The recommended allocations represent less than half of the $968,558 requested by 55 local organizations, municipalities and tourism bureaus. The funds are generated by the county’s tax on overnight lodging including hotels, motels, bed-and-breakfasts and short-term vacation rentals and are legally required to be spent on initiatives that drive tourism and overnight stays.

Flock cameras are a brand of license plate readers that utilizes artificial intelligence to track and store detailed data on vehicles. The cameras photograph passing vehicles and record information, including the make, model and color as well as details like bumper stickers and dents.

It is a practical move for parents familiar with the annual rite of costume costs and their short life.

That’s why on Sept. 6, 1934, that arrangement was ruptured with extraordinary violence when roughly 300 textile workers and other labor supporters gathered at Chiquola Mill amid the nationwide textile strike of 1934, hoping to halt production and press for arbitration. By the end of the confrontation, seven people had been killed at the mill, scores were injured and the event had become national news.

On Thursday, the U.S. General Services Administration added the G. Ross Anderson Jr. Federal Building and United States Courthouse, on McDuffie Street in downtown Anderson to its list of federal real estate available for disposition, initiating a process that could result in the property’s transfer, exchange or sale to another government entity or to the public.

The search has been to find the right fit in the real-estate puzzle to find a building large enough to house people, safe enough to meet code, close enough to the city’s jobs and services, and adaptable enough that the cost of converting it does not overwhelm the effort before it begins.

The one-weekend concert is a tribute to the music that emerged when country artists such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson and Johnny Cash began pushing against the polished constraints of the Nashville establishment.

On Oct. 14, at 11:30 a.m., the court will hear arguments in Tonya Winbush v. City of Anderson, Anderson Municipal Election Commission, its commissioners and Darryl Thompson. The case will determine whether Winbush’s apparent victory in the April 7 City Council election should be restored, whether a new election should be held, or whether the commission’s decision to invalidate the result will stand.

“We’re on a good run right now, for sure,” Dorn said.

Over the past decade and a half, more than 60 percent of South Carolina college graduates went to work in the Palmetto State in the year after receiving their diploma. But by year three, that drops 10 percentage points, and by year five less than half of those same graduates are still working in the state, according to a new study by the state’s employment agency.

South Carolina’s labor history is not primarily a story of unions winning broad and durable power, but one of repeatedly trying to build power in a state where employers, political leaders and much of the business culture have long opposed it.

The 17-minute drone show was a fitting and fun tribute to Anderson County’s bicentennial, lighting up the sky with nods to the towns and villages of the county and icons that represented each.

A cardholder can borrow a novel, trace a family tree, stream a film, prepare for the GED, SAT or Praxis, learn crochet, print a vinyl decal, check out a fishing pole or attend a lecture. During Hurricane Helene, the library also became a place to find air conditioning, electricity, internet access and help completing federal disaster-assistance paperwork.

The museum begins with the long history of agriculture in South Carolina, Cherokee cultivation, colonial farms, tobacco, cotton, corn, livestock, machinery, labor and the complicated systems by which people made a living from the ground. It ends, at least for now, with hydroponics, agricultural drones and the questions that arise when farming is conducted by fewer people on less land.

Nearby Balloon Hill is home to this year’s weekend of free events and fund raising. Starting today, this year features three days of hot-air balloons, fireworks, drones, music, food, vendors, livestock, a Scottish Highland cow, a color run, a motorcycle ride by U.S. Combat Veterans and, possibly, a pie-eating contest.

“The partnership between Anderson County and TTI/Ryobi has been constantly growing and beneficial to the citizens of Anderson County,” said Anderson County Administrator Rusty Burns. “This is another wonderful addition and we welcome Milwaukee to our community.

The Cancer Association of Anderson’s “Hot Air Affair: Rising Above Cancer” returns Friday through Sunday to the Anderson Civic Center Balloon Launch Field, for a free event which combines the pleasures of a balloon festival — flights, glows, tethered rides, food, music, vendors and spectacle — with the less visible but more consequential work of supporting local people living with cancer.

Piedmont is divided by the river in more than the cartographic sense. It made the community possible, powering the textile mills that turned a rural crossing into an influential industrial town. But the river also split Piedmont in two counties, leaving the community subject to two sets of governments, two tax bases, two sets of priorities and, often, two versions of what should happen next.
