HON. w. P. POLLOCK PASSES

On last Friday morning at I:3O
o'clock the death angel dealt this
community a staggering blow when
Hon. William Pegues Pollock was re-
moved from our midst. Mr.. Pollock
had been in i'll health since he suffer-
ed a violent attack some months ago.
but recently he had recovered to such
an extent as to raise hope for his
ultimate recovery. However, Friday
morning he raised up in bed and fell
back, dying in a very short time.
Mr.. Pollock was 80 years of age and
was the son of the late Capt. Alex
and Rebecca Pegues Pollock. He is
survived by his wife, who before her
marriage was Miss Bessie Salley, OF
Orangeburg and the following sisters;
Mrs. Henry Rogers, of Rockingham,
n. c., Mrs. Charlotte Harrall and Mrs
T. E. Wannamaker, Sr., Of Cheraw,
Mrs. T. T. Brooks, of Greenboro, y.
c., Mrs. Waddill Pegues, of Birming-
ham, Ala, and Mrs. Rathbun, OF
Providence, R. l.
Mr.. Pollock was a prominent figure
in South Carolina politics, having
gained special prominence in the cam
paign of 1914 for the L. S. Senate and
later in 1918 when he was elected to
fill the uneXpired term Of the late
Senator B. R. Tillman. He represent
ed Chesterfield county several terms
in the legislature and served his coun-
ty many times as a delegate to the
State Conventions.
Mr.. Pollock's love for Cheraw al
ways prompted him to take special
interest in the affairs of our town and
he could always be counted on to
help in any enterprise that was for
the good of this community.
His generosity was known and felt
by many people, both white and black
and his numerous deeds Of kindness
and mercy will be remembered, tho
he is gone. He was a member o:
st. David's Episcopal Church.
The funeral services were held al
this church an Sunday afternoon at
4 o'clock. In spite of the very inclem-
ent weather the large church was
crowded to the door. Numbers OF ouI
of town relatives and friends came
long distances to be present at the last

COAL MUST BE DISTRIBUTED
And Kansas Will See That Operator,
Behave, Says Allen

Pittsburg, June 3O.-If the state

in Kansas it will be because coal is
not being distributed over Kansas To
meet the demands and not because
coal Is not being produced in Kan
sas, Gov. Henry j. Allen told the
Pittsburg Chamber OF Commerce at
n luncheon.
The governor said that coal pro-
duction is increasing and is suffi-
cient to care for Kansas demands,
If properly distributed. Unless the

to fiji these demands the governor
Indicated the state would attempt
TO see that such distribution is made.
