From Milla And Farms In an effort to tabulate the number or boye .enlisting from the f ar GIB, the | mills and from other walk sot life that are contributing men in large numbers. Mr. Walter Storm of John&ton, Storm & Co., hts wired his concern to send out a circular in this connection and to notify their BOO correspondents throughout the south to solicit such information. As this ls the most crucial moment that - a farmer could possibly leave his crop, and boys from the rural districts are enlisting in large num bers, Mr. Storm believes this will vitally effect the cotton crop. With a shortage of men, tho boll weevil and* the small amount of fertilizer uBed, it fooks as if the cotton crop will bo greatly curtailed.. Mr. Storm suggested that if. the newspapers of every county seat Would take up thia matter valuable and interesting data would be secur ed and hy .KO doing they would make tho. situation so clear to everybody that efforts looking to the reUef of the situation could bo put under way. Mr; Storm pointed ? out that even should there be no fighting in Mexi co, the boys will undoubtedly be called to the border and' kept away from their homos and work -for sev eral-months.

As Mr. Fant.points out in his cam paign speeches he is the only candi date offering for a state. office from the Piedmont, and this argument j alone is greatly boosting his candi dacy.
