( THURSDAY, FEB. 27. 1913 BURGLARS AT CADES. Mr. E. H. Carsten's Store Robbed Another Attempt Frustrated. 1 Cades,February 24:?Bad weather has very much retarded the farmers ! just now, when it is almost time to j plant beans. The Bland Live Stock company of ' Mayesville has opened a branch here and will do a general sales, livery and feed business. This addition j gives Cades two livery and sales ^ stable}. We welcome all business enterprises. Mr Coker is manager of the new firm. Burglars again visited Cades Saturday night. They entered Mr Ei H 1 Carsten's store by breaking a pane 1 from a side window some ten f?et | from the ground and rummaged ;he 1 11 shoe department, taking two shoes ' ? one No 6, tan, and one No 9, kid ?leaving one of each for the owner to do the best he could with. They also stole some jewelry and cigars and left the clothing strewn around. At the Cades Mercantile Co's store they cut the screen out of * a rear window and broke the sash at the lock, but Mr McElveen, who sleeps in the building, heard the disturbance and, rushing to his win- L dow, fired, whereupon the would-be v burglars left without further notice. Mr and Mrs?Chandler of Salter3 were here Saturday and Sunday vis:iting relatives. Mr H E Nettles of Scranton has accepted a position with the W I v Hodges Co, at this place.

Foreman ol Grand Jury Asks Light on Certain Matters. j .Tndce Ernest Garv onened the court of general sessions at Kingstree on Monday morning bv congratulating the grand jury and Williamsburg county, commenting upon the fact that it is indeed a rare occasion to meet a full panel of grand jurors, j In charging the grand jury, his Honor mentioned that it afforded him a unique pleasure to preside over the court in Williamsburg county.in that the ' >nes of his ancestors bleached in it^ soil, some of them having lived and died in this county; that among his earliest lessons in geography were those learned at the knee of his grandmother, as she told him of the beauties of eld Black river and the reason for the color of its waters. In Commenting on the growth of Kingstree, commercially and other wise, his Honor indicated that the j growth in crime had apparently kept pace with its other growth, as the! Solicitor had handed out more bills i of indictment than at any court since i his Honor had been coming to Kingstree. The usual business of the court i, was abruptly interrupted on Wed- ! nesday when Mr J J M Graham, , foreman of the grand jury, asked the court's attention to certain mat- ] ters,stating at that time that he pre- j ferred securing the information in ] open court rather than pursuing the j usual channels. Mr Graham inquired j < first, why an indictment had not been presented for Ward and Matthews, charging them with shooting one Holland at Cades about Christmas time; why a bill of indictment had not been preferred against the parties who plead guilty to assaulting and whipping a negro detective, late of this county, and in the employ of the towrbof Kingstree. Mr Giraham said further that a certain lady had appeared before the ?rand jury,stating that a certain al' * /-1-- 1 + n egea omcer 01 uitr i?w uau tuiuc j ler home in the county, alleging , :hat he had come to arrest her; that ( >he inquired of him for the warrant. ( fte replied, saying that he had no ( warrant, "battered down the door, f vent in and shot the lady in the t irm. That she had applied to a mag- ? strate of the county and had been . efused redress for the violation of ^ ler rights. Judge Gary promptly | id vised the grand jury that the Soicitor and all the officers of the ourt and county were subject to y heir command, and he suggested hat the grand jury make original resentments of_all matters brought f o their attention, which had not ^ een presented by the Solicitor, and ^ ip congratulated the grand jury ;, ~ " II ;pon its apparent earnestness in the e pork for which it was empaneled. a - b COURT PROCEEDINGS. d v i Heavy Criminal Docket?Some h Cases Disposed of. t The court of general sessions con- ^ Mnnrlau Tnrlnro Rrn^st flsrv 1 CIICU 1I1VUUUJ I V WVI^V *?vwv | j residing, and Solicitor Stoll and a Itenographer Wood at their re- 3 pective posts of duty. 1< The following cases were disposed f: The State against John Montgomry.for house-breaking and larceny, ound guilty"of petty larceny.

Scranton, February 25:?Some of our boys at college are "fussing" i j because they look in "The Record" | and find nothing from here, but.; ; boys, we have been too busy to write i I the happenings recently. The graded .school is progressing tine under the management of Prof Anderson ami his efficient corps of ; teachers. This is Prof Anderson's, thir l year as principal of the school,! ! which speaks well for him. He has been the means ^f gettinj several J prominent speakers here this school _ ; term, whose names have been men- j tioned in this paper lately. ^ Rev J VV Truluck filled his ap- ^ pointment at the Baptist church Sun- s day morning at 11:00 a. m. His S subject was "The Resurrection," > which he expounded in an eloquent } and lorcerui manner. ^ "Farmer John" is busy preparing > land and hauling fertilizers. The \ land is too wet to plow now and long { trains are coming and going all day \ hauling the "mortgage-lifting"stuff. \ From the way it is being hauled a S great amount of fertilizer will be % used this year. * J Instead of digging and burning > stumps, our farmers are blowing > them out with dynamite. The"boom" \ may be heard all times of the day. N Our farmers are waking up and tak- S ing hold of improved methods. S we nave two more stores in town, j Messrs R L Lee and B B Myers & S Co. Mr Lee occupies the Singletary L store and the Myers Company is installed in the Cusaac store. We welcome them in town and wish for them success. "The more the merrier," is realized here now. Mr ? Malone, a salesman with the W Wright Co, spent Sunday in Lake City. Miss Estelle Co ward,stenographer >for the same firm, spent Sunday in Kingstree with her parents. Mr Snow Kirby's wife was taken to a hospital in Charleston last week. Rpnnrt.<s sav she is crettine on nicely. We hope for her speedy recovery. The new Baptist church, which is under construction, is progressing slowly on account of lack of material, but work has begun again and we hope soon to see this beautiful house of worship completed.
