check the flames, and in this way
most OF the cotton was saved from
burning. However, several bales of
the staple were lost in the fire.
All Of the property and goods lost
belonged to the A. G.. L. or were in
possession of the A. C. l.. authorities
at the time. Mr.. c. j. Field, general
manager of the B., E. & W., stated
Tuesday after a visit to Ehrhardt
that it had not been possible up to
that time to check up the full losses,
but that it would reach several
thousand dollars.

REDUCTION COMMITTEES MET.
Discussed Progress Of Movement to
Reduce Cotton Acreage.

Another meeting Of the committees
appointed to secure signatures to the
pledges for reduction of cotton acre
age was held Friday at the court
house, several communities not nav
ing any representation. 1t appears
that progress has been made, and
that there will be material reduction
in acreage in this county.
The Denmark committee, which
has been very active throughout, re-
ported that the work there has been
about completed; that about 95 per
cent. of the farmers had signed the
straight one-third reduction pledge,
or had agreed to reduce according to
the schedule. Very few have refus-
ed.
The same conditions were report
ed from Lees, this committee work
ing in conjunction with the Den
mark committee. These two COM
mittees had also done some mission
ary work, going over to Blackv1lle
and helping to get the Blackvllle
farmers started on the movement.
It was reported from Ehrhardt
that things had not gotten warmed
up in that section. About fifty per
cent. of the farmers had signed up.
; It seems that there are many small
acreage farmers are not asked to re-
ton, and that they have not taken
we'll to reducing their already small
acreage. 1t was believed by the
committeeman, however, that the
small farmers generally do not un-
derstand the matter, in that small
cotton farmers are not asked to re-
duce their acreage in proportion to
the large acreage planters.
Govan reported that approximate
ly Is per cent. of the farmers had
signed the pledge, and that none had
refused so far.
Kearse reported that about 80 per
cent. had signed, and that there is
some work yet to be done.
The Midway committee had moth
ing further to report other than had
been covered in the previous report.
The Clear Pond committee report
ed that the work is nearly completed
and that about 80 per cent. had sign
ed.
It was reported for Bamberg that
nearly all the farmers had agreed to
the reduction, and that only one or
two had absolutely refused.
1t developed at the meeting that
quite a few farmers had agreed to
reduce their acreage, but not one
third. Some of the committeeman
we're of the opinion that only straight
! pledges ought to be accepted, while
others thought that if the one-third
pledge could not be secured, they
ought to accept whatever reduction
is agreed to.
