Greensboro, y. G, June quite Il
novel political development has been
brought about By the issuance last
night by the secretary Of state OF clia
tiers for the establishment of two .laily ,
morning papers in Greensboro under
republican auspices. Congressman Z.
Spencer Blackburn, upon organizing
the Tar Heel Club here six months
ago, began the work. Of obtainig sub
scribers to stock for the publication of
Il morning daily republican newspaper
in Greensboro. Sufficient stock had
been subscribed but taking out char
ter had been delayed on account of his
absence in Mexico.
Upon returning this week he found
that another paper, TO be called an in
dustrial paper, had been promoted by
Ex-senator Marion Butler and L.
III. Mcneil, from Washington, and to
this paper State Chairman Rollins and
almost all the federal ~officeholders in
the stae who have been bitterly fight
ing Blackburn and his TAI Heel Club
Organization had given their adher-
Ience. EX-Chief Justice of the Indian
Court in Oklahoma Spencer +. Adams
went to Raleigh yesterday and got Il
lcharter for the "B~utler-AIcNeili indie
pendent Industrial' paper, and in al
liiGur afterwards Blackburn secured a
ICharter for a "R%epublican" paper with
ICapital Of $4,000. \ serious fractional
flight seems to be h prospect, and is
lcertainly now on, for upon his return
from Raleigh on "A belated train last
might Blackburn was met by many
prominent Republicans from different
lparts of western North Carolina, who
lhad a conference with him for several
Ihours, presumably over the newspaper
lembrOgliO.
Although first to get a charter from
the secretary of state, and first TO file
lit On record in the clerks Office in
Greensboro, the "InduStriar' neWspa-
lDer corporation which was promoted
first by Ex-senator Marion Butler, fell
lbehind his morning, for at the early
lhOur of 2 O'clock, after an all night
conference, the Tar Heel Club partisan
: political Republican newspaper, organ
lied by Blackburn, reported progress
to the extent that not only had they
= IOrganized under their charter, but al
:. detection of officers had been effected
, land all arrangements made to begin
D the publication of '"The Daily Ia
Heel, in Greensboro with in the mex
. NINETY days.
> So far as talk" goes the Blackburn
l forces are certainly the aegressors il
{ 1.-The fight now. Those identified wit
} 1.-THE other movement are not doing an.
. talking for publication, except to re
: lsent being called Buffers confedel
s. )ates." On the other hand Blackburn
: ..rubs it in" numerically, and took
y rev crack at them this morning. A
lbe exhibited his letter from Cnalrma
u Rollins, he said. Judge Adams ca
) ~lclares that he will repudiate anythln
IF with which Butler is Connected. "Ro
'l$ Inns, our stae chairman, writes IN
y, hold on, get the exact language,
e have subscribed to the Marion Butter

)t (which I understand is to be known {
l. the North State: it is time now for e,
