Historical Roundups Recall Local and Global Events

An Aiken community calendar lists worship services, a museum exhibit opening, a polo fundraiser, a peace vigil and other activities. Historical reports recall a judge ordering the removal of a controversial cliffside cabin, a blind man surviving a six-story fall, and local election campaigning; another covers a library fundraiser, Highlands University homecoming events and a circus. Shaw Media’s anniversary retrospective revisits front pages from 1912 to 2003, including the Red Sox’ World Series victory, Apollo preparations and scientific and literary honors. A separate feature recounts Germany’s 1918 revolution, sparked by a sailors’ mutiny, which ended the monarchy and extended voting rights to women before political violence and turmoil followed.
