Two Republican Papers.
8 Political sentiment has crystallized in
North Carolina this week by the &C
knowledged division in the republican party
indicated In the incorporation of two re-
publican papers to be located in Green's
boro by the two factions of that party.
Spencer Blackburn, representative and
Marion Butler, ex-United States senator.
lead the two factions, the object of each
being to gain control of that party in the
state. 1t is said that the foremost republi-
can and one of the strongest men in the
state. regardless of party, Judge Jeter c.
Pritchard favors Blackburn as state
leader. and is lending his support at
Washington. Blackburn's views and plans
in the interest of the party more fully
met the views and appreciation of the
judge, while the interviews of many promi-
nent republicans of the state brings out the
fact that few favor Senator Butler. The
names of the two companies incorporated
are Industrial Publishing Company and
the Tar Heel Publishing Company: Judge
Spencer B. Adams is of the leading
incorporators of the first company, and
Representative Spencer Blackburn is back
of the Tar Heel Company, and the estab-
lishing OF these two companies evidently
means great battle between the two
factions, though both Judge Adams and
Representative Blackburn claim that no
fractional fight is to be made, but that they
will work for upbuilding of the party in
North Carolina. Ex-senator Butler. who
sent letters from Washington advising the
establishment of a republican paper in the
state, is not mentioned a stakeholder OF
either paper. The democratic press is Civ
