The committee on House Invitations 
and Memorial Resolutions

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 
5410) to request the Department of Transportation name the intersection of 
United States Highway 321 and South Carolina Highway 322 in the City of McConnells 
in York County, etc., respectfully

Report:

That they have duly and carefully considered 
the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

DENNIS MOSS for Committee.

_______

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 McConnells in York County "Sheriff Joe Mitchell Intersection" and erect 
appropriate signs or markers at this location containing these words.

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

Whereas, 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

Whereas, 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

Whereas, 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 McConnells named in his honor. Now, 
therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That 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 McConnells in 
York County "Sheriff Joe Mitchell Intersection" and erect appropriate signs or 
markers at this location containing these words.

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