Campaign For the Hospital
Meets With Encouragement

the vote in the gubernatorial race at
Little Mountain, S. c., badly mixed.
In the opinion of the closest politi-
cal observers, Governor Blease is de-
cidedly stronger at this place, than he
was two years ago, and if all the re-
ports that l hear of Judge Jones are
similar to the one in question, made
about Little Mountain, l fully believe
that Governor Blease's majority will
greatly exceed that OF twn y~ars aso.
Why this uncalled for misrepresen-
tation of Little Mountain | am at a
loss to know, for I believe the people
of Little Mountain have never been so
blinded by prejudice that they would
not give every man what was due him,
and while doubtless Governor Blease
has made some mistakes (for no. man
is perfect yet we believe that the
good he has done has considerably
overbalanced the mistakes he may
have made, and for this very reason,
together with the sound principles
he advocates, we account for the de-
cided change of sentiment from TWO
years ago for Blease.
The gentleman from Newberry who
made the statement as to the political
situation at Little Mounain, in which
he stated the oJnes vote would be II
or Is, is, in my opinion, about correct.
Recently we have heard a great deal
about Judge Jones gaining in every
section of South Carolina, but We have
had our doubts as to the truth of these
statements, and this inerview fully
convinces me that all this fuss is like
the old negro's farm bell. great big
mouth, great long tongue, a great
big fuss, and nothing done.
You can rot fool the Blease side by
such interviews; you will have to get
the votes. Newspaper interviews do
not count in the ballot box.
We will have to taste of the ice
cream before We will be convinced of
it's flavor. My prediction is that Blease
will be elected by twenty thousand
majority. Put this in your pipe and
smoke it. The smoke may burn your
tongue, but if it does, use giycerine
and vaseline; if this does not cure the
trouble use Porter's antiseptic healing
oil, highly recommended for cuts,
burns and bruises. Citizen.
The article to which Citizen" refers
appeared in tho Columbia correspond
ence of the News and Courier, and was
as follows:
Columbia, May ga we'll known
gentleman, who has travelled practi-
cally all over the State within the past
few weeks, was in Columbia today
and in conversation expressed the be-
lief that Judge Jones would beat Gov
ernor Blease overwhelmingly at the
primary this summer In fact, he stat
ed that this sentiment was general
wherever he went and that everywhere
he found voters who two years ago
supported Governor Blease turning to
Judge Jones and said this matter had
impressed him in every place he Wis
tied. CAS- an indication of this change,
was told at Little Mountain that out
of something like forty-two who were
among those that cast their votes for
Blease there two years ago, 3S had
openly stated that they were going to
vote for Judge Jones this year. he
said
Little Mountain is in Newberry
county, Governor Blease's nome, and
this bears out the reports which have
been reaching Columbia from time to
time that the friends of Judge Jones
are going to make a desperate effort to
swing Newberry county into the Jones
column and they are encouraged over
the outlook.
"a gentleman from Newberry, who
was in the city today and who knows
Little Mountain we'll, stated that he
was at Little Mountain few days ago
and in conversation with one of the
leaders there and this leader told him
