After it cast a vision to build a conference center for training South Carolina Baptists through retreats and camps, the leadership of the South Carolina Baptist Convention (SCBC) asked churches to donate to the project.

Letters: An Appalling Spectacle
I just watched the appalling spectacle of last night’s council meeting. I noticed that Mr. Pauley mentioned that in protest he will not be taking his $1200 share of the Covid Relief funds that Mr. Bell has determined would be split equally among all county employees. I don’t know if any other employees have likewise […]
Letter: The Top Row Needs to Go!
This was one of the most awful videos I’ve viewed in a long time. This should show the citizens why voting is so important. All that money the county receiving and $1200 is being divided for everyone. That’s a crock. Those four on the top row need to be replaced immediately. I’m appalled at what’s […]

Used cars and building materials cost more. The average cost of goods and services has risen 5.3 percent during the past year […]
Letter: Please Protect Greenbrier
The Greenbrier community has been suffering for many years because Fairfield County refuses to enforce public health laws. I have attached my last two correspondences with my County representative only because it summarizes the issue and not to criticize the representative. The truth is I have attempted to get this issue addressed by many different […]
Letter: R2 Chair Not Qualified
Only one apology was needed tonight. That should have come from R2 board chair Teresa Holmes for not knowing how to conduct a meeting. The primary person who was wrong tonight and who was the direct cause of the early end of the meeting was Teresa Holmes. She couldn’t make the correct decision that Mrs. […]
Letter: Chiropractor Keroson Retires
Winnsboro Chiropractic will be closing on September 30, 2021. It has been my pleasure to serve our community for 38 years as a Chiropractor.
