Ira B. Jones has been going around

A Bleasite's Prediction.
Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Please allow me space in your COL
umns to give you and the people of
Union county my prediction of the
political contest which is soon to
close. But first let me say few
words on another subject.
Mr.. Editor, you published Joe
Sparks opinion of the election and
other political features, and 1 ask you
to publish mine. Mr.. Sparks says
Cole l.. Blease will be the worst sur
prised man in South Carolina after
the 9th. That is my opinion, also,
because he won't expect to defeat
Jones over 1000 votes in the first
election. But when he learns that he
has beat him about 1000 he sure will
be surprised. He also says there is
no Blease candidates for legislature.
will take Union county for instance.
There is B. G.. Wilburn, w. F..
O'Shields, r. w. Hamilton, J. F. Wal
ker, Jr., who. are all red hot Blease
men, who are candidates from Union
county for Legislature and as to Mr..
b. f. Kennedy and w. F. Bobo,
don't know where they stand, but on
the Jones side, so / am told and if
they do, they won't get 200 votes each
in the election. The Spartanburg leg
islative candidates are two-thirds
Blease, and Cole l.. Blease will carry
Richland county by 3,067 to 1000
in this election, and will carry Spar
tanburg county by $500.
Hurrah for our next governor, Hon.
Cole l.. Blease, is being shouted all
over the state and down with nigger
