THE DIRECTOR GENERAL.
Hon John S. Cunningham, the Society's
Popular President.

Hon John S. Cunningham, the Society's
Popular President.
Col. John s. Cunningham, the president
of the North Carolina Agricultural So
ciety and the Director General of this
years State Fair, is one Of the livest
aud wisest of the younger yeomen of the
State. He is native tar-heel and comes
from family noted for its sturdy integ
rity and well directed industry, born and
reared on vast estate in Person county,
he acquired not only practical knowl-
edge of. but natural fondness for agri-
cultural pursuits His distinguished
father, the late John W. Cunningham,
was not unmindful of the fact that in
order to attain the best and loftiest dis
tinction as an agriculturaliSt man
needed the same classical training that
was needed in any other ayoeation,
and so every advantage was furnished
that was necessary TO make we'll
rounded man in mental culture as well
as i'm physical development and practical
eyperience. These advantages We're
duly appreciated and utilized by John ,.
Cunningham, and when the responsible
ties OF managing the vast Cunningham
estate fell upon him, he was in every
way capacitated to assume them, and TO
even greatly enlarge the agricultural OPP
erations and enhance the value of the
broad Cunningham acres as each year
passed by.
Col Cunningham is one of those farm
ers who elevates the calling, and who,
by his individual worth and patriotic eff
forts to aid his fellow farmers has done
Al - I..s1 fhf,
agricultural interest of his community,
his county and his State.
He is busy man, very busy man.
He personally directs and successfully di-
rects several of the most extensive farms
| in the State, supervises and superintends
| vast area that ripens each year into
| abundant harvests, gives his personal su-
pervisng to the planting, cultivating, cur
| ing and marketing hundreds of acres of
| the rich golden weed for which his
| section is famous, and yet with all of
| this he finds time to devote to the pa
| triotic duties incnmbered upon him, as a
live. energetic, publc-spirited citizen of
/ the State. Because of these things and
because that the affairs of the North
Carolina Agricultural Society would be
in most excellent hands, he was at the
meeting Of thes society in October last
unanimously elected president, and while
he did not seek the honor nor desire
10 assume the responsibilities, his love
for his State, his devotion to the agricul-
| tural interest of the State, his willing
ness to do whatever he could to further
the interest of the society and b;uld up a
great State Fair finally induced him to
accept the trust. OF course all who
knew Col Cunningham knew that his

and best young men in the State-th0Se
young men who stand high up in the
scale of life socially, and who are also

formulated a business letter, extending
TO these young gentlemen an invitation
to serve as marshals at the State Fair.
/ urged upon them not to accept our in
vitation unless they were willing to
take Il deep interest in the success of
the Fair and could devote at least four
days during Fair Week in aiding the
managers of the Fair to make it grand
success and the pride of the State I
stated to them frankly that hoped they
would not accept unless they We're de-
termined to provide themselves with
good mounts, and to be in their places
each morning of the Fair with their
horses, and in full regalia to join in the
parade and afterwards perform such
other duties upon the Fair grounds as
would be required of them. The duties
Of marshal of the State Fair are
always of the most pleasant nature,
as upon the marshals depends the entire
social success of the Fair.
Il have been very much gratified at
the responses from nearly every section
Gf North Carolina, from the mountains
to the seashore. The flower of the
young manhood of the State has re-
sponded promptly and seem to be in
earnest.
Il have already received favorable re-
plies from eighty-nine (S9) gentlemen
who have consented to serve, and n
great many of them write me that they
will be here to join in the first parade
Tuesday morning of Fair Week, and
that they will remain here during the
entire week. There are quite number
of other young men yet to be heard
from, and l confidently believe that we
win have at least 100 marshals well
mounted and in full regalia, ready to
join in the parade each morning during
Fair Week.

the people of Raleigh and those of the
State in the Fair this year" SIS

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, Jan. 10.-There was a halt in
the bull movement on the Stock exchange
to-day, the upward course of prices meet
ing with some obstacles. The buoyancy
manifested by some special stocks was not
sufficient to overcome the general tendency
entirely, and prices as a rule are some
what lower. There was some pressure to
sell for London account and prices of
Americans were lower in London before
reported from that center to take an I'M
favorable view of the future of values in
this country. There was also some selling
to realize in continuance of Saturdays
profit taking. The readiness of traders to
realize gave weight to the opinion of some
of the professionals that the technical con-
ditionS were not good at present for a pro-
longed rise. This opinion is based on a
belief that large lines of stocks are already
in the hands of spectators awaiting a rise.
These holdings, it is argued, might be dis
lodged by a slight reaction and passed to
the hands of large combined interests.
caused some of the smaller operators to
pause In their buying to-day. 1t also gave
confidence to the bears. who sold some of
the leading stocks quite aggressively. The
| market was, however, dull, as compared
with the latter part Of the week. There
| was some disappointment in view of Sat
urday'S bank statement at the continued
firmnesS of money, which did not loan
below 3 per cent. Foreign exchange also
continued firm.
The bond market was quite active to-day
and prices held firm in the face of some
realizing in the speculative issues.
