Description | Mitchell Lee Shipman, a staunch Democrat, shifted a struggling newspaper to become the "French Broad Hustler" in Hendersonville, NC, in 1896. Alongside editing, Shipman served as Transylvania County's superintendent of public instruction and chaired the Henderson County Democratic Party. In 1908, he enlisted Noah Hollowell's aid, allowing him to enter politics. Shipman later became North Carolina's Commissioner of Labor and Printing. The paper transitioned from local coverage to highlighting western NC's industrial and transportation progress, reflecting the region's economic growth. Shipman's tenure saw various title changes, ending with the merger into the "Hendersonville News" under Hollowell's ownership. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1916 of this newspaper. |
