Whereas, the members of the Senate of the State of South Carolina have learned with regret that Sam Wright of Lexington County is retiring as Head Bailiff for the Municipal Court of the Town of South Congaree after serving ten years as Head Bailiff and after serving twenty-eight years as a state constable; and

Whereas, "Mr. Sam" as he is affectionately known is widely respected by the citizens of South Congaree and Lexington County for his integrity, honesty, and fairness to all whatever the situation and his retirement will leave a void at the municipal court not easily filled; and

Whereas, the members of the Senate, by this resolution, would like to publicly recognize and thank Sam Wright for his service to his town, county, and State upon the occasion of his retirement and extend to him every best wish for a happy and enjoyable retirement. Now, therefore,
