Call me early, mother dear,
For this is Jones' election year.
-Gaffney Ledger.
Senator Tillman says Blease has
muddied the water. There is. no
doubt about that-Greenville News.
***
Somebody ought to ask Senator
Tillman if he thinks Blease has made
good News.
whats in a name" will be fully
answered by Jonesville's vote for
Judge Jones on the 27th.-Gaffney
Ledger.
1t must be contagious. Alb Hill, the
Blease candidate for solicitor, has
called somebody malicious liar"
-Spartanburg Journal.
The Spartanburg Herald says that
it is unsafe to say anything except
your prayers in a Spartanburg hotel
room because of the possibility of the
presence of a dictagraph.-Oran
burg Times and Democrat.
During the campaign meeting at
Spartanburg on Friday Blease badges
were given out at an undertaking es-
tablishment. Is this case of COM
ing events casting their shadows be-
fore.-Orangeburg Times and Demo-
crat.
1t is significant that the real Blease
badges were given out from an un-
dertaking establishment. The coroner
can hold the inquest over the political
dead body on the morning of August
28.-Spartanburg Journal.
Judge Jones at Spartanburg Fri
day made w. p. Beard, ESQ.,, who ac-
companies Gov. Blease as a body
guard, confess that he was armed.
1t is bad state of affairs when the
Governor of the State must travel
around with an armed escort-Ches-
ter Reporter.
1t is hard matter to find a voter
who voted against Blease before who
is going to vote for him this time,
but it is an easy matter to find men
who voted for him two years ago who
are opposing him now. This is the,
a hn tot ov,I
the defeat of Blease.-Orangeburg
Times Democrat. @
One hundred per cent of the graft
ers are supporting Blease, as are
also one hundred per cent of the law-
less and one hundred per cent of th4
blind tiger element. Which side arr
you on, that of law and order 6rSSffae
of lawlessness ?-Gaffney Ledger y
Governor Blease has voted for Judge
Jones every time he has had a chance
to do so. 1t must be evident, there
fore, that the Judge was good man,
from the Blease point of view, until
he became a candidate for Governor.
Rock Hill Herald.
Ninety-nine per cent of the preach
ers are supporting Judge Jones, as
are also 95 per cent of the newspa-
pers, 95 per cent of the doctors, 80
per cent of the lawyers, 80 per cent
of the merchants and 80 per cent of
the right thinking people who want
law and order instead of lawless-
ness and anarchy.-Gaffney Ledger.
One of the party of personal
friends and retainerS that is ac-
companying Gov. Blease over the
State, ostensibly for the purpose of
seeing that no physical harm be-
falls the chief magistrate, but in
reality to lend as much appearance
as possible to the claims of support
that he is making, is P. H. Corley,
formerly sheriff of Lexington coun-
ty, but now special agent of the
Southern Railway.-Chester Reporter
The Spartanburg Journal SAYS
"This is a free country. A voter
can go with the best people in the
state and vote with them; or he can
vote with all the scoundrels, par
doner convicts, grafters, gamblers,
licentious degenerates and lawbreak-
ers, if he desires. Let him choose
his crowd and line up with them.
He ought not to be ashland of his
associates.-Chester Reporter.
Many persons profess to believe
nothing they see in the newspapers,
