"Bing" Jones said a hog farmer filed an incident report alleging the dogs were on his land without permission and were allowed to roam in violation of the law. Fort Motte property owner Steve Pittman did not file a separate complaint, Jones said Tuesday, but made his statements to police in a single report which also includes statements from the dead dog's owner, Harry A. Ott Jr. of Belleville Road in Orangeburg. Two warrants have been issued in the case charging Pittman with killing an identifiable dog and malicious injury to personal property, said Calhoun County Magistrate Robert Lake, and Pittman has House OKs By The Associated Press COLUMBIA -The state House of Representatives on Tuesday endorsed a measure that would dissolve the beleaguered governing board of the Department of Social Services.

The resolution, sponsored by Rep. Jennings McAbee, would allow the Budget and Control Board to take over DSS. SRS Continued from Page 1B people, including Lt. Gov. Nick Theodore and three Democratic legislators, that cleanup could be done "in a way that actually increases employment opportunity rather than devastating employment." The senator told reporters that the closing of Savannah River is "inevitable," though he said he was unsure when the nuclear weapons production plant should close.

"I'm not going to make a promise one way or the other to keep (SRS) open or shut it down," Kerrey told reporters. "It seems to me that it's inevitable that our Department of Energy plants that have been modernizing our nuclear weapons over the years, that those are going to be massively reduced in size." Kerrey said it was "unlikely" that the country needs a new nuclear production reactor, which many South Carolina officials want to see located at SRS in Aiken. "I'm not 100 percent certain on that, but I'm 80 percent certain on that," he said. Kerrey also emphasized the environment, saying he wanted the federal government to take responsibility for regulating the transporting of waste. "The state of South Carolina will no longer be a dumping ground," Kerrey said.

Though many of the state's Democratic establishment support Clinton, Kerrey predict he would win the March 7th primary. He acknowledged that he was "somewhat behind." The text of the speech to the lawmakers had a couple of veiled swipes at Clinton, but he left those lines out when he delivered the address. Kerrey Continued from Page 1B But he said they might prove necessary to finance his ideas, which include road and bridge improvements and investment in fiber optics and other communications networks. Kerrey, in a conversation with a small group of reporters, spoke candidly about the weaknesses of his campaign ads and the trouble his campaign will face if he does poorly in the leadoff primary state of New Hampshire. He said a trade ad that shows him standing in an ice hockey rink promising a tough line against Japan was "very cold and impersonal."

McAbee said the current DSS board seems to be more interested in fighting than solving problems. The House resolution is expected to receive routine approval Wednesday After that, it heads to the state Senate. Gov. Carroll Campbell has already endorsed the measure. Kerrey told reporters he was "better than he have the ability to go head to head with George Bush on foreign policy." The campaign swing through South Carolina also included an early morning talk with Upstate textile workers Tuesday, emphasizing his support for Hollings' trade bill.

"We've got to invest in our people; we've got to stand up and fight for the American worker," Kerrey told a group of about 20 supporters in Greenville. Kerrey said Hollings' bill "sends the right message to the international community. "I've followed his guidance on trade and I've followed his guidance on textiles. And I believe he's dead right on what we need to do," Kerrey said. Hollings' bill calls for limits on the annual import growth of textiles and textile products to 1 percent and would place global quotas on clothing and other goods.

Also, the bill would give authority to the Secretary of Commerce to establish regulations to implement the quotas, and farmers would re-ceive a break by giving special textile quota treatment to countries that increase their U.S. agricultural purchases. During his stop in Greenville, Kerrey also emphasized his national health care plan. Under the plan, all Americans would be covered and costs of health care would be controlled and kept level with inflation. He pro poses funding it with a $230 billion increase in payroll, alcohol, tobacco and other taxes.

"Put the politicians on the line and make them accountable, that's my said. "I want the states running it (a national health care plan). You pay for it with taxes instead of premiums and the average family would save about $500 a year." said Kerrey, who was in high teens in New Hampshire polls when the ad aired and then fell. "Something happened and the numbers went down." Kerrey said he did not believe it was his TV ads that would dictate his chances in New Hampshire. "What is going to determine how I do in New Hampshire is my personal relationship with the voters," he said.

If he does poorly, Kerrey said, "nobody loves you when you're down and out and you run out of gas." Later, Kerrey and aides tried to offer a more positive outlook, saying their fund-raising was good, that Kerrey expected to do well in New Hampshire and that he was confident his campaign would continue "right up to the convention" and he ultimately would be the nominee..
