TOWN OF LYMAN, SOUTH CAROLINA -
Posted on February 01, 2005 Lyman grew up around plant Next time Mayor Bob Fogel looks out his town hall office, he'll have a very different view. That's because the cars driven by the 400 people working at Springs Industries will soon begin disappearing from the parking lot, as their jobs are phased out. Almost two months ago, the Fort Mill-based manufacturing company announced that it would begin shutting down operations today at its Lyman plant, cutting all but 40 jobs in the coming weeks. From now on, when Fogel looks out at the plant that started his town, he'll be reminded that they had to move on. And he'll be faced with the difficult emotions of helping his town do the same. "It's a difficult thing to accept," he said. "Lyman is the mill. The mill is Lyman." Lyman, which is about 4 square miles, wouldn't exist if not for the mill. Pacific Mills opened the facility in 1924 and named the mill village on the banks of the Middle Tyger River after the company's late pres ... [Read More]

South Carolina State Library - Publications: "So Good and Necessary a Work"
Home | DISCUS | SConnects @ the Library ... Since the 1950's there had been some discussion in Rock Hill and York County of the advantages of consolidating all library service in the county into a single library system. The advantages of the unified system were manifest in avoiding expensive duplication of staff, books and equipment and in the sharing of resources which would improve the availability of books and materials to all library patrons. In April of 1966 the library boards in York County began a serious discussion of the issue of consolidation. On May 4, 1966 all library boards in the country approved the legislation which was required to bring about the consolidation of the various libraries in the county into a single system. The bill was enacted and on August 9, 1966 the new county library board met for the first time. Norma Lightsey was elected the first librarian of the new system. The first step taken by the new board was to undertake a three-year demonstration of county library service in cooperation with the Sta ... [Read More]

George Washington
Discouraged by his defeat and angered by discrimination between British andcolonial officers in rank and pay, he resigned his commission near the end of1754. The next year, however, he volunteered to join British general EdwardBraddock's expedition against the French. When Braddock was ambushed by theFrench and their Indian allies on the Monongahela River, Washington, althoughseriously ill, tried to rally the Virginia troops. Whatever public criticismattended the debacle, Washington's own military reputation was enhanced, and in1755, at the age of 23, he was promoted to colonel and appointed commander inchief of the Virginia militia, with responsibility for defending the frontier.In 1758 he took an active part in Gen. John Forbes's successful campaignagainst Fort Duquesne. From his correspondence during these years, Washingtoncan be seen evolving from a brash, vain, and opinionated young officer,impatient with restraints and given to writing admonitory letters to hissuperiors, to a mat ...
