CADES, S.C.
Se\t..ty-five miles north of Charleston
and thirty miles south of
Florence on the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad is the little hamlet of Cades.
We can not boast of manufacturing:
industries, but our natural resource
is our fertile soil. Agriculture is
our chief and only industry. Bui
as agriculture is the most essentia)
factor in the making of any great
commonwealth, any great country,
or any great community, we con
8ider we have that factor which if

at tne DOttom 01 an pruKressivicommunities.
Backed by our rich
soil we bid fair to develop into a
city worthy of any section of coun- i
try. 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

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

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

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

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<
