aHH Members of the Legislature finding
a copy of this paper upon their desks are
invited to examine its contents with a view
to enrolling themselves among its regular
readers, if pleased Herewith. Some dozens
Of Senators and Representatives are already
subscribers; all of whom together with the
former comrades of the editor III the session
of 1917 will bear witness that the FARMER
AND MECHANIC speaks It's honest sentiments,
criticising and p~raising with equal freedom,
aiming only to do exact justice, and hew to
the line, letting the chips fall as they may.
Ought such a paper to be sustained? II
you so think we trust you will at once send
us your address and s. 200; or leave both
with the chief clerk of your House, who
will kindly hand them to us.
During the coming campaign (notning
preventing) We shall sketch the shocking
story of Grantism in North Caro- ina, from
1868 to lS14.-an history that will seem al
most too shameful for belief, though it oc-
Cured 10 our midst, under our very eyes,
and with SO painful results to the lives Of
many of us.
The eoitor is in daily receipt of letters
calling for back numbers containing
his Sketches thus far published. This
call cannot now be filed, as our means did
not permit us to print a large umber of ex-
ira copies each week. But it may be proper
to state that the articles hitherto printed
have been chiefly of an historical, discursive.
and general character; so that subscribers
beginning noao may perhaps find much mat
ter of a closer interest to themselves, as
North Carolinians, than in previous mum
bers. The paper. however, without the
Sketches ought to be worth any mans 3!

PoLITICAL.-Gov. Jarvis says that last fall
Anticipating a rise III the price Of iron, he
bought $50 tons at $40 per ton, which could
not now be bought for $50 per ton. This
was creditable to his foresight: though a
dangerous precedent. new Best

Committee, names Thomas j. Jarvis, L. B..
Vance, and j. NJ. Worth, as examining com
missioners, at $40 per diem texclusive Of
actual travelling expenses to be paid by
the company, to watch the progress of the
work, and report as often, at least, as when
ten miles are finished, etc. 1t wo I'D have
been more fitting, We suggest, for other
gentlemen Of equal wisdom and plotlty
to be nominated in the Bond" His Ex-
cellency, the Governor Of North Carolina
should not draw a vulgar ten dollars a day
for trotting along a railway track to see it
we'll built. The Honorable Senator, and
State Treasurer are supposed to have duties
for which they are fully honored and paid.
We agree with Bro. Yates in his recent sug-
gestion that two many Offices and
the particular friends Of the admin
istration. There are hard workers in
the party who are passed over year
after year (because they don't intrigue for
caucus nominations, or hang around the
doors of the capital seeking place or patron
age) while aides-de- camp, Directorships,
Commissionerships, etc, are lavished on the
lucky few. Kissing may "go by favor
among the gentle folk but political favor
should be a little more evenly distributed
among those whose services are so necessary

ERRONEOUS DATA.-O Our friends of the
Wilmington STIR, GoIdsboro Messenger, and
several other papers. have been misled into
stating tue cost Of the Agricultural and
Geologic sRureau at far too low a figure.
VIII theN note the fact, as furnished by
State Treasurer Worth, that the receipts of
the. agricultural Department, (alonel for the
past three years were $50. lO2 81, inclu-
ding nearly 81. 200 tonnage tax, which has
been refunded? Will they also note the
further fact that the cost of the TWO Blu
not S~5l.273.76 as stated by them, but were
nearly serenity thousand, as shown By the
State Treasurer in these columns last week?
Here are Treasurer Worth's figures
The Agricultural Dept. and one

The Agricultural Dept. for Jan.
and Feb 1880, 2.S7e.57
Printing-paid by the State, go. SO
Professor kerr's Department.,
, years, 1879, 10000. 90
Total for both to March lst, s~67.732.6O.
This much is positively official. But this
is not all. 1t does not include the cost of
the paper. etc, for Colonel Folks 5000
large Hand books which paper was paid for
by the State under the general head of Sta
tionery. The Publisher of the hand books
put this item alone at above 81, 500. 90.
Moreover it should be noted that the
Ireasurer's figures run only to March lst.
whereas the third year ended March 12,-
nearly two weeks later embracing considera-
bic expense. Furthermore, the true esti-
mate cannot be reached until the buck sal
ares for the quarter are settled, together
with a number of warrants issued but not
yet checked off upon the Treasures books.
DR.. Worth, you are aware. is Treasurer
for so many concerns that he has certain
Banks to act as his deputies, ca.hing orders.
and keeping separate books. These ac-
counts and vouchers are transferred to the
Treasury every few weeks. Hence, the ina
blllty to reach the precise figures in this
case.
