VEST VIRGINIA SEAT IN SENATE
 IS GOAL OF SIX

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Aug. A. Five candidates seek the Republican nomination for United States Sena- tor in the West Virginia primary tomorrow.
 The winner of that contest will be opposed at the November election | by former United States Senator M. M. Nicely, who is unopposed for the Democratic nomination. Nicely was defeated for reelection in 1928 by Sen. Henry D. Hatfield. The Republican candidates are James Ellwood Jones, coal opera tor; Albert B. White, former Gov ernor: Benjamin L. Rosenbloom, former Congressman; Judge Harry Shaw of Marion County Circuit Court and c. Lewis Wilson.
 The Republican contest, precipi- tated by the decision of Senator Guy D. Golf to retire, has been largely one of candidates rather than or issues.
 Geographical location of the as- pirants has been among the issues since Senator Hatfield comes from the southern section of the State. With the exception of Jones, the Republican candidates are from the northern part.
 Both parties also will nominate candidates for West Virginia's six seats in the House of Representa- tives. The present Congressmen, four Republicans and one Democrat are unopposed.
 Three Republicans and four Dem- ocrats are in quest of the party nomination for the seat of the late Rep. James A. Hughes, Republican, Fof the Fourth District.
 Fifteen state senators-half the membership of that chamber of the legislature--will be nominated along with all 94 members of the House of Delegates.

LONDON, Aug. IA series OF
gorgeous waterfalls never before
seen by an European, and practi-
cally unknown to natives, has been
discovered in South Africa by Far
quhar B. Macrae of the northern
Rhodesian civil service, and de-
scribed by him in a report to the
Royal Geographic Society.
One of the falls is 200 feet in
height, thirty-three feet higher than
Niagara Falls, and rivals in beauty
the famous Victoria falls, which are
abotu twenty miles distant. This
fall, however, is only one of a Sc
ries following each other in rapid
succession so that the total effect is
that of much greater drop, total
ing 1874 feet. They are known to
the natives as the Chiengkwasi falls
and are on the Chunga river. which
empties into the zambeSi. 1t is on
the zambesi river that the Victoria
falls are located.
