Just when I thought it was safe to go outside.
I’ve got a friend that keeps up with everything. He watches about 4 hours of news every day. That’s good and bad. Lots of news shows are just opinions. Depending on what channel he is watching, the same news seems to come from different planets. Now he has been watching a lot of news about tariffs with trade from China and Mexico. Now he is worried about trade imbalance and what the cost of goods will be and whether Wal-Mart will have anything to sell. Most of the things that … Read the rest

When we were growing up, the word “desolate” would barely describe our community. We owned the only little store in our valley surrounded by vast farms resting between two mountain ranges. You never heard us saying we were bored! We made up games to play with whatever was going on around us.
If it got too late for us to take the cotton trailer to the gin, Dad would park it right out front of the store overnight for safety. The Williams kids would come down (lived 1/4 mile down the road from us) and we would stomp the cotton … Read the rest

Chapter Two: Turmoil and Travail- Part One
by JERRY ROBERTSON
Life in the colony was disrupted with the Revolutionary War. England now attempted to tax the colonist for debts incurred during the French and Indian wars. Many colonists objected because they were not represented in the English Parliament. Those supporting England were called Loyalists or Tories, those supporting independence were Patriots or Whigs.
South Carolinians supporting independence (Loyalists) joined Regiments to protect South Carolina. At Sullivan’s Island, the British were repulsed, so they then abandoned the South and concentrated their efforts in the north-east with New York as the base … Read the rest

Teams of various sports play their games at the newly renovated J.C. Britton Park on Raccoon Road. Baseball, softball, the newly organized Lady’s Kickball League and others call the park their home fields. Winning is important to most, but should never be the sole purpose of playing. For some, winning comes around on occasion. But for one league, it is a reality.
The 10u Girls All-Star Team recently competed at the district level in softball. The team played against three other teams and were able to defeat each one, securing the title of District Champions.
The team consists of twelve … Read the rest

I have passed the mark of being the Editor for The Manning Times for a few months now. I had no idea how much this job would teach me about our community, our neighbors, and how the very fact that Clarendon County is a living breathing entity in and of itself. There are many working parts of the system that make it thrive and prosper. Every person who lives here can make a difference in some way if they apply themselves. Just the physical act of picking up a piece of trash on the street and disposing of it properly … Read the rest

Program organizer and head coach Marty Lemon says to date this has been the most decorated tournament season yet.
“We aren’t like a lot of AAU programs that recruit from different places all over the region,” said Lemon. “We find … Read the rest
