In nearly every instance pledges to reduce were signed at the meeting by all in attendance. "The cotton acreage reduction campaign has gotten away to a splen did start in South Carolina," said President li. C. Hamer of the South Carolina Division last night. They are determined that South Carolina shall not contribute to the bankruptcy, of the South by planting a large cotton crop this year."
