Vanderbilts clash over platform at North Carolina meeting
Governor Morrison led Vanderbilts at the North Carolina Agricultural Society annual gathering where Mrs. Kaith Vanderbilt was reelected president for a fourth term. The session saw factional tension over a proposed platform and who should run on it, with General Carr and others urging order while some wanted a formal pledge before the presidential vote. Farmers reported a strong cotton season with high yields and value, and statewide job placements and new corporate filings were noted alongside a delegation list for a national anti saloon league convention. A pardon was granted to Buck Griffin for a tobacco barn arson case, with commutations in other sentences for health and justice considerations.
