The Aiken Standard lists Ellen Priest as Publisher and Editor with Holly Ellington as News Editor. A Thought of the Day by Dinah Shore is cited, reflecting an era mood and the paper’s 1867 founding context.
Nobody has won the nomination yet though Bernie Sanders has more than 55 percent in early contests. Hillary Clinton leads 505 to 71 in delegates, but superdelegates favor Clinton 454 to 20. The piece warns both parties face populist risks from Trump and Sanders, noting potential upheaval if delegates are stacked against voters.

The South Carolina GOP primary solidifies Donald Trump’s path to the 2016 nomination. He captures all 50 delegates, wins seven congressional districts and 44 of 46 counties, with a high of 49 percent in Horry and a low of 26 percent in Charleston. Rubio edges Cruz for second 22.5 to 22.3 percent, while Bush Kasich and Carson each hover around 7 percent. The results show intra party splits, with Trump strong in rural areas and Rubio dominating large counties like Richland and Charleston.
A letter weighs Joe Wilson and the Washington GOP on budget battles and immigration. It cites MOX plant funding in Aiken County, says 1,800 jobs depend on it, questions Russia and the Iran deal, and urges choosing a true small government Republican. The piece ends praising the Aiken Symphony Orchestra and conductor Portnoy with Gluzman’s Beethoven performances.
