Tommy Hartnett, the GOP candidates for governor and lieutenant governor, he will not take an active role in promoting their candidacies. Thurmond said he had duties in the Senate that required his time, and he was not inclined to become substantially involved in partisan political activities back home. "Carroll Campbell and Tommy Hartnett don't need Strom Thurmond or anybody else to help them," he said. Thurmond also said that it was in the best interest of the state for him to maintain a close working relationship with Hollings, and that would not be served if he appeared on the stump campaigning for McMaster. He said he and Hollings have maintained a good relationship by not becoming involved in efforts to unseat each other and that he had no plans to assist McMaster's campaign.

"I think for the best interest of the state, it would be better if I didn't take any active role in that race," he said. Thurmond rejected suggestions that the gubernatorial contest might pit his political prestige against that of Gov. Dick Riley, who already has said he plans to take an active role in support of Lt. Gov. Mike Daniel, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee.

Last December, its policy-making House of Delegates called for laws that would ban all advertising of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco, prohibit vending machine sales of such products, and bar sales of smokeless tobacco to minors. On June 9, seven House members introduced legislation to ban all forms of tobacco promotion, including newspaper and magazine ads, athletic sponsorships, billboards, posters and matchbook covers. The tobacco industry opposes the bill. A spokesman for the Tobacco Institute, Scott Stapf, called the House legislation "blatantly unconstitutional," a position shared by the American Civil Liberties Union.

The alcoholic beverage industry has for years agreed to voluntarily ban advertising of hard liquor on radio and television. Broadcast advertising of cigarettes has been banned by federal law since 1971. Thurmond also said during the luncheon meeting Wednesday that he does not plan to take an active role in campaigning for the Republican ticket in South Carolina this year. The veteran senator said he does not expect to play a role in support of Henry McMaster's campaign to unseat incumbent Democratic Sen. Ernest Hollings, and that aside from "a few appearances" on behalf of Rep.

Eskew said at the end of a news conference in Spartanburg last week, Daniel confirmed he would debate Campbell by the rules Campbell has set. "Daniel accepted the conditions and we are operating under the assumption that he accepted," Eskew said. He said the two camps have not contacted each other to work out any details about future debates. "We asked him to leave his three-by-five cards at the office and he said he would," Eskew said. "We sincerely hope and believe Mr.

Daniel will live up to these conditions." Asked about specific rules he'd like to see for the debate, Daniel said: "Carroll will have to leave his hairdresser in Washington." Daniel said the two will debate before the Nov. 4 general election. "I look forward to it," he said. "We will get together." But Eskew said if Daniel is not going to debate under Campbell's rules, he needs to tell citizens why. "We're looking forward to debating under those conditions," Eskew said.

"We appreciate the cooperation of everyone involved from public officials to volunteer firemen to other industries in the community," he said. "They all reacted with professionalism and it makes me proud as a resident of Greenwood to know we have this kind of professionalism in our community," he said. Grey Jennings, a spokesman for the Charleston chemical firm of Albright and Wilson, said Wednesday "the primary danger would be if you were exposed to high concentrations in an enclosed space." Jennings said "what we're doing is trying to determine what happened in each case." "At this point we have not had a chance to sit down with the people who responded to the first incident. So at this point, we don't know what has happened. But in a case like this, you certainly investigate very thoroughly," he said.

A 55 gallon drum in the tractor-trailer spilled phosphorus eox-ychloride, and crews finished cleaning up the spill Tuesday evening, according to the Virginia Office of Emergency Services-Only two people were hospitalized and nobody was seriously injured, hospital officials said. Stewart Miller, plant manager for Albright Wilson, said phosphorus oxychloride reacts violently with water to form hydrogen chloride and phosphoric acid. A reaction with moisture in the air would cause vapor to form, he said. Phosphorus oxychloride is used to make insecticides, pharmaceutical products, floor waxes, flame retardants and other items. Miller said.

Drums to hold the chemicals are used only once, he said, and he doubts the container was faulty.
