FLORENCE LABOR DAY, AN IMMENSE CROWD OF PEOPLE PL KASANTLY ENTERTAINED, i _. Scanter Well Represented and Her Horsemen and Automobilisis Win Most of the Prizes, Florence, S. C.. September 4. Plorence has had her celebration j^and acquitted herself most nobly. f showing that she can do things as WeH as her neighbors and not have -ha.lf help in doing it. There were about ten thousand people here yesterday, the railroads brought in nearly 3.500 as well as could be estimated, the conductors could not begin to get all the tickets. t The cars was packed like sardine box .es and the Darlington train, was espe? cially loaded down with people even *o enjine, people hung on all the rms and- were riding on the coal ' * ot board and piiot. Marion. Dillon, Lake City and ail the er country sent big crowds and t <ii:~~?cnds came by private convey? ance. The Coast Line was scarce cf .cars and just could not do any better for us at that time. The crowd was ..good" natured and well behaved. They -came to have a good time and they Qha.d it. The streets were thronged Wirith sight-seeing people, even to the nbs of the roofs on Evans street. wa ere th? events were held every window and balcony was filled to ovcrowing. . first event of the day was the .military parade. The companies I eames in from Darlington, Sumter, and Timmonsville and were formed in bat?allion at the grove where the Presbyterian church stood, the 2nd ^Regiment band from Sumter being ^n the lead. The Darlington Guards were under the command of Lieut. F ?S. Miller Green, the Hallsville Light 'Infantry under the command of Lieut. .Carl Miller, the Sumter Light Infan -try under Capt. Scriven Doar. Capt. Brimson acted Ma.ior, being the ^senior Captain in command. -The pa Tad e was through Evans street to ? Irby, dwn Irby to Palmetto, up Pal? metto to Dargan? up Dargan to the .armory, where !the boys were made at home by the C. L. L. their hosts. The .line was kept beautifully in the pa? rade and the military- received many .compliments. K The battalion was composed of a -fine set of men, and they added no ,:-t!e ei ment to the day The sham battle' had to be cut out of the pro .gram at li' o'clock on account of the hors and other matters and the rain in the i itt er noon prevented the f -exhibition drill at the park. This was -a great ?disappointment to the crowd -who wanted to see the military exhi? bition particularly, but it could not be helped. Dinner was furnished the visiting military- at the armory and it was? ^"bountiful and well prepared. The C. Lu I. members furnished it, their mothers, sisters or wives having pre? pared it, A number of friends and .guests also came up and dined at the armory. The firemen had the first event after the parade and th'-ir races were \ watched with great interest. The day? ana honor of the celebration belong chiefly to them and the town wore the colors of the two teams respec? tively, v hite and green and white and red. There was lots of cheering. ; The horse show was particularly .fine, both the home horses and the horses of the visitors. Mr. Harby .and Dr. Both of Sumter, Lacy Stack house of Georgetown. Huggins of '-Timmonsville and others had horses in the parade that could not be dis? counted. There were mules, horses ,anc colts that were worth coming s me distance to see. The riding and . ' g was fine and elicited many ..cheers. s te stock show and poultry show were not of the best becaufe the .seasons have been against cattle and poultry, but those on exhibition were -well worth seeing.

Sept. 3.-In a former item in this correspondence Mayor Roddy's position in regard to gam? bling was stated. He holds that cot? ton future dealing as exemplified in the exchanges and bucket shops is on a par with crap-shooting and any other form of gambling, and that he cannot consistently fine an offender in any of the latter class when the city council licenses bucket shops. Among the offenders before him at his week-end Court was one - Smith, a negro charged with gam? bling. In accordance with his stated feelings in the matter. Mayor Roddey cited the negro to appear before the city council at its regular meeting to m>- t and be tried by that body. He released the negro on his own recog? nizance. Messrs. D. A. Hurley & Company, who have been conducting stock ex? changes in Rock Hill and other towns for the past year or two, have sold out all their intrests to Messrs. Eell and Fomille. late of Charlotte, X. C., who will continue the business here. Mr. and Mrs. Hurley have moved back to Charlotte, where Mr. Hurley has large interests. A petition is being circulated in Rock Hill for signatures to the re? quest to the -city council that they re? fuse to allow cotton exchanges or bucket shops to operate'in this city. DOWX OX BRYAX. Southern Democrats. Headed By Bailey, of Texas, Repudiate Gov? ernment Ownership of Railroads. Xew York, Sept. 6.-Angered with the stand Mr. Bryan has taken on the question of government ownership of railroads.

MR. A. W. LEVER BADLY HURT. Father of Congressman A. F. Lever Receives Heavy Fall-Arm Broken and Hurt About the Head. Mr. A. W. Lever, the father of Congressman A. F. Lever, was se? riously hurt in a fall at his home near Peaks in Lexington county a day or two ago. Congressman Lever received a telegram here Wednesday afternoon, calling him to his father's bedside. He left late in the after? noon, traveling through the country in an automobile. Nothing has been heard from Mr. Lever as to his father's condition. The fall from which Mr. Lever's injuries resulted was received at his mill house near his home. He was walking across an opening on a piece of timber which broke under his weight, throwing him several feet on the rocks below. His left arm was broken and he was seriously injured about the head.-The State, Sept 7. Appelt's Record. We have been informed by a gen? tleman from the Fork that it is re? ported "Appelt scratched Tillman." It is false, nor did he scratch any candidate who was without oppo? sition. Th eport is on a par with the dirty lie that "Appelt came to Manning with Potter's raid," and it would not be surprising to hear that "Appelt deserted Washington's army-, was killed in the Mexican war, was with John Brown when his body was hung on a sour apple tree, gave birth to twins and was finally sent to the penitentiary for ^trying to lead a decent life. Xothing we hear will surprise us at this time.-Manning Times. Dr. Kuno Fischer, the famous pro? fessor of philosophy at Heidelberg University, has retired on the ground of ill health. F. M. Beckford, of Laconia, Xew Hampshire, was once arguing a case in The Belknap county court, and he cpened his argument as follows: "Your honor, and gentlemen of the jury. This case is ono peculiar in circumstances as well as in fact. Jt came to mo ns a legacy from my late brother. Col. T. J. Whipple, who was engaged in its preparation at the time of his death. The county at? torney who brought the ease into court has long si ?ice gone to his great reward. The justice who held the original hearing has long since passed away. Our attorney, Gen. Barnard, sine<j he became interested in the case has been called to that; land where litigation is not known. Several of the leading witnesses, t<?u. ;ir(. dead," "All of which." said the court, "re? minds us of the uncertainty of hu? man lifo. Proceed, or none of us will be able to see the case through."
