Compare and Contrast: Two Recent Articles Published In My Hometown Newspaper
First entrant: "Whites now in the minority in Richland, Sumter counties." Columbia, SC is located in Richland County.
Second entrant: "The art of fine dining: It’s an experience, not just a meal, at new upscale restaurant." This article notes in pertinent part:
"It doesn’t hurt that Ruth’s Chris employees are rewarded well for good work and commitment. Servers typically work three- and four-table stations, four to five days a week, earning an hourly wage plus 18 percent to 20 percent of their sales per shift.
