MANNING SENDS MESSAGE
ON LAURENS NIGHT SCHOOL

Columbia, January 28.-Special
Governor Manning to-day sent mes
sage to the Senate concerning the
work done at the night school at the
Laurens Cotton Mill. With the mes
sage the Governor transmitted two
score letters written by pupils of the
school, showing appreciation of the
work and indicating the beneficial re-
suits of the splendid effort. The
message reads as follows:
State of South Carolina, Execu-
tive Chamber, Columbia, January 28,
1916.
Gentlemen of the General Assem-
bly,: I have the honor to transmit
herewith exact copies of letters lori
ginals of which are filed in this Of
fce,) from night school pupils at
the Laurens Mill School. / ask
that you read these letters.
Money spent in providing educa-
tional facilities for our people is an
investment which will bring a rich
return in an educated citizenship.
The work that is being accomplished
in these night schools has already
proven it's value, and l commend 1t
to your favorable consideration.
Very respectfully,
Richard I. Manning, Governor

MANY SOUTHERNERS FEEL THE
PRESIDENT MADE MISTAKE IN
NOT NAMING TAFT.

Washington, January 28.-Special
To say that Congress and official
Washington generally were astonish-
ed at the nomination of Louis D.
Brandeis, of Boston, to succeed the
late Justice Lamar, of Georgia, as
Associate Justice of the United States
Supreme Court is putting it mildly.
Few favorable comments were heard.
While there have been very few re-
jections of nominations for the Su-
preme Court, it seems at this time
that 'she chances are heavily against
the confirmation of Mr.. Brandeis. He
is recognized everywhere as man
of remarkable ability, but he is re-
garded as radically Socialistic in his
convictions and as of all eminently
non-judicial temperament. Except
for his radicalism he would probably
have the best of the outlook for con-
firmation, but with this against him
he appears to have an uphill journey.
Many Southerners here feel that the
