia, South America was chased into the Anderson County Airport early Saturday by a federal helicopter, officials said. Anderson County narcotics officer Sgt. Jim Callaham said the craft was seized by the FBI but its two occupants were released after questioning because no contraband was found. Authorities suspect the plane was carrying "a large amount of drugs" that were air-dropped during the chase.

But a search for suspected cargo Saturday turned up nothing. U.S. Customs officials had tracked the plane from a point near Cuba and later gave chase with a Citation jet, Callaham said. He added the Cessna was probably low on fuel by the time it reached Anderson, although the plane was equipped with five fuel tanks. Authorities wouldn't say where they thought the plane was headed, but Callaham said it was within a 100-mile radius of Anderson.

The plane was forced down by a Huey Cobra helicopter. The occupants started to run after landing, "but they were Legislators get honor from panel By The Associated Press SCHOOLS REUNION BLACK SCHOOL Elloree reunion (Above) Alumni, faculty, the First Schools Reunion in Elloree parents New sponsored York Friday and day. by others The Alumni through The event attended Greater Satur- was 1001'S ST Chapter Chapter and the of Local Elloree.

Mills awarded defense contract GREENVILLE, S.C., Cone Mills, Cannon Mills and a New York textile firm have been awarded a $3.5 million contract to provide the U.S. Defense Department more than 1.4 million yards of finished cloth, the department announced. Under the agreement, Cone's Union Bleachery in Greenville will finish, inspect and ship the cloth which is to be a water repellent poplin fabric suitable GREENVILLE, S.C. State Rep. Bob Sheheen, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Sen.

Hugh K. Leatherman, who has led the fight to reform the state's Medicaid program, have been selected Legislators. of the Year by The Greenville News. Sheheen and Leatherman were selected in voting by writers and editors of The Greenville News, The Associated Press and United Press International from a group of nominees selected by the panel. The award is given for "legislative excellence based on ability, integrity, responsibility, leadership and effectiveness during the legislative session." Sheheen, D-Kershaw, was honored for his work on reapportioning state House and congressional districts.

The House plan was largely his, and although it was at first rejected by the Justice Department, Sheheen successfully argued for removal of some of those objections. The 39-year-old lawmaker then worked to pass a new version acceptable to the department. In the congressional reapportionment debate between the House and Senate, Sheheen stuck to his arguments for a plan with a low variance between districts. Although the House-Senate deadlock couldn't be broken, a federal court imposed one of the plans that Sheheen had supported in the House. Leatherman, D-Florence, is the head of a subcommittee set up to reform the state's Medicaid system.

In citing the 51-year-old Leatherman, The Greenville News said "he has pursued the task with the singleness of purpose that otherwise might be unusual for a freshman. "Unafraid to take on the established powers, Leatherman has shown that, although he takes the floor infrequently and speaks quietly, his words carry far," the newspaper said. controllers for rainwear. Cone and Cannon which will weave the cloth were secondary bidders on the contract. The primary bidder was Sadler Textiles of New York.

COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS appeals in fall Compiled from wire reports COLUMBIA The 59 South Carolina air traffic controllers fired as a result of last summer's strike probably won't have their appeals heard until September, federal officials say. The federal Merit System Protection Board which reviews personnel actions taken against federal workers is short on money, according to R.J. Payne, the board's regional director in Atlanta. Because of the money crunch, the board's 11 regional offices can't afford to send out staffers to hear most appeals.

Because Congress has failed to pass an emergency spending bill providing funds for the board and other federal agencies, board employees go on half-time work schedules beginning Tuesday. Even when more money is approved, it's expected to be lean and staff cuts are possible, officials say. The news of the delay was not unexpected by the South Carolina controllers. "This is just another delay," said former controller John J. Carey Jr.

Some of the seats had been removed, but not all of them, leading officials to believe the plane was carrying cocaine rather than more bulky marijuana, he said. DHEC supervises 370 cleanups COLUMBIA The state Department of Health and Environmental Control says it supervised the cleanups of 250 oil spills and 120 hazardous material spills last year. More than 9 million gallons of liquids and 3,000 tons of solids were involved, DHEC says, but response teams and cooperating industries managed to control resulting potential hazards.
