A concurrent RESOLUTION

To request the Department of Transportation name the
intersection of Lucknow Road and Johnson Pond Road in the Town of Bishopville
in Lee County "Cecil L. Stevens Intersection" and erect appropriate signs or
markers at this location containing these words.

W
hereas, for more than a
half century Cecil L. Stevens has served the citizens of Lee County as its
auditor, serving with humility, and taking pride in a job well done. First
elected in June 1974 as the youngest auditor in the State, he received a plaque
celebrating his fiftieth anniversary on July 10, 2024, making him the longest
serving elected government official in South Carolina; and

W
hereas, a popular and
charismatic elected official, Stevens has been dubbed "The Face of Lee County"
by a local newspaper. He has attended thousands of functions supporting local
breakfast and service clubs, political entities, and other social programs. An
ordained minister, he also has conducted hundreds of weddings and funerals for
Lee County citizens when called upon; and

W
hereas, in preparation
for his life's journey, Stevens attended the public schools of Lee County where
he won state honors in public speaking. He studied business law at Francis
Marion University and continued his education at the Lutheran Theological
Seminary. He has held most positions at his local church and is a member of the
Wesleyan Covenant Association; and

W
hereas, a true patriot,
Stevens served in the United States Army, the Army National Guard, and he is a
member of American Legion Post 29. A call for public service has led to his
affiliation with a number of boards and organizations. They include president
of the Lee County Chapter of the SC State Employees Association, the SC State
Employees Board of Directors, Lee County Historical Society, Lee County Arts
Council, president of Alive 75 Auditors and Treasurers, charter member of the SC
Association of Countywide Elected Executives, past chaplain of the SC
Association of Auditors, Treasurers and Tax Collectors, and a board member of
the Woodward Memorial Foundation of Lee County; and

W
hereas, Stevens served
as chairman of the Lee County Recreation Board, president of the Rotary Club, was
a board member of the Bishopville Lee Daycare Center, and vice chairman of the
Lee County Democratic Party. Other memberships include the Jaycees, Kiwanis and
Lions clubs, president and owner of the Lee County Observer, and owner and
operator of City Laundry and Dry Cleaners. His goodwill as a philanthropist has
created hope for many Lee County Citizens; and

W
hereas, with a life
rooted in public service to the citizens of Lee County as auditor for years
spanning more than a half century, it is only fitting and proper that Cecil L.
Stevens is recognized with a highway intersection named in his honor. Now, therefore,

B
e it resolved by the House
of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

T
hat the members of the
South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of
Transportation name the intersection of Lucknow Road and Johnson Pond Road in
the Town of Bishopville in Lee County "Cecil L. Stevens Intersection" and erect
appropriate signs or markers at this location containing these words.

B
e it further resolved that
a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
