_______

A concurrent RESOLUTION

To request the Department of Transportation
name the intersection of United States Highway 321 and South Carolina Highway
322 in the City of Rock Hill in York County "Sheriff Joe Mitchell Intersection"
and erect appropriate signs or markers at this location containing these words.

W
hereas, born in
1938 during the Great Depression, Joe Mitchell worked for Sunrise Dairy before
he began his career in law enforcement; and

W
hereas, he
first was hired by Sheriff Grover Noe as a deputy on June 1, 1961. Over the
years, he rose through the ranks by becoming a lieutenant, and in May of 1982
he was promoted to captain. A few years later he became chief deputy for then
Sheriff Pope; and

W
hereas, Mitchell
tossed his hat into the ring for sheriff in 1988 when Pope decided not to seek
reelection. Losing the election to George Eaton, Mitchell retired as a chief
deputy in 1989. Mitchell challenged incumbent Sheriff Eaton in the 1992
election, which he won. He went on to serve the citizens of York County as
sheriff from January 5, 1993, to January 7, 1997; and

W
hereas, it is
only fitting and proper that Sheriff Joe Mitchell, a son of the Palmetto State
who dedicated his career to keeping the citizens of York County safe, is paid
tribute with an intersection in the City of Rock Hill 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 United States Highway 321
and South Carolina Highway 322 in the City of Rock Hill in York County "Sheriff
Joe Mitchell 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.
