Harding Sentiment Strong.
It is surprising, in some respects,
to see the way the Harding sentiment
has swept the state since the NOM
ination. The only criticism Of him,
as heard where the rank and file
gather, is that he is not quite agrees
sive enough to meet critical situa-
ton.

Massachusetts will vote. Though no.
body expects that the old-time re-
publican plurality will prevail, such
as the 100000 margin given Taft
over Bryan in 1908, or the $4,000
plurality, figuring the combined Taft
and Roosevelt vote against Wilson

Nobody is able. to estimate the

position that Cox is more moist than

there would be greater hope of a
modification Of the Volstead act, the

CQX'S ACTION AWAITED
IN THE KEYSTONE STATE

speeial Dispatch to The Star.
HARRISBURG, Pa, July 17.-Selec-
ton of democratic candidates for
presidential electors in Pennsylvania,
the. second largest group in the cleo
totAl college. is being awaited
Throughout the keystone state with
the greatest interest, because it will
show to what extent Gov. James NJ
Cox is going to intrust his campaign
in s,Pennsylvania to his friends and
how much the democratic organiza-
tio& is to do. With few exceptions,
this, Pennsylvania delegates had no
favors for Cox until late ballots at
san Francisco. and the unyielding at
tit5ide of some of the Palmer leaders
brought criticisms which have been
echoed in this state.
Palmer and his friends control the
machinery of the state organization
absolutely. but the promptness with
witch National Committeeman Joseph
F. Euffey and some others established
relations with the Cox managers and
the nominee will smooth the way,
and Franklin d. Roosevelt is counted
upon to aid any Palmer leaders who
may need help.
The state organization will support
Cox. and if il is on the job il can pick
upsmany votes which are inclined to
DRIFT because of the liquor issue. But
it Should not be forgotten that the
Palmer organization. under the per-
soRal leadership of the Attorney Cen
eral, repudiated the democratic nomi-
neg for Governor of Pennsylvania two
years ago and accused him of being
allied with certain wet" interests.
1t Ss more likely that the Palmer or
ga3lZation will line up for the ticket
but the next few years will probably

COLORED SCHOOL
NEARS BIRTHDAY
Americas Institute Seeks
To Raise $4,000,
Badly Needed

The white friends of Americas In
stitute, Sumter county's only negro
high school, are to be called upon
to assist the colored people through
out this section in raising $4,000.
badly needed by the. institution, as
a sort of birthday gift in celebra-
ton of its 23rd anniversary, which
will fall October 2.
Americas Institute will be % years
old on that day. The Southwestern
Baptist Association which owns the
institution, will be so years old about
the same date.
This association consists of about
80 negro Baptist churches in south
western Georgia. 1t is the purpose
of the association to celebrate it's
5Oth anniversary and the 23rd ami
versary of Americas Institute from
September % to October 1, 1920.
A financial campaign has been
launched to raise $4,000 among the
friends of the institution with which
to make some needed improvements
upon the school plant; to make sub
stantial payment upon the school
farm, and otherwise to increase the
efficiency of the institution.
The General Education Board has
offered $4,000 toward the improve
ments of the school plant on condi-
ton that the friends of the institu-
ton raise an equal amount. Since
Americas Institute has furnished all
the high school education offered to
negroes in Sumter county and sur
rounding counties for all these years,
and since it has proved its worth and
established its right to exist as
prominent progressive institution, it
purposes to make an appeal to all
the citizens of this section of the
state, white as we'll as colored to
help IN raising this $4,000.
The institution within the last
year purchased a farm just outside
the city limits to the northeast which
is being cultivated this year and
which will not only practically sup
ply the dormitory Of the institution
with food throughout the school year
from this time forward, but will
afford demonstration farm for the
practical study of agriculture by the
boys attending the school.
The Times-Recorder will tell some
of the details of this school farm
shortly.
