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.
