Business in the retail stores waa
business oi liie enure week was
uJdo as brink us could be, and the
business of liie enure week was
satislactory beyond all expecla
lions. Jl is sale lo say that the
business interests of Aukuhiu re
ceived substantial benetllii in all
lines by reason of the attractions
which brought the crowd.
The grand parade was tne
crowning event of the week, and
won the unstinted praise of all
who witnessed it. Some of its
leading features were especially
noteworthy and Impressive, which
found expression In displays of
beauty and significance. The mus
ic furnished on the occasion was
excellent and had It been foreseen
that the pageant was to have been
so great In length and the crowd
of visitors so enormous, another
first class hand would not have
been amiss. However, If our fore
sights were equal to our hind
sights,, perfection In all things
would he easy and there would
he no such thing as disparity. Tha
fact remains that the pageunt was
a triumph of art and skill and sets
a new high record fur civic dis
plays of lids character.
Many floats there were of sur
passing beauty and ingenuity.
Home were of really artistic merit,
and gave evidence of deep study
forethought. Miss Katie mack's
float for example, which won first
prize. was symbolic of ihc union
of the I'rlde of India and Ameri
can Beauty Its construction con
sisted of a bower of heavy masses
of china blossoms with sparse
sprinkling of American Beauty
Hoses. The Mary Warren Home
float, representing the King's
I laughters seated beneath a trellis
of wistaria, claimed universal ad
miration. The Southern Itallroad's
representation of the locomotive
1316. was the most realistic anil
Imposing In the procession, indi
cating uii to date progress tn all
respects. A striking scene was
that presented by the Booster
dub of a southern farm house
with a farmer on the piazza with
his plow and gear, horse, sheep
and goals browsing around It
was quite suggestive of hog and
hominy, and prosperity in the
land.
The Richmond Academy turnout
was very fine. The military display
was excellent, the boys marching
with the precision of regulars. The
other di iKirtineuts were also well
represented, the base hall club, the
foot hall team, the demonstration
work of tlie technological school,
anil the rest. That was a rather
startling hut nevertheless Interest
ing study In biology on their float,
hut true to lift All of which is a
fine demonstration of the good
work that thia noble Institution Is
accomplishing for this community
as well as the slate. These boys
»re the stuff that real men are
made of and they are now, showing
the men in the making Every boy
that s gol any germ in him wants
to go there und get sha|M>d up and
learn as much as his companions
are learning, so as to keejt up with
the procession through life
Hut the pleee de resistance was
the display of the Tubman High
School. Oh, those beautiful girls,
robed In pure while, with hair In
n Psyche knot. They looked like
» ' many vestal virgins, and aa they
went on that long inarch in files
of fours I wry one seemed an fresh
as a daisy kissed by the morning
dew! A handsome float drawn
by four beautiful white horses,
with Miss Elizabeth Allen, Queen
of the May. completed the picture.
It created a great sensation and
drew from the Immense concourse
of people the moat enthusiastic
plaudltts
The Tubman girls were so un
fortunate as lo lose their school
house In the recent great fire and
they are now watfs. having no
place to call their own. Hut they
showed they had the right spirit
keeping together and looking
cheerful under difficulties It is
to be hoped that no unnecessary
time will be lost In providing them

THE BITTER FIGHT ON BRANDEIS.
The entire legal profession is on trial before the people
of this republic in the fight of special privilege against the
confirmation of Louis Brandeis as justice of the United
States supreme court.
The charges against Brandeis are not that he has be
trayed humanity by selling his services to the highest bid
der, or that he has committed any crime against the law
or society.
The real reason for the bitter opposition to his ap
pears to he shat he was an honest MAN as well as a good
lawyer, and that in the practice of his profession he never
forgot hi dul; to justice and to humanity.
It is humiliating to be forced even to mention, as an
other reason for th«- hostility to him, the fact that he is a
Jew.
Because of their peculiar education lawyers are
among the best fitted for public service. Yet it seldom
happens that they are good citizens in the sense that they
employ their talent for the public good. There are hon
orable exceptions to this rule, but they are. few. Lawyers
know it themselves. And the reason is that the biggest
fees come from the big business interests that thrive on ex
ploitation of the public.
Louis Brandeis is admittedly one of the country’s
great lawyers. He is singular, and apart from his class,
because he has a sense of obligation to society and has
refused to sell his talent to the highest bidder when it ap
peared to him that he must betray society to earn the fee.
Some of the selfish men in his profession have doubt
less resentbd the unselfishness of Brandeis in repeatedly
giving Ihe public his legal service without compensation.
Some lawyers who are for sale to the highest bidder,
even though hired to make the law outwit justice, have the
same hatred for Brandeis that a prostitute has for a pure
woman.
But the hatred of Brandeis is even more bitter in the
craven hearts of the exploiters who prostitute the lagal
profession by hiring the ablest lawyers to twist the law
anti trick justice lor the furtherance of their own ends.
They can’t forgive the lawyer who refuses to sell his
soul for cold cash, and they don’t want that kind of a law
yer on the bench of the supreme court, where finally is
determined what is law.
But the people of this republic DO need just such law
yers and men as Brandeis in their court of last resort, and
now is the time for them to make as forcible as they can
the demand that their servants in the senate turn their
backs on the hired tools of special privileges and confirm
the appointment of Louis Brandeis.
STRAIGHTFORWARD AND IN THE OPEN.
The Augusta Ice & Beverage Co. in a series of adver
tisements, has called attention to a new beverage that it is
putting upon the market in strict conformity with the pro
hibition law, and has publicly called upon the officials to
test in every way their statements as to the new soft
drink. There is nothing remarkable about this perhaps,
save that it indicates clearly that this big Augusta concern
which was formerly a brewery, has amended its charter,
and gone as strenuously into the ice and soft drink and
beverage business, as formerly it was in the brewing bus
iness, with a trade that covered several states.
Fortunes have been made in the soft drink business as
well as in the brewing business, and The Herald hopes
this Augusta concern, the Augusta Ice & Beverage Co., has
picked a winner in its new drink, and will meet with suc
cess. What Coca Cola, Chero Cola, Bludwine and other
soft drinks are doing, can be done with other meritorious
beverages when they are made popular and a wide distri
bution secured for them. “Brannew” seems to have a
winning sound about it.
CONFEDERATE VETERANS IN REVOLT.
There was a movement on foot to make the Birming
ham reunion of the United Confederate Veterans the last
of these annual gatherings. However, these gray heroes
rose in a mighty protest and completely routed the enemy.
The insinuation that they have passed the point where
they are in the slightest incapacitated to engage in the
strenuous features connected with these gatherings is re
jected with scorn.
What more convincing evidence could be given than
the incident when two youthful and enthusiastic young
women of seventy years tripped the light fantastic toe with
two supple veterans of the Lost Cause? Another refuta
tion of the imputation was given in the old soldiers pledg
ing their lives and fortunes to the government of the United
States in the event that it should become necessary to de
fend their country.
The gray line is thinning, but the blood of the heroes
still runs red and strong and they are blessed with peren
nial youth. God bless them and keep them to enjoy many
more reunions!

HERBERT OlilEK DISCUSSES
THE SCOTTOBREGQN PM
“It Proves,” He Says, “That Vl\ Have No Sinister Design
Against Mexico”
BY HERBERT QUICK.
Gennal Hugh L. Scott is a soldier, a
professional soldier, chief of staff of
the army of the Unted States.
According to the Fordists he should
be bloody-minded wretch, quite carried
away by his professional zeal for fight
ing.
These people say that the soldier’s
slogan Is "Soldiership is my business.
Therefore, I want to make soldiership
the big business of the country. Every
body else magnifies his business, why
should not 1 do the same'.’ War is
what we soldiers need. War is good
for the nation anyhow. It is good for
officers especially.
It made presidents of Washington,
Jackson, Taylor, William Henry Harri
son, Grant and Roosevelt; anii it helped
a lot of other presidents, vice-presi
dents. congressmen, senators and gov
ernors. It opens the way for promo
tion. Therefore, if there Is anything I
can do to plunge this country into a
victorious war, 1 as a patriot will do
it!"
But General Scott went to Juarez and
performed in a most peculiar manner
for a bloody-minded wretch of thiß
sort.
He used with General Obregon all
that candor and kindness and fairness
which had made Scott America's best
CHARLESTON BIRD CLUB.
Permanent Organization Effected—Elli
son Williams Is President.
The movement to organize a local club
having as Its object the preservation of
wild birds, which was launched by Ern
est Harold Baynes, the naturalist-lec
turer. who spoke here during the Chau
tauqua, was consummated yesterday af
ternoon at the Meseum when the Char
leston Bird Club was permanently or
ganized and officers were elected. A
large attendance of the friends of birds
was present and there was much inter
est In the proceedings.
The officers elected were: President,
Ellison Williams; vice-president. Mrs.
Robert Wilson; secretary. Miss Louise
Smith, and treasurer, Miss Susie Allan.
A committee composed of Miss Mabel
Webber, chairman; Mias l.aura Bragg,
Mrs. Robert Wilson and Jesse Sharpe,
was appointed to draw up a constitution
and by-laws and will report at a meet
ing of the club to be held next Friday at
5 p. tn. at the museum.

diplomat. The intelligent and able
Mexican general was appealed to by
Scott’s methods.
Evidently Ecott said to Obregon, "We
see Just how you are situated. Now
this is the way tve are fixed. Let’s
you and I sit right down here and work
out a solution of the tangle as man
with man, both wanting to accomplisli
the same end, each tender of the oth
er’s honor, neither desiring any ad
vantage over the other. How can we
arrange matters? Not to arrange them
would be absurd.”
So Scott seems to have argued.
Not that the Mexican situation has
been cleared up; but we have again
given the Mexican government and the
Mexican people proof that we have no
sinister designs against them.
Doing that sort of thing over and
over again is worth while.
But, of course, according to the fana
tical anti-preparedness crowd, Scott
as a soldier just must have had some
meanness in view when he did this.
Isn’t he a soldier? And aren’t soldiers
dangerous to the cause of peace
Newton D. Baker is quoted as hav
ing said that the first surprise of his
young life as secretary of war was to
find that the army does not want war.
Maybe, after all, Scott isn’t so bloody
minded as Ford believes.
