himself he listed his hobbies as tennis reading and travel and added I would have to put politics down as a How far he will pursue that hobby is uncertain he said don't normally go from mayor to something else That's not the standard pattern of promotion I see this as a stepping stone" Nevertheless he's hinted that he's anticipating the next moves on the political checkerboard If Greenville's Carroll Campbell now 4th District congressman should get elected governor or US senator then who's to say the district won't be looking for a congressman he said ing garages to accommodate office buildings to encourage growth and development city has tended to sit back and do a good job for whomever came forward but my view is that we have got to go out and seek industry and do things to make projects more salable folks living downtown is another push if we are going to have a vigorous downtown The downtown will never go back to what it was but got to get people living there got one young

legislators" As for why he wanted to be mayor Workman who started his career as a newspaper reporter said: been kicking around politics all my life and a lot easier to make speeches than to cover His first job after graduating from The Citadel in 1961 and two years in the Army was as a general assignments reporter for his hometown newspaper The News and Courier where his father started his career in 1936 The elder Workman retired in 1979 as editorial analyst for The State He and his wife Rhea a retired Columbia College professor live in Columbia The younger Workman moved to lion land sale for
