Mitchell Lee .Shipman, son of
Francis. NJ, and Martha "A. Shipman,
was born. ins Crab Greek township,
Henderson county, North Carolina,
december 81, 1866, being the. eldest
and only living son Of a family of
sQns and. nine daughters. The

fortunes of Lee, Jackson and other
heroes s 81 the Lost cause for four.
LONG wears. returned to his native
heath III. April 1865 to find all of his
earthly holdings destroyed and the
country. devastated by the cruel hand
of war. Bit like so many devoted sons.
of the South, he set about to assist
his comrades in rebuilding the waste
places and wrestling the State from
the grasp Of plu1aerers aand~ scala
wags. Yet the direful results of
that unfortunate struggle, coupled
with family ~misfortunes, prevented
himdater Qn9rom giving financial IN
couragement to his son in the effort
to cmpIete his education and the lat
ter was*.a~ necessarily compelled 70
"work ont his own salvation III
that regard, and succeeded finally il
completing the common school
branches.
By the time he reached his major
ity young Mr.. Shipman lad acquired
sufficient Information to enable him
to obtain a teachers second-grade GER
tifcate during the summer of 1890
and the following autumn he taught
his first public school in one of the
mountain districts of Pennsylvania
county. Attended school, at the
BreVard Academy the next winter
and made such rapid progress that "a
first-grade certificate, was issued to
him at the annual examination of APP
pl1cants for teachers certificates in
July, 1891. Again he taught school
IN the same county from July until
October Of that year, when the ciii-
zenS OF Brevard induced him to pur-
chase the defunct Western North
taTOlinlan, the third newspaper to
suspend operations In that town, and
establish the Pennsylvania Hustler,
which five years later was moved to
H~endersonville, Henderson county,
Where 1t served the two counties for
some time and * still being publish
ed under the direction of MI. Ship

In 1892 Mr.. Shipman was elected

Superintendent Of Public Instruction
for Transylvania county and re-elect-
ed two. years later. The fusion legis-
lature, abolished the Office of superin-
tendent in 1895 and Mr.. Shipman
has since been devoting his time TO
newspaper work, to which calling he
is admirably suited. He has long
taken. an active interest In politics
and is recognized as one of the most
effective. democratic workers of his
age IN the State, having done
valiant service for his party as
chairman of county, senatorial
and congressional executive COM
mittees and also as a member of the
State executive committee for eight
years. He was three times chosen
calendar clerk of the State senate by
the democratic caucus and appointed
to a fourth term by the Principal
Clerk, on account of his peculiar 1T
ness for the work and the untiring
energy he had previously exhibited in
executing the same. He has been
twice chosen first vice-president ami
twice unanimously elected historian
of the North Carolina Press Associa-
ton. The paper he recently read be-
fore that association at Morehead
City tells its own story and is a dis
tinct credit to the author.
The result of MI. Shipman's SUI
perb management of the congress
sional campaign in the tenth
district during the summer and
autumn of 1904 attracted the
attention of democratic leaders
throughout the State and soon
afterwards Commissioner Warner, Of
the North Carolina Bureau of Labor
and Printing, rendered to him the al,-
pointment of Assistant Commission
er, which position he has since held
to the complete satisfaction of every
one connected with the administra-
ton of the State government and the
public at large. Nearly two years
ago he moved his family to Raleigh

FORGERY IS CHARGED
Sam W. Powell, We'll Known in Prescott,
 Under Arrest at Little Rock.

Little Rock, Ark. December 16 Sam w. Powell, until recently state manager in Arkansas for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New York, was ar rested Thursday afternoon by Constable Tom Piet on informa- tion filed by Deputy Prosecutor Helms, charged with forging the name of w. E. Farrell of Cleora. La., to a note for $2,5OO which was discounted by the Mercan- tile Trust Company of this city. Powell gave bond for $1, 1000 and was released pending hearing, and with the understanding that he was to remain under the sur veilance of police officers.
 MT. Powell, who is a son in law of George R. Brown, secre- tary of the Board of Trade, and who has been a prominent mem. Der of Little Rock society, is al legged not only to have forged the note, but is also alleged to have forged MT. Farrell's name to an other note last summer for greater amount, and with having forged other peoples names to notes drawn upon policy holders of his insurance company. It is claimed that he has forged be- tween $25, ,000 and $3O,OOO worth of notes and discounted them with Little Rock banks. It is learned from reliable sources that the German National Bank advanced more than S15,- 900 to Mir. Powell, and that sever al other banks and trust compa- nies did likewise to a lesser ex- tent, with the result that Powell is now in the hole to the extent of about $50, ,000. Of this amount, men acquainted with the situa. tion claim that the banks will lose but little, if any, as Powell is said to have sufficient securiti- es to cover the amount.
 It is stated that Powell has put up as security, not only his S9,- 900 residence in this city, and some other smaller properties, but 12,000 acre farm five miles east of England, Lonoke county, valued at S40,00O.

PRESIDENT so REFERS TO NEGRO
TROOPS ACCUSED OF OUT.
RACES IN TEXAS.
Sends Another Message to the Senate
on the Subject In Which He Sub
nuts Further Testimony in the Case
and Reiterates His Former Opinion
That tho Negroes Dismissed Were
RESPONSIBLE for the Disturbances.

Responsible for the Disturbances.
Washington, Jan. 14.-President
Roosevelt has sent to the senate a
special message regarding the Browns
Vile incident, which gives the addl-
tional evidence collected by Assistant
Attorney General Purdy and Major
Blocksom, who were sent to Texas by
the president to investigate the affair.
The president submitted with his mes
sage various exhibits, including maps
Of Brownsville and Fort Brown,
bandoleer, fifty-three empty shells,
seven ball cartridges picked up in the
streets few hours after the shoot
Ing, three steel jacketed bullets and
some scraps Of tho castings of other
bullets picked out of the houses into
which they had been fred.
The president declares that the EVIL
dence is positive that the outrages OF
Aug. - were committed by some OF
the colored troops that have been
dismissed and that some or all of the
members Of the three companies Of
the Twenty-fifth infantry had knowl-
edge of the deed and have shielded
the guilty ones. The negro troops are
referred to by the president in his
message as midnight assassins" and
he declares that very few, If any, OF
the soldiers dismissed without
honor could have been ignorant of
what occurred. That part of the order
which bars the soldiers from all civil
employment under the government is
revoked by the president. This
clause, the president says, was lack
ing in validity. The discharged troops,
however, will be forever barred from
re-enlisting in the army or navy and
as to this the president says "that
there is no doubt of my constitu'
tional and legal power"

MANY STILL MISSING
DEATH LIST FROM EXPLOSION At
PITTSBURG MAY AMOUNT TO
OVER. THIRTY.

Pittsburg, Jan. 11.-Part1al investi-
cation to ascertain the number of ia
talities that occurred at the Eliza fur
mace of the Jones & Laughlin Steel
company, limited, when an acoumula-
ton of gas exploded, bursting the base
of the large furnaces and showering
tons Of molten metal over about forty
men, was completed at night and shows
that the bodies of twelve men, horribly
have been recovered; from
fifteen to twenty men are missing, it
being generally believed their bodies
were consumed by the hot metal, and
ten are In hospitals terribly burned,
four of them expected to die.
It is doubtful whether the number
Of men killed will ever be known.
From present indications over fifteen
men were caught like rats in trap
by the fiery metal, which flowed over
their bodies to depth Of six feet. No
trace of them, it is said, will ever be
found. OF the dead bodies now in the
morgue, several are minus arms, legs,
and heads, while the others are
burned and twisted beyond recogni-
ton. The condition of the injured is
pitiful. A number Of men have their
eyes burned out and others were so
badly injured that amputation of arms
and limbs were necessary.
