Peep! Area Southern States farm supply store selling chicks

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? About four days ago, some 500 Georgia eggs became chickens by chipping their way out of their egg shells. Soon afterwards, they began a new ad- venture. By Friday, those “bitties” or “pullets” or “chicks,” were filling the back room of Southern States Palmetto Farm Supply with a chorus of peeps and the rattle of tiny feet on a screen floor. Five pallets of pullets were stacked one on top of another, waiting for their new owners as customers and curious children goggled at the young flock. RICK CARPENTER / THE SUMTER ITEM Two-day-old hens are feeding well at Southern States Palmetto Farm Supply on Broad Street. The store just received a shipment of 500 chicks and expects 1,600 more on Tuesday.

Acting on an anonymous tip Kershaw County Sher- iff’s Office investigators located the body of Adam Ray Davis, missing from Bethune since December, in a shallow grave in Lee County on Wednesday afternoon. According to a news release from the sheriff’s office, the search for Davis became a recovery operation over time. While searching the location in Lee County identified in the letter, investigators found a suspicious area in the woods where the body of Davis was supposed to have been buried. A cadaver dog was brought to the scene and a cursory search of the suspicious area revealed that a human body was buried there, states the release. Deputies from Kershaw and Lee counties sheriff’s offices cordoned off the area and remained overnight until a South Carolina Law Enforcement Division foren- sic unit team arrived to process the scene on Thursday morning. Throughout the day, SLED processed the scene and the body was identified as that of Davis. An autopsy was performed on Friday morning. Kershaw County Sheriff Jim Matthews said the case has become a murder investigation after reviewing the preliminary autopsy report. He did not share details of the report. Investigators are also trying to determine who wrote PHOTO PROVIDED the anonymous letter.

BY IVY MOORE [email protected] onsidered one of the greatest country singers by both critics and C fans, John Anderson will make his only South Carolina appearance in Sumter on Friday, March 17, at the Sumter County Opera House. His 7:30 p.m. performance will be an intimate acoustic concert of traditional style country music, reminiscent of legends such as Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings, with a small, but talented band backing him.

The winner of both American Country Music and Country Music Associa- tion awards, Anderson moved to Nashville in 1972 and supported himself by working construction during the day and playing honky tonks at night. After a few early hits, “I’m Just an Old Chunk of Coal (But I’m Gonna Be a Diamond Someday)” among them, he first achieved real fame with his 1982 album Wild and Blue, which introduced his big mainstream, cross- over hit, “Swingin.’” It won him a CMA Horizon Award the following year and is still played regularly on country and pop radio. This 2017 tour no doubt will celebrate the 35th anniversary of that break- through album. Anderson says on his website, www.johnander- son.com, that the anniversary marks a “monumental” time in his life and career and that he’s looking forward to celebrating. “I’m really excited about doing these acoustic shows,” he said. “It gives my fans an opportunity to experience a PHOTOS PROVIDED whole other side to Shane Owens, also a singer in the country music John Anderson tradition, will open for John Anderson at 7:30 they haven’t seen p.m. Friday.

Twenty of the singer-songwriter’s 60 singles have reached the Top 10, and among his other industry awards are the Acade- my of Country Music Lifetime Award and induction into the Nashville Song- writers Hall of Fame. He also has a great appreciation of his fans, Anderson said, calling them “the most loyal fans anybody has ever had, and I do indeed appreciate them supporting our music for all these years. ... At this point, it’s just for me and the fans.” Opening for Anderson on Friday night will be Alabama native and fellow traditional country singer Shane Owens. While he’s been making country music for almost 20 years, he’s still a new name to many mainstream music fans.
