To the Editor: / read with interest

Worthington has announced that he will
soon write and publish book contain
ing history of the Albemarle section
This will be a book of interest and inn
portance, for the Albemarle section can
furnish historical incidents equal to, il
State. Ut is important that these facts
be correctly detailed. As this sketch
of DR.. Shaw will contain the first part
of the Forthcoming book, / beg leave in
the best spirit to call Col. Worthington's
attention to what seems to be erroneous
statement of facts, as they appear in
his article in Sundays paper.
He says: I'm 1851 he was elected TO
the Senate of North Carolina" etc. DIR.
Shaw to my recollection was elected to
the Senate of North Carolina in August,
1852 An Intellectual attempt was made
to unseat him. He did make in his
own defence one Of the finest and
grandest speeches ever made in the
North Carolina Senate.
Col. Worthington says, ''He exhibited
so much tact, eloquence and resource,
that at one bound, he became the lead
er of that assembly" The facts are,
and the records show that for the bal
ance of the session he was reticent, he
did not make another speech, or take
any part, otherwise, than to vote on all
questions as his judgment sugges-
ted was for the States best interest.
Again he says. in 1850, in the Con-
gressional election he had a foeman in
all respects worthy of his steel, Colonel
David Outlaw" The year 1850 was
not Congressional year. Before the
war all the even years We're the years
of election for Governors and members
of the Legislature, and the odd years
were for Congressman and for clerks of
