WHEREAS, effective at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, August 25, 1998, I declared that a state of emergency existed in the state because Hurricane Bonnie represented a serious threat to the health, safety, and well-being of the residents of certain coastal areas; and

WHEREAS, conditions now exist which justify the lifting of the state of emergency declared in Executive Order 98-22.

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the power and authority vested in me as Governor, pursuant to the Constitution and Statutes of the State of South Carolina, I hereby order that the state of emergency as stated in Executive Order 98-22 is now lifted effective at 1:00 p.m. today.

GIVEN UNDER MY HAND AND THE GREAT SEAL OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, THIS 28TH DAY OF AUGUST, 1998

DAVID M. BEASLEY
GOVERNOR
