Retired insurance adjuster launches personal property inventory business
EASLEY — When retirement is approaching, some look forward to a slower-paced lifestyle. Randy Bagwell chose to start a new business 
instead. He found the asset inventory industry was a very good fit for him and choosing to be a licensee of Nationwide Inventory Professionals made the transition much easier.
The retired senior claim service consultant traveled extensively during his 19 years as an Allstate National Catastrophe Team member and licensed insurance adjuster as he assisted policyholders after a loss. He learned the importance of having a thorough contents inventory while helping those who faced financial hardship due to insufficient insurance coverage or the inability to remember and

I’ve mentioned before about how most small towns have unusual characters who are disrespected and mocked as an embarrassment to the 
community. Like folklore legends, these outcast individuals are remembered for their strange behavior, while it’s hardly ever mentioned about who they really are. Recently the subject came up again about these odd men and women, and I thought that instead of just feeling sorry for them, I could learn a valuable lesson about treating

‘Infuriated’ over flag’s treatment
Dear Editor,
I just read an article in the Post and Courier Palmetto Politics dated Jan. 24 titled “Museum not seeking money for displaying last Confederate flag on Statehouse grounds” written by Seanna Adcox, which infuriated me to action, and I hope it motivates you to action as well.
The gist of the article is this: the Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum in Columbia is still not displaying the last Confederate flag that
