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.

LOCKHART JUNCTION
Lookhart Junction, Oct. 23.?We
are having fine weather but a little
cool. I don't mind the cool weather,
so it is fair. I guess others are the
same way.
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.
We drove about 20 miles, where the

been well worked. I said I was going
to stop, but dwell with me a
little while lonper. We came back
throuph part of York county, where
they are makinp the sand and clay
roads. They are puttinp sand or. the
red roads and it is the thing.
We stopped at the hospitable home ,
of Mr. Bob Vinson, who is well known
in Union county, but lives now in
York county. He owns a fine farm .
and is doing well.
Also stopped at Mr. J. H. Jones of
(hat county, where we were treated

TINY EDITION OF BILLIE i
BURKE IN HOTEL ANSONIA
New York, Oct. 23.?A tiny edition '
of Billie Burke, the famous actress, '
was ushered into the world in the
Hotel Ansonia today. Late reports tonight
were that both mother and i
daughter were progressing favorably. '
Miss Burke is the wife of Florenz
Ziegfeld, Jr., the noted theatrical (
managed. The little stranger took up 1
its abode in this city exactly at 3:15 <
o'clock this afternoon. At that mo- 1
ment Mr. Ziegfeld was busy superin- '
tending the rehearsals of his new allstar
show, "The Century Girl," at the '
Century theater. !
It was some time before he could
be found and the news imparted to
him. He immediately rushed over to
his apartment in the Hotel Ansonia, .
where he was quickly overwhelmed
with a shower of congratulations from (
all over the country. <
Billie Burke and Mr. Ziegfeld were 1
quietly married in Hoboken in April,
1914. The ceremony was performed '
by the Rev. Dr. Enzelfeld. So care- '
fully were the arrangements for the J
ceremony made that no one outside the ,
parents of the couple knew it for sev- ,
eral days. Miss Burke appeared in
"Jerry," the play in which she was
starring at the time, the same evenU

"I suffered from indigestion in a
very bad chronic form," she continued.
"After meals I felt as if there were
coals of fire in my stomach and throat.
Often I would have bad spells of this
trouble. Headaches made me miserable
all the time, and mv nerves
were in such bad shape that I could
not rest day or night.
"Shortness of breath, which I had
awfully bad, troubled me all the time,
and it was very uncomfortable. I
also was bothered a great deal with
sleeplessness. I had been this way
for about ten years and I had taken
almost every medicine I heard of and
had been under treatment of a lot of
doctors, but I did not seem to improve
a bit.
"We began reading the Tanlac advertisements
and finally I began taking
it. It sure is a wonderful, too.
Tanlac is. for it sure did give me
great relief. It comnletely broke up
my indigestion and I have not been
troubled with mv stomach since the
first half of mv first bottle of Tanlac
was taken. My appetite is good now
?T iust cannot get enough it seems.
My nerves do not trouble me now and
I do not have headaches any more.
"That shortness of breath was
nuicklv relieved and the Tanlac built
up my stomach, nerves and my svs
torn generally in a reallv wonderful
way. I gained nine pounds before the
third bottle was gone, and I have not
weighed since. The Tanlac did me
more good than all the medicines T
hn'-o taken in ten years, and T took
orb* four bottles of Tanlac.
"I sleep well now and I feel like
a new nerson. I am glad to recommend
Tanlac. too, whenever T have
the chance. It sure is a wonderful
medicine and it made a new nerson of
me. I have done all 1 can to get all
the sickly neople near here to take
Tanlac. and a number of them also
greatly aided by it."

MOTHER! GIVE CHILI)
"SYRUP OF FIGS" IF
TONGUE IS COATED
.
If Cross, Feverish, Sick, Bilious,
Clean IJttle Liver and
Bowels.
Children love this "fruit laxative,"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result
is, they become tightly clogged
with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't
eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is
had, system full of coid, has sore
throart, stomach-ache or diarrhoea.
I.isten, Mother! See if tongue is
coated, then give a teaspoonful of
"California Syrup of Figs," and in a
few hours all the constipated waste,
sour bile and undigested food passes
out of the system, and you have a
well, playful child again.
Millions of mothers give "California
Syrup of Figs" because ft is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it never
fails to act on the stomach, liver and
bowels.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent j
bottle of "California Syrup of Figs,"
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grownups
plainly printed on the bottle. Beware
or counterfeits sold here. Get
the genuine, made bv "California Fig
Syrup Company." Refuse any other
kind with contempt
