POLLOCK TELLS OF CANDIDACY Cheraw Man hn Itace for Senate. Gives His Position. Cheraw, June 11.-W. P. Pollock, candidate for the United States sen ate, has given out the following open 'letter to the people of the state re garding his candidacy: The time approaches near when entries will close for .candidates for State and national offices. Many able - and pat'ijotic men have announced their candidacy for governor and for other state offices, but so fr only two 'men have announced their can didacy for the United States senate Sen. 1H. D. 'Smith and GJov. C. L. 'Blease. I know of no law of the 'land nor rule of the party that gives to a sen ator the right to succeed himself, but on the contrary the constitution of the United tSates limits the term to six years, and at the expiration of that torni a senator's commission goes back to he people whence 'it came to be by them bestowed where they will. I know of no law of the land nor rule of the party that gives to a gov ernor the right to succeed to a seat In the United States senate at the ex piration of his gubernatorial term, but on the countrary a governor who uses his office to build up for himself a political machine with which to elect himself to some ' other office shows that lie is utterly sillish, and he vio lates the spirit if not the letter of the constitution. There is a widespread demand throughout' South Carolina for a broader field, from which to choose a United States senator, because the wisest conclusions are reached only after the fullest discussion-the best representatives of the people are found only when the people have a full field from whiLch to select. I have 'been urged by many' un selfish, patriotic mien from every sec tion of South Carolina who have only the best interests of the State and her people at heart to enter the race for the United States senate this year, but I have hesitated to do so before lest my entrance .into the race might keep some other man who might be more acceptable to the people from :announcing his candidacy. But the atime for doubting and waiting has ,Massed. South Carolina needs the ser vices of her sons.,She deserves better abroad than she has been receiving at home. She gave me birth and sus tenance, and whatever I am I owe It to her and I gladly place myself at her disposal. I therefore announce myself a can " didate for the United 'States senate in the approaching IDemocratic primary, and in doing so I do not wish any ,good, patriotic man who is willing to Place his services on the altar of his state to stay out of the race on my account, but I shall welcome into the -campaign any good man who feels ' hat he can render a patriotic service tio his people. I am not a candidate of anmy cliue or caucus. I have enlteredl into no '4omfbinahtionI with any manm or set of meon. I have nothing to give and iothing to promise except faithful .wrvice to my country and my people. I am not -begging .feor something for mJyseif, but i .am exercising tihe right kiat every PDemocrat in South Caro lina has who is 30 years old-the right to offer Is services to his State in the United States senate. It is for the jjeople to accept-or reject those ser vices, and whether they accept mec or whether they reject me I hope the people will see in the campaign that thley have the opportunity to vote for a man and not for a mere self-seek ing politician and sycopant, and that b~y my efforts something has been add ed to the -welfare of South Carolina and thle happliness of her pecople,. therefore, Invite all good men in Southl Carolina to join me in a campaign for decency and honor and law andl order, and against corruption andl dishonor and (disorder and lawlessness, I appeal to the conscience of the p~eople of South Carolina to elect to the senate and to every other office within thleir' gift the best man wvho shall offer, and by the verdict of the people I shall be willing to abide. W. P.Pollock. * * The Samte 014d QuestIon. * ** Does the moon In its different 'etages have any effect on the plant ing of corn or. other crops? Is there a certain time to cut male animals? IDo cows have hollow horn and tall?" Trhe time to plant any crop in when you have done your part in the pre paration of the soil, and the season for planting has come. The moon does not care when you plant and has not the slightest effect on tihe nlanting. The time to castrate pigs is whlen you have a sharp knife and know how ti do the work right, and the younger tile pig, Ia reason, the better. 7. All - cows have hollow horn and a soft place in the tail. Sometimes they get sick from bad feeding or some other cause, and. may .need treatment, but as hollow. horns and a soft place in the tail are natural to every cow, these cannot be the cause of their sickness. Now these ques tions have all been answered time and again, but you will find farmers everywhere who think they know bet ter. but the young farmers who have been trained in agriculture at the schools are getting rid of these old superstitions, and they are simply an evidence of ignorance.-The Progres sive Farmer. CLARK CONVICTED OF WIFE MURDER Florence ian Gliven Life Sentence. Ilenched by Consent. Florence, Junte 9.-Accepting a ver dict of guilty of murder with recomi mendation to mercy, Howard Clark of this cgunty today was sentenced to life Imprisonment for the murder of his wife, Anita Parrott Clark, at their plantation near this city last spring. The case came to trial at the court of general sessions here oday. At the close of the testimony of the State the attorneys for the defense offered to accept a verdict of gully, wih rec ornmendationi to mercy, without put ting in any evidence. The attorneys for the State agreed to this and rce ommenided o the Jury that. they ren der their verdict accordingly. Judge S. W. C. Shipp then submitted the case to the jury, who retired and after 10 to 15 minutes' deliberation return ed a verdict of guilty wihi recom mendation to mercy. Judge Shipp sentenced the mrlan to life ilprisonnient in the State peni tentiary. Clark received -the sentence in his usual calm marnner. Not the least enitotion' (1.i1 le show even though Judge Shipp spoke of the re gret he felt in having to perform this duty, on account of friendship for the young man's father, the late Fred Clark, at one time representative in the house from Florence county. It was thought the plea of the de fense would be insanity, but this was abandoned after a number of experts had been called here to examine the accused, among them being )r. I3ab cock, of Columnbir. It Is understood that. the agreement as to the verdict was conditioned upon a further agreement that there would be no attempt made to secu-re a pardon. . The indictment charges murder and alleged a premeditated killing by means of a pistol shot and by strychnine poisoning. The testi mony produced was. sensational and revolting.-The State. ,1US'T A PLAIN Fl(4it'I'. ('ecl C. Wyche Will Not Discuss liat Ole.
