Prize Olfered lor Most Beautiful Street?Other Business Matters. At a well-attended meeting of the Civic league on Wednesday afternoon. the 7th inst, business of im onrl nlanc P0ru?u.t; Was UliJVliaJCU aim laid for future activity. As recently announced, the league will award a prize of $5.00 next October to that street which shall have been most beautified through the efforts of resident league members by that time. In order to secure the corporation of those not members of the league and to insure organized effort, the president appointed the following district chairmen,who will call meetings at an early date and begin the campaign to make Kingstree a city beautiful: Mesdames E C Burgess, W A Fairy, J E Kennedy and Misses Beulah Nelson, Maude Logan and Jimmie Britton. Each of these efficient workers is deter timicu uiai uci v? uvw.vu shall be the prize winner in October. The chairman of the depot committee. Mrs LeRoy Lee, announced that the railroad authorities have promised to cement the plot at the depot, leaving only a flower bed in the center which the league will endeavor to beautify. It is the hope that in the near future the league will be able to place a fountain in this spot, provided they receive the support and co-operation of the railroad authorities. Mrs W N Jacobs was appointed chairman of a committee to take steDs toward making into a- park the triangular space between the two roads leading to the river. It is the aim of the league to render this naturally lovely spot at least elean and attractive and later to develop it into a park that will be a credit to the town. At the next meeting of the league the regular election of officers will be held and a full attendance is earnestly requested. Full reports of the work done during the year will be read bv the odicers and recommendations made by the retiring president. * KKIREE HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. * ? * ? Our library is badly in need of new books. Realizing this, the teachers and friends of the school are preparing an entertainment to be given in the auditorium February 23. It will consist of a play entitled, "Maidens All Forlorn," and musical selections by the best home talent. Among those who went home for the week-end were: Misses Ruth Phillips, Marian Dukes, Daisy and Minnie Strong; Messrs Daniel Epps and Workman Evans. Not many pupils were at school the first day of this week, as the snow kept them away. Miss Alma Davis,one of the teachsrS-of the graded school, was on the sick list last week. Miss Leila Walker, principal of i the high school, was absent from school one day last week on account of sickness. Our Ad. Columns Pay. Publisher County Kecord, Kingstree, S C. Dear Sir:?

From all over the State we are in ; receipt of communications showing that the farmers are rapidiy pledg| ing themselves under the "Rock Hill j Plan" to reduce acreage at least 25 per cent. This movement is not only sweeping the State of South Carolina, but it is being embraced bv the farmers of the entire Cotton Beit. But the most important piece of news of all we have received up to the present on this important subject is a clipping from the Wall Street Journal of New York, and the following is what that paper has to say on the situation of the movements of the cotton farmers of the South: "South Atlantic States Active in Promotion of 'Rock Hill Plan' to Reduce Area 25 Per Cent Below 1911?Farmers are Signing in Leading Counties. "Within 60 days of the time when field work begins in the cotton belt on the new crop for 1912, growers of cotton are still without any concerted plan whereby a reduction of acreage may be accomplished. Nevertheless, in the various States, through one agency or anorner, State Departments of Agriculture are working with the farmers and ; their friends, and there is good reason to believe that effective reductions will be made. This will be n >t by absolute curtailment of farm acreage, but by relative decrease in areas planted in cotton and various other crops. "In the South-Atlantic States what j is known as the 'Rock ^ill Plan' for reducing cotton acreage is being systematically put into effect, beginning with February 1. The Sauth Carolina Farmers' Union several days ago requested Commissioner E J Watson, of that State's Agricultural Department, who is also President of the Southern Cotton Congress, to co-operate with J G An lerson, author of the 'Rock Hill Plan' to canvass the Southern States. Local canvassers are rapidly covering the counties in South Carolina, securing pledges from individual i farmers and big planters. Barnwell j county, S C, for instance, rep. rts 47 signers who planted 5,091 acres in J of his labors. "Oh," they say, "we will seta trap for these silly, short! sighted farmers down South and we ?will c itch them all. We have al-; lei 11, nave given written pledges to ! re luce the acreage to 3,772 acres ; this year, a reduction of 25 per cent ! which the plan requires. This counj ty usually produced from 40,000 to t5),000 bales. Bankers and manuj f iclurers are subscribing funds in support of the movement and Chambms of Commerce are likewise back| ing it." We will also insert a clipping i from Henry Clews & Go's circular of February 3, so you may see what \ they have to say on this subject: J "Don't Let the Present Advances Fool You. "Sales of fertilizers are substan! tially behind last season, while a recent Government report which quoted the price of mules at $5.50 a head less than last year is certainly significant. Altogether the evidence which is gradually coming to hand pretty clearly indicates the probability of a material reduction in this ! year's crop area, although the acrei age prospects would be greatly imI proved if prices should be further sharply advanced and maintained, until close on to planting time. Tnis, however, is something that only the future can disclose, and in the meantime the market will ; continue to be governed by the ' natural law of supply and demand i which can always be counted on to I regulate values in the long run. In ' this connection it is only fair to say t oat the legitimate demand of spinnors is still far from being satisfied." It does not take a Solomon to see ! the drift of this band of organized gamblers in New York who conspire ; by concert of action to rob the ' Southern farmer out of the fruits reaay got tne most or tne crop o: 1911 at our own price; now we will1 shoot up the price from now until after planting time and the last one | of them, in spite of what their leaders may say, will go to buying fertilizers and planting as much cotton as ever." Farmers of Williamsburg county,; come and get on the hand wagon; \ ! don't take the bait?pledge yourselves under the Rock Hill Plan and stick to it and you will see results next fall?better times ahead if you do. Now we trust, ere this paper reaches you,that our canvassers will be out in all parts of the county taking pledges and if they have not already seen you be on the lookout for them and when they come treat them courteously and give them the information they ask for as quickly as you can, with as little argument i as possible,as they will have explicit instructions not to take time to engage in long arguments but to press j on with the work in hand as rapidly as possible. Now, so much for that; we are like the old darkey preaching, we cannot close this meeting without a little collection. You will remember last week we made an earnest call for enntrihntinns to heln out this cause and the following list will ! show that we had a good many responses. Yet we still lack a good deal to complete this important work. Now,you who have it in your hearts to send us a little money, don't hesitate arother minute; send now. Send it today either by per- ' sonal bank check or postoffice money ] order. We need it. Send it to W E Jenkinson, Chairman. Now we want to say a word in behalf of the committee, while we I are not authorized to speak for the other two members of the committee, yet we have every reason to be! lieve that they will contribute all they can do and say free of charge. I can say however for myself (W E ( Jenkinson) that what I have done j and all I can do I freely give to the t cause without one cent of remunera- 1 : tion and will feel a thousand times repaid if we succeed in getting j 1 Williamsburg county thoroughly or- , ' ganized under the Rock Hill Plan. < The following is a list of subscriptions received up to the present:!1 I ( List of Contributors j I Bank of Kingstree $ 25 00: J j Bank of Williamsburg 125 00 I Wee Nee Bank 15 00 W E Jenkinson 10 00 Farmers Supply Company 15 | L D Rogers 3 00 t Carolina Purniture Company .... 5 00 Kingstree Dry Goods Company 10 00 Staekley Dry Goods Company. .. 3 00 Peoples Mercantile Company 10 00 j S Marcus 5 00 j M F Heller 10 00 ; J J M Graham 5 00 j i J W Coward 5 o01 ' Sol Peres 5 001 I Butler Dry Goods Company 3 00 I Blakeley McCullcugh Corporai tion 5 00. i H O Britton 10 00 ' jJohn M Nexsen 10 00 ^ j Kingstree Hardware Company ... 10 00 ; !
