During the autumn, brightly-colored tarps covering huge cotton bales are an important part of the scenery across the rural South. These bales, photographed by Linda W. Brown of Kingstree, S.C., are in eastern Clarendon County, S.C.
Clarendon County has 34,357 people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2012 population estimate. About half of the county’s residence are white; the other half are black.
