French Broad Hustler Inc. at their
last annual meeting in June, have
leased the property for a period of one
year to Messrs Noah M. Hollowel and
: Gordon F. Darlington. The lease be
| came effective on August 4, at which
| time these gentlemen assumed con-
troll of the entire interests of the afore-
said corporation, including both the
newspaper and job printing business.
Permission to lease the plant was re-
uuested on account of increasing OH
| cial responsibilities which render a
continuance of the little service I have
been able to give the business impos-
sible. I realized long since that no
man can serve two masters and the
record will bear me out in the sug-
gestion that the Hustler corporation
has received very little Of my time
during the period / have been connect
ed with the State government. Con-
sidering official duties paramount to
other considerations, / felt impelled to
surrender private interests altogether
and ask that the business be placed in
the hands of parties who were in G.
position to give it their entire time
and attention. 1 have consented to re-
main on the editorial staff and shall
/ contribute such matter from time to
time as l may have opportunity to pre-
pare. One condition of the lease pre-
cludes the possibility of a change in
the long established policy of the pa
FER and this means that it will con-
tinue to preach the doctrine of democ-
racy pure and undefled as it has been
| tic ing for the enter twenty-five years
of it's existence.
The two capable and energetci young
men who have decided to pool their
efforts in the management of the bus
mess and the publication of the paper,
are too we'll known in Hendersonville
to need any introduction. Both of
them have been associated with the
/ usiness for the past five years and
are thoroughly conversant with it's
iced sand capabilities, Mr.. HoIlowell
has done service on the Asheville
Daily Citizen, the Hendersonville Daily
Herald and a number of weekly pub
locations, besides serving as CORE
spondent for many big morning dailies.
He was confidential clerk to Congress
man Gudger for awhile and now holds
the position of Journal Clerk of the
State Senate. He is devoted to news
paper work and appears to be especial
~ fitted for it. Two months ago Mr..
Hollowell resigned his position with
the Hustler Company and became the
assistant secretary of the Greater
Western North Carolina Fair Associa-
ton, which place he will retain until
The fair is over in October. Mr.. Gar
lington has for three years past been
business manager Of the company,
which position he will retain under
the new arrangement. He was en-
Pioyed by the Asheville Gazette-News,
the S%partanburg Daily Journal and
ether similar publications, prior 10
connecting himself with the Hustler
company, and has a wide experience
in his special line of work. He comes
CT genuine newspaper stock, is a fine
solicitor and close application to duty
will result in signal success along the
line of endeavor he has elected to
prosecute. During his residence in
Hendersonville Mr.. Darlington has at
tracted a number of strong personal
friends who will doubtless gladly
unite in their support of his latest
business venture.
In conclusion, | wish to say that
while my business relations with the
paper and the company cease for the
present, I am still vitality interested in
the success Of both, as we'll as in the
continued growth of progressive Hen
! Gersonville. Sometime in the not dis
tant future, I expect to return to "my
old love" and spend the remainder O.:
my earthly existence amongst the ma
jestic hills of Western North Carolina
which I verify believe is destined to
become the playground of the world
l most heartily commend the new
management of the Hustler Company
to the public and bespeak for it the
generous support and cooperation tina!
has been accorded to me during the
years I have e~ndeavored to serve the
people of our delightful section.
Most respectfully,
NJ. L. SHIPMAN.
