Camden a victim of too much governing
I knew that Camden had become a "Nanny" town when it declared itself a smoke-free city. How nice. Why? As I move about the Nanny town, I have seen posters proudly announcing that Camden is now a smoke-free area (Nanny town).

Primaries
The S.C. Republican Party has withdrawn from a federal lawsuit that would close the GOP's primary only to members of the party.
