stability of the service offered by the
corporation he represents.
Almost as conspicuous an example
of aggressiveness, joined 10 forceful-
ness Of personality and ability, is the
career Of j. Epps Brown, general man
ager Of the Southern Bell company.
Mr.. Browns beginning was made
squarely from the ranks, and his rise
has been as meteoric, relatively, as
that of his chief. His fidelity, and
capacity have been recognized by one
promotion after another, until today
he is general manager of the entire
field covered by the Southern Bell.
The steady climb upward OF these
two alert officials is not only the most
practical appreciation Of their ability
but also an inspiration to young men
setting out to carve their own careers.

that 10000 South Carolina farmers

The Rock Hill plan does not con-
template reduction of fertilizer This
point was not even raised at the New
Orleans conference, which put forth
the Rock Hill plan. Mr.. Anderson is
no farmer, but reducing fertilizers
does not set well with his ideas OF
sound economy. He would rather see
the cotton acreage reduced by a great
er percentage. But fertilizer reduction
il welcome even to him in the circum-
stances as giving double assurance OF
a reduced yield for 1912.
In the case of every county chair
man so far making report the esu-
nate is that the county will use less
fertilizer on cotton by from rs to 40
per cent, and as high aS so per cent.
in some instances. And this situation
in apparently general throughout the
cotton belt.
This waa one Of the surprises IN con-
nection with the work to many.
Another interesting surpriss-an
agreeable one-was having canvasserG
encounter isolated section Of the
Gate, where it was practically impos-
able to secure any material acreage
reduction on account Of their neigh
Sors being characterised by a habit
which had become fixed for many
years of raising cotton entirely as a
surplus crop. These farmers have
dozens of different kind of farm pro-
ducts for sale every year and through
out the year.
Mr.. Anderson says il he could find
an effective plaa to quickly multiply
this class he would desert the Rock
Hill plan for the new method in twen-
ty-four hours.
A representative Of Mr.. Anderson
called this matter to the attention Of
the State district farm demonstration
AGENTS in Columbia few days ago.
Fhey reported that they were struck

come so slack that there would sure
ly follow a tremendous break in
prices
con the other hand, if the prospects
were for a small crop the spinners
would feel assured of their position
in laying in supplies for the future
and the general demand would in
crease, based on the fact that the sur
plus at the end of this year would be
materially reduced, and I believe we
would have a genuine old bull market.
Hope you will keep up the good work"

Mr.. Gentry's Phenomenal Career.

Mr.. Gentry's Phenomenal Career.
Atlanta Constitution.
From the position of manager Of the
local telephone exchange in Atlanta
about 80 years ago to that of chief
executive officer of the Bell Telephone
system Of the Southern States, de-
scribes the phenomenal career Of W.
T. Gentry, who, as announced in the
Constitution, will shortly be elected as
president Of the Cumberland Tele-
phone and Telegraph company. Mr..
Gentry is already president of the
Southern Bell Telephone company. HiG
elevation to the presidency of the Cum
berland company, which operates in
the States Of kentucky, Tennessee
Mississippi, Louisiana and small part
Of Indiana and Illinois, places him ct
the head of the local and long distance
company virtually dominating the tele-
phone business of the Southern States.
20 Mp. Genry'S initiative and for0-
sight, extending over a period Of near
" three decades, may largely be trac-
cd the uninterrupted growth of the
system with which he is identified. The
expansion of the South and the conse-
Quent demand for increase Of commu-
nication facilities supplied the field, of
course But a less perceptiTe man
would not have grasped the situation,
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1912-03-05

with such situations an various parts
OF the State.
They are going to try out a method
Of spreading this by transplanting far
mers from these sections to other sec
tons. Their observation is that this
rotation habit is contagious and
spreads in permanent way.
If this method of farming prevailed
in every neighborhood throughout the
cotton belt the production of cotton
would be less than half what it is,
there would never be overproduction
and prices would be higher in proper
don.
In letter just received by Mr.. An
derson, Mr.. James O. Williams, Of the
New York brokerage firm of Daniel
.ODell & Co., was a member of the
New York Cotton Exchange, sounds
this warning with regard to acreage
reduction:
"I am very much pleased to learn
that your efforts have been so success
full in bringing about promised ma
terial reduction in the cotton acreage
for this year. I wish you every sue
cess and believe it is the very saliva
ton Of the cotton planter.
81 consider that many spinners are
laying in supplies for future needs in
view of the possibilities of material
reduction in acreage this year,
'sWhen I was South last October a
big spinner told me that if cotton
went to 8 1-2 cents he expected to
buy sufficient to run him for two years,
as he considered it safe investment
at a price which he considered below
the cost of production. His views un-
doubtedly represented the views of
numerous spinners all over the coun-
try and when the price reached point
at which they considered that the ac-
tual cotton could not be produced, they
began buying on heavy scale. This
heavy buying, in my opinion, turned
the market and the ease with which It
has since advanced has not only made
them surer OF their position, but has
encouraged others to follow their ex-
ample, and the consequences is that
we have a much more optimistic feel
ing today than we had few months
ago, although there has been no reduc-
ton in estimates Of last years yield.
Gas to the future course of market.
I believe it absolutely depends upon
the acreage planted, fertilizers used
and progress made in this years crop,
for certainly if indications point to
another big yield spinners, who have
bought far into the future, will be!
the first to try to unload in the expec-
tation of buying again at material re-
cessions, while the demand will be-
