We can not boast of manufacturing: industries, but our natural resource is our fertile soil. Agriculture is our chief and only industry.

We have the brains, and it takes brain3 mixed with soil to produce bountiful crops, which are the source of wealth. ( One grower of this place last year t received $500 for the vegetables ] taken from one acre. Of course all acres are not so bountiful, but this j will give an idea of the productiveness of this soil. t During the cotton season the local buyers are anxious to such an extent 1 for growers to bring their cotton to Cades that they maintain the high- j est prices, even if at a loss. 1 v >r ' '> .

TWO CAR LO :>S BEAN J J >:-A KTS j J R. .rived. : I IIHill I Ml i i enal Agriculture. Our Chief Resource. Situated, as we are. in one of the most fertile sections of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, we have the community-sur P9rt that is essential in the growth of any town. From early spring until late autumn "our goodly" acres produce rich harvests, all of which, on account of their excellent quality, are readily convertible into cash. Vegetable!. We lead the Eastern coast of this State in the production of truck, chief among which are beans, peas, cabbages and cucumbers. Cades is the pioneer in the bean-growing in- j dustry. We were reaping profitable returns from our bean fields when other nearby points,which now grow beans, were raising them only in their gardens. Lettuce and peas are shipped as early as April, but by the first of May they give way to beans, our chief vegetable. Beans and cucumbers sometimes last until as late as June 30. The prices of course are much better in the eariy part of the season than at any other time. The 3eason this year is unusually late, the first shipment in beans being " if -m-i_ _L: _* 1? May to. inia suipwicut, uiuu^nt from $1.50 to $2.00,net,per package. Some of this truck is bought direct from the growers by dealers, svho ship to Northern produce merchants,while another part is shipped >n consignment by commission igents. Both the dealers and commission agents strive to maintain food prices, so as to encourage the /egetable industry and indirectly aid n the growth and development of :he town and community. It has >een estimated that there is an anlual shipment of 1,500 packages by express and 100 solid car-loads, confining anywhere from 100 to 350 jaskets, by freight, from Cades. As nany as 15 solid cars of beans have >een shipped from here in a single I I J J? *1 1_: 1 lay, resides me wupuicui ujr ca^cdo, Cotton. That this point is a strong and umparatively large cotton market is ubstantiated by the fact that last 'ear we shipped over three thousand ?les of cotton. At no time during he cotton season did the prices of* fered by this market fall as low as hose of nearby markets, and often his market was stronger even than *Jew York. Tobacco. Both the soil and the climate are favorably adapted to the growth and :ulture of tobacco, in which our armers engage extensively. But we lo not reap the benefits from this igricultural product that we should, >ecause at present there is no to>acco market at Cades. However, >lans are on foot which will probacy materialize in the construction >f a tobacco warehouse by the next eason. Our Churche*. We can boast of only two churches it Cades. But when our population s considered it will be seen that we >robably have more churches in prowrtion to the number of people than nany other towns. Rev L E Peeler is pastor of the fclethodist Episcopal church and relides at Cades. Mr Peeler has been lere only since the first of the present year,but during that time he has ihown himself to be a man of exceptionally high qualities and well iitted for the dignified service he s in. Rev W H Whitehead is pastor of ;he Baptist church and resides at Lake City.* He is a man of high Christian ideals, with a broad view )f life, and *s an unusually gifted speaker. Interest is being stimulated among the Baptists for a larger and better :hurch building. A large amount of the cost has already been subscribed by a number of loyal church supporters. Our School. The present needs of the school demand a buildiDg far superior to the one which we now have, which is a poorly constructed frame building, containing two class rooms, with cramped seating capacity. The lot upon which the building stands is entirely too small, not affording the proper play-ground, which is indispensable in the growth and proper development of young children. Seeing the need of radical changes snd improvements in regard to the school, the patrons and citizens of this school district expressed themselves on March 28th last at the polls, as in favor of issuing bonds in the sum of $8,500.00 for the purpose of constructing a modern school building. Since that time the trustees of the school have been indefatigable in their efforts to push Grc si Public School Building Nc this issue to completion; keeping c always in mind the welfare of the t entire community; sacrificing any a personal interests which they might b have had and thereby meeting the b demand and desires of the citi- b zenship. Furthermore, they have n resolved to spare no efforts in the a selection of a suitable and spacious a site upon which to place this impos- c ing structure. i< The sale of the bonds has practi Ill 0II s^an(^ai H I || K ness ha I Ijl M 11 we are> AND i nui pricesf I II In has ma< " whattl "Rn+Vi frcarlp at fVns JL/VVX1 UlUUV IAV V111U are welcome as the C.
