Ed. Review: Please allow me
Bpace in valuable columns to
eay a few words to the people
tins week. The timo i? rhomentouB
and work must be done.
The time has come wh u every
man mu?t bu%vii' himself. The
work dtMn.'tuds that all take a
part. Let overy man arm himself
with a pledge roll and see
every other man that he can and
get his name. All the people
are united in this movement.
Remember that there is no class
or avocation that is not directly
interested itx thi9 great work.
Therefore call on every one.
Some are going to redace their
cotton crops more than half,
and be sure you take the item of
reductiou just as high as the
facts in the rase will admit.
Don't forget that we must all
stand pledged 25 per eeBt. in
acreage and the same in commercial
fertilizers. The reports
from all the cotton 6tates show
that the people are in earnest
