Dear Editor: I was sad to learn of the death or Dr. W.G. Watson who died on Wednesday, October 31, at 102 years old. I kept seeing him a couple of times as my doctor when he was 100.

Dear Editor: We are nearing Halloween 2012 and I thought I would tell some things that happened Halloween 1938 in Edgefield. The “Bad Boys” of the mill hill covered Mrs. Helen Nicholson’s front yard with “confetti.” My brother Joseph Wood and Maurice Gilchrist short wired the fire alarm and it blasted for hours. The stately […]

Dear Editor: What a shock to learn that the magistrate had only given Callie Abel a slap on the wrist for “running” a sickening, horrible puppy mill! She was forced to LEAVE Aiken County for having the same kind of operation so she just moved from one county to another. After the raid & hours of […]
Dear Editor: I, like so many fellow animal lovers, was very happy to learn of the “shut down” of the puppy mill located here in Edgefield County.
