Mr.. Burgwyn's motion relative to State aid was
now taken up.
Mr.. A. NJ Lewissupported the motion as meTitori-
ous Notwithstanding the burdens of the State. The
agricultural interest Of the State was at the bottom
of all other interests and from il the State must look
for her means. He believed the State was alive to
her own interest, and would not disregard demand
made by this Society. Mr.. Burgwynn spoke in sup
port of the motion, and called upon those opposed
to it inform themselves of the facts and then
port to the Society their views
The motion was also advocated by Gen. Winslow
and the President. ---~-
Dr. Crudup doubted the policy of asking any aid
at ali. Did We need the money? He had his doubts
about the policy of increasing the amount of the
sums offered as premiums--it might arouse the Gu
pidity OF competitors. He again drew attention to
the States liabilities for the next few years. and ask
ed the Society to remember that the number of
constituents represented in the Legislature largely
preponderated over that Of the members of this So
cety. He would support the motion, but he thought
it more prudent to postpone the application, If the
money was not urgently needed. fs,.s,s -TV
W. w. Whitaker warmly supported the motion.
The nresent nremiuma would not half ia
most contributors.
Dr. Crudup denied it was the object of premiums~
to pay expenses of contributors. If it was, fail
ure was inevitable. 1t was wrong principle. The
! publicity given to articles was much superior
compensation.
Mr.. Burgwyn would ask no one to work for no.
thing. 1t Was the object, in bis estimation, to
compensate by premiums.
DR.. ,Crudup asked if money was the object, why
! give diplomas?
Mr.. Burgwyn, knew, Of diplomas being refused
| when there was no money to give. ..-s.,
The resolution was unanimously adopted. 8
