COTTON COMMITTEES

To the Township Committees of the
Clarendon Cotton Association:
The American Cotton Association
has set aside the days from October
1st, to October 10th, as self preser-
walton days for the farmers.
In these days they are urging that
our membership campaign be COM
pleted, our corporations for the pur-
pose of buying distress cotton or
ganized, knowing that you cannot
preserve yourself without an organi-
zation back of this fight.
l want to say to the township COM
mittees that where farmer is visit
ed and the matter intelligently ex-
planned to him it is rare thing for
him to decline coming in. This has
been the experience of every canvasser
who has really worked. If we do not
get then the membership from your
township that ought to be gotten it
will be your fault, and you cannot put
it off on anybody else.
If you think it will help I will glad
ly attend all appointed meeting in
your township or have some one else
to come.
In short, the work must be done, so
why rot get together, divide up your
township and complete it in one day.
Below are the names of the Town
ship committees that the Cotton AS
sociation are counting upon to do this
work.
