Actually, tbe 34-year-old hunter "found" the 50-member rescue team that had been hunting for him when the hunter arrived in the back of a pickup truck around 8:30 a.m.

Saturday. Sheriffs deputies, volunteer firemen and South Carolina Wildlife officers were awaiting a Wildlife Department search helicopter when the hunter, Charles Parnell of Wildwood Trailer Park, showed up in a pickup truck. Parnell had apparently emerged from tbe woods and bitched a ride with a couple in a pickup. Upon telling them he'd spent tbe night in tbe woods, the couple drove him to tbe search party, according to sheriffs reports. "The first thing be said was, 'Y'all looking for Sheriffs Capt Ricky Miles quoted Parnell as asking the volunteer firemen, wildlife officers and deputies who had been seeking him since around 9 pjn.

Friday. "We looked for him all night long," said Miles. "The man who picked him up said about 50 people were looking for him," said Emergency Preparedness Director Herbert Vaughn. "We kept checking to make sure be hadn't gone home. He looked like he was happy to be out," said Vaughn.

Parnell apparently became separated from a hunting companion around dusk Friday evening. Miles added. Miles said Parnell suffers from a back injury, which his extensive walking may have aggravated. Otherwise, Parnell appeared in good shape. The county has one or two lost hunters per year, Vaughn said.

Authorities advised hunters to become as familiar as possible with tbe areas tbey hunt and to carry compasses and flashlights especially when hunting in the late afternoon.

And lower-polluting natural gas has been produced at new record levels in each of the past eight years. Use of wind and solar power also is increasing dramatically. Production of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons has fallen 46 percent since the peak year in 1988.

Another positive trend is a worldwide decline in infant mortality. In 1955, the number of children per 1,000 births who died in their first year was 155 worldwide. In 1991, the figure was 63, the lowest level ever. The report credits increased access to immunizations for children, cleaner water supplies and increased education of women in maternal care.

Voters want change (Continued from page 1A) views of Bush's first term. Jan Cannon, who owns Monaview Family Ilairstyling near Green-Wile, voted for Bush in 1986. She probably will again, "although I don't know what will happen if we have another four years of what we've had." Worries about the economy run deep among these voters, whether they back Bush. Clinton or Ross Perot, the Texas billionaire. "I just find out lots and lots of people who have no confidence." said Parker Gibson, an antiques dealer who lives on a quiet shaded street in Camden.

"Tbey have money but they're just scared to spend Even voters who have jobs worry about the future. "Our work is there, but we're not keeping up with everything as far as the way things cost and the wages we make," said Phil Edwards, an electrician from rural Saluda. He wonders whether politicians listen. "I don't know whether they really represent people more than interest (groups)," he said. That kind of pessimism runs deep among many swing voters, who find themselves waiting for government to solve the problem, but doubting that any elected leader can do the job.

"I don't think that anything' been done," Sherri Wert, a Rock Hill hairdresser, said during lunch at a local shopping center.

didn I Yet Saturday, here be was Reverend and councilman Willie Neal Norman with more than 300 fellow Promised Landers, recounting how the school, its teachers, Donaldson and Betsy had influenced their lives. Tbe unspoken suggestion is that Betsy may have done a "strappingly" effective, job at propelling Norman into the ministry and others to successful lives. "I wasn't cruel, but I did mean business." Donaldson recalls. Looking back. Norman sees that firm discipline as a characteristic of tbe school.

"If tbey saw you tbe community doing some-dung wrong, tbey would discipline you." Norman said. That's a conclusion the school's first male teacher, John Jones, shares. "It was a relationship with tbe community and tbe school." said Jones. "We lost that community togetherness with integration." Former students and teachers spoke of bow tbe school had molded mem. made them and bow tbey took what they learned out into tbe world.

Tbey talked of bow this school produced such distinguisbed students with such high academic, ethical and moral standards chat a Lander College professor had to visit and find out why.
