DEMOCRATS MEET TO
 PICK STATE TICKET
Lunn Opposes Tammany's Candi-
 date for Senator

Saratoga Springs. N. Y, Aug. "A spirited fight by mayor George R. Lunn of Schenectady and his support CTS for the designation of party can didate for the United States senate against the desires of Tammany Hall and the unstate organization appeared today to be the only discord at the unofficial democratic convention which opens here tomorrow.
 Whether a complete state ticket will be recommended to the voters by the convention was in doubt but if a tick ct is made up it is certain that Cover nor Alfred Smith will be designated for renomination without opposition.
 It was originally planned to desig- nate a complete state ticket but the action of last weeks republican con- vention in adopting a platform that declared for the repeal of the direct primary law which was enacted under a democratic governor has prompted democratic leaders to question the advisa bility of recommending a ticket at the convention. The party, it is declared, will oppose repeal of the primary law. Because of this position it has been argued that the democrats ought not to place themselves in the position of violating the spirit of the law while observing the letter of it.
 Former Ambassador James w. Ger ard, former secretary of state Robert Lansing. Henry Morgenthau, at one time ambassador to Turkey and Lieut.. Governor Harry Walker have been under consideration by the leaders for the designation as candidate for sena- tor.
 Frank H. Mott of Jamestown will be chosen temporary chairman and will deliver a keynote address tomor- row and John K. SaSue of Pough- keepsie will be permanent chairman.

Marion. O.. Aug. "A prediction that Irish sympathizers will support Harding and Coolidge was made by Representative William E. Mason of Illinois. one of the leaders of the con- grssional fight for Irish recognition. in a statement today after he had conferred with the nominee.
 Friends Of Ireland, of course. have to be for Harding" the statement said. because they know what article x of the league covenant means-it would hitch Ireland to England fore ever and bind to help keep it there., and Governor Cox has pledged himself to support the Wilson program"
 Senator Harding began work today on his second front porch speech which he will deliver Wednesday to a delegation of republicans from Wayne county. Ohio. It will be one of two such speeches he will make here dur ing the week. the other being ar ranged for Thursday before the class in school administration from Ohio State university.

HAD LONELY TRIP
Scientists Figure Out Lusitania Life- belt, Found in Delaware, Passed Through Many Seas.

Philadelphia. Aug. 2.-Scientists are greatly interested in the probable route followed by the Lusitania life belt recently picked up in the Del aware river off one of the city piers in the center of Philadelphia. They estimate it travelled from 12.000 to 15.o00 miles and required more than five years in its journey.
 The Lusitania was torpedoed off the Irish coast on May ', 1915. lily drographers figure that the belt went through the Irish Sea and around the north of Scotland. down through the North Sea and the English Chan mel: down to coast of France and Spain and Africa. There the cur rent bore it across the Atlantic. En- tering the Gulf stream. it was car ried north. It escaped from this current and drifted to the Delaware capes. Probably the propeller of a steamship caught it up at the capes and brought it up the Delaware. When found afioat it was 100 miles up the river from the capes.
 The lifebelt was covered with barnacles. When these were scraped off the name of the Lusitania was found and easily deciphered.

SCHOOL OPENS SEPTEMBER eth

The fall session of the Dillon
Schools will open Tuesday, September
11h. Prof. Roberts has been at home
for the past week making arrange
ments for the opening day. There is
great shortage Of teachers every
where this year, and many towns and
cities are experiencing considerable
difficulty in filling vacancies. Prof.
Roberts has been very successful in
his efforts to fill vacancies. He has
a full corps of teachers who have had
considerable experience in the work
and the faculty will be much stronger
this year. He is finding difficulty,
however, in getting places for the
teachers to stay. The boarding
houses are full and he is unable TO
secure places for eight of the teachers.
The only hope is 10 find places for
them in private homes, and the citi-
zens of Dillon will have TO come to-
gether and open up their homes to
the teachers until they can secure
board at other places. There are a
number of large homes in Dillon with
extra rooms and it is hoped the teach
ers can be placed in some of these
homes. Prof. Roberts will be glad to
hear from any one who can help out
in this emergency.
Following is a list of the teachers
fer the next session:
Superintendeut-W. D. Roberts,

FERTILIZER MEN TO
VISIT DILLON.
Sixty Statesmen Lett New Orleans
Sunday for Visit Through Pee
Dee Section.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 23-Sixty
fertilizer statesmen of Louisiana, Tex
as, Arkansas and Mississippi, left
here Sunday en- route to Florence, S.
c. where they are TO take short
course in soil fertility and make
tour of the surrounding territory to
investigate the methods employed in
fertilizing and cultivating crops.
This school is being held under the
suspices of Soutrern Soil improve
ment committee with headquarters
in Atlanta and Shreveport, La. In
stead Of having the short course in
the West as heretofore. the fertiliz-
er statesmen have asked that the
course be given in South Carolina in
order that they might study the uses
of fertilizers in a region where they
are used in the greatest abundance,
and with the largest returns to the
farmer.
1t is the purpose to hear lectures
from the soil improvement committee
staff for two days at Florence, and to
spend two or three days in automo-
bile tours of the farms in Florence,
Darlington, Dillon and Marlboro
counties. On this trip they will be in
personal charge of Prof. J. N. Har-
per, former director OF the South
Carolina experiment Improvement
comm work.
This school and excursion is for
Western statesmen only. In September
salesmen's school for South Caro-
lima fertilizer statesmen will be held
in Charleston under joint auspices Of
Censor college and the Southern soil
improvement committee.
The Western party is in charge Of
Z. X. Huey of New Orleans and J. II.
Sinclair of Shreveport and in the par
~ are some Of the agricultural col
lege workers of the Western territory
who have been asked 10 take part
in the program.
