Excerpt from Anti-Slavery Leaders of North Carolina When, about three years ago, I began to make a study of Slavery in North Carolina I found that there were some men like Mr. Helper, Prof. Hedrick, and Mr. Goodloe, whose participation in the anti-slavery cause demanded a more extended notice than it was possible to give in a gen eral treatment of the subject. Consequently, I have pre pared the present sketches. I offer them to the public because it does not seem good that the personalities of North Carolina's contributors to the anti-slavery cause should be forgotten. For assistance in this work my thanks are due to Mr. Helper, Mr. Goodloe, Mr. Charles J. Hedrick, of George town, D. C., and Dr. Dred Peacock, of Greensboro, N. C.
