Free will and the enemy within

John Trumbull understood the art of war. On June 17, 1775, Trumbull watched the black smoke

Bowers says thank you
Dear Editor,
I sincerely thank conservative voters of Six Mile, Norris, Central and Clemson for their support in the Republican primary.

Some movies that make you think
Dear Editor,

Dirty politics
William Henry Harrison, the ninth president of the United States, died 32 days after taking office in 1841.

Harrison became ill after delivering a long inaugural address in wet, freezing weather without wearing a hat, overcoat or
