been moving freely within the past tel
days.

the chaingang into two, squads, 80 tina

This arrangement has been put in ef'

that Kings Mountain township has

Az the request Of the county chair
man the attention Of our readers Is
again called to the Various matters
considered by the executive committee
Of the York County Southern

ed in THE ENQUIRER Of that day. A
regular township meeting is fixed tc
be held at the largest prectnc,
therein, every Saturday at3 p. m. uIi-

self fixed some other. time and place
Again, II Is urged that the pledge fol
cotton acreage and fertilizer reduction
be signed as speedily as possible. to
the end that a complete list be pub
lished. And too, 1t Is insisted that
with like dispatch the subscriptions
for cotton holding be made at once, to
stand good only upon the condition
that the plan as finally adopted be ac-
ceptable as stated In the subscription
paper. The committee estimated that
5000 bales Is York's quota of the 2,
900, 900 bales desired to be withheld
from the market; and the idea Is to
ascertain now II 1t is possible to raise
said quota, to be nsed hereafter, pro-
vided a plan is perfected that Is en-
tirelv acceptable to each. subscriber
Blanks for each Of said subscriptions
are now in the hands Of the secretary
Of each township. and as suggested by
the committee much Of the necessary
canvassing for subscriptions along
these lines ought to be accomplished
at the regular township meetings,
with q view to saving expenses. An
other matter up. before the committee
was the appointment Of a board of
three local. directors In each town In
the county that markets at least 1000
bales of cotton annually, the said
board to be charged with securing a
warehouse at said town. AS soon as
the various boards are named by the
township organizations concerned. q
list will be published for the benefit OF
all concerned.
