Financial Sense
Piggy Banks
Have you ever had money that you wanted to deposit in the bank as savings and by the time you got to your bank a few days later you have spent the money. When you don’t have your savings direct deposited there is a strong chance that you may spend it. If you bank is not convenient and you don’t have your savings direct deposit try depositing the amount you want to save in a piggy bank located in a safe place. Purchase the piggy bank that does not allow you to open the bottom and take money out. Try and purchase the piggy bank that you must open with a hammer. If you have to open the bank with a hammer you will save more.

Letter to Editor:Racial Profiling in Walterboro
Dear Editor,
I have some very strong concerns and questions about things that are happening in Colleton County. On Saturday, July 24, 2010, after a long and extremely hot day of work, I went to pick up my grandchildren from their aunt’s home. It was 10:30 in the evening while sitting in a van, parked on private property, I saw a black expedition and five men dressed in black. There could have been one more, I didn’t see however. They jumped out with long black flashlights and their hands near their guns. Not knowing what was happening I told the young lady in the van with me to shut the door so whoever they were after would not jump in us. Read the rest of this entry »
