AWAY SUDDENLY IN CHERAW
I
' Cheraw, June 2.? 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.

THE COST OF CAMPAIGNING
When an honest, competent and
strong man enters a contest for represntative
in the legislature, almost p
invariably it is at sacrifice of his
financial interest. 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.

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.

If you have not cleaned up the

If a bird shows signs of disease do
lot leave her with other birds, but imnediately
kill and burn her. If she is

This will not only kill the lice, but will
ilso kill eggs deposited by the lice,

Lovely music was rendered by Misses

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.

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.
