    “I’d like to speak out and say the state should put some stop signs on North Pearl Street at the Sutton Street intersection. That way the trucks from Tucker Lumber Company would be able to cross Pearl Street without being impeded by oncoming traffic, as they seem to disregard the stop sign anyway. Yesterday I was less than fifty feet from the intersection and a truck just rolled right on through and I had to slam on my brakes and then he looked at me like I was in the wrong and I should have stopped anyway because he was working. Thanks.”

  • Editorial - Are we going to the dogs?

    Going to the dogs. It’s an old cliche that basically means something is not as successful as it once was, that it’s failing. But here in Pageland that phrase has taken on a much more literal meaning over the past several weeks and months.

    “I want to speak out about the police and the sheriff deputies doing these roadblocks around here. I think they might be a good idea to a lot of people, but I think they use racial profiling when they make the arrests at these things. It just seems like it’s always African Americans whose cars get searched and are suspected of doing something wrong. If they’re going to do it, they should at least make it fair to everyone. Thank you.”

    “Why is a reception being held for the three candidates in the running for superintendent this week? What is the purpose? It is clearly obvious that we as a community do not have a say as to teachers, coaches or prinipals so we know we could never have a say in who the next superintendent is going to be. It’s such a waste of money, but we definitely need to see a change in our district. Hopefully the school board is next.”

    “I would like to know how far out of town and how fast that a city, county or state highway patrolman are allowed to chase a car. This is regarding an accident where someone was hit from behind due to a chase of a car out of town. This is ridiculous. They need a reasonable amount of speed that they need to go because this can hurt other people. It caused an accident. An innocent family was hurt.”

    “A child becomes an adult when he or she realizes that he or she has a right not only to be right, but also to be wrong.”

    “This is in response to Coach Mangum not having his contract renewed. I firmly believe that he will prosper wherever he goes and I also firmly believe that when a door closes God opens a window and wherever he goes I hope the best for him.”

    “It’s about Coach Joey Mangum. I think the people need to let the younger people in there and he has served his purpose and it’s time another person comes in there and tries to build up Central High and not go towards the public to keep your job. Thank you.”

    “I’m calling about the signs that say Shop Local. I called two air conditioning guys to come to my house and one never answered and the other one promised to come and never came. We can’t get haircuts on Saturday. There a lot of things that if you can’t go local and they want you to shop local. I now have to go out of town to find an air conditioning guy. We’re an elederly couple and I called two people. What am I supposed to do?”
