honor. He attributes his success to
his ability or luck in selecting capa-
bic men to fill responsible places. In
retiring he has the satisfaction OF
turning the company's affairs over to
men who can carry out the policies
which he has so rigidly adhered to.
J. Epps Brown, who is to succeed
Mr.. Gentry as president, is South
Carolinian by birth, although a resi-
dent of Georgia for more than 20
years. His selection as leader OF the
telephone industry in the South is
logical step in the progress of ca
reer marked by series of brilliant
successes and advances. MIR. Brown
entered the service of the Bell system
in 1899 as manager of the Americus,
Ca, office His unusual talents at
tracted the attention Of higher Off
cia!s and he was sent to Atlanta,
where he soon became chief clerk to
the general manager. He was suc-
,cessiyely general manager, vice presi-
dnt and general manager and then
first vice president. Thus in 20 years
he rose from manager of small Of
fee to president of the company. His
success has been won by ability and
hard work. He early gained the con-
fidence and esteem of officials and en-
ployees alike and his reputation for
fair mindednees has made him popu-
lar with the entire personnel OF the
big organization.

Spirit of Cooperation
By Ne,uberry Farmers

berry meeting that he should and a
resolution was adopted expressing
that view. It would not be fair to ex'
pect that the tenant who rents the
land should bear all the reduction in
the amount of cotton to be grown.
Mr.. ]. L. Keitt presided at the meet,
ing and explained the purpose OF the
meetings and why there should be CO.
operation along all lines.
Earnest talks were made by John
C. Neel and Jno. M. Kinard and Arthur
Kibler and John Henry Chappen and
DR.. ,Cromer was called upon and made
most impressive speech, explaining
many things of interest Mr.. w. B.
Boinest stated that the trouble in his
community was that the farmers there
as rule were small farmers and
never planted more than ten acres to
the plow and many of them less, and
they did mot think they should be
called upon to reduce that amount.
But it was explained that there must
be cooperation and that an increase in
price would help them just as much
as the large farmer and they would
receive more for the samller acreage
than what they had been receiving
or would receive from larger acreage
and they could plant the land in other
products. }
The following resolution as to the
renting proposition was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, in the reduction of cotton
acreage where contracts have been
made on cotton basis between land
lords and tenants, if the tenants re-
duce acreage to the extent of one
third as requested they will bear the
entire reduction.
Therefore be it resolved, That it is
the opinion of the Cotton Association
of Newberry that the landowners
! should take a. portion of their rent in
other product than cotton.
The meeting also was unanimous IN
the plan to reduce cotton acreage one
i third and also fertilizer.

The spirit of cooperation was the
spirit manifest by the Newberry farm
ers and other interests in the various
meetings held in the county on last
Friday in the interest of the reduction
in the acreage of cotton and fertilizer
during this year.
There were meetings held at various
places in the county and the farmers
as a general rule willingly signed the
pledges for reduction Of acreage and
fertilizer. At. Newberry there was
fairly good attendance at the court
house end meetings were held at Whit
mire and Little Mountain and Swilton
and several other places and the re-
ports indicate that there is strong
spirit OF. cooperation and that is the
spirit that will win.
At Whitmire talks were made, to
the meeting by E. E. Child and W. R.
Watson and at Little Mountain B. V.
Chapman and Revs. j. j. Long and j.
B. Harman spoke and at Swilton Mr..
Chapman and Rev. Harman were the
speakers. But it is not talk that is
going to win the fight for better price
for cotton but the cooperation of farm
ers and other business interests to re:
duce acreage in cotton and plant the
land in something else.
In some communities the question
was raised that it was not right where
the farmer had already been planting
less, than ten acres to the plow to ex-
pect him to reduce, but the answer to
that is that there must be cooperation
and he must do his share along with
the rest and general reduction in
the amount of cotton raised will help
him in securing better price for
what he does grow and in the end
he will receive as much for his small
Ter acreage as he would.for the larger
acreage.
Then there was the question Of rent.
Should not the man who rents his land
for so much cotton be willing to take
a portion of the rent in other prod
ncts. It was the sense Of the New
