Elsewhere in this issue you will find a list showing acres of cotton planted last by the farmers signing pledges, and the acres they will plant this year. If one of our canvassers have not seen you, please be kind enough to mail postal card to our chairman at oncee, stating acres planted last year and acres you will plant this year. It takes money to keep our canvassers in the county, our funds are limited,, and besides it is getting late and we want to finish up this matter at once. If you will kindly mail the postal as suggested, you will do us a favor, and we trust, the peo ple of our county some good. See letter in this issue from J. G. Anderson, Superintendent for South Carolina, and we know you will re duce acreag4 and mall card at once. Yours truly, Jno. T. Mackey, Chpi'n., A. D. Kennedy, Jas. H. Burns. Rock Hill, S. C., Mar. 14. Mr. John T. Mackey, Chairman, Rock Hill Plan Committee, Camden, S. C. Dear Mr. Mackey: I have your f^vor of blank date, and I am glad tnat you are going right ahead. 1 hope you will have the county finished up Just as quickly as pos sible, as that will relieve you of quite a lot of trouble. I have been working on this scheme ever since November 18, and want to got thru with it, as I must turn my attention to some thing else. There is going to be a big reduction in acreage, and we will have good times again. Tell your farmers not to let the advance in price fool them. If we expect to bring prosperity back to South Carolina, we must actually cut down the production of cotton. Another thing that is making peo ple indifferent Is the bad weather. It Is a mystery to rile why sensi ble people jump at conclusions without thinking. Evreybody Bays the bad weather and late spring will bring about a reduction any way. I hope the people will not be fooled by that talk. It is of his torical record that the year 1897 produced a blfe crop and the spring of that year was delayed longer than ever *as known. No farm work of any consequence waa done tip until April. Yet, the acreage was a half a million in excess of 1896, and the number of bales pro duced in excess Of 189? were 2, happen an4 It will, there toc. .not do to Ute any chut*.. , Toon tnrfy, _ J. O.
