The arrangement is for the steamer to leave Elizabeth City to morrow, Tuesday afternoon, about 3 o'clock after the arrival of the through Norfolk and Southern train. The President and executive" com mittee of ilie Association have uig ently requested that the delegates from Eastern North GaroMna go In this way. Nearly all the delegates from the northern seaboard will ar rive In Norfolk by steamer and will traverse the several waterways In that section. " The purpose of our go ing In that way la to afford an object lesson to the country. To this end we had a conference In this town with .representatives from Beaufort. Morohead City. New Bern. Washington. Greenville. Kdenton and Elizabeth City and it was agreed that the delegates from these fowns should go by steamd!" as "SftoV^rTTiTI! cated a, I admit the trip will involve some inconvenience but i believe that dele gates who are going to the conven tion with a serious purposS to aid in this great work will not hesitate to mak^the sacrifice. The cost of the steamer trip will be slight, divided among- the "delegates. Personally I shall make the trip In this manner anji shall abide by the agreement, even If 1 go alone.
