The rise and fall of Jessamine Mall, now Sumter Mall in Sumter, SC, and what is left of its shops.

In May 1979, Jim Wilson & Associates announced a $12.5 million enclosed mall for a Broad Street site west of central Sumter, with Belk and JCPenney lined up as its anchors. The developers named it Jessamine Mall, after the yellow jessamine, the flower South Carolina had picked as its own. Downtown had tried its own kind of mall in the 1970s.

Cases of this drug-resistant disease climb in SC. Here's the best defense

South Carolina has recorded more cases of shigellosis, a drug-resistant disease spread through contaminated food, water or sexual contact, than at this point last year. Health officials say the numbers have been dropping since a July peak and there is no cause for alarm. FULL STORY: Sexually transmitted, drug-resistant disease reported in SC. Latest case counts Here are key takeaways: The South Carolina Public Health Department reported 165 shigellosis cases so far this year, up from 135 during the same period in 2025. Most patients were adult men ages 18 to 49. “Currently, there are no outbreaks or reasons for the public to have increased concern,” a health department spokesperson said. Cases peaked in July and have declined since. Shigella spreads through contaminated food or water, close contact or sexual activity. The CDC says swallowing even a small amount of the germs, which are found in feces, can make someone sick. Symptoms include diarrhea, stomach cramps and fever, typically starting a day or two after exposure and lasting about a week. A person can remain infectious for up to two more weeks after symptoms end. Nationally, shigellosis causes an estimated 450,000 infections a year, with about 242,000 resistant to antibiotics

Driver killed in four-vehicle crash on South Carolina road, cops say

A Lexington man recently was killed in a multi-vehicle crash that left another person hospitalized, according to South Carolina officials. Timothy Dwight Coursey, 66, is the driver who died in what Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher called an accident. The four-vehicle collision happened Friday at about 10:20 a.m., said Master Trooper William Bennett of the South Carolina Highway Patrol . Coursey was driving a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado north on North Lake Drive , along with a 2020 Ford utility truck and a 2026 Nissan Altima, according to Bennett. At an intersection in a part of Lexington County that’s close to Lake Murray, the Ford turned left onto Pilgrim Church Road, Bennett said. The Ford driver failed to yield the right of way to a 2017 Kia Sorrento that was driving south on North Lake Drive, according to officials. The Kia swerved to avoid the Ford but crashed head-on with the Chevy, Bennett said. The Chevy then collided with the Nissan, according to Bennett. Both Coursey, who was wearing a seatbelt, and the Kia driver were taken to an area hospital, where the 66-year-old Lexington resident died, Fisher said. Further information on the Kia driver’s condition was not available. Bennett said
