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.
