It is humiliating for ped strians to have to betake themselves :o the streets to avoid bodily harm by :oing in contact with these quad rupeds. I should be sorry for persons utside of Newberry to know that this state of affairs exists here. The white boys who ride their bicy 1es at breakneck speed upon the side walks do so, I think, rrom no spirit of lawlessness or maliciousness, but the climax is reached when the negro does the same thing. What are you going to do about it. To hale this one before the municipal court and ignore those would savor of class legislation. The negro is bound to imitate the white, which is a very good reason why the latter should be lawabiding. The whit4 men who ride the sidewalks do so at a. moderate gait, and I have no com plaint to make of them, except to say that they are not setting a good ex ample. Am gratified to believe that automo bile drivers have regarded the entreaty of council. They are not observed driving at the furious rate that some of them formerly indulged in. In saying these things the writei does so through no fondness for faul finding, but he believes that it woul be better for our town if the nuis ance complained of were abated. Citizen.
