The Association is desirous, if
: possible, of avoiding the detour
from the main line to Raleigh, but
it realizes its obligation to do that
| which our North Carolina friends
:. may consider most agreeable in
! their efforts to honor the memory
t of President Davis, and therefore,
: on motion of Mr.. Elicit, it was re-
Q solved that the president be re-
Q quested to communicate with the
: Governor of North Carolina and
e ask him if it is equally agreeable to
Q have the North Carolina demons!ra.
= ton at Greensboro instead of al
i Raleigh. It has been found alto
g gether impracticable to stop al
Charlotte for any such demonstra
Il ton, inasmuch as the funeral trair
a arrives there at very late hour O.
q the night.
