Tho GalTuey Lodger In a recent iisnc thus logically comments : Yesterday waft "Labor Day" and a largo percentage of iho workmen of the cities ^look :i day If Is but fitting that t\io laboring poo >pio should have one day out of the year set apart for recreation, but it i* a debatable questiou as to wh?? are the laboring people of t !t i h | .country. To our mind those who] employ iahor ure the laborers. At a meeting of tho typographical union in Columbia twelve years ugo the writer in the Stnto introduced the llwt resolution to celebrate "?'labor day." Every year since then the day has been observed, AU? legislature at the follow iug oos slon having made it a legal holiday. Then wc woro an employee and classed as a laborer. Now wo work steadier and harder than we did JtkeiLand WJL.da not celebrate ula day'* beeauso we do not have time.

All was eeroue with blm and Monday morning whoa he cauto in ail hour late it didn't worry him a particle, notwithstanding the fact that two oi, tho "hoys" wero on the sick list and wo had more work on hand than we could possibly do in the length of tio>o allotted us to do It.
