a.: call from Charles' H.' Ireland, of
Greensboro, president !of the 'North
Carolina -:.;TrafRo Association, to, at

and which the northern trunk lines
cre now endeavoring to have taken
away.
. , Organization Needs Bolstering "
The North Carolina Traffic ' Asso
ciation, recen tly : formed, is function
iS at the present time, but needs bol
stering and co-eperation from the
shippers of the state as' a whole, the
rreeting, next month . having been
cjuled with that end in view. The
state association is co-operating in
the campaign with the South Atlantic
States . Association;" with. ' Matthew
I7ct!e as president, which has succeed
ed in securing ine coast city rates
corresponding, to the Virginia cities
rates: This was done largely through
tho instrumentality of Mr. Hale.. ' '
There,, is an effort, however, 'being
i made on the part of ; the northern
trunk -lines .to abolish these rates,
and steps have already been taken
look (fug1 to that end, s? the shippers
of North Carolina, says Mr. Ireland 1
in his leiter should act together as
a state organization. lie points out!
that ..South Carolina and Georgia are
not going to fight for North -Carolina
up-state city rates, and appeals' to the
siiippers to join the fight in i order to
remove "these inequalities." .

publican party was . first named and

recorded republican meeting was held
sixtVsix years ago. The approach ! eemmittee

Francis - 0urtis, in .hi history of ' the

that t Were, was no considerable 'giith-l

and policies, until, Mr. A.' E. Bovay, a1
V'hig,f Ripon," Vis., together 'with'
a Mr: Bo wen, a democrat, and a Mr. '
Baker; a f ree-soiler, issued a. call for;
a public meeting to consider the now'
alarming situation."
The great issue of the hour was
the-extension of slavery Of the poi
litical situation prefacing the forma-!'
tion of the republican party, Mr. Cur-i
tis says, "No political party was able
to elect enough, members of congress
to overrule the united ywill of the!
slaveholders, and until the anti-slav-i
ory sentiment of the north should be1
so. welded together, 'and. its expenent .
should be so nnited in one party a
to be able to send .to Washington
