M. L. SHIPMAN,
CaIondar Clerk of the Senate.

In writing of the General Assembly,
and the able Democrats who compose it,
l think it would be incomplete without
a mention of the able clerks who make
the records of the proceedings. Con-
spicuous among the most capable clerks
of the Senate is Mr. M L. Shipman, the
efficient Calendar Clerk. He was born
in Henderson county, December 81, 1866,

Martha A. Shipman. He was reared on
d farm and obtained only a common
school education in the public schools,
the Pennsylvania High School and the
Brevard Academy. through which schools
he made his way under very adverse cir
cumstances. Mr.. Shipman was an apt
student and was a teacher in the public
schools of Pennsylvania county from

permanent newspaper In Pennsylvania
county. at Brevard, in 1891, The Transyl-
vania Hustler.

most able and acceptable manner Until
the office was abolished by the Fusion
Legislature of 1895. He then returned
to his native county and established the
French Broad Hustler at Hendersonville,
on October /, 1896. which was the first
Democratic newspaper that ever net
with any success in the county During

Supremacy" Mr.. Shipman demonstrated
the ability of himself and the value of
his paper by making strong and eff
cient fight, and by doing much to reduce
the Republican majority.

made the best showing on the vote for
the Amendment Of any county in the
West.

NO MORE DEFICITS.
Chairman Doughton Says Revenue
Act Will Raise Enough Money.

To the Editor: 1t is my opinion that
the revenue law enacted for 1903 will
produce revenue sufficient to meet all
appropriations and demands upon the
state treasury for the years of 1903 and
1904. | base my estimate upon a con
scrVative calculation of the revenue, in
Guiding the income from assessments of
property, and also from additional re-
receipts from schedules Il and G.
While in my opinion the bond issue
was necessary to pay the deficit caused
by the appropriations of the Legislature
of 1901, there ought to be no more de-
ficit, but our income must be and will
be sufficient to meet all proper demands
upon the State. While the revenue will
be greater under the laws of 1903 than
of 1901, tho appropriations amount to
about 100000 less annually
The Revenue act Of 1903 leaves out
some of the objcctional features of the
act of 1901. franchise tax is only paid
to tho State by corporations that is
proper as the State alone grants fran
Chiscs. Corporation reports are now cor
fdcntial and no officer can disclose their
reports. Only the income in excess of
81 eco is listed and the different sources
are not itemized. The merchants tax
was changed the special tax is left off
and the sale feature is more equitable
than before Liquor dealers, express
companies, telegraph companies, oil
dealers and others pay higher taxes than
before. Real estate is valued in the
manner named in the Consttution-that
is at it's true value in money-and not
what il would bring at private sale.

FUNNY ERROR IN

a funny error has been discovered in
the County bill as passed by the Legis-
lature. In the original bin as drafted
by the Republican Commission there is
a provision giving Supervisors control
of public pounds, with the power to
regulate the limits in which animals
MAY run at large. In the bill as finally
passed however this has been changed
to give them control of public grounds
instead of pounds. though no change
was made in the remainder of the sec
tioa- Section 10 of Chapter s conse-
.9usntly reads somewhat peculiarly as
follows:
ITO maintain, regulate and govern
public GROUNDS. fix the limits within
which animals shall not run at large.
and appoint pqnnd keepers, who shall
be paid out OF the fines imposed and
collected from the owners of impounded
