State Superintendent Under Rock
Hill Plan Issues Instructions 10
County CanvaSscrs.

The following instructions have
been issued by Mr.. j. G.. Anderson.
State superintendent under the Rock
Hill Plan for the reduction Of cot
ton acreage in the South. Mr.. O'Don-
nell the county chairman for Sumter
county has issued the same instruc-
tions to his canvassers and they will
lie Of interest to the public generally
in order that those planting cotton
may know what information will be
requested of them when they are
visited by the canvassers:
1. In every case of a man signing
for reduction fill out both blanks
showing number of acres planted last
year and number he will plant this
year. His pledge is no good other
wise. Don't put down how much he
will plant "to the plow." That gives
no information to those not knowing
how many plows he's going to run.
2. Report the names and address
es of those declining to sign to the
county chairman.
8. Get each planter to sign up for
as much reduction as possible. To
strengthen prices it will be necessary
to have an actual reduction Of acre
age and the more reduction the bet
ter.
4. Report to your county chair
man the names of those who pledge
themselves individually to reduce,
and who will then rent or share-crop
their land to others who will plant it
in cotton. To beat the bears in this
fight there must be no beating the
devil around the bush. Real reduc-
ton is necessary.
). Let the pledge blank when you
send it in show in the case of every
signer how many acres he planted
last year and how many he will
plant this year. If he signs to plant
the same, or more. let that appear.
6. Do your work thoroughly. See
every cotton grower in your terri
tory. Get as many names as pos
sible. The pledges of the big plant
ers are the most important. though
the small ones are vital also, as they
count so much because they are so
numerous.
]. G.. Anderson.
State Superintendent.

MUCH COTTON COMING IN.
More Cotton Coming i'm Now Than
Usually at This Season of The
Year.

The merchants are still buying cot
ton every day, for whereas usually
at this time in the year there is very
little cotton handled except in lots
which have been held back from the
market, now farmers, both big and
little, are bringing cotton to town
every day.
Last week the sales approximated
something over 200 bales a day and
from the amount which has come in
so far this week 1t seems that there
will be even larger average than
last week. The cotton is not coming
in only from farmers from this coun-
ty and the country Immediately sur
rounding Sumter, it is also being
shipped in from neighboring points,
cften from other counties and points
more than twenty-five miles off. 1t
seems that the Sumter market can.
or does, do better by the farmers
than the market at some other points
and the farmers are always anxious
to sell where they can get the best
price being paid, and where 1t is to
their advantage to sell.
A great deal of cotton Coming in
now is the blue cotton which has
been picked out recently, after be-
ing in the fields during the bad
weather of December and some of
that Of January. The price for his
cotton has gone up about a cent a
pound and the farmers are now SELL
ing il rapidly.

Conference of High School Teachers.

On Friday evening the 23rd Of
February and Saturday the oath
there will be held in this city a
conference Of the high school teach
ers Of the counties of Clarendon,
Lee. Richland, and Sumter. The sew
eral meetings will be presided over
by Prof. w. II. Hand of the Uni
versity who is inspector of high
schools for the State Of South Caro-
lima.
The teachers of the public schools
of the city have undertaken TO pro-
vide for the entertainment Of the
visiting teachers and a committee Of
teachers has been appointed to make
all necessary arrangements. 1t is
sincerely hoped that the committee
Of which Mr.. w. NJ. Scott is chair
man. may have no difficulty in plac-
ing these visitors in Sumter's hos
pitable homes.

WORK ON FREIGHT YARD.
Laying of Tracks TO Start Some
Time Next Week Probably.
j. G.. Anderson,
State superintendent.

The greater part of the grading on
the Atlantic Coast Line new freight
yards has been completed and it is
probable that the laying of the new
tracks out in this part Of town will
be commenced some time next week
At present all Of the grading ex-
cept small space on which houses
are situated has been graded and
leveled off, Most of the stumps have
been dug up and removed and all
Of the trees which formerly were
standing on the ground which will
be converted into the freight yard
have been cut down and hauled off.
Crossties are being hauled in Slow
ly and piled on the ground where
they can be conveniently reached
when wanted, but none Of the new
rails have been unloaded on the
grounds yet. The new yard will be
more than half a mile long, extend
ing from the coal chute to and be-
yond the city limits, and twelve
tracks will be laid. besides a number
Of switches.

COTTON REPORTS UP TO DATE.
Number of >cres Planted in 1911
and 10 lie Planted i'm 1912.

The repcris Of the canvassers un-
der the Rock Hill Plan have up TO
date reported a reduction OF 3.712
acres from that planted last year.
making a reduction of approximately
twenty-three per cent of the cotton
crop planted in 1911. All Of the
townships in the county have not
been completely canvassed, but the
reduction in cotton acreage is en-
couraging and closely approximates
the one-fourth Of the cotton crop re-
duction planned for.
The townships which have been
heard from up TO the present time
are: Sumter. Concord. Mayesville.
Stateburg, Middleton and Rafting
Creek. Those still to be heard from
are: Shiloh. Privateer and Manches-
ter and Providence. The townships
heard from have been canvaSsed only
in part.

Woodrow Wilson has wonderful
capacity for holding his tongue
against controversy and letting the
other fellows wrangle out an issue
to his advantage. Col. Roosevelt
would find him a most disagreeable
and perverse antagonist. 1t would be
an interesting situation, by the way,
and one contributing very heavily 70
the gaiety of nations if the Dotcor

other for the Presidency. And there
