STOCK FARM TO
GROW NO COTTON
Walter Bell To Operate
III Acre Tract Near
Amerlcus

Another Sumter county farm will
be operated next season on a no.
cotton basis, it was announced yes
terday by Walter Bell, son of E. L.
Bell, who has recently returned from
Lakeland, Fla, and will devote his
terests here. For some time Mr..
Bell, who took special training at
the Florida University has been con-
nected with large citrus plantation
in citrus culture at Lakeland,
Fla, recently, in charge of spraying,
but will now have charge of III
acre farm miles out on the Smith
vile road recently acquired by his
father. This farm for some time
has been owned by IL negroes and
has been devoted to cotton almost
entirely Farming plans and meth
DDS will be reversed and no cotton
whatever will be planted, all activi-
ties being devoted to stock raising.
There will be no tenants on the
place.
1--WE will raise Duroc hogs at
first" said Walter Bell, "and later
add 100 head of Holstein and Jer-
sey cattle, to be followed by herd
of Shorthorn beef cattle. One of
my first tasks will be to clear about
80 acres of Muckalee swamp and
turn it into permanent pasture. In
addition, 25 acres of land already
cleared will go into permanent pas
ture, of lespadeza and carpet grass,
which will be planted this winter.
Corn, velvet beans and peanuts will
be grown for feed. The dairy cat
tie we expect to utilize for butter
for the market, the skim milk to
be used as hog feed. We will also do
trucking on a small scale, as demand
ed by the local markets. We have
already bought Ford truck for
hauling light products to town.
"a barn will be built at once and
the place otherwise improved, grad
usually. Later we hope to add small
cold storage plant and pack our own
pork, supplying the local and near
by markets as needed, thus betting
a better return from our hogs than
selling them on the hoof."
Stocking the farm will begin at
once, E. L. Bell sold his large farm
near Leslie several months ago, pos
session to be given Dec. 20 and the
stock will be transferred from it to
the new farm.
This place will be entirely IN
charge of W. L. Bell and E. L. Bell
will devote his farming attention to
rs acre farm he owns east of Am
CIRCUS a short distance.

LOUISE GLAUM IN sex.

"Do unto others as GU would have
them do unto you"
Adrienne Renault, divinity of the
Frivolity, never inclined toward this
theory for the simple reason that
she never could imagine herself sit
uated as other women.
Yet the eternal problem of "Sex''
became Adrienne's problem, too,
when fate so ruled, and this wonder
full creature of New York's night
life, this well-beloved of the most
favored men in Manhattan, found
herself as incapable of solving the
equation as the veriest novice in the
game of love.
''Sex'' is a story of universal i'm
port, being shown today at the
Alcazar Theater Yet in his treat
ment of this age-koung story, ]. Par
ker Read, Jr., the producer, has in
troduced an artistic elemtn of deli
cacy and nobility and scenic Law
ishness that lifts this screen play into
the realm of those fe wphotodramas
that have startled the world and have
reflected universal conditions that
can be remedied by only two medi,
clne-Faith and Consistency.
There is cleverly contrived mora
in Sex" for the quick-witted. The
climax comes in Adrienne's life when
her own husband is won away from
her by the same Daisy Henderson OF
Cobb Corners in whom she developed
the feminine arts of allure and the
dance in their DAYS in the Frivolity
together. 1t is then that Adrienne
lifts her hands to heaven and all the
tragedy of "Sex," all the fut,lty OF
a loveless woman's life and all the
poignancy of the severance Ct the
marriage relation are expressed ir
the heart-broken quesry:
"Oh God! Why did ghis have tt
happen to ME?"
What happened to Adr'enne? Die
she suffer further or win back the
love of the erring husband and "llve
happily ever after?" Did sac xii
Daisy Henderson when she had muir
der in her heart? Or did she wish
Daisy luck and move on to a new
conquest? Was Adrienna wicked OF
a good woman" or was she just
Woman? There are the questions
that sex" alone can answer. Louise
Glaum is supported by Irving Cum
mings, Myrtle Stedman, William
Conklin and Peggy Pearce.

it a short ways, leaving it turned up
side down and headed in the opposite
direction. The car was practically
demolished. One Of the suitcaSes
carried by the men was found up the
road about one hundred yards away.
At this point the path of the cy-
clone was about three-eighths of a
mile in width and the destruction OF
all timber and fences in the path was
complete. Fortunately, no homes
were harmed in this section, although
a few miles below. two negro houses
were totally wiped out, injuring nine
occupants, one of whom is expected
to ie. The condition of these home
less negroes was pitiful, but they
will. no doubt be looked after by
their neighbors.. Aside from this and
the great loss in timber. fences and
cribs which fell before the wind, no
reports of other damage has been re-
ceiVed TO date.
