Fingered!

News reports stated recently that when a high profile public official recently visited a neighboring country and one only mildly friendly to his policies, he was heartened by the “warm” welcome stating that when onlookers waved to him, they used all five fingers. Of course this was meant to call attention to those whose lone digit was used when they wished to show their rejection even contempt for the VIP visitor.

Heirloom Coverlet With Dillon County Ties Donated To Museum

There was unaccustomed hubbub on September 1 at the Marion County Archives and History Center in downtown Marion. Four descendants of the Elvington and Goodyear families, early local settlers pre-dating 1800, were on hand with other interested parties to donate an antique, hand-woven, wool and flax blanket to the South Carolina State Museum in Columbia. Fritz Hamer, Ph.D., the museum’s Chief Curator of Cultural History, was in town to accept the gift.
