Almost 70,000 students applied last year, and almost 80 percent of them are from out-of-state, @jdawsey1 says of @UofSC. wsj.com/politics/elections/i…

Watch as a WSJ reporter visits his college town—where the University of South Carolina is booming, but students are worried about their futures.

Josh Pate on the Braves:
Josh Brown@RhubarbBrownOct 7
The key to the Braves winnig tonight will come down to runs. If they can limit the Dodgers from scoring, while scoring more than them, they'll win Game 4 and force a Game 5.

.@SamAaronSC, Research Director for the South Carolina Policy Council, said the race for governor will determine the state’s future direction. “It’s very important to vote,” Aaron said. “This is going to determine the direction of the state going forward, and I would encourage everybody to refresh up on the candidates and figure out who aligns with what they support.”

General Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox and General Wade Hampton both would be good candidates for a movie biopic.

Name a famous American historical figure who needs a movie adaptation of their life. I'll start: Commodore Matthew Perry, the man who opened up Japan to the world.

Really great piece by my colleague @bconnors25. One of the worst constitutional offenses that so many are unaware of.
South Carolina Policy Council
@scpolicycouncilSep 22
Civil asset forfeiture law in South Carolina ensures you are guilty until proven innocent. Your Constitutional right to due process does not apply to civil asset forfeiture. Law enforcement agencies are incentivized to seize property, as they are awarded the majority of the proceeds. The property value of seized assets is often less than the cost of litigation, so victims of government theft often give up. Read more from our latest report ⬇️ scpolicycouncil.org/civil_as…
