GREENVILLE — The man accused of planting pipe bombs at the Pickens County Courthouse and the Pickens Department of Social Services office last year has been declared unfit to stand trial.

NEW ORLEANS — In the end, there was no slowing down Joe Burrow and LSU’s prolific offense.
No. 1 LSU stormed back from an early 17-7 deficit on Monday night and proved to the college football world what it may have already known — that it was the best team in the nation this year — beating Clemson 42-25 to win the College Football Playoff National Championship Game and complete a perfect 15-0 season.

“MRR misrepresented to the County and the Pickens County Planning Commission the nature of its plan for the landfill facility and operation,” the ruling, issued Jan. 8, says.
The appellate court opinion sends the case back to the Administrative Law Court, which is bound by law to
