Federal Judge Sustains Venezuelan's
Habeas Corpus Writ.

New York, Feb. 15.-Cipriano Cas-
tro is free to come and go in this
country at will. Judge Ward, in the
Federal District Court this after
noon, sustained the writ Of habeas
corpus in his behalf overruling the
immigration authorities.
Castro has been out on bail for
some time pending a decision in the
case. The Government bitterly op-
posed the entrance OF the former
Venezuelan President on the ground
that he was an undesirable, in that he
refused to answer certain questions
concerning the internal affairs of
Venezuela, and the murder Of Gen.
Paredes, political opponent.
The special board of inquiry at Ell
lis Island first refused him admit
tance, a decision which was affirmed
by the department of commerce and
labor Gen Castro then carried his
case into the Courts.
Gen Castor said tonight that what
ever else he might do he planned to
be in Washington for the Inaugural
tion on March A.
1T is my intention said the gen.
eral, "and / hope to carry it out, to
attend the Inauguration of President
Wilson, and | trust that neither bust
ness or other interests will prevent
my being present at that time"
Regarding his immediate move
ments the former Venezuelan eXecu-
tive declared he had no definite plans.
He would likely remain in New York
for time and eventually probably
travel extensively about the country,
he said.

MINISTER'S ENDORSE WORK.
Association OF Ministers Emphasizes
Need for Carrying on Civic League
Work

The Sumter Ministerial Association
at its meeting February re-empha-
sized their hearty sympathy for the
work OF the Civic League of the city
In its efforts to minister to the poor
in our midst. They deplored the lack
or substantial public support which
the work receives. They declared
themselves ready to cooperate with
the Civic League in efforts to arouse
greater practical interest in this work
In view Of the generous public
spirit OF our people in other directions
in the past the association feels that
they will be equally ready to rally
to the support Of the Civic League
when once their attention has been
called to the need and some practical
methods Of help have been suggested
Let 1t never be said Of our people
that the cry Of the unfortunate ones
among us fell on deaf or Indifferent
ears. This has not been true in the
past. We do not believe it will be
true in the future. To prevent this
there must be more general and sub
stantial giving to the support Of the
Civic League.

Secretary Sumter Ministerial Associa-
ton.

Early Vegetables Pay Best.

by starting our plants in hot

demand is greatest, and when We
can dispose of them at the highest

the weather mild, find that they Will
have more vegetables than are need

are able To sell this surplus at very
