Nielsen: Lawsuits are 'harassment' By The Associated Press COLUMBIA Secretary of State Barbara Nielsen is driven by political motives, says an attorney representing a former employee in a $2 million lawsuit against Ms. Nielsen. But Ms. Nielsen has called the lawsuit and two others like it "political harassment and guerilla warfare" meant to prevent improvements at the agency.

Three former Education Department managers have filed lawsuits since January alleging they were stripped of their duties, given menial tasks or forced into retirement. Ms. Nielsen, a Republican, was elected in 1990 over former Superintendent Charlie Williams, a Democrat. Former finance chief Carl Gar-ris Jr. settled a lawsuit and grievance with the Education Department last month for $162,000.

His lawsuit and complaint alleged he was demoted for political revenge. Legrand Rouse II, a former department lawyer and lobbyist, charges in a lawsuit filed last month he was unfairly forced from his job and into retirement. The lawsuit seeks $3 million. Kent Phillips, a former deputy superintendent, filed the third lawsuit. He retired in July.

Ms. Nielsen called his lawsuit "a pathetic political response to a defeat at the polls." Phillips unsuccessfully ran for a seat on the Lexington District 5 school board. Phillips's attorney Lewis Cromer of Columbia said the remark showed the superintendent "thinks along political terms and certainly acts in political terms." But in a prepared statement, Ms. Nielsen called the lawsuits "complete nonsense." She predicted the remaining lawsuits would be thrown out of court. "I expect these political hostilities to continue because it costs little or nothing to file a frivolous lawsuit designed to generate sensational charges," Ms.

Nielsen said TAiesday. Ms. Nielsen predicted other former state employees also will file lawsuits. Eutawville; Eutawville Hill Holly Hi (D). Holly Hil (R) Orangeburg County polling pluctf lor both the Democratic and Republican prrHidcntial preference primnneii are liNted.

Controversy continues over land deal KINGSTREE. S.C. Some Williamsburg County school board members are uneasy with a land deal they made with state Sen. Yancy McGill.

In December. McGill bought 131 acres ot land tor $360,000 after a bank foreclosure sale. Two days later, the Kingstree Democrat made a tentative deal to sell 40 acres ot that tract to the Williamsburg County school board tor $400,000. The deal became final last week. "As a realtor, he made a Donald Trump deal," school board member Norman Gamble said.

"But I could have accepted it better if it weren't someone who represents us and should be concerned about us and our welfare. Taxpayers will have to foot the bill." But McGill, D-Kingstree. says he cannot apologue for doing his job. Tm in the real estate business. I can't apologize for being in the real estate business." McG.il said Tuesday.

Herb Silverman, a College of Charleston professor, has refused to sign the notary public oath because of the reference to God.

To become a notary in South Carolina, applicants must be approved by county delegations and sign an oath swearing to defend the state and U.S. constitutions. Members of the Charleston County legislative delegation have agreed to modify the oath by striking out the word "God" and replacing "affirm" for the word "swear." The delegation will forward SP-verman's petition to Secretary of State Jim Miles, who either will approve or reject the changes. Miles' office had not received the application Wednesday afternoon. "I can tell you this, the Secretary of State is not the Supreme Court.

We cannot change the law," spokesman Walter Whetsell said. "The Secretary of State does not have the power to change the wording of the state law or constitution." If Miles rejects it the state American Civil Liberties Union has said it will immediately file a lawsuit on S3-verman's behalf. Compiled from wire reports COLUMBIA A House subcommittee heard more than an hour of testimony Wednesday about a bill to establish penalties for people who block abortion clinics, but the panel didn't act because it didn't have a quorum. Rep.

The bill would prohibit people from intentionally trying to pre- CARD OF THANKS The family of the late ALGIE "NUTE" WALKER express sincere appreciation to relatives, Ebcnezer Church Family, and friends for their loyal support through prayers and all acts of sympathy extended during their bereavement.

It would be a misdemeanor violation and the maximum penalty for first offense would be 30 days in jail and a $500 fine. Nancy Raley, executive director of Planned Parenthood, said restrictions are needed to protect women entering the clinics.

She also said the blockades set up by Operation Rescue in Wichita last year cost more than $800,000 in law enforcement services and legal processing. "We want to prevent illegal activity," Ms. Raley said. Rep.
