State, the town of Cades, situated ten miles from Kingstree on the main line of the Atlantic Coast Line, has in re-: cent years made progress that speaks i well for the community endeavor of J its citizens in the past and promises even greater things of the future. The interests of its citizens being' chiefly agricultural, it is in this com-1 mu.iity that the most interprising jmd j enlightened farmers are found. These! men have made a pronounced success | at fanning as it has been conducted j in the past and as it will soon be con-! ducted no more, owing to the fact that1 in the future the effect of the boll | weevil will be marked in all farming , operations.? The destructive advance of this1 lies', however, does not dismay the i progressive people of this wi He-a wake | community. Prosperity?greater than was ever dreamed of?has followed in i the wake of the boll weevil in other States, which is an assurance that it is freighted with no peril to the in ' ...u? xerests ox must- iai mcio nuV vaivtU> , ly appraise the situation and confirm ; to its requirements. The soil around Cades, as is indeed j that of the whole of Williamsburg; county, is of such formation that any j crop grown in the temperate zone can i be produced abundantly and profita-1 bly. Situated in the heart of the great Palmetto tobacco belt, the growth of the leaf enriches its producers year by year. Its possibilities in the production of foo<l and feed stuffs, which, after all, are the essentials since it is these things alone that i sustain life, are unlimited. Such crops ! as corn, grains, velvet beans, grasses, * peanuts, etc., will be cultivated more extensively each year as the ravages of the boll weevil increase. This means that some of the best brains of the community will be linked "rith adequate capital in the pro-1 motion of the live stock and cattl^ in-1 dustry.

Trucking has already proved a profitable industry around Cades and its further extension is assured. Indeed, it might be said that Cades is a pioneer in the production of beans, with many acres yearly devoted to the growth of cabbage, cucumbers, peas, and lettuce.

Federal Jurist Gets Information From Two Defendants in His Indiana j Court i Mine operators and mine workers: appear to be in "cahoots to bleed the public" in the opinion of Judge A. B. Anderson of the United States district federal court at Indianapolis, Ind. Judge Anderson, who ordered the rescinding of the strike order, expressed himself reeently in the course of examination of Alonzo Newcomb, a miner. Newcomb was before the court on a charge of illegal sale of liquor.

"Doesn't it seem that you are all n a conspiracy to milk tne pudiic ; Judge Anderson asked. Newcomb said the mine workers ire paid only 84 cents a ton for the :oal they mine while they have to pay the operators $2.20 a ton for that coal in top of the mine and business have to haul it themselves. "Ought not all of you come down ill around?" Judge Anderson asked, ind Newcomb said: "I guess you are right." "Isn't it true that you say the mine operators get so much that you want part of their profits?" persisted the judge. Newcomb said this also seemed to be the case whereupon Judge Anderson remarked that it appeared as though both factions in the coal trouble were in cahoots to bleed the public. Newcomb said he averaged about $6 a day as a 'coal digger and had made as much as $10 a day. He said his last pay check called for $82.27 for 14 days' work, but that about $18 had to be taken but of it for powder and other, expenses owed the mine operators. When asked why he did not return to work inasmuch as the mines were open and the government would afford protection Newcomb Jjaid: "Yourjionor, it woula be all my life would be worth to start back to lifework. I wouldn't last long, don't expect." Joe Trunko, Hungarian coal miner, also araigned before Judge Anderspn on a charge of violating the Reed amendment, said he did not know about the injunction forbidding the strike. "When they cancelled the strike order in here they had their fingers crossed didn't they?" asked Judge Anderson. "I think so," the defendant replied.
