Atlanta, Sept, 2.—Beginning with n glittering pageant in the morning and «'nding with a grand ball at night, At lanta celebrated Labor day in a more r ppropriato manner than ever before in the history of organized labor in the t-'^th. The preparation of months past reached a splendid climax, when to the stirring notes of martial music from eight bands, 0,000 union men in gala at tire marched through the principal bus iness streets of the city to honor the first labor holiday m the twentieth ecu- * ury. 'iho state house officers, the state courts, the city offices and business houses throughout the city were closed during the day. Employes in the lacto nes and workshops ceased their labors »hat they nii;ht participate in the cele- bratiou, while thousands of visitors from other cities and towns thronged the streets to witness tire parade. Excursions were run on all the rail roads entering Atlanta, and largo dele gations from Augusta. Home, Marietta. Dalton, Luhonia, Stone Mountain and other places swelled the great crowds iu the city. The parade eclipsed anything of the kind ever seen iu the Eouth. Every union in the city was represented. A large number of floats typifying ali the principal business enterprises of Atlanta proved a feature of the pageant. Many handsome prizes were awarded to the unions making the most credit able showings. The day was also fittingly observed at Birmingham, Savannah, Columbus and other southern cities; in fact, no more general or appropriate observance of the day has ever before been kuowu in the south. LABOR DAY AT CHICAGO. * Kstimated That ii.“>,000 Trade Union ists Were In Big Parade. Chicago, rfept, 2.—Organized work men in Chicago and vicinity celebrated Labor day with numerous picnics and o huge parade today.

Buildings were not decorated, but banks, the board of trade, the Stock Ex change and business houses generally were closed to allow full observance oi the day. The South Chicago Steel workers, who refused to obey Shaffer’s strike or der, were not invited to participate in the demonstrations. They enjoyed themseives at a picnic arranged by their employers. A feature of the parade, although uot observable to spectators who lined the sidewalks, were the union label attached *£o ever garmeut, cap and shoe woru by the marchers. A critical committee had seen to it that the parade should repre- uent dyed-in-the-wool unionism and even the horses were uot allowed to march until it was shown that their shoes had been put on by union smiths. Among the speakers at the picnics were Senators Mason and Cullom of Illinois, Mayor Harrison and Samuel Alschuler, former Democratic caudidate for gov ernor of Illinois. ( oluuibus’ Cotton Keeelpts.

Hill, who was being taken trom Washington to the insane asy lum at Raleigh by Sheriff Hodges, at- tomped to commit suicide on the train. He cut his throat aud c&me near bleeding to death. A faith curist took a patient away from the Mission hospital a few days ago at Asheville and death was the re sult. The patient had fever and was removed during a storm to Inauda, a few miles west of Asheville. The court will probably investigate this criminal negligence. Mr. J. S. Crenshaw, of Meck lenburg county, shot and mortally wounded one negro and also shot an other iu the hand, who were raiding bis watermelon patch one night last week. Air. Crenshaw submitted, and was required to give a $000 bond for appearance at a preliminary hearing.

Goldsboro Fire Company No. I. has lost a friend indeed, this horse enab ling them to win several prizes at the Firemen's Tournement this year. The south-bound train from Ashe ville struck Charlie McCarson one morning last week about two miles north of Hendersonville. He died in & few hours after being struck and leaves a wife and one child. It is not known what he was doing on the track or what caused the accident, but the last time be was seen he was considerably under the influence of liquor. Two months ago his son was kill on the railroad near Henderson ville in about the same way. Some time Friday night thieves entered the drug store and as the safe was a small one, they carried it to the lot in the rear of the building and there did the cracking. The explo sion was heard by a number of resi dents of the village but the cause was not known until this morning. A messenger was dispatched to Mr. J. P. Crowders, who lives near Fort Mill fur his bloodhounds. No one was al lowed to go near the safe because it would confuse the dogs. On Satur day afternoon nothing bad been beard from the thieves. Friday afternoon about three o’clock Miss Beulah White, at Gastonia, was walking along the road near Union Grove church, between the Arlington and Loray Mills. She noticed a ne gro man walking along in frontof her. She stopped to tie her shoe and the negro turned and advanced toward her and probably spoke to her. She screamed and tbe negro ran. He came through town and took to the woods east of town. A big crowd, probably fifty, started in pursuit, dogs were put, on his trail. Tbe crowd soon dwindled and only sheriff Arm strong, policemen Williams, Smith and ino. Hanna mounted, and po licemen Russell and W. P. Up ton on foot continued. The negro took a circutious route for probably eight or ten miles until ho was com pletely exhausted. The dogs bayed him In Olney branch in water neck deep and under a bramboo cluster.

White who is subject to nervous spells, gave way under tbe strain of .Friday, and Saturday morning tbe trial was de« layed. Later—The preliminary hear ing showed by several reliable wit nesses that tbe negro followed Miss White from tbe railroad to tbe main road through three or four changes she made to get rid of him. She left the road to go by a house near by and he followed her both running until an open space brought the residence in full view when the negro ran away. Garner was committed to jail to be tried at court.

Cherukse Drug Co. LOWER CHEROKEE LOCIL CUILIHGS. A Protracted Meeting Going on at Abingdon Creek. THE NEWSPAPER MEN. The‘‘Kernal" Write* uf the Farmer* Try ing to Have Fodder Item* of letereKt of Loner Cherokee -I’erHoiial I'limgraidiH — New* NoteH. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jane, Aug. 31.—The brethren and sisters of Abingdon Creek Church, as well as their neighborsand friends, are enjoying a most excellent meet ing which has been in progress during this week, and, which, notwithstand ing the rain and other interferences, has not missed a single service at the appointed hour. Rev. Mr. Ross bus been assisting the pastor, Rev. F. C. Hickson, and the congregations have been good. Mucli interest is mani fested and it will be our pleasure to report great results at the close of the meeting. There has been no unusual occur rence in the neighborhood that we recall and that deservo mention in this communication. Mr. John Estes and Sam and Miss Ethel Strain aro visiting the family of Mr. Charlie Sparks, of Clifton. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wood, of White Plains, were among their friends and relatives in this section this week. They attended the meet ing at Abingdon Creek church. We spent a day on Pearidgo this week among our friends and old army comrades. We find that a great meeting is in progress at Foster’s Chapel and that tho Holy Spirit is visibly moving upon the hearts and consciousness of men and women. His many friends, through The Led ger, will be glad to learn that Rev. Sam T. Creech, formerly of Gaffney, is now doing a great work and making many friends in his present field of ministerial usefulness. Every fibre of bis heart is wrought up to its high est tension and his increasing z al and earnestness must under divine guidance crown his efforts with abundant success. He has that com mendable ambition, if I should not say consecration, in his work that will some day land him upon the top round of the ladder. So mote P. be. In his address before the Ohio State Press Association Colonel A. K. Mc Clure paid this deserved compliment to journalism. He said among other things : “What is journalism in this great republic ? In England it has been called the 4th estate. In the free institutions of America where the people are Sovereign and where the newspapers are chief educators of those who govern the land, the press is the first estate. Like all great ele ments of power, it is as shadowed aspects. It has many teachers of its own creation who are discreditable to the great calling and a reproach to the most intelligent people of the earth. But, discounted by all its im perfections the press of the United States is the best the world has ever known and is tbe most potent of all the varied factors fn our free Govern ment. I regard the editorial chair as the highest public trust of our free institutions. Presidents, Cabinets, Senators and Representative bodies come and play their brief parts and pass away, many of them into forget fulness, and great parties rise and fall in the swift mutations of the po litical efforts of a free people. Journ alism not only survives all the varied changes of our political system, bub its duties and responsibilities multi ply with each year as it becomes more and more the great teacher of the people in their homes. When President Harrison came into power he honored himself by nomi nating to three of the four liret-class missions of the Government distin guished representatives of American journals: Whitelaw Reid to France, Charles Emory Smith to Russia, and Murat Halsted to Germany. High as was the compliment paid to journ alism by the president, the highest compliment of all was paid Air. Hal stead when he was rejected by a Sen ate of his own political faith, and an exceptional compliment was paid Air. Reid, the honored guest of the eve ning, by his narrow escape from re jection by the same body. There was not an objection urged against the confirmation of either of the eminent journalists that was not inspired by resentment for the best journalistic efforts of their lives. It was tbe manly, fearless criticism of public men and public measures; the exposure of the infirmities and per fidy of those who pose as representa tive statesmen of the Republic that honored Mr. Halsted by refusing him the mission for which he hud been nominated; and that paid a rare trib ute to Mr. Reid by grudgingly assent ing to his appointment. Tbe coward ly, submissive journalist is Innocent of antagonisms; the aggressive, fear less, faithful journalist commands the highest distinction—hostility from all who make politics a trade and prostitute statesmanship to men of ambition for jobs. I recal)|uleo with great pleasure that the two great edi tors who were confirmed to fill first- class missions have both voluntarily resigned to assume their newspaper duties. We are here met to welcome Mr Reid back to hit high public trust of journalism and in Philadel phia we shall soon be able to welcome Mr. Smith who has resigned his mis sion and will resunaa Die great calling of hla life. These leaders of our pro fession have learned the littleness of I official trust when compared with the highest of all public trusts—the di rection of a great newspaper ” Farmers are trying to save what little fodder they have left. Pea vine | hay will lie plentiful in places where it has had an opportunity to make something—sown in time and on the rieht kind of land for a wet season. On account of sickness in his fam ily and other causes Rev. Air. Alarion will not hold the communion meeting at Salem till the fifth Sabbath in September, beginning on Friday be fore. Air. and Mrs. Eldridge Wood, of WhitejPlains, were at Abingdon Creek last Tuesday. The Union County Interdenomi national S. 8. Convention held at Carlisle last week was a great success notwithstanding the rainy weather. Success to The Ledger. J. L. s IN THE MOUNTAINS. “Ittiftter'’ and III* Friend* are Having a Great Time. Cedar Mountain, N. C., Aug. 27.— Leaving Gaffney on the Kith inst., in our wagon, we started on a jounrey to the mountains of Western N. C., coming via Spartanburg and Greers. It rained on us everyday for six con secutive days, and as we came driv ing up Zion hill, the water was pour ing on Wright’s old mill. The cotton crop from Duncan’s, 8. C., to the foot of the mountains will not average (i inches high, and it wiil take an average of six or eight acres to make a bale, and tho corn is very sorry. On the 13th inst., there was a wa terspout along the Saluda river which done great damage to crops, and washed away ail the bridges between here and Greenville, 8. C., and com pletely destroying the Jones Gap road. A great land slide for about a mile makes it impossible for a man to lead a mule up the road. There are many South Carolinan’s up here visiting the best summer re sorts in America, where the nights are so cold we have to crawl under two and three quilts every night, and the water is so cold it makes our teeth ache to drink it. There is a case of scarlet fever at Ceasars Head, and several cases along the road from Duncan’s to the moun tains. The youngest son of Air. L. H. W’il- son of this place, accidentally shot himself yesterday just above the knee with a 32 revolver. The doctor could not locate the ball, it ranging down ward. He is resting very well today. It has rained every day since we arrived here, and everything is alloat We cannot say when we can return. The crops are pretty good here, cabbage fine. We are eating fat mutton three times a day, and occasionally, we step out and catch a mess of fish. The mountain trout aro the prettiest fish we ever saw. We know, Mr. Ed itor, you cannot help but envy us when you go to drink your hot drinks in town. Just shut up and take a vacation a few days and come up and enjoy yourself, we would be glad to grasp your hand on this side the of Blue Ridge. We would invite Bachelor of Buffa lo to drop us a card but we are ex pecting to leave here in eight or ten days, and besides we learn that he is busy trying to get rid of bis honora ble little “Bachelor” and charge to Buffalo Bill. Now old boy there is only one way to bring about the change, viz: Get you a wife, then you will be a man. It is raining here now, and the squirrels and pheasants are keeping up a racket of their owo. Buster. Shot From AiiiIjuhIi. Couimi.ia, S. 0., Sept. 1.—At Cher ry Grove, N.

Foley was called to his gate by a man who said he want ed to see him and when he came with in 20 steps of him tho man fired at him, killing him instantly. Cherry Grove has been the scene of numer ous shootings from ambush buring the last year.
