NO ATTENTION TO CHALLENGE
why savannahians VIII Not Bother
With Proposed Atlanta shoot.

why SaFanndh1aas VIII NOt ootheE
With Proposed Atlanta shoot.
The challenge of five Atlanta gun
sfub shots to a f1fty-bird target shoot
to be held in Atlanta. no team in the
state barred. was read in Savannah
with interest, but it is hardly likely
that any team from this city will pay
any attention to the gauntlet thus
thrown down.
The fact of the matter Is that the
local gunners refuse to take the At
lantians seriously. DR.. F. Cheatham
Wilson, a member of the Forest City
Gun Club, and one of the best shots
in the state and country as well, said
of the challenge that 1T was simply
case where the Atlanta men want
little free advertising. why" he said,
there are any number of teams in
this city that could run away from
those men in a match of the kind they
propose, but none of the local men will
pay any attention to the challenge be-
cause they take no stock in any prop
osition for shoot when it comes from
Atlanta"
In explanation of this statement DR..
Wilson said that some three weeks
ago a target shoot was advertised in
Atlanta and one of the events sched-
uled on the programme was a fifty
bird shoot, in which it was claimed
that the best shots of the country had
entered, putting up an entrance fee
of $50. The men alleged to have en-
tered the event were not even in At
lanta, and the shoot, that is, this par
ticular event, never took place but
that didn't prevent the local papers
from printing an account of the
match" just the same, and on the
principle of adding "corroborative evil
dence to an otherwise bald and unin-
teresting narrative" they not only gave
fictitious entries to an event that never
occurred lat ALL but actually printed
alleged scores made in the match and,
further, sent out reports of it through
the Associated Press.

LABOR'S FINE PARADE.
Hundreds of Men Represented
strength of Organizations.

Hundreds of Men Represented
strength of Organizations.
The labor unions made a most cred
liable showing, both as to numbers
and general appearance in yesterday
mornings parade. The line was form
ed at Bull street and Oglethorpe ave-
nue., and with many of the. leaders of
the unions and three brass bands, the
march was begun.
Each union carried in its ranks some
symbol of its calling, the bricklayers
being especially well represented as
to their trade by having a brick house
in miniature, while each member was
armed with trowel. Another part
of the parade that attracted much at
tention was the union colored women
washerwomen and servants, who
brought up the rear of the procession
in carriages.
After the march, which by the way
was much shorter than had been orig
inally proposed the unions were dis
missed and the greater part of their
members, after a hurried dinner, start
ed for Tybee, where the remainder of
the afternoon and the evening were
spent. The unions in the parade were
as follows
Carpenters and Joiners, No 1885,
Painters and Decorators, No. 30; Brick
layers, No. 5; Timers, No. 80; Elec-
trical Workers, No. S.; Granite Cut

He LEAPED SAFELY.

ColOred BaI1oOnist Delighted the
CoIored People mt Lincoln Park.
The colored people did not fail to
enjoy Labor day and got all the fun
there was in it for them. After the
parade in the morning most of them
went to Lincoln Park. where the Brick
layers Union had a picnic 1t is esti-
mated that 5000 were present during
the day, and fully a thousand more
at night. Considering the number the
crowd was orderly and there was lit
tie of that disorder that gives the po-
lice so much trouble on festive occa-
sions of this kind
At $50 O'Clock Phillips, the colored
aeronaut made a successful ascension
in new balloon. He went up until
but tiny speck in the sky, and make
his daring leap landing safely some
minutes later in a field at the F., C.
& p. crossing.

CAME NEAR BEING RUN OVER.
Mr.. Malcolm Maclean X nOcked Down
by an f. and w. Belt Car.

by an f. and w. Belt Car.
. Mr. Malcolm Maclean came very near
being run over by an E. & W. belt car
at Bay and Drayton streets yesterday
morning. AS it was, he was knocked
down and badly bruised. But for his
presence of mind in drawing up his
legs as he lay on the pavement partly
across the track the car would have
passed over him. While his injuries
are not in themselves serious, Mr.. Mac
lean is suffering from shock, and it
is likely to be some time before he
fully RECEIVERS.
Mr.. Maclean came down town on
the Abercorn street car and got off
at Drayton street on the Bay. Just as
he stepped from the car an E. & w.
belt car came along in the same d.
rection as the Abercorn car was going.
Mr.. Maclean attempted to cross the
r. q w. track to get out Of its way,
but was struck by the car~and knock
ed down. AS he fell, his legs were
across the track, but instinctively he
drew them up before the wheels reach
ed him and escaped being run over.
His head either struck the cobble
pavement or the car, cutting
a deep cash in his temple.
He was severely bruised but
fortunately no bones -snmE broken.
The car stopped as quickly as the mo-
torman could stop it. Mr.. Maclean
was picked up by several gentleman
who were on the cars and by others
who were nearby and was taken to the
offices of Strachan & Co, where he was
attended by DIR. Charlton.
A message was sent to Mr.. Maclean's
residence on Drayton street and his
daughter, Miss Cornella Maclean ar
rived in a few minutes and he was re-
moved to his home in a carriage. DR..
Charlton visited him several times dur
ing the day. Although suffering Sc
Verely from his bruises and from the
shock, it was stated last night that
there is nothing to prevent his early
recovery.
A few days ago Mr.. Maclean went to
the assistance of Capt M. ]. Doyle,
who came near being run over at Gas
ton street Capt. Doyle was on the car
with Mr.. Maclean yesterday morning
and laughingly expressed the hope that
he would not be called on by Mr.. Mac
lean under similar circumstances. A
few minutes later Capt. Doyle was as
sisting him after the accident in which
he narrowly escaped being killed.

Matthew NJ. Hopkins observations
in the Crop Belt.

Mr.. Matthew M. Hopkins. of the
cotton brokerage firm of Gaudry &
Hopkins, returned yesterday after an
absence of two months in Highlands,
N. G. On his return Mr.. Hopkins
came through Augusta and the cot
ton country, where he inquired about
the crop is Georgia and also the out
look for business.
Persons with whom l talked lay con-
siderable damage to cotton from var
ious causes, and in some sections ex-
pect the yield TO be curtailed," he
said. Never before has the crop been
so spotted as to condition, and for
this reason an accurate idea as to
the probable crop is difficult to form.
At Augusta there is much activity.
1t looks like 1t will lose none of it's
prestige as a large interior market
OF course, shippers there know the
advantages Savannah offers Them and
will continue to give the preference to
this port. l look for a prosperous
year, and expect cotton to bring
prices reasonably satisfactory to hold

THE Republicans are making a
determined fight to elect one mem
ber of the Board of Supervisors,
one is all they want, and they
don't propose that he shall come
from the valley either. They al,
ready have one Republican. mem
Der and if they can elect one more
that means the election of the as.
SCISSOR for four years and the clerk
of the board, two of the most i'm,
portant offices in the country. The
Democrats cannot afford to sur.
render these two offices to simply
crafty personal feelings. The
Republican scheme is to elect Mr.
Pitt, then the Board will be con
trolled by Hill and Pitt, who will
elect these two officers and they
will be men to suit these two in
dividuals. The Democrats should
think of these things. Ifyou elect
one Republican member of the
Board you will regret it for the
next four years.
