W. P. Pollock, former United States Senator, died , suddenly at his home here at 7 o'clock this morning. Mr. Pollock had been ' in ill health for several months, but recentl/ his condition was thought to ' be improving and there was hope for his ultimate recovery. He was out driving yesterday. This morning as he was getting up, he fell back on the bed and died in a few minutes. Mr. Pollock was in his 52nd year. He was the son of the late Capt. Alec > Pollock of the Cheraw bar and Rebecca Pegues Pollock. He marrid Miss Bessie Salley, of Orangcburg.and she with the following sisters survive: Mrs Henry Rogers, of near Rockingham, N. C., Mrs. Lottie Harrall and Mrs. T. E, Wannamaker, Sr., of Cheraw, Mrs. T. T. Brooks of Greensboro, N. C., Mrs. Waddill Pegues of Birmingham, Ala., and Mrs. Rathbun , of Providence, R. I. Having served his countv in the legislature several terms, he made the campaign for the United States Senate in 1914 with Senator E. D. Smith, Lang D. Jennings, of Sumter and Cole L. Blease. His aggressiveness in this contest made him a statewide figure, and when an election was held in 1918 to fill out the unexpired term of the late Senator 11. R. Tillman, Mr. Pollock was elected to this office, which he filled from December ' 5, 1918 to Mar 4, 1919, when he was suceeded by 'Senator N. B. Dial. While in Washington, Mr. Pollock participated in the vote which enfranchised the women of the country, the South Carolina senator being lined up with the proponents of the measure. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity. William P. Pollock From the Charleston News and Courier: William Pegu^s Pollock enjoyed the warm affection and high regard of thousands of South Carole/nans. They knew him as one who had proved his willingness to serve his people ragrdless of the loss to himself--one who was not only willing but able to play a man'8 part in the service of his State when there was work to be done which called for those qualities of heart and mind with which he was abundantly endowed. Mr. Pollock I1 never shrank from any duty because it bore a forbidding aspect. The campaign for the Senatorship which brought him most prominently before the people of the State revaeled dramatically the distinctive cliaracacteristics of the man and displayed vividly before the eyes of South Carolinians one of the most attractive personalities in South Carolina's recent politcal history. His services were appreciated and his capacity for good work at a post of large responsibility was recognized when he was elected to the United State Senate for part of the unexpired term of Senator Tillman. He will be remembered as a Senator for his ardent defense of woman's suffrage and for the important part which he played in the passage of the woman's suffrage amendment,but Mr. Pdllock's chief claim to the gratitude of South Carolinians will always be his courageous and able performance of the duty to which he believed that he was called in a political crisis which in his judgment could be met in only one way. He met it in that way, and the result for which he strove in a fine and unselfish spirit of public service was attained. MR. DUVALL RESIGNS Mr. G. W. Duvall has resigned as a member of the Board of County Commissioners. On account of his VlAol + tk wUw-l-i- 1 * * "" " v.i, pujraiciang nave advised Mr. Duvall to reduce hia responsibilities as much as pon,5ble. The county will regreat to lose the vrlurble services of Mr. Duvall. It is reported at the courthouse that Mr. J. L. Craig, of Cheraw, has been appointed to fill the vacancy on the bosA'd caused by Mr. Puvall's resignation. Mr. Carig, a progressive and a man of ability, would be a welcomed appointee.

For the session of the legislature, if he is elected, he is paid$400 and that is scarcely 1 more than onnticrVi *r, .1 ~f-?- u:~ ? v*# ViV. I i U V sua ttt" c tual expenses of living. If he has the v ability to be of considerable value in c legislation, the time that he gives to ^ it would be worth far more to his private business or profession. In Richland county a candidate for the legislature must pay an entrance fee of $76, which is about one-fift.!i or one-fourM of the sum that he w? u!d be paid for the six or seven wetks service in the legislative session. If the candidate be defeated he loses the $75 as well as other campaign expenses and the time that he has given to the necessary work involved in his candidacy. The requirement that the candidate for office pay the expenses of a political campaign in South Carolina, is fundamentally wrong and unjust. Every year the expenses increase and every year it becomes more difficult for a man without means to offer for public office. A candidate ' for senator or governor, able to spend $26,000 enters the contest with an advantage that a poor man has small chance to become elected. The Newberry case in Michigan was and remains a national scandal. Newberry's family and friends spent around $260,000 and in that way his election by a small majority was effected. Gifford Pinchot and his wife report that in the recent contest for the Re Llj puuucun nomination tor governor of ( Pennsylvania they spent a sum ap- f proximatig $120,000. It is not said that any of this money was corruptly distributed. Most of it was probably devoted to the purchase of legitimate publicity, through newspaper advertiseing and other mediums. The num- a ber of men who could have raised ( $120,000 in Pennsylvania and who } would have been willing to invest it in a politcal campaign is, however, c very small. Thirtv t Vi?11 a a n < ! ? , ? in South Carolina would be propor- \ tionately a larger expenditure than $120,000 in Pennsylvania. The time must and will come when the expenses of a primary campaign will be paid by taxation and the sooner the better. Expenditures by candidates will then be carefully restricted by law and they will be vigilantly watched. No other method can be thought of that will save the principles of democracy. Democracy loses its vitality when officeholding is confined to a wealthy class.?The State.

Hajrnie Keeping Milk Sweet in Summer When the heat of summer comes th? farm housewife has to take especial pains to keep the family milk supply sweet and to keep the cream cool enough to make good butter. If no effort is made to cool the milk much of it is wasted and the butter is tnfit for sale and can be used only at lome while it is fresh. 9 One of the greatest helps in keepng milk sweet ;s cooling it as soon as t is drawn from the cow. A surface :ooler is excellent for this, but if this s not to be had, a five gallon shot gun an, commonly called a milk cooling :an, can be used to good advantage. XV Ml ? * ... ruur tne miiK into it and set it in cold vater, the colder the better. In a can >f this kid much of the surface of he milk is exposed to the cooling: igency and it will be cooled more luickly than in a bucket or pan. It is letter to use ice. Use the coldest watsr available if no ice is procurable, j [*he temperature of the milk should be educed to 50 degrees F., if poss- , ible? anyway, below 00 degrees F. It s a good practice cool milk hroughout the year, for b' cteria will nultiply in warm milk in winter as / ell as in summer. When the milk s cooled it should be stored in a cool ilace. If it is not possible to have an ce box or refrigerator, have running /ater in a storage tank, or make arangements so that all the water 'Umped for the stock first passes J hrough the storage tank. A barrel ' an be used for this. An iceless re- j rigerator can be used to keep the < r?ilk cool, though it may not be quite ( o satisfactory as the tank just de- ; cribed. However, it will be better i han no cooling arrangement at all All this about coolness Cleanliness , s even more important. Absolutely i lean milk will stay sweet longer at a ligher temperature than milk that is ot clean. A finger stuck in the milk rill start it to souring in a short time, lows with dirty udders, milkers with lirty hands, all make the milk "spoil" ind sometimes moke it nnsafe for hunan food. ??? 1 Poultry ' If you have not cleaned up the toulty house and yards, do so with- , ut further delay. The house should >e whitewashed inside and out at east once a year. One pint of crude aroouc acid to one gallon of white vas'h will make a better disinfectant.

Such a ipray may be used every two weeks is a disinfectant to keep the house dean, cool and free from germs. If a bird shows signs of disease do lot leave her with other birds, but imnediately kill and burn her. If she is oo valuable for such treatment put ler in a place removed from the flock tnd treat her. Use Sodium Fluoride >n your birds whenever necessary. This will not only kill the lice, but will ilso kill eggs deposited by the lice, ind no other preparation will do so veil.

MISS GRIGGS ENTERTAINS One of the loveliest affairs of the leason was given by Miss Margaret Sriggs at her home on Green street Wednesday afteroon from 4 to 6 ('clock in honor of Mrs. C. L. Melton ind her house guest, Mrs. Edgar Wiliems of McBee. An interesting feature was the con,est, "The Romance of a Shirtwaist." Lovely music was rendered by Misses ^ell and Vera Melton. This being Mrs. Melton's birthday inniversary, Miss Griggs presented tier with a beautiful birthday cake lluminated by tiny candles. The rake was cut by each guest. A delicious salad course with ice ;ea was served. Miss Griggs was charming in her ilack lace over red satin. Mrs. Melton wore a beaded crepe de chine gown with picture hat to match. Mrs. Wil- , WOrC * C*reM ?* Peri j DEATH SENTENCE FOR MRS. VINSON Atlanta, Ga., June 3.?Mrs. Cora Lou Vinson was convicted by a jury in superior court here tonight of the murder of her husband, Dr. W D. Vinson and sentenced to be hanged July 28. * The verdict without a recommendation to mercy was more than even j Solicitor General Boykin had asked, as he had urged the jury to convict the woman and fix her sentence at life i imprisonment saying he had never asked that a woman be hanged. Under i Georgia law a murder verdict without ; a recommendation carries the death pe ilty which the presiding judge formally imposes. Mrs. Vinson shot her husband in a < drug store here in March while divorce proceedings were pending. < SHERIFF GETS BUBBA 1 Sheriff Grant and his co-owrkers found a still last Friday on the Buchanan place, that was apparently op- . crated by "Bubba". Campbell. They found no whiskey, but about thirty 1 gallons of mam. The still was destroyed and Bubba served w'lh a subpoena. Three quarts of whiskey were J found in another place and some whiskey was found in the house of Newt Campbell. ^ POISONED DRINK KILLS TWO MEN Walter S. Jones and John Wages, < 3r., of Columbia are dead and Joht Wages, Jr., of Brookland, is seriously 1 ill, all three poisoned denatured al- 1 cohol, used as a beverage. Mr. Jones ' died at the Columbia hospital at noon yesterday and John Wages, Sr., died it his residence on Willaims street at ' ) o'clock Monday night. John Wages, Jr., is gradually improving and it is * now thought that he will recover. One bottle of the denatured alco- * hoi, according to John Wages, Jr., was purchased from a drug store Monday , morning. This bottle, labeled "poison" with the bottle taken from Mr. Jones, is now in the possession of Dr. Watson Talbert, city physician. John Wages,' t Tr., who is still suffering from the ef- j fects of the poison, admitted that he t had taken a drink of the alcohol. "I ^ can't read," he said in explanation of ^ the fact that he had ignored the poi- ^ son label. _ NOTICE OF DISCHARGE J On the 1st July, 1922, I will apply to the Probate Judge of Chesterfield ( County for a discharge as executor v of estate of S.
