Gooey, green-black mold in air vents and on furniture in a Columbia area magistrate’s office may have sent the judge and some staff members to the hospital over the past few years. A report obtained Monday by The State on the mold – which prompted Friday’s closure of the Dentsville magistrate’s offic e – cited “ongoing medical problems” with the staff of Magistrate Phil Newsom, noting some had “strokes, allergies, rashes,” and “several staff members have had to be carried out by ambulance.” That report, given to Richland County officials late last week, prompted the evacuation from the building at 2500 Decker Blvd. A county spokeswoman said Monday the magistrate’s office will move downtown temporarily, to the central magistrates’ court building on Huger Street.

Work at Government Shipyard of Conwayborough stopped when the steam-driven vessel Maggie burned up at a dock on the Waccamaw River during an early May night in 1897. The ship fire, which started around midnight, spread to some of the nearby warehouses as well as the shipyard. Reports from the time record the end of the Maggie, a Waccamaw Line ship that hauled cargo and passengers. Archaeologists at Coastal Carolina University can tell it was the end of the shipyard because the layering of the soil at a site near Kingston Presbyterian Church showed only fill material and then parking lot material above the layer of charred soil.
