POLLOCK TO MAKE RACE FOR SENATE WAS A CANDIDATE IN 1914 CAMPAIGN. Chesterfield County Man .Announced Last Night That He Would Seek Togo Held by Tillman. Columbia, Oct. 24.?W. P. Pollock, of Cheraw, last night announced that he would be a candidate for the United States senate in 15)18, when the State will again select one of her representatives in the "greatest deliberative body on earth." This is the first definite announcement for the senate. Senator Tillman, who now holds the seat that will be filled at the next election, has issued 110 statement lately in regard to himself, so it is yet somewhat problematical as to whether or not he will be a candidate to succeed himself. The senator has, in years past, expressed a desire to "die in harness" though more recently he has intimated that because of his frail health he will retire from public life at the exDiration of his nppwnt to, The announcement of Mr. Pollock will create much interest. He was the "game cock" candidate in the memorial campaign of 1914 when the quartet of candidates was composed of E. D. Smith, incumbent, Cole L. Blease, then governor, L. D. Jennings. A more aggressive stump speaker than "Mr. Pollock has not been heard in this State since the old Tillman days. He and Mr. Jennings fought bitterly in the campaign two years ago. They entered as avowed anti-Blease men and after the first week of campaign cut loose with all the power of their forensic oratory. It was Mr. Pollock who delighted the "antic" with his never ending lampooning of the record of Governor Blease. When he entered the race, little was known of him over the State except that he had seived in the general assembly, and had also had a position in Washington. Within a few weeks his name was familiar all over the State, as his fight was of such unusual intenseness. I:, is generally believed that the announcement o( Mr. Pollock makes it certain that the race for the senWill )\n of f lw* 1^"-^ ? * l ?v?- < oi wv, c*v mw a-a.ii, a LllHSC-eiltry contest. It is assumed that Mr. Blease will he a candidate and almost certain that either Senator Tillman or Congressman Asbury Lever will run. Mr. Lever will probably await the decision of the senior senator before announcing his intention. If Senator Tillman runs ajr^in, Mr. Lever will most likely offer for reelection to the house. In case the venerable senator retires, the First district congressman is expect\i to enter the race. JONESVILLE Jonesville, Oct. 24.?There has been frost in the country two or three mornings but the effect is not visible on the uplands and the crops and vegetation are still green and growing. The mock wedding was well rendered in the graded school auditorium here last Friday night at the gra ted school house by local talent; the building was crowded. Many persons having to stand up. A neat sum was realized. At a rally meeting at the Methodist church here Sunday night a debt of three thousand dollars was raised, which will put the church clear of debt and the church will be dedicated soon after the debt is paid. Many of the members gave very liberally when the church was built, but the expense raiv up more than was expected, which brought the church out in debt. Messrs. C. P. Sanders and C. P. Hammond of Spartanburg were present Sunday night by special invitation and made enthusiastic talks which helped much in raising the debt. The Baptists will soon be ready to commence the building of a new church upon the same spot upon which the present one stands and while the Methodists will be happy in paying off their debt and having their church dedicated the Baptists " ill be equally as happy in getting their new church built.

I have just returned from Great Falls, where 1 went to visit my son, who is at work in the company store at that place. Mr. T. M. Tweed went with me, as he had relatives in York county. We drove through the country by Lockhart Mills and Wilkesburg, stopping at Mr. James Simpson's home near Chester, where we spent the first night. We enjoyed our stay at his hospitable home with his kind family. Mr. Simpson lived in Union county a few years ago, living near Jonesvillc when he moved hack to Chester, lie is well known in Union county. lie keeps up with the happenings ami changes in Union county for he tells* me he takes The Union Times. We stopped in Chester with Mr. R. M. White, a prominent planter. He has a large dairy near town. His home was our home while we stayed with him and he was delighted in showing us around his farm and dairy. He had many fine cattle to show us and has a fine farm, improving his farm hv cnurin?- /?1ava?* ? ?'J ? 1 r.. 1 r.. ~ J ^vit tn^ viutci ami aiiauu. He is making a great deal of his fertilizer from, his cattle. We took in the Chester fair, seeing two thousand school children in procession with their banners floating in the air with the name of their school. Made a fine show. I heard two speeches by Governor Manning, one on Education and the other on the Boll Weevil. He has been in Louisiana and other States looking into the situation and what effect the boll weevil has had on the crops. He says they will be in South Carolina soon and we had better prepare for them. I will say it is good to make friends and to have them. I will go back to Mr. R. M. White. Mr. White sent us to Great Falls in his auto, a distance of about 25-miles, free of charge. We surely did enjoy the kind hospitality shown us in his home by him and his kind family. Many thanks for his accommodations to us. Well, we will travel on, as I told some I would give them the news this time, as I never got to write last week. After arriving at Great Falls I met my son and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Gault, who were glad to see us of course and we were glad to see them. I found them well and in a nice business place. After being there awhile I met several who had moved from Union county to that place. These people all made us feel like we were at home. Great Falls has its right name. The Catawba river has its great rock shoals and water falls and power dams. I was shown around over the power plant. Met a Northern man from Philadelphia who was willing to give me information and if I had been a short hand writer I could have got enough news from that man to fill a newspaper, let alone a column. He was a machinist; knew all about the plant; benn in the business twenty years. He carri^ to where the electric power was transferred from one place to another. Showed me the nitric plant, where they caught the nitrogen from the air. I saw the compress air engine running with air and by air and catching air. What about that? Well, some might say that is nothing, but go and see xor yourself and you will think it is something. One engine was hot as if it was running by steam, while the other one was run with the same speed and the engine was not so hot. One was only running by his guage at 1)0 lbs. or degrees, like I hnve seen on the old Tozier engine. They are still in use today but are running quite differently. It is run by steam. You see the difference. I had better close as I haven't enough space to tell you all this time. I will tel! vjj some next time. I will tell you I walked through a little town of shanty houses where the work hands stayed. There were only 450 houses and 900 work men. I have been in Chester county, but not through this section, I will say in the extreme east of Chester they have some fine farming lands, level.
