No Labor Day Celebration.

It Is very likely that Labor Day will not be celebrated in Selma next Mon- day to any very great extent. None of the local white trade unions has made any preparations and 1t Is too late now to try to get up a parade for that day.
 During past years the negro labor unions of the city have had a parade. After these parades they would have a speaking which would be largely at- tended by nearly every member of the different unions. Monday no doubt they will again observe the day in the usual manner and parade the streets about 12 o'clock s=.:

In Police Cont.

Notbin9 of A sensational nature de- yeloped in Police Court this morning and nothing marred the serenity Of the session except the crying Of little pickaninny in its mothers arms as Chief Walters opened the court with the cry of "order in court" Only three cases were on the docket for trial and they were quickly disposed of
 The principal case of the session was that against A W. Dent, q well known white man who collects for the furni- ture establishment of W. H. Hinson on Water Street. He was up on the charge of disorderly conduct. the charge being brought against him by negro woman from whose house he took a suit of furniture. He was fined $45 in the case against him for disor- derly conduct and an aditional s5 for contempt of court An appeal was taken and the bond was fixed for his appearance in the higher court at $250.
 John Weaver. A negro, was fined $5 for jumping on moving train. There was also a warrant against John charg- ing him with larceny, but IS the city was not ready for the case 1t was con- tinued and will probably be heard at the session of the court which will be held next Monday morning.
 J. W. Coleman. a white man, was In court on the charge of being drunk. Coleman appeared In court a few morn ings ago on the same charge and begged off. This morning he pleaded guilty again and said that he would leave the city and go to Birmingham. He stated that he was a locomotive engineer and could get there all right. The warrant will be held against him and If he comes here again it will be served. He was kept in the city prison until time for the train to leave for Birmingham, when he was taken to the union passenger station so that he would be sure to have no excuse for not catching the train.
