In the work of collecting certain materials for the illustra tion of the botany of the State, he spent some time in the least healthy portions of it, and at tbo most crit ical season of the year. He aided in patting np the exhibit at our State Exposition and at New Or- t leans... The services rendered -'by him were a free gift to the State; the Department simply paid. his ex penses. j, k; " '-: Dr. Blum, a dentist of good re pute, was and is known for his skill and taste in the art of decoration. For the work done by him the com , Densation was small. i - ' Mr. McNeill, a sKiuiui mecuanic and reliable man, was carried down to do the.carpenter's workr it Wav ing been ascertained that it would cost less in that way than to pay ' New Orleans prices for the same grade of work. Mr. Armstrong was engaged be " canse through him the Department van abb to obtain for the Exhibit , fome exceptionally, fine and. rjah ' gold onggets'"ftom the Sam "Chris- tian mine.- He did regular work at A small compensation while in New : Orleans. Ma installing the Exhibit each took an active part. For the work to be done all who went from this iJeoartmenc, ana aii wuo were eu . . .

Skilled men were , needed; the Department had a force trained in the work reqnired in con ; iiect ion with the Exhibit. Th : work in band being part of a J great paDiic irase 11 was requisite that all the engagements pertaio ing to it should be governed by thf ' strictest prudence that the need-t-& service should be obtained M ' the most! moderate compensation! tliin -nnlii Iia dnnfl onlv bv emnlov- iug the Department torce, for the competition of flfiv;States and Terri- . tAHll Inr skilled lalwir to be Def- lonoed in a short time would: raise its price to extravagant rates.

Mr. Clarke had t ie suiiH intendeuce of the fish oxbibir, iVif which he was well lit ted, being a practical ' taxidermist. Mr. Stamps was not a specialist, but iu other re.-pects rendered constant itndvalnable 'service. With refer ence tt the work to be done it was ii thorbugbly "efficient crops. . Dur:ug the month of February, and after the Exposition had been some time in - progress, a, letter, signed by an or most of the trans montane member of the Legisla ture, was addrc8Sol to the Uoramis yionerof Agriciillqie in whom the coutrol 6fthe Xdrth Carolina Ex hibit' had been vfetl by the Board requesting , that the Bsv. C. D, Smith', of Macon county, be added to those appointed tp attend on the exhibit at New OrleaB8."rhis appll cation was earnestly seconded by gentlemen lufjuence throughout the westers part of the State. The reasons urged by them were : That the western section, in its forests and minerals -differed widely from the -.rest of the State; that it was tbe' seat of mica and corundum mining particularly, and or tue state trade iu ornamen tal woods, as well as other lumber; that its interests in -other respects were various find important and were coming. ' promiBently into view; that.. Mr. Smith possessed a more . intim ate, knowledge of the soils, prod act ioiK," forests, mines, minerals, etc., as a wuoie tnan any other man; that lie was a recognized authority ou these.snb jeers, being a piactical geologist, and having been associated with' -f Prof. Kerr in our geological ' survey: his cootri bntionB to the sorvey being, bonnd together with those ot Prof. Kerr in the Report f 1876. i These rea sons seemed to be conclusive. J.Boc, on the other hand, the number of employees ttf, remain with the Ex hi bit" was - fixed..., If one of these could be-, withdrawn, for the work to which they i were : assigned re quired young and active . men; if, therefore, Mr. Smith were to go it most be as an addition to those al ready there. After weighing the matler in every point ot vlewthe case seemed so strong that the Commissioner came to the ooncla sion that, nnder the circumstances, he could confidently reckon on the sanction of the Board, and Mr. Smith was sent at the same com pensation that was paid him by the Richmond & Danville Bailroad Jwfrp.n acting in th& same capacity at Atlan,ta . ..."t.,ik' j Vdiadc iittji'5r: objection that tbe Commissioner spent twelve days in.

The latter was made at the distance of near a thousand miles, ana it was ipona (tnac noneot tne Board' except the Governor could go, down to inspect the Exhibit in personj It was deemed advisable that the Commissioner should go in order that he might be able to submit a full report thereon at the April meeting of tbe Board. -. It is charged that the Secretary received f 25 to cover incidentals he might not be. able to remember. . The eutire - account of the De partment is hereto annexed". No such item la. to be found in it. It is needless, therefore, to say that no each allowance was ' made for any such consideration. ; ; The North : Carolina" Exhibit, whether fof extent, for variety, for . r- plays of which were acknowledged to be fine, is here presented. The comparison will show that few of those States, if indeed a single one of them, expended so little; and if the comparison is made with those States which are allowed to' have made the best exhibits after- North Carolina all candid judges will ad mit that the amount was small. -. '-. - .The cost of .the - Nort h Carolina Exhibit to the Department of Agri culture was . abaction less, than eight thousand dollars. To this is to be added the sum of $3,333, re ceived from the United -States Commissioner and expended in the, Exhibit. : The : amount, $3,333, re ceived from the Exposition through the j haudsi of the United States. Commissioner by the1 Director and Secretary has been accounted for to him, and'an iteiuiicer -account, to getherj witb; icceipt 1 covering the entire auioaut, ltave been submitted to him. '4ii,u, UiiUij;iV;isi.v ! The State' of Nebraska , spent $15,000, appropriated by .its Legis lature; Wisconsin the sum of $12, 000; Mississippi the sum of $15,000; Texas the sunt "of $50,000; : Minne sota the 8dm' of $30,000, and Cali fornia the sum: of $60,000, Each of these States received in addition to the amounts named their rela tive part of the Exposition fund. ' One paper feels no-, hesitation In saying that "good work ; has ' been done in- the Experiment Station," bat says "it ought to be done 'with fewer men," and avCrsf'jit could be done." This i paper . assigns - no grounds for its opinion, and states no facts in support ot it, but rests it upon simple assertion.,; .:, i . The value of an opinion , depends entirely upon the experience aud judgment in regard to the subject under discussion, of mm who gives If, 'for example, ,; one iWho: knew nothing of mercantile pursuits, or of the quantity ot. business trans acted in Tucker's store were to ex press the opinion that there were too many clerks there, -it is not likely that' those who. heard the opinion expressed would give to it a second thought. So. if one who knew nothing of banking.' were to say there were too many employees in tne banks nere, ' it is. nanny probable that any would stay to listen. In either of these cases, tbe answer would be, ; that a mau to give an . opinion worth anything on such matters, " must f thoroughly understand the subject he is talk ing ;. about. ; The examples - here given lie quite within the' domain of common life we have .plenty of stores and many, bants; .tiariy -observation might enable one to make a gness more or less plausible. But with the Experiment Station it is the very' reverses-there is but ode In the JStafe.',; In .its; operations it is concerned with one of , the most abstruso-'ii sciences, and in -t the most delicate and difiScnltinyestiga tions. In these investigations many different subjects are,, embraced-1 fertilizers,, minerals, ores. and wa ters. Hundreds of different analyses are made, many have to be repeated to obtain satisfactory results. Most of. these analyse occupy several days, though two or three,; or even more in some cases, can be carried on at the same time: In others a longer time is required than that mentioned. There is little .hazard in asserting that Outside of the laboratory at Wake, Forest, the University) Trinity and JMvidson, there are not half-dozen men in the State who ' understand- the work done in the Experiment Station, or the time necessary to do 1 it. In a case so peculiar,so far removed from the experience and observation! nf daily lite, tbe opinion of this paper cannot be worth, more than that o(f any. well educated, mam Loti the statement be made of the nambef of analyses made 'in the Station, and the force employed there, and let the' question be asked whether a part of the force oonld not . be . dis pensed ; witht and the""reply': of ninety men in a hundred would be; "We dont know enough about' the matter to express an opinion what we would say would bo mere guess.". "- i v - 1 it The case in regard to the Experi ment Station stands . thus: r The gentleman at the head of that branch of the Department is a mas ter of bis profession, and is of the highest integrity." The fact that he has such a force at work is- a decl aration that the force is necessary to do tbe work properly. It is a question jof- which he is the only competent Judge, and if bis 6k ill, experience, and integrity afford any just ground for confidence, the fcrce cannot bo i lessened' withoat Crip pling its efficiency. ; , . . '. . : v i. In connection with the laboratory it may be veil to gabjoia a note in F Mn sa J 4V A. AAA t .1.1-1. glassware of which much has to be used is kept as pnro and clear as possible; everything is removed that can interfere with the accuracy of the process. Also, while the operator is at work his hand is often brought into contact with acids and other things which require immedi ate washing. It is thus seen that for good work ot this kind soap and water have to be used without limit. It may be mentioned that through tho-CommissiouM'.i Office soap is occasionally purchased tor tbe State water closet, and charged to the Department, bnt none so charged is used in his office. The necessity for its use in the place mentioned will be obvious.
