" Press comment" from all over 'the .State characterises the meet ing as onev?., the most epochal ver chronicled - in the commer cial history of North Carona.

Those who heard him at Raleigh say rthat he was at his best. Of special interest to Elizabeth -"City and eastern North Carolina is the fact that when the perma nent organization was affected a . -citizen Of Elizabeth City was made vice-president. This was "Mr. Noah Burfoot, a member of ; the firm of Flora & Company; and therefore in a position to be con versant with freight nlte condi tions in. this section. - The fur ther act that Mr. BUrfoof was for many years in the employ of the Norfolk Southern , itauroad in its freight department adds to his fitness for his position, and makes more "Evident the" visdom Mof the association in nominating "'him. It is perhaps interesting to .-.add that his Domination was due to the ready tongue of Mr. J.H, LeRov, who put Mr. Burfoot's name before the association. . There was a sharp fight over the matter of electing a President of the 'organization. -The leading candidates were w. R. Foreman chairman of the' temporary organ ization, and Fred K.

Mr. Tate is the man who 3t for North Carolina a furni tore freight rate that compares favorably with that of Virginia or any other State ; and he is ex pected to know how to lead the freicht rate association in, its present fight. .'
