Of course the drivers of automobiles and vehicles protested somewhat yesterday but In view of tbe fact that one of their number had to pay a fine of $5.00 in police court yesterday morning, they decided that it would be better to drive to thc right and avoid arrest than to ignore the law and go to the lock-up and as a result of this pedestrians In Anderson experienced a little comfort yesterday. A member of the police force was stationed at the corner of the square at Whltncr street and Main streets and another was placed at the corner of Main and Earle streets and drivers were made to observe the law and also the regulations governing speed. The streets were not so con gested as a result of the lnnovp.tlon, and the pedestrians had a fighting chance to get out of the way or the vehicles. -O To Pass On The Library Question.
