The defendants, Zella Major, 48 of Cades, Anthony Tisdale, 42 of Greeleyville, Marvin Lee Anderson, 53 of Kingstree and Jimmy Graham, 50 of Kingstree, were questioned the week prior to the arrests.

Sonnets And Poetry Most of the poetry I can remember is either by Edgar Guest, Ogden Nash or Robert Lewis Stevenson. Although my favorite is “The Shooting of Dan McGrew” by Robert Service. But Hal Carter, who works for the highway department, donated on his sonnets at Sonny Boy McKenzie’s. Since the poem contains nothing about booze, broads, Henry Kissinger, drugs, sharks or Jimmy Hoffa I decided to include it in this week’s column. The title of it is “What’s Happened To Times Gone By?” “Whatever happened to our streams that ran clean, and the ’36 Ford that was so mean? What’s happened to Carter’s Little Liver Pills and Berkeley ... 8/30/2010 http://www.kingstreenews.com/kingstreeSonnets-and-poetry2010-08-30T13-37-30 http://www.kingstreenews.com/kingstree/story/Diva-Dives-In You know you are in South Carolina in the Summer when... • The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground. • The trees are whistling for the dogs. • The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance. • Hot water now comes out of both taps. • You can make sun tea instantly. • You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron. • The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly. • You discover that in July & August it only takes two fingers to steer your car. • You discover you can get sunburned through your car window. • You actually burn your hand opening the car door. • You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 8 a.m. • Your biggest b ... 8/30/2010 http://www.kingstreenews.com/kingstreeDiva-Dives-In http://www.kingstreenews.com/kingstree/story/Upcomings-8-17 A.A.

The August 20, ribbon cutting took place at 501 N. Longstreet St. The Rev. Franklin Fulmore gave the invocation and manager Alvin L. Dimery welcomed attendants. The opening of the showroom is a continuance of the business that began in 1916 when William Peter Rogers opened his funeral home in Kingstree. During that time, the caskets were handmade by family members. Members of the family were also an active force in Williamsburg County politics during the Civil Rights era who helped pave the way for many of the African American elected officials who now make up the majority of county government.
