1T is UP TO YOU!

Columbia, April 11.-A final appeal
to the farmers of South Carolina to
reduce their cotton acreage this year
was issued today by the South Caro-
lima Division of the American Cotton
Association.
eve have given you the facts re-
garding the world surplus of cotton
and we now leave the case with you,"
says statement issued by the asso-
citation. "f you go ahead and plant
another full crop when there is al
ready enough cotton on hand to sup
ply the world for a year and half
you will be making your own bed and
you will have to lie on it. We have
done everything that we could pos
sibly do to warn you and you will
be walking into the trap with your
eyes wide open.
"At the conference held in Wash
ington last week regarding the cot
ton situation it was the concensus of
opinion that the only hope for the
future of the South lies in heavy re-
duction of the acreage. The New York
bankers, the administration at Wash
ington and the cotton experts all
agreed that another large crop OF cot
ton would mean financial ruin for the
South.
ga heavy reduction might result in
our getting much better price than
now available for the cotton still on
hand. A large crop means that the
price will go much lower than it now
is.
"lf you can grow cotton at cents
pound and make money at it, go to
it. If you can't you had better plant
food and feedstuffs this year"

Congressman William d. Upshaw,
of Georgia. has presented strong pro-
test against the appointment of a
negro as Registrar of the United
States Treasury.
In his TELEGRAM to President Hard
ing, Mr.. Upshaw said that if it was
necessary for the Republican admin
istration To pay a political debt it
should be paid in some other way. He
referred to The fact that there are hun
dredS of white women who would have
to work under the direction of the
Registrar and they have expressed
great dissatisfaction with the rcporte
intention Of the President to appoint
negro to the noSitiOn Of Registrar.
Mr.. UpSnaw said: "Allow me to urge
in the name Of these hundreds OF
white women, irrespective of party
or section and especially speaking on
behalf of those who como from Geor.
ga and many other states Of the south
that this political recognition be made
in some way that will not cause If.

SAFE THE BABY" CAMPAIGN

Plans for the observance of the

campaign which is being put on by the

citation for Children's Week, April
2i-Aiay lst.
The aim Of the campaign was tc
reach 10000 babies, but prospects arc
that more than $4,000 babies will be
reached. The Campaign is said to have
two-fold purposes, enrolling babies
on the Cradle Rolls of the Sunday
Schools and giving information about
their early training, and second to
give their mothers scientific informa-
tion about their physical care. This
campaign is said to be very timely be-
cause of these facts issued by the
State Bureau Of Child Hygiene:
4,456 babies under one year of age
died last year in South Carolina
% per cent Of all deaths in South
Carolina are of children under five
years Of age
About one fifth of dca ms occur dur
