young smokers kick the habit. However, the $198 million settlement proposal does not require to- bacco companies to pass; along the cost of the deal, the Times reported, citing lawyers familiar with the talks. And it leaves the timing of "any cigarette price hikes 'up to pro-i ducers. A final proposal isn't expected for at least 10 days. The settlement is intended to cover 46 states.

The industry has already agreed to pay $40 billion in settlements with the other four states Florida, Minnesota, Mississippi and Texas that filed lawsuits to cover smok-ing-related health costs. Reflecting the cost of the settlements, which will be disbursed over 25 years, the tobacco companies announced increases in wholesale prices of cigarettes amounting to about 25 cents a pack. However, the average retail price of a pack of cigarettes has remained at around Air cleanup would raise gasoline prices 53 percent WASHINGTON (AP) Full U.S. compliance with an international agreement reached last year to combat global warming could raise gasoline prices 53 percent and electric rates 86 percent higher than what they would otherwise be by the year 2010, the government says in a new study. The report by the federal Energy Information Administration also predicts the economic fallout from complying with the accords reached in Kyoto, Japan, could reduce the nation's gross national product by 4.1 percent by 2010 under a worst-case scenario.

By BOB SIMMONDS Index-Journal staff writer McCORMICK Third graders from McCormick and Abbeville spent a day on the farm thanks to the Clemson Extension Service and John de la Howe School. Farm-City Day was held Tuesday and Wednesday at The Barn at John de la Howe School. Students from McCormick Elementary, Long Cane Academy and de la Howe attended Tuesday! TWestwood Elementary, Long Cane Elementary and John C.

Calhoun Elementary schools attended Wednesday. John Folk, agriculture, teacher at de la Howe, said the event is designed to teach students about interactions between animals and humans and the environmental impact of that relationship. "A lot of rural children don't appreciate natural resources, and this program helps give them an appreciation they wouldn't have had at any other time," Folk said. About 200 students were on hand both days to learn about the wonders of farm life. Ninth and 10th graders from de la Howe helped instruct the third graders.

Also on hand to teach the students were representatives from the Clemson Extension Service, state Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Forest Service and volunteers from the community. The volunteers provided lunch for the students. Seven stations were set up across the property where students were instructed on farm life. The students also toured the woods behind the main building where they learned about trees and other ecological aspects of the woods.

The children were attentive 'as various aspects of animal life and the workings of the outdoors were explained to them! However, they preferred the hands-on activities to the lecture-style instruction, according to one of the event's coordinators! "They love td pet the animals and go into the woods to do studies on the leaves," said Verda Musier, 4-H coordinator. Teachers thought the students were learning some valuable lessons about animals and the responsibilities of taking care of them. "They are learning that you need to be smart to take care of animals and that they need a lot of care," said Heather Raney, Long Cane Elementary teacher.

The Democratic Party intends to support the ban. Attorneys for the RNC said the proposal, aimed at eliminating the large unregulated contributions that have been a major of controversy since the 1996 campaign, could also "severely burden" its ability to participate in state and local elections. "What is at stake is the ability of national party committees to raise nonfederal funds that are permissible under applicable state law to finance their state and local electoral activity," the RNC brief says.

But Joe, Sandler, attorney for the Democratic National Committee, said that "soft money has undermined public confidence in the political system to where a ban is an essential element of reform. The influence of soft money on political campaigns has been growing rapidly in recent years. In 1996, the parties set a record by raising $262 mil-' lion. 'v''' As of June 30 this year, Republican national, state and focal committees had raised $71.8 million in this category, 255 percent more than in the previous midterm election cycle. The Democrats receipts of $53 million represented a 70 percent increase.
