Strouss was summoned to appear before Recorder Hurst Monday for driving his automobile on Main street Sunday afternoon at a speed exceeding five miles an hour, the limit fixed in the ordinance regulating the use . of automobiles on the streets/ It appearing that the limit had been ex? ceeded the Recorder imposed a fine of $10, which was paid. It might be remarked, in passing, that if every automobilist who has exceeded a speed of five miles an hour within the past year Jiad been Arrested and fined, the city's income from that source would have equalled or exceeded that de? rived from the dispensary. Five miles an hour is very slow travelling and few, if any, of Sumter's many autor mobilists are slow movers.
