The French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1896-1912, 1909-05-13
4 Letter
From
OLdHaLu
April Oath, 1909

Dear Sir:
After the receipt of this letter
please discontinue sending my
paper to Europe but address it to
Flat Rock, N. c., as we purpose
sailing from Genoa for America
ON May 21st expecting to arrive
in New York, June 3rd.
Your paper has been a great
pleasure to me, and has kept me
apprised of what was happening
at Home, and / am glad to be
able to say that you have made
an excellent paper of the "Hust-
Ter"
When I was over here two
years ago, I had the Times sent
to me, but it failed so often to
reach me and when complaint
was made, it was always put
upon the Post Office. Your
paper has never failed, not even
one copy missing, so it is clear
where the trouble was.
You hear it said in our coun-
try that the land is poor-is not
worth cultivating! / wish some
of our farmers could see the
trouble they take with the land
in such a densely populated coun-
try as this is. On most of the
land they have three crops grow
ing at once. Mulberry trees for
the silk-worms to feed on, grape
vines, and below a grain or vege-
table crop. The rough noun
tain land is covered with olive
trees or lemons, and where it is
too steep they build rock walls
on the lower side making small
terraces-the old deserted fields
of Henderson county would be
to them fine land.
Though it makes a country
very pretty to be so cultivated
yet it means much poverty and
the inability of the farmers to
own their land, so I am satisfied
to see our county improve grad
ually and am glad to see the
land owned by the farmers and
not by absent capitalists. AS
long as the soil is owned by
those who till it we will be free
from the terrible problems that
afHict the old world.
With kindest regards, l am,
Yours truly.
Ed. r. MEMMINGER.

Progression In lanauaae.

It is possible to tell almost exactly
when the more elegant 'perspire"
drove out the vulgar sweat" Accord
ing to a writer in the Gentleman's
Magazine in 1891, "for some time past
neither man, woman nor child In
Great Britain and Ireland, Of any rank
or fashion, has been subject to the
gross form of emulation which was
formerly known as sweat Now ev-
cry mortal, except carriers, coal hea-
vers and charmen, merely 'perspire.
For these 20 years past the word
sweat has been gradually becoming
more and more odious." Before ITO
or so PRECIPITATION" commonly meant
an ms sensible process, sweating" the
crossed variety thereof. In one of his
sermons Wesley remarked that dur
ing nights sleep healthy man pers.
pires one part in four less when he
sweats than when he does not" That
would be meaningless to-day.

OIL MILLS
CLOSE FOR SEASON

Jackson, Dec. 27.-Several of the
largest cotton oil mills in Mississippi
have closed down for the season dur
ing the past week. and others are fin
ishing up seed supplies on hand and
getting ready to close by the first of
January.
Not less than twenty mills have
ceased operations within the past
ten days. and. according to mill man
argers, there will not be a plant run
ming in the state on the first of jan
uary.
Whether The mills have made a prof
it on the seasons operations is a
mooted question. In some quarters
it is contended that there has been a
fair margin of profit. in spite of the
short crop. Others assert that. ow-
ing to the high price of seed, and the
fact that the market for the various
seed products has not been at all
times commensurate, there will be no
profits shown on the season. as a
whole. considering the amount of
capital invested in the industry.
In some sections of the state, es-
pecially where the boil weevil has
made its appearance and the farmers
are preparing to plant diversified
crops, the cotton oil mills are putting
in machinery for the manufacture of
corn meal. chops, and lines of feed
stuffs. and will be thoroughly equip
p to handle the crops of the farm
ers within the next year.
