THE EXPOSITION INSTRUCTIVE
AND VALUABLE.
That is the Estimate DR.. g. D. Smith.
OF the Board of Agriculture,
Puts Upon It,

A reporter Yesterday interviewed |
DR.. Z. ID. Smith, Of Franklin, in re-
gard to the Exposition. He said !: |
The exhibit at the Southern In
ter-state Exposition is, upon the
whole, not only a creditable one,
but an instructive and valuable one,
/ and should be visited and studied
| BY the great body of the people of
North Carolina. The display of
goods manufactured in the State,
while not in large bulk, show the
Eexcellency of the work, and demon
strate that our people need not go
Ibeyond the limits of the State for
all that class of goods necessary to
respectable and comfortable clothing
il regret that comparatively few
merchants in the State have visited
land examined this display of manu-
factures from our own mills as to
|style and quality of the goods. Why
should not North Carolinians wear
North Carolina goods, especially
when they are in many respects
superior in quality at least to goods
bought in other markets. There is
one article that deserves special
mention. That is the article of
blankets. 1t is a shame that any
North Carolinian should use any
other blanket upon his bed than the
superior blankets manufactured in
his own State.
One notable feature in the North
!, Carolina department, and l mean
by this the exhibit by the Depart.
ment of Agriculture and the coun
ties represented, is the improved
quality Of the agricultural products
on exhibition. This speaks vol
umes for the work of the Bureau
and the Experiment Station for th'
past ten years. And the improves
quality of these products indicate
# another great truth which our peopl
a are slow to appreciate, and that i
f a very decided advance il
o the agricultural conditions an.
o methods of the State. Il
= this view of it / heartily wish ever
farmer in the State could visit an
study it. Indeed, it furnishes al
object lesson of great value to tn
workers of the State. Judging fror
the material on exhibition as an eA
r ponent Of the richly diversified IT
le sources of the State and from tn
ii comparatively few counties here re
E. presented, l am free to say that
k every county in North Carolina We
represented by an exhibit of all tn
" valuable material in them, Mort
Carolina alone could fill buildin
twice the size of the present one.
&c You ask my opinion of the E'
position as whole. Well let n
fic say that it far surpasses my expe
ke tations. It is more varied and cor
f. prehensive than / had hoped
N. find it. 1t is more artisticauy a
&C. ranged than | expected it to b
mt 1t is in fact an elegant show, OF
re calculated to attract and intere
to the appreciative eye and instru
at and edify the enquirer after valu
itv BILE information. The people &c
orally ought, by all means to see
ad: they ought to study it and in doil
t" so they will find ample means
est their profit and pleasure.

REMINISCENTIAL.

DR.. Gatling gave us quite num-
Der of incidents that had come
under his observation in his rela-
tionship with public men; and then
referred most pleasantly to the dis
tinguished North Carolinians he
had known. His tribute to Chief
Justice Smith was warm and sim
cere. He knew him well-one of
the ablest statesmen and jurists the
State ever knew. OF Kenneth Ray
ner, William H. Wheeler, David
Barnes, j. j. Yates and other lead
ing lights of the First district,
he spoke with interest and genuine
appreciation. When DR.. Gatling
taught school, one o. luis pupils was
Hon. JESSE j. YATES, and he relat-
ed some of the school-day incidents
which brought back to the great in
ventor the memories Of his own
youth, and he rubbed his hands and
laughed with all the zest that pleas
ant old recollections produce.
DR.. GATLING's FAMILY.
DR.. Getting is the President Of
the Gatling Gun company, and re-
sides in Hertford, Conn. He mar
ried MISS SANDERS of indianapolis,
who is an aunt of GEN. LEW WAL
LACE. He has three children, one
daughter and two sons. One of the
sons is a practising lawyer in New
York, and the other, nineteen years
old, is something Of an inventor
himself. DR.. Calling and his fam
lily have been to North Carolina
several times on a visit to his niece,
the widow oc the late JOHN PEBBLES,
of Northampton county.
We shall refer tomorrow to DR..
, Gatling's love for North Carolina,
and his wise views on public ques-
tions. He believes in the free coin
age of silver, the repeal Of the in
ternal revenue tax, and a tariff suf-
! fcient merely for the uses of the

o tered.

TIE GREAT INVENTOR

How He Got His Start
In The World.

STARTED Il POOR NAN.

Proudly Said II am North

Asannounced yesterday morning,
DIR. RICHARD j. GATLING, inven-
tor of the Gatling gun, is in the
city. He is native of Hertford
county, North Carolina, and though
his business has called him
to other sections, his heart has al |
ways been loyal to his native State.
We are glad to have him among us,
and to show him that the people of
North Carolina have followed his
career with interest, and taken pride
in the worldwide fame which he
has won.
A reporte- Of the CHRONICLE
called upon the doctor last night.
He is the guest Of Mr.. PULASKI
CowPER, whom he knew as boy
of three or four years old when he
made a journey overland in 1874
to St. Louis to seek his fortune. He

t knows the customs and habits Of all
people; is acquainted with and on
intimate terms with many Of the
most noted scientists and publicists
of all nationalitis. He is a modest
! man, and in the pleasant chat we
had he only consented to speak of
u himself when assured that it would
prove an incentive to the ambitious
youth Of the State.
1t was in 1874, he said, that he
{ passed through Raleigh on his way
n to St. Louis to seek his fortune
( He had done copying in the office
: of Mr.. CowPER's father in Muir

HOW TIE GATLING Gun WAS INvEN-
TED.
The doctor lived near the depot
in Indianapolis, and in 1862 he vas
moved to see the boxes sent by ex-
press containing the bodies of the
men who had been killed in battle.
One morning there were eighteen
corpses brought in on the train.
Out of the eighteen, only four had
been killed by bullets. 1t occurred to
him then that he could make gun
by which one man could do the execu-
tion of one hundred. His first gun
fired $50 shots. He went to Gin
cinnati, made six guns at a cost Of
$4,000, andj just as they were COM
pleted, the house was burned and
his guns destroyed. At the Cincin.
natl type foundry he made Is guns
and tried to sell them at Washing.
ton. He lost $4,000 before he
got an order.
