To the Farmers of Kershaw Coun
ty: ? 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.,

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*..
