...main highway which runs through the sleepy South Carolina town of Orangeburg are the weathered buildings of the state's Colored Normal, Industrial, Agricultural, and Mechanical College. They are old buildings, belonging for the most part to generations long past. An air of decay pervades the 50-acre, unkempt campus.

So were assorted ambulances and police cars...
Target In a Trailer. Hugo Sims, who is a lawyer, taught-and he learned. "I'm trying," he explained, "to work out a liberal program a Southerner can run on and get elected." To do it he had mortgaged his home in Orangeburg to buy the trailer, had sunk every cent into the campaign.
