Painting Campaign ii the south.

and, perhaps, no better or more effec-
tive movement was ever inaugurated
for the development Of Southern terrf-

with weather beaten, tumble down
buildings that have never seen coat

one who might be interested IN coming
into that section with a view of invest

ALARGE POTATO.
p,ouVbt to the Hustler Offye Raised
by Henderson County Man.

The Hustler Office received a very
spe specimen of Irish potato Friday
norning when Mr.. I'll. D. Hyder
thought a sample Weighing two and
, marter pounds into the office. This
particular kind of potato was first
grown out in Montana in the little
town of Bowsman where ]. M. Clarke
formerly of this county and long
time subscriber of the Hustler has
lived for the past ten years. Mr..
clarke sent the potatoes to Hender-
sonville by MIR. Hyder who has been
visiting him for the past month and
returned to Hendersonville a short
time ago. cit is Mortgage Inter
brand potatoes which Mr.. Clarke
raises and have brought two bushels
to this county tc raise for seed. There
is no reason why we cannot raise just
such potatoes for we have far better
soil than l saw out in Montana where
these potatoes grew" told Mr.. Hyder
to a Hustler representatives.

Honesty in business and in Che Palplt.

Honesty I'm Business and i'm the Pulpit.
The Rev DR. Campbell, pastor CT the
City Temple, London, says that mo
successful business man in modern
times can be honest" The statement
is reported to have incensed the Phil
adelphia business men to whom it was
addressed, and it is calculated to in
cense everybody who has regard for
the truth.
There is dishonesty in business as
there is dishonesty In all matters of
life, but the amount of honesty far ex-
ceeds the amount of dishonesty. II it
did not, society would disintegrate. If
business men generally proceeded on
the theory that they had to be dishon-
est to succeed, there would be no bus
mess but return TO the primitive
conditions OF barter.
So sweeping an Indictment of the
integrity OF an entire class is false on
its face and needs no refutation. But
/ ii does deserve rebuke as the utter
ance of the clergyman who occupies
Joseph Parker's pulpit and has the
reputation of being the foremost Eng
fish reyivalist New York World.

sOHhEY,s LAST LETTER.
Written Co JOHN temple Graves TO-
Give Thanks for Justice Az LAST.

Give Thanks Tor Justice ak Hask
This is probably one or the last let
ters written by Admiral Schley, and so
far as known is the only written com
ment he ever made on the criticised
maneuverS OF the Brooklyn nc the bat
tie OF Santiago:
Mt. K1sco, N. X, Sept. %, 1911.
MY Dear SirIt is with infinite;
pleasure that / read your editorial q
few days ago prompted by Admiral
Chadwick admission that the Brook
lyn's part In the battle or Santiago
vas the determining factor OF that
great combat. and In thanking you for
your masterful review 81 the matter II
ought to say that just 100 years be-.
fore at St Vincent, Lord Nelson did
the same thing in wearing ship away
from the Spanish lines TO secure an
advantage which led to the capture OF
the Spanish admiral with a large
number Of his vessels Again during
the war Of 1872 with Great Britain,
Captain Stephen Decatur, during the
| light between the United States and
Mace onion, wore ship to gain an adj
vantage which eliminated i'm dismast-
ing the enemy's vessel and her cap
ture ultimately. -.
To foil the enemy purpose, that
was evident. and tc, gain an advantage
lsof similar value on July 5, 1898, the
BroOklyn's maneuver was made with
the result that every vessel of the enc
my was destroyed and every one OF
/ the men, alive or dead, including the
admiral himSelf, fell into CUR hands.
Could anything more complete have
happened in the war? Or could the
most captious have required more in a
1 combat? It was SO evidently the crux
of the situation that have never felt
in the least sensitive over the criticism
lof those who were in no position OF
danger or exposure as was. Indeed,
ones harshest critics are those who
are always ready to tell what should
have been done after battle has been
4 fought, but who never venture sug-
gestion before It commences.
in lifetime Of service under the
flag the one purpose always uppermost
in my mind and heart has been to 10y
ally serve my country, my people and
the flag no matter what the conse-
quences might be to myself, and
thank God in the evening of my days
that have never sought to deprive
anyone why may have helped me tc
success Of the credit or honor which
may have come to me through theil
4 assistance.
Again thanking you, my dear sir,
beg TO subscribe myself gratefully
your obedient servant,
