Editor Hustler,
Dear Sir: Though at present in the
state of New York I am a citizen of
Hendersonville where I have built up
a pleasant home on West Academy St.
I learn that there is a project in con
templation to dam up the "Ochlawaha''
and form a lake over the marsh lands
in proximity to that stream.
Now I am hot a chronic growler nor
an "old timer" or mossbank, who
would oppose, or stand in the way of
any enterprise which is feasible, and
has for its object the promotion of the
interests or beautifying the surround
ings of our fine and attractive little
city. But 'I have my doubts and fears
as to the practibility of effecting this
scheme or project, except at an enor
mous expense and of doubtful results,
even at best.
In the first place, such a lake, to be
satisfactory, must be deep enough to
drown out the growth of all trees, bush
es, water plants, eel grass, reeds and
rushes, pond lilies, etc.. and this I
fear- would require the construction of
a great and extensive dam of large pro
portions and at an enormous expense;
as a weak affair which would be break
ing away occasionally, would be indeed
an expensive nuisance ai d be very un
satisfactory. Then besides all this, is
it possible or practicable to cover all
the present marsh or bottom lands so
as to not form additional marsh lands
at the head and sides of the lake which
would defeat or more i "ian overbalance
all the good accompli, bed? I fear it
would be a vast frog i end. Do not let
us be deceived by " x oxaway, n as the
situation there is very different Lake
Toxaway is formed in a deep vaHey;
surrounded by mountain and hill land;
thus forming precipitous,Jdry, and well
defined shores; whereby with a short
dam the most beautiful lake I ever be
held is tormed: though I was reared in
the famous lake country of Western
New York, between the Seneca and
Caynga lakes.
Now I do not to be misunderstood as
opposing this scheme, but have ray
fears that after a careful survey of the
situation by practical engineers, the
project will not be found feasible.

The Charlotte Observer says; 'The
Hendersonville Hustler wears a huge
red head ou its latest issue, proclaiming
throug this that the outlook in the tenth
congressional district is extremely en
couraging. We are glad to get the
good news, but disprove of the manner
of heralding it. Though the Observer
sets great store by red heads they must
be in the He lit place. It has a pain at
the sight of a red-headed newspaper."

Dear Sir: A pound of good meat and
. . . . 1 1M
no bone is worm more man a nan-
pound of meat and a half-pound of bone;
but there are, as you say, a great
many people who won't pay more than
a certain price by the ponnd. Give
'em bone; that's right; give 'em plenty
of bone!
There are people who won't pay
more than $1.50 a gallon for paint;
give 'em bone!
There's no better school than experi
ence; cost us high, but the lesson is ne
ver forgotten.
Let a man paint iwo houses alike,
same size, one De?oe, the other that
$1.50 paint. He buys 10 gallons ef
each, and pays $3 a day for labor $3 a
day is $3 a gallon, easier reckoning.
He has to buy two gallons more of
the $1.50 paint; and has two gallons left
of Devoe; 12 gallons $1.50, $18; 8 gallons
$1.75; $14; $J4 more tor "cheap" paint.
He pays $3 a gallon for painting: 8
gallons $24; 12 gallons $36, $12 more
or paintinig "cheap,' paint.
He' 11 buy the less-gallons paint after
that. If people are slow to learn, it' s
because they keep-on buying bone
meat. Give 'em plenty of bone.
Yours truly
