HOG AND HONNY TALK. K.IslOOO TO ADVERTISE CITY,
City Council Makes A Wise
and Liberal Appropriation
To Advertise City.

i
and Liberal Appropriation
To Advertise City.
If HendersonviIIe fails to have
IA big crowd next Summer it
wont be the fault Of the town
council who, last Thursday night,
at their regular meeting appro-
lpriated $1,000 for municipal adj
vertising.
The action of the commissions
ers is commended, almost with
out exception, as progressive,
wise and far-sighted, an the whole
town will benefit by this wise
expenditure of the town s money.
Hendersonville, having no
visible means of support except
Summer visitors, certainly needs
advertising. There is not a sin
gle resort of any consequence in
the entire country which is not
advertised, fifty times more ex4
tensively than this appropriation
will advertise Hendersonville, by
the municipal authorities.
Had the council refused to
make this liberal appropriation
they would have been unmind-
full of their responsibilities and
negligent of their trust. With
out proper advertising there will
be no big crowd here this sum-
mer, and the one or two men
now criticising, would then be
the first to abuse.
The money is the taxpayers
money, it belongs to the town,
and no wiser expenditure of it
could possibly be made.
The following well known men
comprise the Hendersonville
Municipal Advertising Com
mittee.
Mayor R. H. Station.
Town Attorney Michael
Schenek.
Mr.. Charles French Toms.
w Ewbank.
aMr. S. T. Hodges. i
The committee met Saturday
and again-on Tuesday. They
are now having printed 10, 600
typewriter. letters to be mailed
to former visitors here and to
others. They have also ordered
10, 600 envelopes. !, A postal card
will be inserted in these letters
and the person receiving the
communication, if interested, is
expected to mail the postal back
asking for a booklet, to be pub
Flished as soon as possible.
All letters will be kept on file
at some public place, The names
and addresses of all enquirers
will be published in both papers
and so be available to those
wishing to send them private
advertising matter.
The committee is now having
printed, also, 5000 copies of that
excellent pamphlet on Hender-
sonville Climate by Mr.. T. w.
Valentine. an accepted authority
on that subject. This will, of
course, be revised and brought
down to date.
The payment of all bills in
CURED by the committee, not ex-
ceeding the appropriation, will
be paid by the council through
the regular channels.

HEWITT FOR CONcRESSNAN


Gives Some Good Reasona
For Hewitts Nomination.
Editor Hustler:
AS a.Demecrat always inter
Eested in the w fare and success
of his party, il appears clear to
me that the Tenth District can
certainly be redeemed this fall if
the leaders and the rank and file
of our party will do their duty
and nominate the right man, as
their candidate for rxcongress.
/ believe that every right,
thinking Democrat in the dis
trict viii agree with me that a
first consideration should be the
selection of a man that the
whole party would really and
anxiously desire to see succeed.
If we name a man that can
not arouse this unanimfty of
feeling, we have started out
whipped. If we select a man
that ought not to succeed, and
that many of our party viii ex-
pect to see defeated, it will be
found whent the ballots are count
ed that heShas not disappointed
the general expectation. If
there are men who are clamorous
for the nomination, this fact
does not prove that they are
necessarily fit for the plaee-it
may only show that they want
the job.
If the Democratic party stands
for the highest intelligence, and
represents the best character and
embraces largely the business
interests in the population com
posing the Tenth Congressional
District, it should name a candi-
date thatstands for these things.
I know of no greater political
calamity that can befall party
or a people than the success of a
candidate for a. high 0Riee who
deserves defeat. s..
It is of prime Importance that
kour candidate should have as q
starting point such a character
and such a reputation as would
cause every member of the party
in the district TO not only say,
but to earnestly believe, that he
deserves to win. It will require
this sort of a. man to succeed
with honor. / trust that the
Democratic party is not ready to
pay the price for any other sort
of victory. With our best man,
the district is close. It will not
do to count on Republican dis
sensions. They never carry
through a campaign.
believe that Frank r. Hewitt
would meet every legitimate de-
mand that should be made upon
a candidate. He is man whose
personal integrity is above sus-
picion, and his private and pub
li& character none could attack.
He has successfully managed
his own business and can, there
fore, be relied upon to properly
look after the public's business.
He is not clamorous, but he is
capable; he is making no unseen
ly claims, but he is deserving.
He knows the needs of the dis
trict, and has the ability to see
that those needs are met in 50
far as they would come within
the purview of a congressman
Being more a. business man than
a politician, his first thought
would naturally be given to ma:
terial rather than to political af-
fairs. He is loyal to his party,
to his friends and to his section.
He is thoughtful, practical and
fresourceful.
If the Democratic party will
nominate Frank r. Hewitt fol
Congress he will be elected be,
cause he will deserve to be elect.

tive of which every member Of
his party in the Tenth Districi
would be proud. s.

Was Miss Holman Misquoted.
Charlotte Observer.


There naturally arises the question
whether Miss Lydia Holman, the
trained nurse who has been quoted
as misrepresenting the mountain
people so grossly, has been correctly
reported. In the current issue of The
Uplift we find the belief expressed
that she has not. "In recital OF her
experiences to the editor of this
paper" it is said, "Miss Holman
never once uttered a severe criticism
OF the people-she did not picture the
conditions as once upon a time a no.
torious liar did about a people in the
very best and most advanced section
of the State. Miss Holman impressed
US that her heart was in her work
and that in this section she found
much to do, and we noted how free
her remarks we're of a suggestion of
anything narrowing other than that
the people lived close to natures
heart and follow closely simple life"
But as largely invalidating this con-
viction We note that the original re-
port OF Miss Holman's address ap-
peared as local story in the Phila-
delphia North American. n thorough
~ reputable and car, ~: n."s~+r"i,
and that no denial from Aii~s IT,. ,imau
herself has been heard vet. H., re are
some people who would talk very diff
ferently upon such subjects in North
Carolina and in Pennsylvania. 1t
looks as il Miss Holman is one OF
these.

Prize CORN Yields.

The announcement recently that a
boy in South Carolina has established
a record OF 22S bushels of corn on an
acre of ground recalls some records
that have been made in Southern
States before this time. This BOYS
record comes into the second place,
being led only with that yield report
ed from Bennettsville, S. c., several
years ago when 256 bushels was pro-
duced from a single acre, and the
next largest was at Garner, N. c.,
where 2268 bushels were made on q
single acre in 1909 by J. F. Bats.
James Wilson, secretary OF agricul-
ture, one OF the best aud wisest men
in the public life of the nation, gave
diplomas OF agriculture last fall to
four Southern boys for yields OF corn,
as follows: South Carolina, 152b
bushels; Mississippi, 147 bushels;
North Carolina 1876 bushels, and
Virginia, 122 bushels on single acre.
From a number of experiments con-
Quoted by DR.. S. A. Knapp, chief of
the farmers cooperative demonstra-
ton work of the department. of agri-
culture, last year, it was established
that the average yield of corn on ex-
pertinent fields in the South ranged
from 10 to 125 bushels per acre.
