The road-user fee which frees other monies in the county's general fund budget initially earmarked far road maintenance is expected to be used to maintain roads in virtually every area of the county, except the city, officials have said. County council has refused to give any portion of the fee to the city, maintaining it would set a bad precedent and open the door for other municipalities to stake claims to the fee. County council, however, has been placing $2.16 from every $10 fee in escrow, pending the outcome of litigation. Hite said Tuesday that Mayor Joe Savitz may need to join the city's suit individually since, technically, "the chy is not a taxpayer and pays neither road-user fees nor county taxes. cost more than $200,000 to replace the 39'i -foot structure.

City officials have said state insurance should cover the cost, since the monument belongs to the United Daughters of the Confederacy, not the city. The state Division of Insurance Services, however, has maintained that tort liability does not apply, and that the city "accepted" the monument as property. In the second lawsuit: The city is requesting about $1.80 of every $10 road-user fee Abbeville County has received under an ordinance Abbeville County Council adopted June 30. County council, looking for additional revenue to balance its $3 million general fund that took effect July 1, imposed the fee on each of the 50,000 registered Iraq (Continued from page 1) Brent Scowcroft, the White House national security adviser, declared that the allies had met their objective and estimated they destroyed about half of the eight missile batteries they went after. "Any further military action will depend heavily on Saddam's behavior during this period," Scowcroft said.

The limited scope of Wednesday' raids was intended to show allied resolve, not to cripple vital targets all over Iraq as a fleet of allied warplanes did two years ago in the Gulf War. State-run Iraqi media said today that besides the 19 dead, IS were wounded in the air strike. State Baghdad newspapers pledged to fight "until victory." Saddam's military options are scant, however. The raid was President Bush's warning to bis Gulf War nemesis that though he has just six days left in office be will not tolerate further Iraqi violations of the U.N. cease-fire resolutions that ended the 1991 Gulf War.

Shortly after the attack, a characteristically vitriolic Saddam declared in a speech on Iraqi television that "another battle has started" and beseeched his countrymen to crush "the American aggressors." It appeared doubtful, however, that the Iraqi leader's actions would match rhetoric that recalled the bellicose speeches be delivered two years ago before a far more powerful U.S.-led force drove Iraqi occupiers from Kuwait. Saddam's air force is severely depleted and his armor, roughly halved in the war, is barely sufficient to suppress domestic unrest The Iraqis did not even activate radar to guide missiles against the attacking force in Wednesday night's raid. (Continued from page 1) is possible that either or both cases could be beard in Greenwood before summer. "Right now, we're hanging in the balance," be said. Hite said both cases remain in the "discovery phase," with lawyers for all parties requesting, gathering and exchanging pertinent information.

The first lawsuit stems from the city's Christmas tree catching fire Dec. 28, 1991, and damaging the 86-year-old Confederate War Monument beyond repair, officials have said. The granite structure was funded and dedicated by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1906 to memorialize some 300 Abbeville area soldiers who died during the Civil War, records indicate. Estimates have shown it will Filibusters (Continued from page 1) one vote to 27. "If you got several people together, the filibuster is still very much alive." Sen.

John Land, D-Manning, "The day of one person shutting down the Senate is over." South Carolina has a long history of people who can hold their own in the talking department. Sen. Strom Thurmond, holds the record in the U.S. Senate. In 1957, he talked for more than 24 hours to try to thwart the civil rights bill.

The all-time record in the state Senate goes to late Sen. Ralph Gasque, a Pee Dee Democrat who held lawmakers captive for more than 30 hours in the early 1970s. Sen. John Drummond, D-Ninety Six, who has been in the Legislature for 27 years, has seen his share of delay tactics. "I used to do it quite a lot," according to Drummond who said he once filibustered for 24 hours.

"But it's a new. day. The public wants us to get on with the business of the Legislature." Longtime senators recall a time in the 1960s during a weeklong filibuster when cots and blankets were brought so lawmakers could take a nap break. And Drummond said he remembers one senator who filibustered for hours and hours by discussing the history and background of each portrait hanging In the Senate chamber. "A filibuster is Just physically abusive to the members of the Senate.

It's just not a good experience to go through mentally and physically," Sen. Nikki Setzler, D-West Columbia, said laughing. Last session, Sen. Alex Ma-caulay, West Union, staged the only all-nighter in the last four years, speaking for 22 hours against a reapportionment plan. Marathon filibusters have been slowly going the way of Hula Hoops and lava lamps partly because of rules changes in the last decade.

In the old days, no one could even move to end a filibuster unless he had the floor. And when an opponent finally got the floor to make the motion, it took 29 votes to end the filibuster. In 1981, senators agreed to let any member make a motion to end filibusters after they went on for six days, but they raised the number of votes needed to 31. City Success (Continued front page 1) Highway Department ranked third in the House survey. But lawmakers approved no major changes for the department Rep.

John Tucker, D-Anderson, saw two reasons for the lack of action. Legislators may rank something as a priority but don't really focus on it Plus, "the tentacles of that agency reach over here," he said. The Highway Department controls millions of dollars that lawmakers want to build or repair roads in their districts. Ranking second in the House survey is changing the Department of Social Services. For the 1993 session that began Tuesday, 36 House members ranked this as a high priority.

DSS has been plagued with financial problems and under fire for what a government watchdog agency said was a failure to protect children in foster care. The DSS board fought constantly, so lawmakers last year abolished it and put the agency under the temporary control of the Budget and Control Board. The budget board, which handles many state government administrative functions, doesn't want to run DSS, which handles welfare, on a permanent basis. Other top issues receiving high rankings include help for students who aren't going to college, changing the control of state highway money, reforming automobile insurance premiums and controlling health care costs. Clinton (Continued from page 1) ficit reduction plan effective.

"It has to include entitlement programs," Alice Rivlin, Clinton's choice as deputy budget chief, said Wednesday. One thing Clinton now seems unlikely to pursue is his campaign promise of a middle-class tax cut With deficit projections now larger than those he cited in the campaign, Clinton said Wednesday, "I have to put everything back on the table." Rivlin and others say Clinton has not yet decided bow big his budget-cutting package will be or what will be in it But by conceding that cuts in Social Security, Medicare and other benefit programs are even under consideration, Clinton's aides took a step that most politicians have avoided for the past decade. The reason: Public opposition to Social Security 'changes is so fierce that many lawmakers call it the third rail of American politics. Touch it and the electoral consequences could be fatal. Big-money items potential targets for budget savings that have long been guarded by constituent groups with enormous voting power nave been around for years.

Some examples: Social Security is expected to cost $319 billion in fiscal 1994, which starts Oct 1, making it by far the biggest program in the entire budget But 40 million elderly people and injured workers collect monthly Social Security checks and older Americans are one of the country's most potent blocs of voters. ers said they received many phone calls in recent weeks from supporters of the Clem-son program urging them to override Campbell's veto. House Republican leader Howell Clyborne of Greenville said if Campbell had chosen to fight for the veto, the vote would have been close, with some GOP lawmakers bolting from Campbell. Another Republican lawmaker, who asked not to be identified, said Campbell would likely have lost the override fight Democrats control the House 73-to-50, with one independent Like the Senate, overriding a veto in the House needs approval from two-thirds of the members. A united GOP In the House would sustain any veto.

"If I had stood my ground and fought It, I think it would have been sustained," Campbell said. EDITH COATES LTTES Mrs. Edith Coates Lltes, 59. of Rt 1 Box 110, New Hon ja. c.i I it.

"I'm president until the 20th, and I will run foreign policy and make these kinds of decisions as long as I'm president," Bush told reporters hours after more than 110 U.S. and allied warplanes returned safely from their bombing mission over Iraq. Cheney said on CNN that be is not concerned by defiant statements from Saddam.

"We got bad information," Campbell told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. When Campbell issued his veto last June after lawmakers ended their session, he said he had done so at the behest of Superintendent of Education Barbara Nielsen and the head of the state technical college board, James Morris. Mrs.

Nielsen and Morris told Qampbell the program conflicted with the state vocational education program, the governor said in his veto message. Campbell said he decided Tuesday afternoon to ask lawmakers to override his veto. Earlier that day, he had talked with Republican legislators about the need for them to uphold all his vetoes.

The state budget cries out for major changes this year because slow economic growth gives lawmakers little new money to spend, Boan said.
