TOMATO GROWERS To
NET $1,000 ON FIRST
YEARS CROP HERE
'Sumtermatoes' Already Ship
ped in CARROTS to Boston and
Chattanooga

Sumter county tomato growers
have to date slipped two cars Of
their product, one going to Boston,
Mass, and the other to Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, and each being ship
ped under the cooperative brand
'Sumtermatoes." The tomatoes, it
is said, made a favorablg impreNion
in the markets where they have
been placed on sale, and prospects
are bright now for building up a
profitable business in tomatoes in
this section. George o. Marshall,
county farm demonstration agent,
estimates now that farmers engaged
in growing tomatoes here will net
approximately $4,000 from their
yield this summer.
The growing of tomatoes was UNI
dertaken here as an experiment, at
the suggestion of George o Mar
shall and under auspices of the XII
wants club. Altogether total of
Ga acres were planted by farmers
near Americas, who agreed to cult
vate tomatoes as a commercial crop.
From this acreage two solids cars
have already been shipped as
above stated, with at least two other
carlot shipments to go forward this
week, A number of express snip
ments are also being sent forward
each day.
In CARROTS, the farmers received
$1.5O for the best grade tomatoes
fob. Americas, and with CORE
spending reductions in other grades,
The express shipments have
brought varying returns to the
growers, and a considerable revenue
has been realized by the tomato
men through the sale of tomatoes
in Americas in small lots at fancy
prices.

GOULD MILLIONS
AGAIN IN BALACNE.
Trustees of Big Estate May With
hold Heirs Portion Follow
ing His Marriage

NEW YORK, July 16.-Whether
Frank J. Gould is to keep his third
love at the cost of the millions he
inherited as his share of the great
Gould fortune rests now with the
cold legal mind of a court referee.
Each of the three times Gould
rolled Cupid's dice he staked half
of his fortune, for his fathers will
provided each heir must first obtain
the consent of majority of the
trustees before marrying. Violation
of the edict carried a penalty Of a
loss of half the inheritance.
Twice Frank obeyed the dictates
of his heart without consulting the
trustees and they took no action.
Maybe it was because the first two
wives were show girls, yet American
show girls. But the third and pres
ent wife is not only a show girl,
but French at that-Florence Al
Gaze.
Action in the courts here discioscs
that for two months Franks incoma
from his millions has been held up
under the will proyiso demanding
consent of a trustee majority before
marriage. Justice Platzek has re-
stored the income pending hear
ing of the entire case by a referee,
James O'Gorman.
Florence was divorced as a "but-
terfly" by Henry C. Heynemann, Of
Los Angeles some years before she
cought her second American.
Gould's previous wife was Edith
Kelly, whom he divorced in Paris
in 1919. The first wife was Heller
Margaret Kelly, now the Princess
Nourridin YlOra, of Albania,

the registrar. Eighteen hundred

The personnel Of the student
body is different in more than one
respect from that of former years
on account of changes which have
been made in the curriculum.
Eight sections Of primary and elc-
mentary review work were con-
Quoted in 1923 caring for over
four hundred students. Only two
sections of this class of work were

students above the high school
grade, including a greater number
of college students than were
present at any former session;
and in spite of the reduction in
elementary courses, the total reg
istration for 1924 is higher than
that of the preceding year up
