Whereas, Senator Stevens received his bachelor of legal letters degree from the University of South Carolina in 1952; and
Whereas, he and his wife Madeleine Zabelicky raised four children; and
Whereas, Senator Stevens was a faithful member of Loris Methodist Church where he taught the Men's Bible Class; and

Whereas, Senator Stevens was a distinguished member of the South Carolina General Assembly, having served in the Senate for twenty-one years;
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper for the members of the South Carolina General Assembly to have the South Carolina Highway 9 By-Pass in Horry County named in his honor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation name the South Carolina Highway 9 By-Pass in Horry County the "James P.
