Retired editor Linda W. Brown of Kingstree, S.C., snapped a photo of this old tobacco barn with a bushy roof along S.C. Highway 261 just outside Manning in Clarendon County. “It doesn’t show in the picture,” she writes, “but there is a fairly new fiberglass basketball goal right in front of the old tobacco barn. Changing times, changing lives.”
Clarendon County, split in half by Interstate 95, had almost 21 percent of residents living in poverty, according to the 2010 Census.
