She underwent a very serious operation in Wallace Thomson hospital several weeks ago, and for some time strong hopes of her recovery were entertained. Ali that loving hands and skill could do to prolong her life was done, but to no avail. Mrs. Going was, before her mar riage, i^fciss Beatrice Wilburn. She ' ^ was a skilled musician, and for several years taught music in the city schools here. She was an accomplished young woman, and by her genial nature, was the possessor of the friendship of many. She was a consistent member of the First Baptist church and was faithful to her church.

Garner ULSTER SCENE OF HEAVY FIGHTING London, June 1 (By the Associated Press).?Interest in the Irish situation shifted today to Ulster, where the borderland disturbances and the' Belfast outrages aije more serious than ever. The conferences of Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, and, the Marquis of Londonderry, with Premier Lloyd George were not productive of optimistic statements regarding the solution of the problem. It is understood that the question of the support to be given to northern Ireland in case of an invasion of that territory was considered and an agreementent reached. The situation remains grave. Mr. Lloyd George has cancelled his Whits hunt Saturday and is awaiting tomorrow's conference between the Ulsterites and the earl of Balfour at the foreign office. Fierce fighting at Belfast continued this morning with considerable sniping throughout the afternoon. The death toll in the two days' engagement has reached 14, while 50 personhs have been wounded. Along the border the military has replaced the specials. Equal activity among the naval forces indicate the anxiety of the northern government over the menace of an invasion. A meeting in Downing Street of the cabynet and the Irish delegates, lasting an hour ami a half, preceded Michajl Collins' departure for Dublin. .'Jo statements were issued. One of the Irish delegates, on being questioned, replied: "Things have not yet reached the state where we can make a statement." Mr. Collins was accompanied to Dublin by Ramon J. Duggan and Wm. Cosgrove, leaving Arthur Griffith and the other delegates, O'Hegarty, O'Higgins and O'Kennedy in London.

The revival services now in prog- j ress at Bethel Methodist church will continue all this week. Rev. Chandler continues to preach with wonderful power and zeal, and Sunday was a fine day at church. They had a fine Sunday school with 300 in it. After the Sunday school, the preacher again took up the heavy burden of preaching Jesus and His wonderful love for sinners. Sunday night a regular old-time meeting took place. Men, women, boys and girls pressing to the Altar for prayer. It was a fine meeting and, be it said, there were some people packed in old Bethel. Many said it was the largest crowd ever entering this church. Seven joined and Rev. Cogburn will nave a large class ior Baptism next Sunday. Will say something more next time, or later on in the closing days of the meeting. This correspondent attended the Times club meeting at Boatmar. Springs last Saturday. It was a great meeting.

RIVERS SHOW SIGN OF DANGER Macon, June 1.?The Ocmulgee river registered 13 feet here at 9 o'clock tonift.it, a rise of 8.5 feet in 12 hours, and indications are that it will eon tinue to rise during the night. Families are desert ng their homes in th?* i lowlands. Other streams in middle and southern Georgia also are out of i their bands. Rain continued tonight. The reading of the Ocmulgee river i in this city was one foot above flood < stage at 8:30 o'clock tonight. A rise of at least three feet during the nigh was anticipated.

POLLOCK DEAD Columbia, June 2.?Former United'' States Senator W. P. Pollock of Che- r raw died from apoplexy today. Mr. Pollock was born in Cheraw,' Chesterfield county, about 50 years j ago and was a prominent figure in th 1 political field of his native county and r in. the State. He graduated from the o University of South Carolina and settled in Chesterfield for the practice of law and quickly made a name for, himself. He was a fearless fighter and is remembered in this State for"" the fight he made against Cole 1 . f Blease for the United States senate. I. He represented his county in the legis-' lature for a number of years and wa^? considered one of the most prominei t si lawyers in that part of the State. Mr. Pollock is survived by his wife who before her marriage was Miss Salloy of Orangeburg. The funeral will be held in Cheraw E at St. David's church and will hep largely attended by his friends and ? admirers over the State. , Whitmire Whitmire, S. C., June 1, 1022. I will try to scribble a short lettir _ from this place partly and from ai other place, too. It's wet down here, owing to m> much ra'*\ and the farmers are getting behb I with their work.

Some almost ready to harvest. Also two places where bales of cotton were stored in side' rooms of barns. Gardens looked well. | It would be ever so nice for the j farmers of Union county to furnish: the cannery with all the vegetables they could handle. It would mean patronizing home industry ami storing for winter and spring consumption! and probably at a smaller margin of: profit. Are there two chapters in the Hi-! ble that read alike, and where are they ? Hope all the correspondents had a grand time at their meeting at Boatman Spring. Blue .lay. Elford Grove The farmers are busy with their crops and some are over the first i imp noeing. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Harnett were shopping in Union last Saturday. J. D. Miller and sons, Qlser and John D., and daughter, May, and Mavk Gamer were visitors in Green-' ville last week. Miss Dora James spent last week] with her sister, Mrs. Henry Duncan, | of Buffalo. Miss Charlie Mae Garner, of I.ockhart, spent Saturday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Garner. Miss Lillie Mae Barnett is at home after a three weeks' visit to her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Robison of Greenville. Boyce White spent the week-end with his parents near Ixickhart Junction. There is a Sunday school at Elford Grove now at the Elford Grove school house. Everyone is invited to attend. I was sorry to hear of the death ' of Mr. W. P. Duckett. The family I has nfy sympathy in their dark hour. 1 4 HOOVER DECIDES ON COAL PRICES Washington, June 1.?Establishment of a maximum p.-i -e of $3.50 a ton for coal at the mines in 80 per rent of the present production fields for the duration of the strike was announced tonight by Secretary Hoover. He regretted, he added, that a small minority of the operators representing western Kentucky had refused to cooperate and are demanding higher prices. Consumers can insure themselves a square deal under the established prices by checking freight rates with the maximum price, Mr. Hoover said, determine whether they are buying contract coal and make proper allowances for cost of retail distribution. The maximum rate, he explained, applies solely to spot coal and consumers who are not treated fairly may apppcal to the commerce department with assurances that inquiry into their cases will be instituted. Mr. Hoover announced he had been advised that operators of Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and eastern Kentucky would accept $3.50 a ton, while Alabama operators will accept the rate of 25 cents a ton below the Garfield scale in that district. Western Kentucky operators, he continued, are demanding $4.25 a ton, but he did not feel justified in advising the public to accept that price level, although, he said, production costs ware higher in that district than in other fields. Conferences with Pennsylvania operators are expected to be held next week. V ?.
