Two ministers in pension scam jailed in Chesterfield county
In United States District Court at Charleston two ministers Thompson and Williams were sentenced to prison for running a pension claim scheme. A third preacher, Rev. Shepherd, was indicted. Thompson pleaded guilty and drew one year plus a day. Williams also pled guilty and faced six months. The case exposed how pension frauds were plotted with deceitful signatures and forged documents, including a large backpayment and forged money orders, with one claimant moving to repay funds and a local depot involved. The investigation detailed how these preachers used claims to siphon federal pension payments and how informant testimony helped convict most participants.

The Government Lost Billions to Bugs and Waste
A prior long article argues pests cost the United States hundreds of millions annually in lost crops and storage, with figures for various pests like cotton bollworm and grain weevil. It notes farm exports remain robust despite these losses and mentions the South Carolina hospital deportation proposal and rising nonresident admissions. A Spartanburg dispatch reports Mrs. Lancaster died at her home just as a wedding began, delaying the ceremony. Two boys died from a beach accident on the New Hampshire coast, and a fire in a New York warehouse injures workers while a Navy runaway returns home after a long search.
