==Desegregation controversy in 1970==
In mid-October 1970, A. C. Flora closed temporarily because of racial tensions. The situation became an issue in the 1970 gubernatorial general election between Republican then U.S. Representative Albert Watson of South Carolina's 2nd congressional district and his successful Democratic opponent, then Lieutenant Governor John C. West. Democrats claimed the tensions were related to two aides of Watson who snapped pictures at the school, but law enforcement officials found no link between the aides taking pictures and the racial unrest there. Watson used the occasion to call for improved student discipline: "Education without discipline is worse than no education at all." The A. C. Flora case led the ''Spartanburg Journal'' to urge the candidates to omit school desegregation, already a ''fait accompli'', from campaign discussion and to accent matters over which a governor would have more direct control once in office.〔Billy Hathorn, "The Changing Politics of Race: Congressman Albert William Watson and the South Carolina Republican Party, 1965-1970", ''South Carolina Historical Magazine'' Vol. 89 (October 1988), p. 234〕
