| Greensboro, n. c., Sept. 2.-The
only thing which could be learned
/ from participants in the conference of
the Tar Heel managers last night was
! that a resolution of secrecy was unani-
mously adopted and that every menu
Der of the conference has given strict
' obedience to the Injunction Maybe the
Tar Heel crowd have taken warning
! from the fate of the grand jurors for
revealing secrets in their experience
before Judge Boyd at Charlotte last
! June.
Despite this resolution of secrecy,
| it has leaked out that something de1i-
mite was decided on, since the confer
ence had a report from the business
manager, Mr.. r. d. Laws, of the yell
low Jacket, which was so encouraging
that they proceeded to select an edi-
tor-in-chief and the honor was con-
ferred upon Mr.. G. S. Bradshaw, of
Greensboro. Whether the Daily Tar
Heel will be daily, a weekly or a
| tri-weekly, could not be learned.
President of the Tar Heel Club and
chief promoter of the Daily Tar Heel
who used to be so free with his ideas
and so kind in communicating them
| to reporters has for several weeks
been silent as the grave, declining in
word for publication, while speaking
whole volumes for entertainment. All
| that he will say is, that if the public
will only wait a little longer, he will
speak a parable that will cause q rat
| Ting of the dry bones in some quar-
ters of North Carolina Republ1canlsm
FOR pretended Republicanism. He
never even told this correspondent that
he had purchased a lot in Blowing
Rock and was going to build house
and move back to the county of his
birth, noble, beautiful old Watauga.
He is not going to live in Greensboro,
really the most accessible point to his
constituents of the Eighth district. He
| isn't going to live in Salisbury, but
he is going back home, even to Blow
! ing Rock. He registered today as liV-
| ing in the District of Columbia, but
after he gets settled at Blowing Rock,
| he will no longer have the burden
! of not knowing exactly where is his
| legal roosting place, and may be able
to give his thoughts to bigger and
| lesser harassing subjects. During his
residence in Greensboro, Mr.. Black
| burn has been a welcome and agree
able citizen and his family have made
many friends, who sincerely regret this
news of their breaking up for good
and leaving. 1t is understood that
their handsome residence on Summit
avenue will be rented out.
The electric light plant at White
Oak Cotton Mills which is one of the
| largest private plants in the South, was
completed yesterday, accepted by the
manager and began work today. Mr..
w. r. Chapman, superintended the
work of installing the plant. An idea
| of it's extent can be gained from the
! fact that in one of the immense rooms
of the MILL there are 800 arc lights
of 900 candle power each.
| Yesterday the foundations to the
Greensboro Electric Company's pow
err house was commenced. The foun-
dations for the addition to the gas
plant were commenced several days
| ago.
