Excerpt from Seventh Annual Report (There Was No Sixth Annual Report) Of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the State of North Carolina, for the Year 1893 Mr. Logan D. Terrell, of Wake, has been appointed Clerk in Mr. Hall's place, and entering on his duties when he did has done remarkably well. This report is largely due to his hard and faith ful work. The subject of labor statistics is fast coming to the front, and the importance of the subject. Is emphasized by the fact that bureaus have been established in nearly every foreign country, and in thirty-two of the forty-four States of the American Union. If these statistics are accurately compiled from year to year, they give to the Executive Department a clear view of the condition and success of the laboring classes, by far the larger part of the popa lation, and to the intelligent legislator a good opportunity to study and know the wants of the very people who, on account of their inability to help themselves, need any and all legislation that can accrue to their benefit. Thus the Governor can recommend and the Legislature can enact such laws as may relieve their burdens, promote their prosperity and the welfare of the State.
