Brown says many threats were made against him by the men. -Threats of Burning One of the men poured "oil" on Brown's head and said he was going to stick fire to it, according to Brown. They also told him that they were going to, take him to the Georgia-South Carolina . line and stretch him one mile each way.

Each county is asked for one $10 member ship for each thousand population, an appropriation by the county commis sioners, and one-tenth of 1 per cent of their capital stock by banks. On that basis Robeson county is asked for 55 members, an appropriation of 1300, and $594 from banks. . Trouble with this section, said Mr. Bartlett, is that It has not let the outside world know about its un bounded resources. It has been asleep, while other sections have grown enor mously rich by advertising their pro ducts and advantages. In his own county of Laurens, Ga., he said, it was decided in 1915 to develop farming, instead of merely taking what comes from cotton. As a result when the farmers found out they could get cash for hogs, etc., they produced them, and in 1917 they organized the first com mercial stock yard and put a man on the job to handle stock all the time. In 1918 that county produced $58,000 bales of cotton, in 1919, 21,500 (boll weevil), in 1920, 19,600 (more boll weevil), in 1921, 11,126, with only a reduction of ; one-third in ' acreage, in 1918 that county produced 08,000 bales and 11,000 bales was being taken care of by promoting other things. That is what the E. C. C. of CL is for. It proposes to put on intensive campaigns looking to providing local markets for other things besides cot ton and then promoting the produc tion of other things.
