The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 to the previously filed
Schedule 13D is to report that the ownership of James Wiggins
(the "Reporting Person") in the Common Stock, $.05 par value (the
"Shares") of CEM Corporation (the "Issuer") has decreased from
5.1% to 3.5% of the Shares outstanding.  All capitalized terms
not defined herein have the definitions given them in the
original Schedule 13D.


Item 1.  Security and Issuer

         No change.

Item 2.  Identity and Background

         No change.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

         As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person is deemed to
         beneficially own 120,700 Shares of the Issuer.  All
         120,700 Shares are held by the Partnerships.  The Shares
         were purchased for an aggregate purchase price of
         $1,282,905.50.  The funds for the purchase of the Shares
         held in the Partnerships have come from each
         Partnership's own funds.  No leverage was used to
         purchase any Shares.
 
Item 4.  Purpose of Transactions

         No change.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of Issuer

         As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person is deemed to
         be the beneficial owner of 120,700 Shares.  Based on the
         Issuer's filing on Form 10-Q on May 6, 1998, as of April
         23, 1998 there were 3,445,327 Shares in the Issuer
         outstanding.  Therefore, the Reporting Person is deemed
         to beneficially own 3.5% of the outstanding Shares.  The
         Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote,
         direct the vote, dispose of or direct the disposition of
         all the Shares that he is deemed to beneficially own.
         The Reporting Person ceased to be deemed to be the
         beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding
         Shares on May 18, 1998.  All transactions in the Shares
         effected by the Reporting Person since sixty days prior
         to May 19, 1998 through the date of this filing were
         effected in open-market transactions and are set forth
         in Exhibit A hereto.
