Rich educators
What an oxymoron. The phrase “rich educators” is almost as interesting as jumbo shrimp, little giants, exact estimates, and liquid gases. Most people know that educators do not enter the field to become rich.

Letter: Reader supports Holcomb
To the editor: I cannot stress enough the importance of voters re-electing Debra Holcomb as our Scotland County Register of Deeds. Debra’s knowledge of the office, her professionalism of handling the documents which are presented at the counter for recording, the process of service she and her staff give to the people who walk into that office, the laws being carried out that apply to this office, and the manner in which the office works ...
