Two Men Hurt. There came near being a fatal ecei- dent this attenoon among the workmen on the Parham stemmery. A heavy timber was being hoisted in position when it slipped and fell back on two of ‘the men. One ot them was badly cu on the head and hurt in the back, and one foot ot the other man was seyerely mashed. Don’t Drive Out The Bicycle. The report having gone out thet the new Lown Couucil was contemplating changing the ordinance relative to bi- side walks, petitions are being circulat— e1 asking ‘he Councilmen to Jet the law remair. as itis. With such streets as we have in Greenville, a law keeping bicycles off the sidewalks would practi- caily mzan that they could not be used intown at all. There are a great many wheels here and a prohibition against their use would work a hardship in a number of cases. Bicycles have to be listed for taxation, and it would be unjust to the owners to make them pay taxes on what they are denied the privilege ot use or benefit from. Many people have purchased wheels during the past year with the expectation of the law remaining as itis, and it would be wrong after their money is invested to prohibit the use ot them. We hope the Councilmen will let the bicycle or- dinance remain as it is until Greenville has better streets. This is the only way to be just to the riders.
