Backed by a soil whose fertility and
adaptability to a wide diversity of,
crops is exceeded by no other in the!
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. The South in the future will
not look to the West for their stock

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. Some of this truck is
bought direct from the producers by t
dealers who in turn ship to northern

of adequate educational facilities, the J
citizens of Cades some four years ago j
voted $8,500 for the purpose of con-i
strutting a modern school ounaing
with the latest appointments anil

building which houses the Cades
school today is an impressive demonstration
of the educational zeal of the
community. Miss Margaret Graham
is principal of the school and is ably
assisted by Misses Dora and May
Graham, all of whom are competent
and experienced teachers and under
whose direction the school has made
gratifying progress.

Cades has two churches?Baptist

large and earnest congregation. Rev. i
J. A. Turner, of Florence, is pastor of (
the Baptist church and has accom-1

the community. A move is now un-!

consummation, to erect a new Baptist'
church which will in every way rep-1

endeavors will be dedicated. It is also |

himself reeently in the course

Anderson was trying to obtain infornation
as to the mine operators at;itude
toward the United Mine Work?rs
of America.
"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.

the fact that Trunko was married,
had five children, owned his own home
and an automobile.
"I tell you," said Judge Anderson,
after he had been given this
information, "working conditions will
have to be improved for this man.
Why gentlemen, l can naraiy restrain
my emotion when I think of the con- *

Directions for the Care of Leather
1
Do not apply water, oil, soap, kerosene,
naptha, alcohol, varnish or furniture
polish. If dusty or dingy,
dust or wipe lightly with a feather
duster, dry soft cloth or chanjois.
When thoroughly free from dirt and
dust, take % pint of sweet milk and
the white of an egg. Mix and beat
thoroughly and apply with a very
soft, clean cotton rag or cotton waste
without friction. This dressing should
keep the leather looking nice for
months with ordinary care when it
may be repeated.
