FLORENCE, S.C. â Outgoing Secretary/Chaplain Mitchell Kirby received a surprise at the end of Thursday morning s Florence County Council meeting.Â
 Council Chairman Willard Dorriety Jr. presented a resolution to Kirby to mark the completion of Kirby s 28 years representing Council District 4.Â
Kirby lost his bid for reelection in the June 9 Democratic primary to Kenneth McAllister. McAllister was defeated by Republican Jerry W. Yarborough Jr. in the 2020 general election. Yarborough will likely be sworn into office at the January organizational meeting of the county council.Â
