Recently, The State newspaper reported on a prehistoric archaeological site discovered by a member of the public while trespassing on property owned by SCE&G and leased to Riverbanks Zoo.
While this might have seemed unusual, it is something that happens all the time, albeit under the radar of the average citizen. What is unusual is that this time it became widely known throughout the Midlands and beyond due to postings to social media, and subsequently it caught the attention of Native American leaders across South Carolina.

I would like to thank the ladies at First Palmetto Bank.
I am unable to walk now and legally blind. I have to do my banking mostly by phone.
These ladies are an asset to the bank. They help me a lot, and I thank them all. May God bless the staff of First Palmetto. And God bless everyone else.

The midterm elections are approaching quickly. Election Day is Nov. 6.
Whatever your opinion is, the best way to influence the direction of civic life is to vote for officials who align as much as possible with your opinions.
In order to vote, you normally must be registered 30 days before the election. This year, because parts of the state are still recovering from Hurricane Florence, the registration deadline has been extended to Oct. 17.
