made diligent enquiry throughout

getic negro. He left here Saturday 1
night with a passenger for Latta and 1
when he failed to show up Spnday J
morning Mr. Sanders became suspicions
and began an investigation. He 1
received word that a negro was found

been able to verify the story. Sellers

ACREAGE REDUCTION
OF COTTON VITAL
Says Not to Heed Warning Will Be
to Invite Bankruptcy and
Disaster.
Declaring that the time has come
when the truth regarding the cotton
situation must be driven home to every
farmer in the State, the South
Carolina Division of the American
Cotton Association has issued abatement
appealing to every organization
in South Carolina to assist it in its
efforts to secure an acreage reduction
ln the state this year.
Statistics are given which tend to
bIiow that on the 1st of next August
before a bale of the 19 21 crop is
picKea, tbere will be on hand a surplus
of over 9,000,000 bales, or almost
a one year crop. It is declared
that the planting of anything like a
normal acreage in cotton this year
will be a simple suicidal business policy
not alone for farmers but for
every business interest in the South.
For this reason it is declared that
the business and professional men
should be active in the movement to
secure acreage reduction.
"The gravity of the situation confronting
the South as regards the
planting of another cotton crop and
the apprehension on our part that
there are thousands of people in our
State who do not comprehend just
what we are up against impels us
to issue this appeal to the farmers,
business and professional men of
South Carolina," say8 the statement
ssued by the South Carolina Division
>f the American Cotton Association.
'We feed that, it is our duty to place
.he facts squarely before them, as
itartling as they are, in order that evsry
organized agency in the state
nay join with us in our efforts to see
;o it that no farmer in South Caroina
plants over one-third of his culivated
land in cotton this year. To
In u a
.v -vucitt.dc win ue 10 invite disaser
and financial bankruptcy.
An Alarming Feature.
"One of the most alarming features
>f the present situation is that there
ire so many who contend that they
:annot meet the requirements of the
Lssociation that they plant only onehird
of their land in cotton. They
teem not to stop to consider that it
rould perhaps be better that thoy
>lant no cotton at all than to plant
t and be forced to sell next fall in
i price far below the cost of proluction,
which we believe they will
urely have to do if over a one-half
rop is raised this year. To those
rho still have their last year's crop
in hand we would say that present
ndications are that they would profit
ty not planting a bale because a
lair-crop this year would mean that
hey would get more for their last
ear's crop than they would get for
ast year's crop and thi8 year's crop
ombined If ' over a half crop is
ilanted this year.
"Now what are the facts about the
otton situation? Here they are and
re hope every farmer in South Caro-i
ina, whlte and colored, who can read
rill read them and that somebody
rill read them to every one that cantot
read:
"On August 1, 1920, there was a
urplus of Amencan cotton on hand,
ccordlng to Hester, of 6,086,000
tales.
"*fhe ten year average amount of
American cotton on hand August 1
1,200,000 bales.
"It Is thus seen that the surplus on
J l __ _ _
hadd on las August 1 was alh >st six
times larger than the avenge
amount on hand at that time.
"The probable amount ot surplus
cotton on hand on August 1, 1921, is
estimated by tliose who are in good
position to know, at over 9,000,000
bales or aftnost a one-year crop.
"The greatest consumption of every
American cotton ever known in
one year was 15.U0U.000 bales. Ten
year average of consumption of American
cotton prior to the great war
was 13,000,000 bales. With so many
of the foreign mills shut down you
I n6uiv j uuiben as 10 now much
will be consumed this >ear.
"The American crop of 13,000,000
bales lhig year indicates a world supply
of all kinds of cotton, including
American of 29,000,000 bales.
Cotton Curried Over.
"The world carry-over including
American cotton, may reach a total of
13,000,000 bales.
"The world during the first present
year is not likely to consume more
than 15,000,000 bales.
"These are the facts. The figures
are startling but we believe they are
correct. They were prepared by the
cotton acreage reduction committee
at Memphis, Tenn., appointed by the
great convention of bankers, farmers
and merchants held at Memphis.
This committee consultted with the
best posted cotton in the world.
"There is one point which we desire
to stress regarding the pledges.
They do not require a farmer to cut
his acreage 50 per cent. They merely
require that he plant only one third
of his cultivated land in cotton. If
he has not been planting over one
third the pledge does not affect him
at all. Nevertheless We desire every
farmer, whether the pledge affects
I him or not, to s'Sn the pledge because |
We desire to announce that a definite
.number of farmers hnvo mui
_ o.oiini. x uxa
(announcement followed by a similar
announcement from each of the other
cotton states will show the world that
the south is in earnest this time and
will have good effect on the market.
"The situation is so serious that we
appeal to every farmer, every merchant,
every banker, every professional
man; to every newspaper, every
chamber of commerce and state
wide organization to join in the fight.
We believe that the other states are
. going to reduce. Reports indicate
that they certainly will. Whether they
, do or not, South Carolina should. If
, we reduce and they do not, we will
, havQ no cause for regret?indeed we
, would then have to congratulate ourselves.
But they are going to reduce
and we must keep faith with them."
