Pause. Stop. Rewind. The last movie rental store in Hampton County is ejecting.
Dock-7 at 916 Elm St. West, Hampton, quite possibly the last video rental joint in the county, is going out of business after 26 years.
"I want to thank the people of Hampton County for supporting me all these years and we hope to see Hampton County continue to grow," Dock-7 owner Arthur Williams said. "I have no regrets; I'm just a victim of changing technology. That happens in a lot of industries."

A series of public forums seeking input on the proposed Capital Projects Sales Tax Referendum wrapped up this week, and now it's on to the next step for the CPST Commission.
After an initial public forum in Estill, forums were held in Yemassee last Thursday and Hampton on Monday. Among the many suggestions for capital projects to be funded by the penny sales tax if approved in the November General Election referendum, three major needs are standing out: recreation, a new health department, and bigger and better libraries.
