WHITNEY POWER MAY COME.
Negotiations Pending Which May Result
In Untold Benefit to Greensboro—Local
Business Men Visit the Great PlaRt on
the Yadkln.
Greensboro received a visit Thursday
from a distinguished party of gentle-men
and one which may result in
great benefit to the city. Representa-tives
of the Wbituey Power Company
were here looking over the field, with
a view to bringing their electrical
power to this place. Those iu the
party were George I. Whitney, of
Pittsburg, president of the company;
Charles Staley, also of Pittsburg; J. J.
Keunedy, chief engineer; John 8. Hen-dersou,
of Salisbury, counsel and local
manager; T. A. Gillespie.of New York,
contractor, and C. W. Smith, superin-tendent
of quarries.
The principal object of the visitors
was to look over tbo Cone mills here,
which they did in compauy with Mr.
Ceasar Coue. They were much pleased
with these mills, and it is practically
certain that if they can secure a con-tract
to supply them with what power
they use they will come to Greensboro.
The total amount of power used by
the manufacturing industries of Greeus-boro
is approximately 10,000 horse-power.
The White Oak, the Revolu-tion
and the Proximity mills use close
to 6,000, and so it can be readily seen
that their action in the matter will
have a very great bearing on the ques-tion.
Business men here say that the com-ing
of this power cumpauy to Greens-boro
would mark a new era iu the de-velopment
of her manufacturing In-dustries.
The use of electrical power
in a factory does away with the neces-sity
of a steam equipment, and is u
very material saving iu the iuitiai cost
of such a plaut. The difficulty in the
way of the Cnues using the Whitney
power is that they have their steam
pojver and equipment, of a very costly
character, already iustalled, aud to
make a satisfactory disposal of this
would be a difficult problem, still some
way may be found to reach a solution
; of i lie matter.
The Whitney party went from here
to High Point, where they had a con-ference
with the manufacturing inter- i was a devout Christian, and practiced
ests there. They are figuring on deliv-. tue principles he professed. For many

undertaking, but every detail has been
studied and figured with the utmost
care and accuracy. Those who have
seen it as well as those who have their
money in it have implicit faith in a
great future for it.
Opera House Attractions for Next Week.
Manager-C. T. Fuller has prepared a
theatrical treat for the hundreds and
thousands of visitors who will throng
Greensboro next week. He has booked
high class attractions for every night,
selecting the same with a view to
pleasing popular tastes.
Monday and Tuesday nights "Mr.
Bluebeard," a charming musical com-edy,
will be staged. On Wednesday
night "The Tourists," another musical
comedy that has found favor the couu-try
over, will be presented by an excep-tionally
strong company. Tbureday
night Miss Florence Davis will appear
here in her new play that has created
such a sensation. For Friday Dight
another standard attraction that has
made good everywhere, "On the Bridge
at Midnight," has been secured. A de-licious
morsel in the nature af a comic
opera is scheduled for Saturday night,
"Peggy from Paris," with Miss Helen
Brown iu the leading role. All these
attractions will be welcomed by the
theatre-going public, and in addition
will serve to entertain the city's guests
who will be here in such numbers. A
week of continuous pleasure is in store
everyone who may come.
Another Aged Citizen Dies.
Death has removed uuother aged
Citizen of Greensboro, Mr. James T.
Carson, the end coming Monday night
at 10.30. Just a week had elapsed siuce
the death of bis wife.
Mr. (..'arson was eighty years old. He
is survived by his only daughter, Miss
Mary Carson. Death was caused by a
complication of diseases Incident to
age. For several years he had been
gradually declining, and iu recent
weeks inable to leave his bed.
The deceased eujoyed tiie fullest

who knew him longest and best. He

way of Salisbury, Lexington, Thomas -
ville aud High Point, which is a total
of about seventy-live miles.
On Friday a number of Greensboro
1 men visited Whitney, leaving here on
' an early traiu couveying a large party
of English cotton spinners who are in
this country on a tour of inspectiou.
The visitors, including a delegation
from High Point and the foreign guests
were handsomely entertained at the
Wbituey company's club house, "Fort
Fiuley," and spent a delightful day
viewing the wonderful developments
of that section. Those who went from
Greensboro were Messrs. C. D. Benbow,
M. W. Thompson, H. Sternberger, G.
8. Bradshaw, L. J. Brandt, J. S. Kuy-keudall,
O. C. Wysong, C. M. Vanstory,
J. W. Scott aud John S. Cuuuiiigham.
High Point was well represented by
a committee composed of Messrs. J.
Klwood Cox. J. K. Kirkmnn, K. A.
Bencini, F. M. Pickett aud W. T.
Parker, from the Manufacturers' Club,
who were there with Greensboro's
committee and who are equally enthu-siastic
over the prospects for their in-dustrial
plants. It Is believed by both
committees that High Point and
Greensboro will in the near future be
able to get a great impetus from the
power which will be furnished from
that place aud by that compauy.
It is figured that the Whitney plant
will not be completed before the 1st
day of July of next year when it will
be in a position to furnish Greensboro
all the power that may be needed at
figures which will enable the city aud
her industrial plants to save a large
per cent of what is now being expend-ed.
Already the Whitney Company has
expended about five million iu the
equipment of the colossal plant. There
is no estimating what this great con-cern
may be worth to this immediate
section of North Carolina.
Greensboro's committee speak in the
highest terms of the cordiality and
hospitality of the reception accorded to
them and are not less loud in their
praise of the wonderful plant which
the Whitney Company is building for
the development of piedmont North
Carolina.
The company owns eleven thousand
acres on either side of the Yadkin
river and is building a canal more than
four miles in length. This canal will

Arrangements Completed for the Big
Central Carolina Fair Next Week.
Secretary Daniel announces that
everything is in readiness for the big
Central Carolina fair next week, and
from what has been accomplished the
greatest fair ever held in this section is
assured. The entries in all depart-ments,
with the possible exception of
fruit, will be larger than ever before,
while the special features and racing
events are far beyond those of former
years. The railroads have granted
rates that will add materially to the
average attendance.
Wednesday, Bryan Day, will doubt-less
surpass all others in point of
attendance, as Mr. Bryan's presence
will attract men from all over the state.
His speech will be of a non-partisan
nature but a dhcui-.siou of public affairs
that thinking men will waut to hear.
The banquet to be given iu his honor
Wednesday night will afford bim an
opportunity for a political deliverance.
Mr. Bryan will be entertained while
here by Hon. A. L. Brooks.
Thursday is everybody's day. The
racing, the free attractions, the music,
aud the maishal's ball at night and
other features, will afford ample pleas-ure
for everyone.
Friday, (jreeusboro Day, will see a
repetition of all the special features, be-sides
the big tournament.
Numerous social events and excep-tional
theatrical attractions will afford
our people aud their guests an abund-ance
of diversions for every night of the
week. Come along and visit the beet
city in the state and the best fair in the
state.
Three Mies Offered.
Nine of the fourteen members of the
board of trustees of the Stonewall Jack-sou
Manual Training and Industrial
School were present at a meeting of
that body held here last night, called
primarily to adopt a constitution and
bylaws, elect a superintendent and se-lect

of Halelgh, were continued iu cilice

Mr. Ceasar Cone, was directed to de-posit
the state appropriation of $5,000
aud all subscriptions and contributions
in a Greensboio bank. Concord, Statea-ville
aud Greensboro submitted offers
of sites, but some of them were not
quite defiuite enough to suit the board
aud the matter was left open for the
lime being. It is hoped that offers will

not the city should issue bonds to can-cel
its floating indebtedness of $125,000.
Out of a total registration of 51S there
were but 347 votes cast, and of those
only 8 were against the proposition.

day Nlgnt,
On Friday night at the Smith Me-morial
Building the first of a series of
entertainments for the benefit of the
Young Women's Christian Association
will be given. The attraction for that
night will be iu the form of a lecture
delivered by Captain Richmond Pear-eon
Hobson, the hero of the Merrimac.
Captain Hobmn is widely known as a

this occasion will no doubt be well
pleased with their venture. As stated
above the lecture will be for the benefit
of the local Y. W. C. A., and the mem-bers
of this organization are selling

Salisbury special to Charlotte Ob-server:
Supt. 1. C. Griffin, of tbe Balis-bury
graded schools, is too modest to
tell it, but bis speller, in which Mr.
Thomas Rosweli Fouet, of Greensboro,
had a hand, and which was adopted
by the state board of education, has
had phenomenal Bales, surpassing all
expectations. A third partner iu this
work was Miss Edna McCubbine, of
Salisbury, and the tbree put a work
out that was a great credit to them,
and it gives the eternal negative to tbe
contention that poverty is tbe patri-mony
of tbe muses and schoolteachers,
tbe unluckiest of people. Tbe sales
flatter every band in tbe big work.
