Thomas Britton White Jr.

For ninety years, seven months and ten days, Thomas Britton White, Jr. of Camden had a very good run. Sadly, it ended on Saturday, March 14, 2015 with Andy and Debbie by his side. After a courageous, decades-long battle with pigweed, he succumbed to a brief bout with lymphoma. He left us convinced that if that pesky weed is, in fact, present in Heaven, there will also be a herbicide that is 100% effective against it. Further, he did not expect to find squirrels there when he arrived last Saturday evening.

Editorial: GOP in SC

Though it's nearly a year until South Carolina's first-in-the-South presidential primary, Palmetto State voters are going to be barraged by candidates, and it all starts this week as Republican hopefuls begin flooding the state to build support for their White House bids.
