The reports that reach Charlotte from all over the State have much to say of the work of Mr.- C. C. Moore, president of the North Carolina Cot ton Growers Association. He Is going from village to village and from city to city, visiting every cotton growing county in the State, and doing all that he can to perfect the organisation. To quote from a personal letter received bv a friend several days ago, Mr. Moore declares: "I am after those counties not yet In line by letters, cards, circulars, in person and through the press. Two stenographers are with me as much as possible clicking off cards and letters to men all over the State. I am already beginning to sea the results of this work." h ff B " V - v 1 1 .C-rrrS-. -;i 4 I . i. a w w ' Is a gentle reminder that good siilctentinl clothing u ncccccary ,V:'for protection of man.
