Entered as second class maii * matter at the post office at Page- . land, S. C., under Postal Act of March 3, 1879. June 7, 1916 THE PEOPLE WIN AGAIN The United States senate last week confirmed the nomination of Louis D. Rrandeis to fill the vacancy on the supreme court bench, and thus ended a very bitter fight. Pres ident Wilson nominated this bril liant Boston lawyer without consulting with Wall street, and for more than three months a determined effort was made to pre vent his confirmation by the senate, meanwhile the president stood firmly. Brandeis is not a corporation lawyer, and he refuses to become the tool of "big business." His confirmation brings new blood of the right kind into the supreme court of the land. He is the first Jew who ever sat on the supreme bench. Race prejudice had something to do with the fight against him, but the political prejudice had far more. The man's ability has not been questioned. His legal talent is acknowledged, and he ranks as one of the foremost lawyers of the country. His confirmation is a victory for Wilson, but a greater one for the American people. Savoyard, a splendid WashtnnrfAn wrntar Kno .iif.iv/u Hlllbl, 11(13 IUC IU11U>V1UJ{ to sav of the'investigation of the character of Brandeis: "The most searching investigation has been had and the life of Louis D. Brandeis is now an open book that all may lead, and any one of us who is not a fanatic or a jackass may sincerely congratulate him for an admirable character now lirmly and indelibly established. Not many men, Jew or Gentile, couiu emerge irom tne ordeal as triumphant as has Louis D. Brandeis. Everything was scrutinized, great and small. The ( most uncharitable suspicions 1 were advanced as charges, and all sorts of insinuations were made; but when an intelligent and unprejuced mind passes on them Brandeis stands acquit of everything dishonorable or disbreditable." i County Campaign Opens Au- i gust 8th The county Democratic executive committee met at Chester ! field Monday, appointed mana- 1 gers and enrollment committees, inu arranged tne dates for the county campaign as follows: < Brock's Mill, August 8th. !
