W. y. POLLOCK WILL MAKE
RACE FOR u. S. SENATE
Announced Monday Night that He
Would be Candidate for Office in
IVIS. "GamecOck" Candidates


1918. "GamecOck" Candidate.
Columbia, October 23.-W. p. Pol
lock, of Cheraw, tonight announced
that he would be a candidate for the
United States senate in 1918. when the
state Will again select one Of her rep
resentatives in the greatest delibera-
tive 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 no statement late
~ in regard to himself, so it is vet
somewhat problematical as to whether
or not he will be a candidate to sue
ceed himself. The senator has. in
years past. expressed desire to die
in harness." though more recently he
mas intimated that because OF his frail
health, he will retire from public life
at the expiration of his present term.
The announcement of Mr.. Pollock
VIII create much interest. He was
the game cock" candidate in the me-
mortal campaign of 1914 when the
quartet OF candidates was composed
of E. ID. Smith, incumbent, Cole l.
Blease, then governor, l.. d. Jennings,
of Sumter and w. p. Pollock A more
aggressive stump speaker than Mr..
Pollock has not been heard in this
STATE since The old Tillmanic DAYS. He
ana Mr.. Jennings fought bitterly in
me campaign two years ago. They
entered as avowcd anti-Blease mon
and after the first week Of the cam
ba,gn cut loose, with all the power of
their forensic oratory. 1t was Mr..
Pollock who delighted the "antis"
with his never ending lampooning Of
the record OF Governor Blease.
When he entered the race, little
was known Of him over the State ex-
ccpt inat he had served in the Gen
eral Assembly, and had also held a
positions in Washington. Within few
weeks his name was familiar all over
the state, as his fight was of such un-
usual intenseness.
1t is generally believed that the
announcement of Mr.. Pollock makes
II certain that the race for the sen
ate Will he ut the least, three en-
try contest. y is assumed that Mr..
Bleasc will be candidate and almost
certain that either Senator Tillman
OF Congressman Asbury Lever will
run. Mr.. Lever will probably await
the decision Of the senior senator be-
fore announcing his intention. If Sen
ator Iillman runs again. Mr.. Lever
most likely will oyer for rclectiin 10
the house. In case the venerable sen
ator retires, the First district congress
man Is expected to enter the race.

Friday Afternoon.
Anderson High School and Iaurens
High School fought to a draw in the
gridiron contest at the fair grounds
Friday afternoon, the four quarters
being completed without either team
being able to put the pigskin behind
the goal posts. The two teams played
about evenly throughout the match,
though the Laurens boys to be pena:-
lied on several occasions for off side
plays. The Anderson team was a
husky set of youngsters and appeared
to have an edge on the Laurens boys
In weight. The nearest that either side
came to scoring was just before the
end Of the second quarter, when Lau-
rens had the ball few yards from the
Anderson goal. On the fourth down
the Laurens boys lost the ball on an
unsuccessful forward pass.
Spectacular playing was somewhat
at premium both teams pinning
their hopes largely on straight line
backing. Earle I.angston was the
mainstay Of the Laurens aggregation
in this department Of the game while
Green did the plunging for the my

two Fuller boys did effective work in

particular. The weather man, who had
assumed a threatening air for several
days. finally gave vent to his feelings
near the middle Of the exhibition day
and drenched large number who had
stayed on the grounds during the meal
hour. Although many we're driven
away. the crowd that reassembled in
the afternoon to witness the riding and
driving contests was equally as large
as the mornings crowd and all were
y good humor.
The number and quality of the ex-
hibits in the various departments this
year attested to the advances being
made in agriculture in this county. In
the food crop, swine and horse depart
ments the exhibits this year were bet
ter than ever before. The exhibit of
Youngs school, In the food crop de-
partment. and that Of Mr. j. II. Powers,
showed wide variety of garden pro-
ducts. The displays in the swine de-
partment Of Messrs w. P. Smith, II, d.

of committee of ladies', was present

fair exhibition. but the threatening
weather conditions, 1t was explained,

afternoon, the occasion was immense
ly enjoyed and altogether was the
success the managers and all others
interested endeavored to make the
event.
