Stewart, charged with being drunk.
The old man ia a resident of Monroe,
and his weakness is strong drink. Yes

Probablv One of the Attractions
Coming Fair.
One of the probable attractions of
the county fair will be a spirited race
between a very fast horse and an os
trich. The fair promoters are using
every effort to secure the Florida
ostrich exhibit and should they be suc
cessful the race will be pulled ott.
There are several in Charlotte who
have witnessed a race of this kind. It
will be surprising to many to know
that the ostrich is great on a race and
is exceedingly fleefof foot.
At a meeting of the Charlotte Day
Nurssry Association, held yesterday,
the following committees were named
to sell lunches during the days the fair
is in progress:
Rrfrpcirnipnts-Mrs. E. C. Register,
Miss Ada Heath, Mrs. A. H. Washburn,
Mrs. N. J. Sherrill. Mrs. F. M. Sawyer,

First Mayor of Charlotte to Issue La
bor Day Proclamation.
Tn r.vdpr to more properly dignify
Labor Day, Mayor P. M. Brown has
issued a proclamation setting aside the
dov fnr thp P1TV Cif Charlotte as a legal
holiday. The proclamation, which fol
lows, bears the distinction of being the
first 'proclamation for the day ever is
supd by a mayor of Charlotte:
By an Act of the General Assembly
wealth of North Caroli
na ratified the 23rd day of January, A.
D 1901, the first Monday in, Septem
ber, known as "Labor Day," is declared
a legal holiday, and no person is com
pelled oh that day to do or periorm duy
labor that is not required to be per
formed on a legal holiday.
In accordance with the provisions of
the above mentioned Act, and by vir
tue of authority vested m me as lviayor,
I hereby proclaim and declare Monday,
September 1st, 1902, a legal holiday.
This proclamation is issued out of re
spect to the hundreds ot unarioue s un
serving working men and the various
bodies of organized labor, wno nave al
ways shown themselves much interest
ed in the prosperity and general wel
fare of the city. .
it is tyiv earnest hc-oe and desire mat
our citizens will spend this day in a
manner befitting the occasion.
I have hereunto set my hand and
caused the Seal of the City of Char
lotte to be affixed hereto. This the 28th
day of August A. D. 1902.
