It is easy that discitlm

THE TEXAS MOVEMENT FOB A-
CHEAOE E EDUCTION
RESOLUTIONS SET OUT
The agitation is for no cotton to be
'planted in 1915 or certainly not
over 1-2 of thU year's crop.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. An ag
gressive movement to bring a-
bout a reduction of next year's
cotton acreage through special
legislation of cotton belt legls
latures .was ettrted in Texas
the weeK beginning October 5
by- leading members of the
Southern Cotton. Association
which has recently tyeen reorgan
ized, and through the present
movement intends to repeat its
s access of 1905.
The campaign was started jn
Texas monday , when ; Harvie
Jordan, of Atlanta, president of
the association; former Governor
Noel, of Mississippi, Walter
Clark, of ? Mississippi; John L.
Hebron, of Jackson,. Miss, and
John H. Sherrard of Sherrard.
Miss, began a tour of the state.
They were scheduled to hold
mass meetings at MCKinney,
Sherman, - Dallas, Fort Wort,
Wsxahachie, Taylor, Pans. Mar-
shtU, Henderson, Temple, Waco,
Corsicana, and . other points.
Delegations from those points
will later appear before Govern
or Colquitt and the Texas, legis
lature and urge that the sub
stance of resolution which ap
pear uelow oe enacted into law.
The Texas campaign will be
duplicated in every other South-
en! ktat'j The association be
lie we that only through legisla
tion can the acreage be reduced.
The ejtt state to be visited, will
uo . South Carolina, the plan
btMntf to work east and west
through the belt. .
The resolution .: upon .which
legislation'. will bo basud, were
adopted . by , the contention of
the Soothern Cotton Association
tt iJew Orleans on September
28 SO. They are as follows:,
- RSQLUTfONS '
WHEKEAS, The' boll weevil,
witt and other pestnand diseases
have fr many years beert dis-
troetive to the cotton crop in
large portions of the cotton pro.
ducmg states, and their con-
tmous spread now menaces the
nflnote area devoted to the culti
vation .of cotton.
WHEREAS, Owing 'to the
diminished demand lor . cotton
and itho lucre&sed requirements
for food stuffs caused by the
European war the planting of
cotten for the year 1915 can be
largeJy - deduced or -entirely
eUuji nated without Imposing un

coBHuntera, and . . .. ! . , .'

NOT TO SELL
FARMERS HELD VERY GOOD
MEETING SATURDAY.
HOLD ON TO COTTON
The farmers are still enthusiastic and
stickipg together. But little re- y
; lid in tight.
- - , ' i
The farmers met Saturday in
regular weekly session. Owing
to the fact of the joint meeting
of locals at 3B's the attendance
was not so large as in former
meetings ; bnt ' enthusiasm was
not wanting. The extremely
low prices ol cotton don 't shock
the farmers. They don 't intend
to sell the fruit of their labor
for half the cost of production.
They have put the lid on tight
anp are awaiting developements.
Both the president and secre
tary were tardy and S. S. .Weir
called the meeting to order and
appointed G. G. Page as tsmpor
ary secretary. '
, J.' B. Thomasson for the
finance committee reported that
cashier M. E. Herndon of the
Peoples Loan & Trust Company
from whom they are expecting
loan arrangements had not re
turned from Richmond and that
he had no report to make. ; Mr.
Page reported on acreage curtail
ment by reciting the fundament
als of Lee County Plan which
is in its empryo in Lee County,
Georgia, and which is gradually
spreading Jt6 other Counties.
Nucleus of the plan "ten aerer
to :the" plow" ' for : 1915 cotton
crop. He also stated that bill
had passed the House of Eeprt
sentiitlves in Sooth Carolina
aid was then before the senate
tor a two-thirds reduction on

next years Crop. : ;;; -: " ,
Tlie mutter of the County
Commissioners dropping the
farm '-demonstrator, was dis
cussed and continued. Some o"
the. farmers were of the opinion
that the office should not be
obolished while others were;
indiffernt. The meeting adjoorn
ed to meet again next Saturday

C. L. BRAG AW
OFFERS A PRIZE
Our Fatherless Ones , ,
At the -meeting of Kings
Mountain Presbytery . sevral
weeks ago, Rev. C.', L. Bragaw,
of Kiugs Mountain was ejected
agent for the orphanage in that
presbytery. We feel that the
selection was a wise one as Bro.
Bragaw has always shown an
abldidg interest in the orphanage
and stands ready to aid it in any
way hean. While most of the
agents perform their duties as
outlined by the church, we feel
and have a good reason for the
feelin? that Bro. Bragaw is go
ing to go out of fits' way tof - help
our Home. In the first place he
is inerested in our children and
wants to lend any encourage
ment Within his power, to cause
them to make good use of their
ooportunites und better their
lives. .' For 'several years, Bro.
Bragaw has offered a prize to
Che child who writes the best
essay for Or Fatherless) Ones,
and when we saw him at presby
tery he told us he was going to
yut our paper in all 'the tamiles
in his:hurch and would want
to hear from the children through
the paper. He- has offered a
fountain pen as a prize to the
girl who writes the essay for
the paper between now and the
end of school in May. Our boys
have nevei-taken , any interest
in this i contest and in order to
arouse their interest the editor
will equal Brcv Bragaw's offer
and give a fountain pen to the
boy who writes the best ' essay.
While the prizes are not so valu
able they ure -a smal 1 -considera-H
tioh. in comparison to the honor
of being the best writer, out of
two hundred children and the
honor of speaking ' through' a
paper that has 3, 000- readers

Height of. the
writer's, am Won to .write some,
