Abstract:

Eastern North Carolina planter Elias Carr entered state agricultural politics in the 1880s after over 20 years as master of Bracebridge Plantation in Edgecombe County. He was elected president of the North Carolina Farmer's Association in 1887 and the organization was absorbed into the North Carolina Farmers' Alliance the same year. Carr served as executive committee chairman (1887-1889) and later president (1889-1891) of the Alliance. Through his time as a leader of the Alliance, Carr worked with others to improve the stability and strength of the organization.

Abstract:

Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad’s history included its merger in 1870, joining the Eastern North Carolina Dispatch in 1877, the election of James A. Bryan as company president in 1899, its renaming to the Atlantic and North Carolina Company by Richard S. Howland; and Howland’s consolidation of the Atlantic and North Carolina Company with five other railroad companies. The author coincides the multi-railroad company merger with railroads ceding to ships as a major transporting source by the early twentieth century.
