cotton growing States and by leading
business men and farmers everywhere
1t calls for reduction in the cotton
acreage and an increase in the acre
age in other farm products. When the
| farmers of the South make too much
! cotton for immediate use and throw
| that cotton on the markets in utter
disregard of and violation Of all the
laws of trade and business methods
We much expect to suffer. When we
get s30O,OO0,000 less for a 100000
bale crop than we do for a 100000
crop, there is something wrog some
where. It is estimated We are produc-
ing 100000 more bales and receiving
s30OO00,OO0 less for it-a sad object
lesson On the Southern farmers folly
and business sense. Let US be wiser
in the future.
By concert Of action and unanlmlty
of purpose in this important work we
can help the farmers of the South and
all other interests; by Indifference and
fault-fnding and useless criticism OF
the plan or of our leaders, We can
crush the hopes and enthusiasm of'our
people, demoralize our farmers and
destroy,a scheme that promises so
much good.
l. We thank our friends for the assis-
tance and encouragement already CIV
en- to the committee and the cause,
and we earnestly beg the people or
the county to continue to do them
selves proud in this crucial moment.
Remember it is only by concert OF
action, by a strong pull and a pull all
together that we can accomplish sat-
isfactory results and place NeWberry
county in the front ranks in this great
movement for the betterment of all
our people.
