$10,000 PRIZE FILM TO BE 811OWN HERE "The Sequel to the Diamond from the Sky" lrings ta Picture of (are In. terest. A Smashing Action Story. "Tile Sequel to The Diamond from the Sky" and the remarkable drama, "The lianond from the Sky", which inspired it, constitute together the longest film drama over produced. "The Sequel" is to be presented \t~ere at the Opera 1louse Tuesday the 19tl. There were sixty reels in "The -1)ia m(nd from the Sky" and there Mare eight reels in "The Sequel." ''his means that there are 68,000 feet of lWin in the two productions, nearly twice the length of illm used in any pre'vious ('hapter play. There never has been a play which contained so many distinct episodes as did "The l)ianond from the Sky", though "'The Sequel" contains more in proportion. In Judging the merits of "''ho ila mond from the Sky" the Judges ap- I lled the acid test, which Is the test for action. They began checking upl the startling episodes in "Ti'he I)ia mend" and found that it literally bristled with tham. Every chapter of the McCardell play: hag about twenty smashing episodes' that pulled it completely out of the mire of mediocrity encompassing so many of the offerings. The wisdom of applying modern limo Lion picture standards to the selec lion for prize winning anmuscripts was completely Justified by the result. it' is certain that no more popular chap ter play ever was screened than "The Diamond from the Sky." . In judging manuscripts from which "The Sequel to The Diamond from the Sky" was -selected, the same rules were applied. The result is a play which grips and holds attention from the curtain to the close. "The Sequel to The Diamond from the Sky" throughout its four chapters, is a constant thrill. It is a melodrama -mtade for the screen and not an adap - tation. For this and for other reasons later to be revealed to the spectator, "The Sequel" is the most sensational screen story ever put together. $ * $ * S * $' $ * $ * $ * $ 1A1D1EN NEWS. * - * ** * * * * * * * * * * * Madden, Dec. 1'2.-From the da' just written we are all reminded ti' Christmas is nearly here again.

Clemson college, Dec. 8.-That the lower section of South Carolina will be Invaded by the boll weevil next suml mt r, athough not in suflicient numbers to do atny great amount of damage, is the statement made by Prof. A. Ih. C'onradi, State entomologist. The wee vil is now witbin fifteen miles of the state line, and Barnwell will probably bse. the first county entered by the pest. Although it is conceded that the Weevil will reach the State ntext year, it is not thoight that any greaf damage will result before the season of 1919 or possibly 1920. That the Piedmont section will not -be reached for some two or three years after the lower part of the state, was also the opinion of Prof. C'onradi. The progress of the weevil since It first entered the United States in 1893 has never been successfully checked. The only conditions .that govern the weevil, stated Prof. Conradi, are tem perature and moisture. Therefore, al though the weevil will undoubtedly en ter all sections of the State and must be contended with, it is pointed out that the rainfall in that section of the State above Columbia is such that the weevill will never be the serious fac tor it is elsewhere. In the months of untle, July and August the amount of rainfall determines the success or fail ure of the crop. In an ordinary dry year the farmers of the Piedmont can make cotton despite the weevil. In other words, only about once in 38 years will the conditions prevail in the Piedmont so as to render the cul tivation of cotton unprofitable. Below Columbia, the chances are that it will be as severe as has been the case in the lowlands of Louisiana. Intelligent farming and diversification, however, will reduce the damage to a minimumll as has been proved elsewhere. Another thing to guard against Just at this time is the fact that there are about 1,500 species of beetles in South Carolina, any of which the farmer ight readily call the boll weevil. Al though it is barely possible that an oc casional weevil might be many miles in advance of the main horde, it is al together unlikely, therefore, in the words of Prof. ('onradi, "any one thinking they have found a weevil in the State should remember that the chances are about 1.199 to I that it iS soime other insect, one that does ab solutely no damage to cotton." Any one finding an insect that is suspected of being a .lexican holl weevil should first send it to the State entomologist before an noiincing that a weevil has been found. If this rule Is adhered to lutch that might canse a depression in) the p~ric'e of land., would be avoid ed.

PTe farmers ill manyl sectlins of tile west htave learnled to tighlt tile ilest by destroying all har'bor'ing places and ar'e nlOW m~akin~g cotton inl spite of tile presen01ce of thle weevil, inl conclusion, Prof. Conradi urges that no 0one becomle panic-sticken. if every one will 1101( thoir confi dence, adapt thlemselves to tile new11 conditions and keelp up trade an~d ct'edit thte outlook nee2d not be a dark 01ne. In1 mlany sectIons of I ouisiana the greatest damage was done nlot by the boll weevil bult b~y the people themselves, becoming absolutely de mor'alized. in man~ly instances no of fort was made to cultivate tile in fested area, business came to a standl~ still and lands wer'e offer'ed for' almost nothling. Thle people of Southi Car'o linla, especially those residing in the Piedmlont, have ever'y adlvantage in the comning conflict. Unlike thle far'm ors of '1lexas, thereO has beenl ant ample time that the weevil mullst evenltutally reachl South Carolina and those who are wise will be prepiared for' its comn 1ing.

During 1913 and~ 1911, after ('oil ed thle average was,$94,884,472. The commission in fuirfiier speak iIg of chllnges inl agr'icultural mlethl 'ods, says: Tile most strecessful farmers utnderl 'boil weevil conditions will taise all provlsions, keel) out of debt, and eul tatcotn by improved methods on a restricted area of the best lands. That the one crop system has failed Is evidenced by the poverty of a large per cent of our agricultural people after fifty years under such a system. Our farmers shottld be made to nl dlerstand that intelligent diverslfica tion and proper rotation of crops is - sound economy and the best remedy for boll weevil conditions. Under sich conditions, it is absolutely neces sary that the cot ion planter establish a system of rotation that will in a large measure keep up the supply of nitrogen. Cotton should always fol low a su mmer legume, such as cow peas, soy beans or velvet beans. The effect. of these legumes will be to force the cotton to early fruiting, and this -is essential in lighting the boll weevil. 'Thes following rotation is recot mended: F'irst year: cotton. Second year: corn, with soy beans, cowpeas, or velvet. beans. Third year: grain-the grain to be cut off and the land to be planted in peas; the peas to be cut off for hay or turned under in the fall prepara tory to a second cotton crop. In addition to the crops mentioned in this rotation, many climatic condi tions are favorable and where suit able markets are accessible, tobacco, soy beans, sweet potatoes, Irish pota toes, tomatoes, watermelons, canta 1lupes and various other truck crops can be profitably raised. There are many sections of our State where fruit growing can be profitably engag ed in. To properly uitilize all of the pro ducts produced on the farm by the proper system of diversification, it. is necessary to raise live stock. The keeping of live stock, especially dairy Every farmer should raise his own mules. The raising of beef cattle is also profitable if land Is cheap and pasturage can be had. The same Is true of sheep. In the northern sec tion of our state where much of the land is too steep to cultivate, these side lines of farming should be found profitable. For the small farmer no form of live stock is more profitable than hogs. Pork can be produced cheaper in the South than in the North, especially where proper grazing crops are grown. , More attention should be paid by ottr farmers to poultry in the way of having better breeds and giving them more intelligent care. i l n irmi"le pa rison of' 1 tha itlh )ilut There Arc TwoVw ThereI'( ar ony ttI' wo woi't 'lin ieil fi' lllyaV X hai Th'Ie e'irst way is to h< tion1 of I his v'oice'-or inst r ance'Q---on the New'~ I'lisol tie ini its repr~todntetio 111lI formtla n1e' t o giv~e yont a Ii'rt it differs from any and all ftiat talking machintes give A I ion of an artist while the IN ly ite-creates thte art ist's( I G;reat atrtists have stoh~ I'. lisoni and hav1 e sunlg-or comiti sonii51 wIth it. .\ote t hani 20)0,0001 mullsic aitd hteardo these (complarilsol ilttrly uniable to (listintguishi pterformtancte fr'om 10dison's 1 IterforlimaniCe.

She says further: "Before I began to use Cardul, my back and head would hurt so bad, I thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework, as well as run a big water mill. I wish every suffering woman would give CADU The oman's..Tunic' a trial. I still use Car ' ien I feel a little bad, and it always me good." Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness, tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman's tonic.
