Every Part of Uncle Sam's Fighting Machine is Represented in the Big Review. \ Charleston, Nov. 21.?With stirring martial music by many bands, flag's flying, the glitter of the gold and brass of the uniforms and accoutrements of many commands, made to show in sharper contrast with the less showy service dress, the largest and mast spectacular military parade which has ever marched the streets of Charleston marked the great land and naval parade today, one of the special features of Fleet-Fair week. In the parade were represented the entire fighting force of the nation, in the battalion of four nrtmnonioo r?f fho United Sfafpc artil VUUipuixivo Vi VHV CU.iwvu N/VM.VX/U v.. ?.. lery corps, the marine and the'blue jackets from the three divisions of the Atlantic fleet, two regiments of national guard of South Carolina, three divisions of the South Carolina battalion of the naval militia and the reserved military commands of the city of Charleston. making up a splendid military pageant which was reviewed by the ranking officers of the navy. Mayor Grace and other specially invited peo pie of distinction, at Marion square, as the procession moved up King street. A Great Parade. It was a great parade. Nothing like it has ever been seen in Charleston, and thousands of people lined the route of march, assembling an hour before the time of passing of the troops, in seeking vantage position to see the !>rocession. It was an enthusiastic whinh caw* tho snldipr? nnd thp seamen march by and frequently along the route, the pent up admiration of the crowd gave vent to its enthusiasm with loud applause, drowning the stirring music and the steady tread of the soldiers as they moved with pre-! cision through the crowded streets, j It would seem a difficult task to j marshal into marching order more j than 7.000 men. but to the military i men, it was a comparatively easy task. The various organizations were assigned positions in advance of the time fixed for the parade to move off and when Brig. Gen. Wilie Jones ordered "Forward, March," the whole proces- j sion moved as one man, with the or- ! ganizations turning into position and j following the marching order at pre- i scribed paces. * The landing of the several thousand j men from the ships for participation ! in the parade was of itself an inter- j esting sight and gave to those who , observed the operation an insight into | liic icauiiic^o wicix v> iaigc nuiu- j bers of men can be landed from naval vessels. The vessels put out several launches with big tows and hundreds j of men were moved from each ship in ; a few minutes. The: officers came with j the men and as quickly as the boat j loads were landed at pier 11, the men j rt nr On /J *VS/VTTA/^ ' . jlvi iiicu in maiV/iiiiis anu uiuvcu off to their place of assembly on east i Battery. Rear Admiral Winslow, who ; had been tendered the command of the whole parade, as grand marshal, preferred to command simply the naval i brigade, with Maj. Catlin in command i of the marine regiment. A company i of marines was furnished by each ship i U1I& 1 fgliUCUU >o Shortage of Music.

Held Up in Road. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon j P. B. Ellesor was returning from I Prosperity alone in his buggy when he was accosted by two negroes, who | asked the white man for a chew of to- \ bacco. When the farmer stopped the negroes drew their pistols, one approaching from each side of the buggy, and demanded that the white man j give up his cash. At the point of the I pistol Mr. Eliesor was forced to turn lover about $25, all the money that he \ had in his possession: After robbing Mr. Eliesor the negroes forced him to leave the buggy and'the two highway j men took possession of the buggy and i horse and drove off down the road. | The negroes drove the animal to a j point near Poaiaria, it is said, when Ithey deserted the horse ana buggy, leaving it beside the roadway, where it was later found.

Gallagher, foreman of construction gaug of the ' Southern railway, was the first, to receive a shot from the negroes, a ball having pierced his shoulder, lodging In the neck, near the jugular vein. James E. Epting, a farmer, received a bullet in the left arm. When the negroes opened fire on the party of citizens the shots were returned. Escaped to Kiver. One of the negroes ran toward the river and was seen to fail to his knees, the other ran through the streets of Peak with his pistol in his hand and was fired on by his pursuers. The negro ran for a short distance, when he fell to the ground as he attempted f to cross a ditch, a pistol ball having entered his hip, passing through the body and came out in the abdomen. He was lodged in the guardhouse, where he was kept until 10 o'clock this morning., when he died. Officers on Scene. | At 11 o'clock last night| Sheriff Miller was aroused from his slumbers by a telephone call, telling him of the occurrence. The Lexington officer, se ! curing an automobile, left at once for [the scene. He arrived at Peak about 12 o'clock tbis morning and found a ! large party of citizens, tbe news of the hold-up of Mr. Ellesor and the shooting that followed having spread over j the community like wild fire in a sage * field.
