[W.K. Carr was the son of Elias Carr, one-time Governor of North Carolina. His papers are held at East Carolina University. Within his papers, "a significant portion of the correspondence for 1889-1894 concerns the political, financial, and social comments of Carr's son, W. K. Carr, in Washington, D.C. W. K. Carr comments on the Sub-Treasury Plan fight in Congress and Senator Vance's role(1890), the money scare in Washington, D.C. (1890), and national financial reform (1890-1894). W. K. Carr advised Elias Carr in his administration and wrote numerous speeches for his father (1892-1894). He also comments on the silver issue, the efforts of the Populist Party, and the appointment of Thomas J. Jarvis as Senator from N.C. (1892-1894)."See East Carolina University archives, "Guide to the Elias Carr Papers, 1896-1900, Manuscript Collection #160. .http://digital.lib.ecu.edu/special/ead/view.aspx?id=0160 ]
