The sergeant-at-arms was the only officer
absent when the president called the Ben
ming Citizens Association to order last
evening, and after Secretary France read
the minutes of the last meeting, which
were approved as read, the chairman OF
the road committee reported that the Co.
lumbia railway folks had begun the work
of paving Benning road from 18th to 10Th
street, and that the same would be COM
pleted In a few days.
Mr.. S. r. Hipsley of the committee on
engine house and water reported that he
had seen the Union stock yard people, and
that they were willing to have the stream
that runs through their property damned
I'D. provided the same was done either at
the expense of the Commissioners or OF
the association. whereupon the president
instructed the committee to see the Com
missioners and request that they nave the
work done at the expense of the District
so as to provide plenty of water for use IN
case of fire
Mr.. ]. w. FraAce, chairman of the spe-
cial committee appointed to secure the new

MIR. Keyser. for grand opening. reported
that the committee had waited en ME-
Keyser, who promised to let the assocla-

charge for the same on that night.
On motion of Mr.. Mewshaw the report
was accepted, Mr.. Keyser was rendered a
vote of thanks for his offer and the COM

SURETY BONDS.

Mr.. J. W. Denmark, Chief Clerk in
the State Treasurer Office, hasaccepted
the State Agency for the American
Banking and Trust Company of B alti
more. Any person expecting to give
bond as an official of any kind, Or as
administrator, can be accommodated
by this company at moderate rates.
Book-keepers or any person holding a
responsible position, can give bond IN
this way, provided their character and
habits are good. Our last legislature
passed an act requiring county com
missioners to accept bonds made
through reliable trust companies. This
will enable any man who may be
elected toa county Office to give bond,
his good character being a sufficient
guarantee for the trust company. Had
this law been in force last year every
county officer elected doubtless would
have been filling the several positions.
to day. AS it was the county commits
sioners refused to accept bonds in some
counties, though the bonds signed by
individual bondsmen were said to be
amply good, and would have been &C
copied had the officers been Democrats.
But all that is over now. If you NOM
mate good men and elect them, no set
of county commissioners a refuse a
bond made through the American
Banking and Trust Company. In the
meantime any persons who may wish
to give bonds a correspond with
Bro. Denmark.

THE A FAIR.

While the exhibits were probably
less than usual, the quality was good.
The attendance on Thursday, always
large, was simply enormous this year.
Most of the fairs this year, both North
and South, have been failures, finan-
cially and otherwise. We think the
State was Fair a success.
Col. J. 8. Carr resigned as president
of the Fair Association at a meeting
of the Board Thursday night. Col.
Benhan Cameron, a well known stock
man and farmer, was elected presi-
dent. Secretary Nichols was re cleo
ted, The fair is still in good hands.
One feature of the fair this year was
discreditable. The side shows were
numerous and you couldn't take a step
without running against a fakir.
Such things are quite common at fairs,
but they should be kept out. One or
more Of the dance shows at the State
Fair last week were soAindecent that
the management compelled them to
discontinue after running in full blast
tWo days. The officers say that they
were not aware of the character of the
show until a late hour. While the
financial condition of country has
much to do with the failure of fairs, it
Is possible that the side show attrac-
lions are tending to bring them into
olsrepute. Let US have clean. honest
fairs or none at all.

That they hoped while in session this

they will be in session November 5n
to decide upon location and to take
such other action as directed by the

SUPPLY AMI DEMAND.

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER is now Rd-
vising the farmers to hold their cotton
for better prices, thereby contradictirg
what the Populist papers have been
advocating viz: that supply and de-
mand" have nothing to do with prices.
It is not our purpose to take issue
with our contemporary as to its ad-
vice, but is not THE FARMER a ''little
off" of it's platform when it acknowl
edges that supply and demand" gov
ern prices. -Louisburg Times.
Not by any means. We contend
that spectators and gamblers in fu
lures manipulate prices to the detri-
ment of the farmer, and it often &C
ours that the price is not in proper
ton to the SUPPLYING matter whether
that be great or small. But supply
and demand cut a large figure. The
supply of money has as much to do
with it as the supply of cotton. With
plenty of money in circulation in the
civilized countries now dominated by
goldbugs, a ten million bale crop of
cotton would hardly supply the de
mand and cotton would be - or Is
cents per pound. When we have a
short crop the demand would be so
great-the article so precious that the
price would easily go one third Or one
half higher. With a 9, 600, 600 bale crop
last year and a short supply of money
under closeup consumption was the
trouble and five cent cotton the result.
With a six million bale crop the sup
ply of money is no greater, the de-
mand no greater, but the price is bet
ter, and may, and doubtless will go
higher. Supply and demand has
everything to do with prices. But the
supply of money must be on hand be-
fore the demand for cotton or any
thing else can become healthy and
stay so With a fair supply of money
staple crops will Always be a good
price, and a short crop will send the
price very high.
